G^ft givinj: at Christmas time is a
custom hoary with age and one that
has been sanctified by the fact that
the strong provide for the weajc, the
well for the sick, and the great for
the small. The wise men who had fol
lowed the bright star of the East
came 'to Bethlehen on the first Christ
mas night with gifts of gold and
fraidcincense and myrrh. After the
story of the Christ hae been trans
mitted to the Teutonic people, the cus
tom of giving gifts on what was sup
posed to be his natal night was thor
oughly established. In Holland, Saint
Nicholas was established as the spec

brief period of ecstasy engenders as

that may result in enough of spirit

trend for life.
Since this is all true, the opportu
nity of helping Kris Kringle to fill
lank stockings is one that no construc
tive minded person should let slip.

mercial investment.' Many who were
once rich in gold are now extremely
