“I’ve always wondered why women
attempt so much."
"Because everybody does. And If
one poor, lone, sensible woman sits
down and flatly refuses to kill herself
working for Christmas, her family and
friends will think she is a quitte

“Well,” suggested her husband, “why

“You don’t understand,” said the
woman with the brown eyes; “as long

strain to do likewise. 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.”
