Its proprietress was a good-hearted woman, but the constant grind had worn her out. As Christmas approached, however, the faded, but faithful old , eyes brightened, for, though poor and humble, her little dbterie were gen erous souls and a special purse was her reward when the Christmas tree gave up Its treasure.

That’s why the wealthy people will have to see the trend and institute a change. “In place of so many mere ‘presents’ we must give such-thlngs as love, cour age, kindness and generous Impulses— things which our present physical and mental strain forbids. Throughout the rest of the year. If any one felt in clined to send a regular gift to a friznd or relative, that could be done very easily and the recipient would know It was a voluntary, not a com pulsory, remembrance.” “It’s a great Idea,” Said the brown- eyed woman’s husband, cheerfully. “A hit of real affection In place of some of the monstrosities now exchanged would be a great Improvement.” “Yon can make fun If yon want to,” she replied, “but when the world wakes np to the real meaning of Christ mas—and the war I believe has helped to wake It np—you’ll see the effect spread over the entire year.
