Christmas Is Still
a Religious
Holiday

Christmas holds q unique place az,
a yearly celebration. The observance
Of other holidays has changed, but
Christmas has yielded none Of Its ort-
gnal sacredness. 1t is now, as,at first,
essentially religious day. It's reality
voices a song Of fraternity people
grow at this season more generous,
more indulgent, more human. It is
evangelistic for the destruction Of
malice and ill-will-differences be-
tween one and another are forgotten.
Year by year Christmas deyitalizes
selfishness, and consequently the day
Is a powerful factor for good. Great
characters step from the spiritualized
atmosphere; majestic deeds Of charity
leave their blessing and example ev-
erywhere. Yuletide is not merely a,
period Of gift bestowal or solely time
Of thoughtfulness. Its significance Is
more profound. Feeling Is immersed
in kindness. Conduct Is adapted to
what Is highest and best.
The first plain Christmas, Of which
that Of today is a sublime issue, digni-
fed sacrifice. The Good Book says:
"And there were shepherds watching,
and keeping the night watches over
their focks." A manifestation Of per-
sonal sacrifice. Those who would be
rich must give. The gift need not be
monetary. Giving is without limita-'
tion-if a singer, give to others glad
song; If q millionaire In experience,
give freely of advice; If table Of
plenty, share the repast with those
who are not only physically hungry,
but thirsty for sympathy; II invested
with geniality, become a prince giver
Of laughter, Of service, Of encourage
ment. Be constructive. Followers Of
this doctrine draw from the season q I
rich return in happiness.

HINTS FOR BELATED GIFTS
Bags and Aprons Are Easily and
Quickly Made and They Are Al.
} ways Acceptable.

For many weeks before Christmas
the household Is busy with needle,
crochet hook and tatting shuttle, fash
ioning Christmas gifts for family and
friends. But, there always are some
belated gifts, that must be made dur
ing the last few days, for friends that
we would like to remember.
In such cases there is nothing more
quickly or easily made than bags and
aprons, and one never can have too
many of either. Laundry bags, stock
ing bags, darning bags, piece bags and
bags for soiled handkerchiefs can be
made Of chintz or cretonne, and fancy
work bags, purse bags, and handker-
chief bags may be made Of silk and
ribbon. Several Of these bags can cas-
lily be made in an evening, and they
are always acceptable gifts.
And aprons-no woman ever had
too many aprons. A few yards Of ging-
ham, percale and butchers linen made
up into aprons, which would not re-
quire more than a day to make good
supply, would 60 long ways as gifts
to busy house mothers. And caps, also.
At this time almost every woman
wears some sort Of cap when doing
her house work, and a neat, washable
cap makes an acceptable gift, and re-
uuires little skill in the making. And
so with these practical and quickly
made gifts one may be able to catch up
with Christmas remembrances, even
though belated until the last few days
before Christmas.
