illil Mr. Glenfaddle started out about two weeks before Christmas to solve j the cervant problem. "The trouble with women," he said to h:s wife, "is that they don't go at : *?/? fKin o riohf This trouhle will ' UiC uitug never be settled until It is settled by diplomacy, and diplomacy is a thing that, 1 am sorry to say. doesn't come natural to women. Servant girls are only human?that's a thing which is too often forgotten. Treat your girls kindly and they will stand by you. That 's the rule I go by in my busi- j ness affairs. What kind of a time do you suppose I would have with the men in my office if I tried to manage then: as a woman manages the help in her kitchen? Why, I'd always have to keep breaking in new people. "Now let me give ybu a few point* ers. Get something nice for the girl on Christmas?something that you would be glad to have yourself. Most women give their servants a few cheap trinkets that serve no other purpose than to show the girls that they are put away down in the social scale. 'Instead of getting her a ten-cent comb or a new contrivance to scrape the crumbs off the dining-room table, 1 buy her a nice present this year. Give her something she will be proud to ahow to her friends. Thep. you see, they will get to envying her and comparl lg their own cheap presents with wha' she got from us. and what'll be ' Emma Has Given Me Notice." the result? Shell conclude that thii la a pretty good place to work; she'll wee that we give her credit for po? iaesrlng good taste, and we win have 'no more l ouble over the servant problem for while anyway." Mrs. Glenfaddle decided to take hei 'husband's advice for onoe. If the solemn truth must be told, she has nevei become addicted to the habit of doing this. But there seemed to be a few gleams of reason in his argument and accordingly she decided to makt her Emma thrice glad on Christmai morning. The girl had been very pa tort and faithful fnr nnitp a whili anyway, and it was no more that right that merit should be rewarded. Among the things in the box whicl Emma found on the kitchen tablt when she went down to get breakfast on .he morning of the great day wen cloth for a fine new dress, a toilet set for her bureau, a glove box with a pair of gloves in It, and a purse madt of seal leather. The next day when Mr. Glenfaddli jX>t home his wife said: "Oh, by the way, Arthur, I wiai you d put an ad. in the paper tomor row. Emma has given me notice thai she will leave us a week from Thure 4ay. She has found a place when she can get 25 cents a week more thai -we are paying her." i Lest They rorpet.

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 . I A good thing a boot some Christmas presents is that they don't last more than a day or two. People who put off buying things they reaUy need until after Christmas hardly ever find them in their stockings. Some people don't permit their children to believe in Santa Claus because they selfishly want all the credit themselves. If Santa Claus were a woman Christmas would always have to be postponed for a few days while she administered the finishing touches. j Lucky Givers. With happy hearts some people give And never mind the price; They know the gifts they will receive Are sure to be as nice. A Warning to Liars. "What was the happiest moment of your life, dear?" she asked. "It was when you said yes, darling," he replied. She sighed and permitted her cbeel to rest against his breast for a long ^ time. Then she said: "Harry, do you remember that diamond ring we looked at in Blaaem's? I was there yesterday and they bad It still. What a splendid Christmas present it would make." After he had reached the next room he whispered to himself: "That's always the way.
