"a lot of us men who buy 49,
get more credit for generosity than
we deserve. OF course we don't
buy them for ourselves; there is
wife or child-or maybe a sweet
heart-to whom we give them.
"But | notice that we dip into
the box a good bit Perhaps that's
one of the reasons why we find them
the best of all gifts.
After all, ] suppose those who
receive $50 like them all the bet
ter because they do share them
with the giver.
Today, I'm going to get two
pounds Of French caramels and
cream nougats for my niece. They
are her favorite kinds, and I've al
ways had a hankering to try them.
Don't forget my box of pep

self that every man is entitled to
when he buys 4 gift for someone
