Acknowledging Christmas oifta.

Courtesy demands that Christmas

growing tendency. particularly on the
part Of the young people. to put on

gitts and Of invitations. until the hm-
tn Of good breeding are exhausted,
and IT ID largely the tolerance OF the
parents which allows such q state OF
things to exist
Mothers hate 20 nag. especially IN
vacation time; but. since the notes
must be written sooner or later, they
might lust as well be composed at
once. and the day after Christmas IL
an excellent time for the purpose

who have endeavOred 20 add 20 the

though they may not have made q
happy selection, would feel much more
as though their gifts were appreciated
II a prompt acknowledgment were re
eeived The point h lost If a tardy
note OF thanks is received somewhere
after the first week in January.
Mothers are blamed by outsiders for
many things for which they are not
really at fault but beyond q doubt
the habit Of prompt replies to core
spondence Of any sort should be In
cuIcated In early childhood or IT will
never become a habit, and unless II

never corrected The mother must
make herself responsible for prompt
replies until the children reply with
