There is too milch that is (onven- tional and artificial, perhaps. In our Christmas giving. We burden our selves with obligations which we should never assume. \W give too often because we feel that we should do so, because we wonder what people will say if we do not, because we hope ►o receive something in return. We •eep up the practice because we Whv« lot the courage or the diplomacy to break it, and we put little thought or oersonallty into it.* “JMease. do not send me anything at CHRfSTMAS GIFTS THAT ARE WELCOME 1 A S THB holidays are a time when most of us would like to make one dollar do th«f work of five, any suggestion should he wetcomef which allows how thoughtfulness can make a cheap gift acceptable. There fore I gjve a few such Instances from my own experience: I know a housewife who Is famous for her lemon jumbles, and another ..vliose mince pies Ul^ll toothsome de light. These two women remember their friends each Christmas, with their specialties, and, I assure you, no present is received more gratefully than is theirs. Still another, who makes orange marmalade by a won derful secret recipe, gives a glass of this confection to her favored circle. Knt—a word of warning: Be abso lutely sure that such an offering la really and truly desired. For example, I remember one woman, on a strict diet, to whom all sweets are forbidden, whose careless acquaintances are con stantly sending imxes of candy, and one whom strawberries sicken and who, last year, received a glass of wild strawberry Jam, delicious to alt those who could eat it, but, It hap- mL r ■ tfihe," a ffledduAvroie .me, «riiKrfoker-4ft^--th^rtwult It Has Been Done, So Scores of Cl!n< ton Citizens Say.

JEANS DO? ‘for by so doing you would embarrass me -and put me under obligations which I can 111 afford to meet.” I$ v was a sensible letter which few would have had the courage to write. It is not what we give that really •ounts, but the spirit In which the riving is done. The friendly, personal 'etter, the trifle which we have our- elves made, even the card which we tick up at the hook store, often brings more joy\than the costliest present chosen without leve or thought Christmas is a time of kindly thoughts, of forgiveness, of charity, and of good will .to all men. There is no other day on the calendar on which it would be so dreary to be away from home as Christmas day. The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of self-sacrifice and of love. The Wise Men bringing gifts to the Christ child came a long way over a rough and weary road full of dangers and full of discomforts',, but the gifts they brought were gifts of sacrifice and unselfishness and of love, and the Impulse to bring them came from the heart. They are the wise meq to'hiy who can give thankfully, grateful.y, lovingly, with Joy in their hearts and without thought of what they are to receive.—Thomas A. Clark, Dean of Men, University of Illinois. (©. 1914, Western Newspaper Union.) STATE of South Carolina, COUNTY of Laurens, TOWN of Clinton.

How much they helped in the way of making the room cheery and decorated for Christmas. Each one did its part to add. Yet many of those cards had almost never come! So many of the senders had said— “Oh, I don’t believe I’ll send them a card this Christmas. We never see them any more.” But then they added— •'Still they are friends and it would b ? nice to send them a Cl:ristmas»wish.” So all the cards had come. And not one of them was In the way.

From every window candles and lighted Christmas trees sent their shining rays out into the darkness, symbols of the “Light of the World,”' who was x to be born again nexf morning. Every where the dfairit of the season made itself felt and men and women thrilled with the message of love and peace and good will. Everybody seemed to he working feverishly to make happiness for others, most of all to make the little ones happy, for was not He that wgs coffiing on the morrow even as one of them? In every heart there was added tender* ness and love; In every home there was cheer and goodwill.

A shut-in once expatiated to me upon the solid help afforded her by a Christmas present of a “utility bas ket.” It heldvall the .odds and ends she was forever wanting, and could not readily procure for herself—pins, needles, tape, balls and sockets,' threads and silks and cottons. “Every time I peep into It,” she-.cried, as happy as a child, “I find something new that I need.” It was not an ex pensive offering, and yet it was one of the most acceptable I ever heard of. Akin to it was t( little silk sewing-hag, also rapturously received because thfl maker had informed herself of what the recipient’s wardrobe would be that winter, and placed inside, with thimble and needle-case, spools of colored silks matching each gannent to. be worn Jhat winter. Here again the thought fulness—not the gift itself—Is -what counts. A case of threaded needles Is most acceptable to all women beyond middle age whose eyes are beginning to fail, and invaluable to a traveler. Other discriminating presents are packets of choice seeds, saved during the summer, and sent to an amateur gardener at Christmas time. A manu script book (typewritten, if possible) of tested recipes, complied by the sender, is another always welcome offering. . And what pleasure, sentimental, ret rospective and anticipatory, was theirs, sojourners in a far western home, who. Just before the holidays, opened a box from mother and sisters “back home” in the East, containing a plurfi pudding and a fruit cake, made by the weli-rerntTAhered recipe and, on Christmas day, to be enjoyed with iBASt affectionate thoughts of those who, thousands of miles away, had helped to cook the gala-time dinner.— May Wilson.
