TO sWEETEN THE GIFT.

from he Minneapolis .Jc

From the Minneapolis Journal.
A suitable message to send with a
Christmas present often worries the send
er. The timeworn phrases, wishing you
a Merry Christmas FROM ETC., lack indi-
viduality and effectiveness. Yet a clever
quotation enhances a gift. An appropriate
card to send with books might contain
this from Stevenson:
This little paper traveller goes forth to
your door charged with tender greetings.
Pray you take him in. He comes from a
house where you are well beloved.
Or n may fancy these lines from Ten
nyson:
I thought to myself I would offer this
book to you. This and my love together.
Those who make their own gifts could
use the following:
Alone I did it.-Shakespeare.
That sansuine inexperience loves to
make.-Cowper.
With a gift to a husband and wife
might go:
The gift doth stretch itself as tits re-
ceived. and is enough for bo%th.-Shakes-
peare.
With jewelry:
Dumb Jewels often in their silent kline
More quick than words do move a wom-
ans mind. Shakespeare.
This ring, o my beloved fair,
For me on your slim finger wear,
AS a perpetual caress,
To tell you of my tenderness.
Adapted, from Stevenson.
With any kind CT gift:
Consider not the gift of the lover, but
the lover of the gift.-Thomas a Kenpis.
Wear this for me-one out of suits with
fortune,
That could give more. but that her hand
lacks means. shakespeare.
I send with deep regards Of heart and
head,
Sweet matd, for friendship formed, this
gift TO thee, Shakespeare.
Good wishes go with this,
And love, packed in a kiss
Baldwin.
I send thee here a membrane of all
That my heart to thy heart doth recall.
