 It's so easy to go to the shops and put an obligation by, by getting some- body something or maybe we expend great deal of energy and eyesight and money on some foolish, useless gift or maybe we rummage for the things we didn't care for last year and send them to somebody else this sea give anything at all "Times are too hard."' M
 And maybe after all the last thought Is best "the gift without the giver" is not worth much, no matter when it's given. And why just wait for Christmas? There are a great many gifts you may give now, and these gifts may cost you nothing at all but a little time and some unselfishness
 Teach some child that has not been able to go to school or some illiterate adult visit the sick at the hospital, give part of your winter stock of pre- serves and jellies to some institution, make scrapbooks for sick children, read to the blind. Don't grumble at home because you can't have a new suit this winter, help the school teach CT by making your own small boy obedient to you, send an extra lunch for some child at school not so well provided for; there are thousand and one ways to do things if you only have the desire and stop to think about it, and in return for these small services if you want any return, you may have a gift like Miss Sohphies that you will treasure above jewels and honors, just because 1t was prompted by love and given with a desire to please.'
