/ DO not understand MOIner, dear
Then let me explain. One, on Christ
mas morning must forget the debts one
owes for gifts that were bought, ana
must acquire an expression of pure
delight. One should so fix ones face
that if she expected a sealskin coat and
receives instead, a pair of cotton hose,
not a line in the face will betray any
thing but the most complete joy. Fail
ure, my dear, to look pleased over a
gift when one is not pleased, has
wrecked many a love affair, and
