WHAT! NO CHRISTMAS?
First Word of Objection to Plan of
AboIishing Holiday Gifts.

with regard to the campaign which
has been suggested to discourage
Christmas gifts 1 do not believe that
L can be called unpatriotic If I ex-
press myself in opposition to this prop
osition," Charles L. Mitchell of Topeka
stated today. ITO discourage Christ
mas gifts is to abolish Christmas, and
do not believe you can any more
abolish Christmas than you can abolish
Sunday or the Ten Commandments.
Christmas is the one season of the
year when people of the whole world
and strike a balance between their
season when the blessings of life loom
largest, and those who can find good
cheer for themselves wish everyone
else to share it, when the well fed
think of the hungry, strong hands are
extended to the weak, the happy SYM
pathize with the afflicted season of
hearty good will to man.
at is indeed the season of sincere
good wishes, and a generous desire on
everyone's part to make someone else
happy.
This universal good feeling per-
vades the air. 1t is the spirit of Christ

they call it "left-off clothing" and
they are thinking rather more about
making the most of that commodity
there than here, because they have
been in the war longer and are feel
ing the strain of war waging more
keenly than we. But we, too, should
think of making the best use of it,
thus anticipating a period. sure to
come, when there is greater need here
tran now.
Once, you know, it all went either
to poor relations or to ones house
hold servants. There was always some
cousin in the country or in some out
of-theway town. with a large family
and q figure like your own or near
enough SO that she could make your
old things do very nicely. And some
how you took kind of comfort in
thinking that she would work her
cleaning them and pressing them and
fixing them up for best. Maids were
glad to get cast-off finery too, and it
was not unknown for women in some
parts of the country to pay women
by-the-day not in currency, but in
some desirable piece of discarded
clothing. In fact, in the South young
women who work by the day have
been known to begin negotiations for
certain gowns or suits they admired
long before they were worn out IN
work three days for you, when that is
old, If you'll let me have it." has been
the suggestion. And so the new gown
goes thru its first season mortgaged
from the beginning.
! Now things have changed a little.
Maids and women-by-the-day have
gone into munition or other warwork,
and mayhap they are paying more
than we are for the clothes they wear.
AT any rate, our discards no longer
allure them. And in the general in
dustrial and social upheaval it may be
I country iG fer
than before and needs not of our con-
| tributions.
In Germany, you know, they go
| about the utilization of old clothes in
| a very systematic way. All discarded
| things are taken to local centers,
where, under expert management, they
are renewed ind rejuvenated and then
sold over again for a small price. As
| they are entirely disinfected and steri-
liked and transformed in appearance
| thru the skill of the workwomen en-
ployed in these workrooms, there is no
| stigma attached to wearing these re-
| juvenated things.
( done to stimulate an interest in the
work of restoring old clothes. In
some of the domestic science colleges
| special emergency war courses have
| been given in this work, including a
| scientific treatment of the work OF
cleaning and dyeing. In the old days
! the products of these work classes
| were sent to the women of Belgium
| Some may still go to the women OF
the devasted zones in France. But as
the autumn comes and brings cooler
| weather and more of the gloomy re-
| suits of war, we shall probably nave
full need of these things in our owl
land. But whatever you do with your
old clothes, remember there is need
for them somewhere.
