Simple, Little Embellishments Such as
Ribbons, Seals and Holly Count
for Much.

At no time does the manner Of do
ing thing count for so much as at
the time OF Christmas giving; and
while in a few instances there are
those who overdo the outward embel.
lishment of gifts, none of us now like
brapce unless wrapped in spotless pa.
per. tied with gay ribbons and adorned
with bright seals expressing merry
greetings.
And this is as it should be for the
holiday season gains a great deal OF
cheeriness and zest from the multi.
plicity OF beribboned white parcels
whisking to and fro, and we do not re
greet the passing OF the yellow paper
bundle Of our grandmother's day.
But the attractive appearance OF the
gift is not all that counts; we must be
careful OF the how and when and
where Of presenting it.
The time that custom more and
more sets apart for the exchanging of
gifts among friends is Christmas eve.
any time from dusk to midnight; but
Christmas day itself is sacred to pre-
senting gifts within the family circle
Some families put all the gifts in
the library or living room, in separate
piles, and then, after a deliberate
breakfast, they all walk in and open
the packages in the presence of each
other.
Never give Q gift in person II you
can contrtve to send 1t or put it where
1t will be found awaiting the recipient
when he or she is alone, for when re-
ceived in this way the gift makes its
strongest appeal to ones appreciation.
In giving money, even to near rela-
tives. the utmost care should be taken
to give 1t In the most delicate way
possible; especially II you know the
money IL needed.
One Of the cleverest ways is to take
a tiny japanese umbrella, place the
money in paper bag and. after roll.
Ing and tying the bag around the up.

Representative Glass was very

there was. therefore, no pressing
emergency for rural credits lcsisla-

by President Wilson. Their opinion

vicious project which was put forth

Il would not be surprising il the
Glass investigating committee should
in consequence of its inquiry find
that the question OF rural credits was
not so much a Federal as State
problem. Reasons may appear for
making the provisions of the Federal

Low WAGES. DOwNFALL An UpMFT.

A NERICAN Industries is the official organ OF the
n National Association of Manufacturers. In its
current number II publishes editorial in which it
docrios the on-ropoated assertion of social welfare
workers that low wages the downfall of many
girl employees in department stores in the large cities.
II says:
"Tho department store girl has been eNoneraed of
all charges of vice and immortality which have been
made against her by morbid upliftors during the past
few years. The New York City Committee of Fourteen
has just made public report based exhaustive
investigation which declares that the charge that II
was a common practice for women employees to exc out
insufficient wages by vice, and that they
aged to do by employers-were found to be base
less
"The findings Of the report must have been
OF great satisfaction to the magned employees of de-
partment stores, many of whom unconscious OF
the effort to upft them by slanderng their characters
but whose moral environment could not have been
greatly improved by the widespread advertising Of the
uplfers' version of their immortality.
'When the crusade against vice was at its height the
female workers in department selected in
iudiciously by those who delight in sad facts and
revoltng conditions ft victims OF their propaganda
OF the object the crusade not to iniure
the workers in the stores The magning their char
acters unfortunate but unavoidable incident to
campaign to discredit employers.
I'VE wonder how much publicity will be given the
truth in comparison to that given to the false. and
whether the eNOneraton of the Committee of Four
teen will dispe the utterly false impression of the
moral character of those who work in stores
which has been spread broadcast in the name OF re-
form"
We wonder if there is not tonable middle ground
between the assertions of the social welfare workers.
the New York City Committee of Fourteen and the
editorial assertions of American Industries? AS rule
II is not safe to accept extreme views any side OF
any question There is ample evidence record in
other investigations show that there no fast rule
by which the motives OF errng girls may be measured
and that while many poorly paid girls have erred,
many others who had such excuse have erred too.
not only in department stores. but also elsewhere.
