but now, with
all the rest of modern improve
ments, it comes three or four
times a year. Or at any rate it
seems to; but that is beside the
question. The main point is that
1T has rolled around again, and
before you can say scat it will be
Christmas again.
Hence | am writing these few
lines to urge you to go and do
your Christmas shopping right
away. Don't put it off. Begin
on it today, while the shops are
comparatively empty, before the
salesgirls are worn and harried
until they are reduced to bundles
of nerves and temper, and while
you are still in command of your
sane senses.
Don't put off buying your
Christmas gifts until the week
before Christmas when you, and
million other women, will be
afflicted with Dementia Christ
masana, and go running around
in circles in the department
stores, beating your head up
against the counters, and crying
out, What shall ] get for my
husband, and my son, and my
daughter, and my mother, and
my father, and my sister, and my
brother, and my in-laws-drat
EN-, they won't like what I give
them, anyway-and for Uncle
John, and Aunt Sally, and Cou-
sin Sue, and the people across
the street who will send me
something, and whom I've got to
send something to-"
And you won't be able to re-
member a single fad or fancy, or
taste, or inclination, or habit, or
occupation of single human be-
ing you know. And you'll 60
home and have nervous prostra-
ton, and give it to the clerks,
and wish you had joined the
Spugs and saved your money and
your clothes and your time and
the wear and tear on your dis
position.
Now, / am one of those who
believe in Christmas giving. 1t
is a joy to the generous to give,
and it is salutary for the stingy
to be made TO give up at least
once a year But the thing that
makes Christmas season of tor
ment and woe and that leaves us
feeling as if we had been run
through stone crusher is be-
cause we don't begin our prep
arations in time, and because we
don't bring any common sense
to bear on the proposition.
Wherefore / urge, entreat, inn
plore, and otherwise request you
to bear in mind your own COM
fort and the good of that brave
little army of working women,
the salesgirls, and do your shop
ping early. It's a time to show
that you are real big sister who
feels for the little sister behind
the counter.
Then about the Christmas gift
itself
Unless you are making a. pres
ent to some one who is very
rich, the one best bet for an
acceptable Christmas present is
money. Don't be afraid of any
body being offended by a check,
or even a. ~.fewS dimes. They
won't, and every one of us could
use a little money so handily,
and get something we. secretly
pine for, and can't afford, if only
you would send us little money
instead of the fool thing you do
send. 81 brfs

There were silly gift books,
with padded backs, and fine
pictures that cost $40 or
SIS, and that nobody ever
looked at second time; there
were lamps that cost SIS or $40.
when your home is flooded with
electric lights; there were table
centers that cost S. and scarfs
that cost So and 81, and imita-
ton Japanese vases that cost 81
and 81, and so on-enough
money thrown away in things
that were absolutely useless to
you to have bought something
worth while, if only you could
have pooled it all, and if peo-
pie had thought it proper to
have sent you Is cents or a dol
lar and a half or whatever their
gift cost.
AS for children, always give
money if you want to make the
little folks doubly happy. For
one thing, no grownup in these
days knows what child wants.
and IN the second place the fun
that children have out of going
shopping with the money gives
them ten times the excitement
and pleasure that any gift could
afford of itself.
| used to wear myself to a
frazzle buying presents for chill

send them the money and they
invariably buy something that l
wouldn't have thought of in a
thousand years, and their moth
ers tell me that they look for
ward to my present more than
to anything else they get.
But if you don't give money,
TOR heavens sake give some
thing practical and useful. In
these days OF the high cost of
living practically everybody has
to economize and do without
things that they need and want.
SO if you are thinking of Civ
ing a woman a present, don't
waste your good money on idiotic
Jimcracks that will do nothing
but clutter up the house and
catch dust. Give her clothes.
Give her furs, or blouses, or
stockings, or shoes, or wells, or |.
belts, or something that has got
some sense and use to it. Moth
ing but the grace of God enables
woman who needs a pair of
new slippers to look grateful for
a hand painted handkerchief case
that some silly friend bestows on
her at Christmas.
And if you are one of the
women who make your own
Christmas presents-and moth
ing else is a sweeter or more
gracious thing to do-don't
throw away your time and your
money constructing a what-do-
you-call-it out of plush and rib
bon and tinsel and satchet pow
der combined with tomato can
Use that same time and money
making your friend a bit of hand
made lingerie-and she will arise
and bless your name every time
she puts it on.
Finally, beloved, remember
this:
If you want a happy Christ
mas and to make others have a
happy Christmas, begin your
preparations in time. Buy sem
sible things. And don't spend
any more than you can afford.

ANXIETY to dig dirt, the usual

mating idea in 1904. So, while
Mr. Wallace kept up the surveying
whieh would aid in determining the
center line Of the canal as well as the
choice OF type, he also pushed exca-
walton operations in the Culebra cut,
rehabilitating old French excayators
and increasing the working force.
he had found TAG men at work with
hand tools in the Culebra cut. His
first inspection convinced him that the
French machinery should be abandon
ed as. fast as modern American equip
ment could be secured and he express
ed the opinion that two years would
be required for preparations.
