@ RUTH A oa,szs~ Passing Along ( hristmas Presents

relieved of so much shopping than you did when you first received the gift?
 Of course some people might think an even better way would be to dls- continue a gift exchange that had become burdensome formality, but then some people have such queer ideas.
 Must One Display An In-
 harmonious Gift?
 And now, while l am on the sub- ject of Christmas giving, let me slip in a word on another aspect of this matter. And that is on the noblesse oblige which constrains a recipient to use or display about his home or his person a gift which is not at all in accord with his taste If one pefS son knows another we'll enough to give gift of household furnishings or personal finery, he also knows him well enough to know his taste in such matters. Therefore to give something contrary to that taste is to show a lack of thought or a lack of desire to please. And why should a gift given in that spirit impose a heavy obligation on it's recipient? =
 For instance, if your living room is in brown and someone who has been in that room again and again gIves you purple sofa pillow for the couch, are you to be blamed if you refuse to display it there? It does not seem to me that you are.
 It is all very we'll to argue that there is a noblesse oblige of grat- tude, but l think there is alsoVa noblesse oblige of giving and he who outrages it cannot complain if he does not arouse the noblesse oblige Of gratitude.

Do you believe in passing last years Christmas presents along?
 A letter friend is very anxious that I should answer that question.
 AS usual, I must begin by saying, That depends.
 What do the Christmas presents which you are considering passing along represent?
 Is It a Gift of Love or Obligation:
 Do they stand for an actual eag- erness to give, for love and thought, and an effort to choose something that will particulars please or help you Or do they represent merely the con- ventional performance of what was once a spontaneous act of friendship but has long ago congealed ineo a a rather irksome obligation?
 Of course no one with a sense of gratitude would give away gifts of the first class.
 As for the second kind of gift, well, at the risk of shocking some of my reader friends, l must say l do not see anything so terrible in pass ing that along.
 Little More Than Christmas Cards.
 Few of the people who would be shocked at this idea would think it anything out of the way to pass along a Christmas card. Yet what are such gifts but a greeting slight ly more expensive and pretentious than a Christmas card?
 Some of them have utility, others are just Christmas gifts What harm in thanking the donor, putting them away among your pretties and passiig them along the next year, when you will doubtless experience a deeper thrill of gratitude at being

 Dicky's Utter, Surrender
 I went to my room, and the nerves of my head took a fiendish revenge for the way they had been misused. For hours I suffered, then the pow ders l took lessened the pain, and I rang for Katie. She came, wide-eyed and silent, evidently frightened by the suffering She saw on my face, bring ing the tea for which I had asked. I drank it and went to sleep, not to awaken until nearly night.
 When I did open my eyes they fell on Dicky, seated by the side of my bed, watching me. As my eyes met his he kne1t down and gathered me close to him.
 Little sweetheart" he said broken ly, I've been brute to you. Can you ever forgive me You'I never have to-"
 But I stopped him. I did not want to protest that I never would have to forgive him again, for it was given mo to know in that moment that would have other experiences like this to go through. Above everything, scene.

 Dicky looked at me curiously, tssen threw back his head with a laugh. You are certainly a brick, Madge, he said My own bully little wife, he added tenderly as he kissed me again.

You ] shall have that allowance thing each week if you still feel that your scruples ! compel you to take in washing or lec- | ture at woman's clubs-Id just as soon have you do one as the other for my part-why go ahead"
 He left the room and I looked after him with a sinking of my heart. l should have been elated at winning I from him without a struggle every thing l had been fighting for, but in- 1 stead l was curiously depressed. Dicky had not acceeded to my wishes because he thought they were right, but because he was ashamed of some- thing he had done. I had been fight ing for principles that weree part of . my life. He had tossed me my vic tory as the price of my leniency tow l ard his shortcomings. Was my life 1 always to be compromise like this

They pulled off the wig that curled white

They polied at his eyes, gave his whiskers

MESSAGE OF JOY TO
CATARRH sufferers
Hyomei Guaranteed by w. L. Gokay
to Relieve or Money Refunded.


The popularity and increase in
sales of Hyomei here in Bennington
are unique in the annals of medicine.
Such astonishing successes have
been made by this remarkable rem
edy that the proprietors have autho-
rized w. L. Gokay to sell every pack
age of Hyomei under an absolute
guarantee that it will knock out ca.
tarrh for good. If it does not the pur-
chaser can have his money refunded
by w l.. Gokay.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy,
1t is pronounced the only method of
treatment that sends by direct inhala-
ton to the most remote part of the
air passages, balsamic air that de-
stroys all catarrhal germs in the
breathing organs, enriches and puri-
iies the blood with additional ozone,
and gives permanent and complete re
lief from catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit is mex
pensiye and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest peck
ct, medicine dropper and a bottle
OF Hyomei The inhaler lasts a life
time and if one bottle does not cure,
an extra bottle can be obtained for
a trifling sum. 1t is more economi-
cal than any. remedy advertised for
the cure of catarrh and is the only
treatment known to us that follows
nature in her methods OF treating di-
ssases of the respiratory organs

Varietiea Of Wrens.

There are many varieties of wrens,
more than $50 species in both hemi-
spheres, and they are grouped under
the general term 'troglodytes." which
is Greek, meaning zone that creeps
into holes"
The common wren Of Europe. which
Is very like our best known wren. has
many pet names. The French have
given it more than a hundred endear-
ing names. and Germany, Italy and
other countries have done nearly as
well. In the folklore of those coun-
tries the wren is credited with being
a transformed fairy and with an
amount of wisdom far greater than its
size would indicate.

The Charm Of Christmas.

There is something in the very sea-
son of the year that gives charm to
the festivity of Christmas. In the depth
of winter, when Nature lies despoiled
of her charms, wrapped in her shroud
of sheeted snow. we turn for our graft
fications to moral sources. Heart
calleth to heart, and we draw our
pleasures from the deep wells of living
kindness which lie in the quiet recesses
of our bosoms. Washington Irving.
