The children are thinking about Santa Clans stuffed stockings and tries laden .yitil toys and candy, while theii ders are seeing-visions of elab " leasts, social gatherings fgs and so on.

Apropos of Christinas obseri L a I\ '?I i i vjmuw, me weteiiiufr numoer 01 the Ladies1 Home .Journal eontains some very excellent articles on the Buhject. We have been particularly impressed with ) what the editor lias to sa the marked and widespr< generation in. the tnai Christmas observance ?t] ical departure from the scope and purpose of tl bration of the day. It that the Journal, a few ago, offered ''generous for a solution of the CI ( observance problem, but > itor says that "there wjn ) single practical solution the hundreds received " gests as the best thing tc ; the circumstances, is to ' our celebration of the da . children : the teaching [ true meaning of the di f Christmas tree: the 1 the goodiet: and, mo 1 portant of all, confine J 1 ents to children." Tin f goes on to say that it w "eminently right,historic otherwise," to eliminate - the giving or receiving [ ents by elders.
