Z. Don't leave the cost mark on pres

Don't let Christmas giving deterio-

Don't let money dominate your
Christmas giving.
Don't embarrass yourself by giving

Don't expect to receive as much az

appointment.
Don't acquire your Yuletide before
the fun of Christmas actually begins.
No Christmas is fulfilled when the cell
ebrant is filed full.
Don't be the first to tell child there
is no Santa Claus. If you have to lie
about it lie. and lie as attractively az
your education will permit.
Don't eat your Christmas dinner in q
restaurant If you can find any old homs
that you may eat it in, for Christ
mas dinner In home is worth two In
the bush.
Don't let your Christmas go by with
out giving some sort of present to q
child. The excuse that you know no
children will not suffice. You can know
plenty of them between now and the
day Of days.
Don't decide to abstain from giving
just because you cannot afford expen-

your gift, the interest you take In
those to whom you give. are the prip-
cipal things. The intrinsic value Of
your gift counts very little.
