DECEMBER.

December is that month of the
year when some invisible agency gets
busy and fills our ers.while dwarfed
spirits with feeling Of friendliness
and good cheer. We write letters
to relatives and friends whom We
have not thought of since last De-
|cember; incorrigible children become
cherubims and seraphims; catty
wives become kittens-and dad, as
usual, remains the goat.
December means giving for every
one living, when all of us try with
out too much deceit to make shop
ping rambles not wholly mere gam
bles, yet keeping in mind our expect
ed receipts. A dollar for bro .her,
two more for dear mOther-My gra-
cious! that's three have already
spent. But still, Auntie Mable,
who's certainly able, will surely re-
member me to that extent. And
|now--Mr. Blicken: / reckon a stick
pin will answer and still not cost any
|great sum. Then too, if he's mean
ing to keep me dreaming it's time
he was using a part of his mon. 1t
really is trying, this annual gift buy
ing, for you will agree as I firmly
believe, that while it's pleasure to
give, in a measure it's fully as pleas
|urable, too, to receive.
Speaking of receipts reminds us
that we have quite number of them
on hand that should be distributed
among our readers before January
1st. These cost but $3.50 postpaid
to anyone, anywhere, while small in
size, they have proved wonderfully
valuable to every family that Owls
one. They are guaranteed for an
entire year and will bring more en-
joyment into your home than any
thing you can buy for a similar sum.
Order yours Immediately.
