E %SER Many a woman is known by the Christmas presents she takes (hack to be exchanged. If there is a Christmas season in heaven the department store clerk will hardly want to go there. The. woman who looks for the price mark on her present generally gets mad if she finds it. A good thing about some Christmas presents is that they don't last more than a day or two. People who put off buying things they really need until after Christmas hardly ever find them in their stock ings. Some people Aon't permit their chil dren to believe in Santa Claus be cause they selfishly want all the cred it themselves. If Santa Claus were a woman Christmas would always have to be postponed for & few days while she administered the finishing touches. ?
