THE GIFT CUSTOM.

Some years ago we used to hear
very much about the uses of the
Christmas gift custom. The tendency
to swap gifts as a mere trade, was
much ridiculed. 1t seemed to many as
if a great deal of money was being
wasted on gifts in which people took
no hart, and that a great deal of labor
and effort was being caused with mad
equate results.
AS time has gone on, some abuses
of this custom have seemed to disap-
pear a little. People do not make
these gifts so much now unless they
really want to. Probably nine out of
ten of the gifts represent a real de-
sire to confer happiness. Anything
that springs from such fine impulse
must do good in the world. 1t makes
US realize how much our friends think
of US and it helps us to show how
much we think of them.
On 1874 days in the year people hus-
tie for themselves and spend money
mostly for their own comfort and en-
joyment. 1t is we'll that one day is
consecrated to giving, and that people
have learned to deny themselves some
things that they want in order to man
ifest their affection to someone else.
The people of this community can
well be reminded at this time that
their home stores have a superb as
sortment of all sorts of gifts. People
should not neglect making these pur-
chases one single day longer than nee
essary, but should get them at once
and get them off to their destinations.
The local stores have kept up to
date with the latest thought on the
observance of this custom. Noting the
tendency to give substantial presents
of real value, they specialize on any
thing that will be of real and perma-
nent use But they have not forgot
ten the children's side of the day. They
display most wonderful selection of
toys calculated to make young Amer
ica's eyes pop open very wide and
conclude that there really is a Santa
Claus.
