CHRISTMAS DONT'S

Don't tell people that you do not
expect to receive any presents. You
know you do.
Don't forget that the clerk who has
been working long hours for many
weeks is human.
Don't, II the present you are send
ing away was expensive, fail to re-
move the price tag.
Don't hunt for price marks on the
presents you receive.
Don't wait till Christmas for the
purpose Of being kind.
Don't let your left pocket know
what your right pocket gives for
friendship, for love or for charity.
Don't be grouchy merely because
some delivery boy happens to prod
you with the corner Of box that Is
twice as large as he.
Don't let yourself suppose when you
crowd into the place where Christmas
shopping is being done that you are
the only one who is in hurry.

On Christmas morning Frederick
Allison was somewhat surprised when
his wife handed him small plush
case, saying:
There, dear, is set Of things that
you probably didn't think of when you
were buying everything you thought [
might possibly want to give you for
present. You don't need them yet, but
you probably will some day, and l
thought it would be nice to get them
row. seeing that they were offered al
a bargain
He opened the case, looked at the
set of teeth it contained and said:
Lets go to breakfast. l want to
bite Into something. -

formed her, to last him all winter.
Then it was that the iron entered yu
liet Allison's soul. She decided to give
up the idea of making her husband
Christmas present that would be in
any wise distinctive. She would mere
ly get him a pair of gloves and per-
haps few handkerchiefs. Hardly had
she adopted this resolution, however,
before he turned to her sayingi
"I happened to be in Witherspoon's
this afternoon to get some shirts, and
| thought | might as we'll lay in sup
ply of gloves, handkerchiefs and sus'
penders. They'll probably be sent out
tomorrow"
"I'm so glad" replied Juliet. "You
need gloves and handkerchiefs, too. or
course, i don't know SO much about
your suspenders, and I suppose you
bought all the half-hose you'll"
YES, forgot to mention that. got
a dozen pair"
And you have all the cuff buttons
and studs and such things that you
need, haven't your"
Enough to last me lifetime"
She went back to her chair and sat
for. long time gazing at the flames
which flickered around the gas log.
The daily paper was lying on the table
at her elbow, and her glance at length
fell upon some large black letters
which presently resolved themselves
into words. Then she read this adver-
tisement:

little Willie on the head, have you
written to Santa CLAUSE"
NO." replied the child. II heard
papa and mamma talkin' about what
they were goin' to give me, one night
when they thought was asleep, and
If old Santa doesn't want to stop

to get him neckties for Christmas.
That's just the man of it. l don't see
why he couldn't have waited little
while. Let me see. l suppose I'll have
to get him a fob or something like
that, now"
1t was on the following evening that
Frederick Allison suddenly turned to
his wife, after dinner, saying:
"Oh, Juliet, I want to show you a
fob that bought for myself today. It's
just the thing I've been wanting for a
long time"
Juliets enthusiasm over it was much
forced, as her husband might easily
have seen, and perhaps did see. After
they had dropped the subject she hap
pened to glance at his scarfpin and a
new Joy sprang up within her. She
would get him scarfpin for Christ
mas, for his old one was rather out OF
style and never had been an expensive
one, anyway.
by the way, DEAR" said Allison the
next evening, II bought something to.
day that I'd like to have you look at"
OF course, it was scarfpin. Juliet
knew it would be the moment she saw
the tissue paper package which he
fished out of his vest pocket. She pre-
tended, with brave heart, to think it
was very pretty, but she fancied that
she could have made better selection
if he had only permitted her to have
the chance.
At the Office Allison had told the
boys of the splendid plan he had hit
upon for the purpose of keeping his
wife from buying impossible things in
the shape of Christmas presents for
him, and it was with great satisfaction
that he reported day after day how he
was progressing.
Christmas was only week away
and Juliet lay awake long time
that night trying to think what present
she could get for her husband. There
were the new books, but he had in.
formed her that he didn't want books.
They had all the standard works in the
library, and he never read any OF the
modern novels. All, . happy thought
