came back, and sat down in front OF
his wife.
MY dear girl he said, Il am glad
that you have brought this up, because
we may as well settle it now as at any
other time. You know that for years
we have been doing this sort of thing
every Christmas. About this time we
both declare that we won't give each
other anything; then, just before
Christmas, we sneak out, and each OF
us buys the other a present. This year
it will be the anne. We will promise
faithfully not to do it; but, just as sure
as fate, we shall break our word"
In view OF this alarming fact, that
we are apparently the slaves Of 2
yearly habit, what have you to sug-
gest?"
Simply this-that we each of US
agree now to buy the other a present"
Il know that you will get me some
thing | don't want"
And l know that you will do the
same: but isn't that what we have
been doing all along?"
Then / don't see that we have
gained anything"
Haven't we2 Why not? Aren't we
doing 1t openly? Think of the moral
uplift!"
Mrs. Whittier shook her head.
Il don't agree with yOu," she said.
II think it would be much better for
US to select ourselves the presents we
want. If you like. you can come with
me while l get nine"
NONSENSE! That won't do at all. 1t
is absolutely necessary for US to carry
out the element Of surprise. There is
some sneaking. ,emptible trait in
human nature which makes us want,
once a year, to surprise others. That
is at the basis of all Christmas giving.
It's q kind Of impulsive. irresponsible
attitude which impels us to buy some
thing that we delude ourselves into
believing the recipient is crazy for;
while all the time we ought to know
that it's probably the last thing on
earth he or she wants. Would you rob
US both Of this iiendish pleasure?
Never! The only thing to do is to be
natural. | therefore announce to you

when the Whittlers were accustomed
to spring" their annual surprises-

usually preceded the presentation Of

Mrs. Whittier burst into tears.

said. 1T was an afterthought-"

But soon they took her away. She
was SO tired that she fell asleep right
after they put her back in bed. She
dreamed that she saw a flock Of sheep
with their shepherds on q great plain.
Suddenly there was a great light from
above and she seemed to hear angels
singing.
She awoke. The singing did not
stop. She arose and opened the win
dow.
There. in the moonlight under her
window stood her Choir Brothers with
lighted candles, like the Christmas
carol singers Of Old England. They
were singing this hymn:
"Hark!- the Herald Angels sing"
When the verse was finished the
Choir Sister leaned out and called
down to them:
Brothers. you have made me love
God q whole lot ore A merry
Christmas to you ALL"
And to you!" they echoed.
