Happiness does not otne in receiving, but In giving. If you are blue, down cast
and think no one cares forf you, buy a few small presents for children cr friends and see
how light your heart will become and how bright the world will have grown and how easy'
it is to drive away life's cares. Of course the selection of these presents is of great
moment to every person. To get the rignt present for John or Mary, one they will appre
ciate and one you can afford, Is the greatest problem before you. y -
