using an old expression to emphasize

Probably we are all more or less
guilty Of some foolish extravaganza in
our Christmas expenditures, but If it
has lifted us out Of our habitual sell
fishness, even for little while, per-
haps the extravaganza is justified.
That's the beautiful thing about the
Christmas season--it compels US to
give some thought to the happiness
and pleasure of others, and that alone
is worth to US what it costs us. And
If we are unduly liberal-a trifling
reckless. perhaps-in our expendi-
lures, that is but in keeping with the
spirit of the times. It is a far cry
from the revelry Of giving that ushers
In Christmas, 1918, to the simple and
comparatively frugal practices that
marked the Christmas season even
less than a half century ago. An ap-
pie and an orange, or perhaps sin
gle toy of what would now be regard
ed as OF the crudest character. was

sufficient to delight the average child.
We shudder to think what would hap
pen In the great American home IL a
layout like that were presented to
the young person of the family as his
or her Christmas portion today. Those
times will never return. and 1t prob
ably is just as well that they do not
return. II we have sacrificed some-
thing of simplicity In life, it has beer
due to the steady march of progress,
continually broadening our outlook,
creating new desires, and rendering
inadequate the things that sufficed in
the old days. We do not know what
all this will eliminate in, but we fear
that pater familias of the future will
have "a bad day Nowadays we can
compromise with the successor to the
kid that was once happy with an or,
