THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.

Every year we hear a great deal o.
talk about the Spirit of Christina
From the way people speak of it, on
gains the impression that this little
Christmas elf is above all things hap
Pr; that she is generous. peaceful an
loving. Yet to see a large crowd
Christmas shoppers in the city. on
gets almost any impression except tina
Of happiness and peace, It's seen
OF discomfort and confuMon. Just a.
we are about to be convinced that tn
little Christmas elf has gone to othe
planets, we suddenly see some kindl,
man taking two very poor children or
a shopping tour thru the toy depart
ment. He has captured the little elf
and he has the sign boards of happi
ness clearly displayed on his face. In
fact, he is one of the much talked of
Good Fellows, and IL you are looking
for the Christmas Spirit let him tel
you how to find 1t.
The Spirit of Christmas is essential
ly the spirit of happiness, and you have
real happiness only when you give IL
to others. This is one place where
unselfshness pays in visible returns
because the more happiness you give
others, the greater will be your stock
on hand. And you can give greater
happiness to those who are not on
close terms with it, than you can to
those who see it every day. Therefore
go out into the highways and the by
ways and search for the needy whose
stock of happiness is running low. II
takes so little to bring them such q
great amount Of JOY, and in doing this
you will find the Spirit Of Christmas.
The little elf isn't elusive. She is
fairly crying to everyone in the land
to adopt her. But we are all so alb
sorbed in our own affairs that we often
forget TO give helping hand, We find
the Spirit of Christmas more hospit-
ably received in the child's heart per-
haps, than anywhere else. How we'll
we remember the joyful Christmas
days OF our childhood when we worked
SO hard carrying wood and water for
mother and shoveling snow for father
so we could earn enough to buy them
some Christmas presents with "our
very own money" This is the spirit
that made the long-ago Christmas so
happy. and that same spirit of unset
fishness-the spirit of Christmas-will
bring back to us the old Christmas joy,
II we will open our hearts and let 1t in.

Real hospitality is very unostenta-
beus and always makes the guest
feel perfectly at home in her hostess
house There is nothing more charm
ing than to be quietly and simply en-
tertained. If a hostess can make you
welcome in that generous way OF Civ
ing YOU the complete freedom of the
place, and of your own time, then she
has a gift that will endear her and her
home to all her friends A guest often
finds it very trying to have every lux
ury lavished upon her, and equally
annoying to have too pointed attention
paid to her least Want. While a con-
tlnual program of bustling events
leaves the guest with the sensation of
having seen a circus with too many
rings. and nothing, of particular i'm
portance in any of them. This sort of
hostess not only invites criticism, but
