One Fillmore street woman holds
the high honors for thrift. She has
her Christmas presents all wrapped
and tied. And these presents are not
a few hastily made purchases, but
most of them are hand made. Many
are china. decorated in original de-
signs. She sat out in the porch swing
few days ago, when the thermometer
beside her was playing around the 102
mark, and was the envy of all her
neighbors as she carefully enclosed a
Christmas card, also original in de-
sign. and tied each dainty package
with holly ribbon. Perhaps she was
not so cool but she was much more
composed than the large number of
people who will be finishing their
Merry Christmases.'' on the night
before Christmas. when it is the clock
instead of the thermometer which
stands at 1902.
