Differ on Christ's Birthday
THE early Chrlstmns were di

these celebrated It on the first

observed September 29 nnd still

Roses at Christmas.

T.y the time that the salad course
arrives at the Christmas dinner all
that surround the festive board are
apt to be warm. It will be refreshing
to see the salad come to the table in

ON'T put off mailing that ;

Don't neglect to tie It j
properly. It Is handled at !
least five times before It reaches Its i
destination. i
Don't forget to write your own re- !
turn address on all parcel post matter.
Don't guess at' the postage and give
your friends the pleasure of paying
postage due."
Don't plaster Bed Cross stamps on
the face of packages or letters; take
care not to "seal" parcel post packages
with them. It raises the rate.
Don't forget that a little thoughtful
ness1 on your part can help to make
Chrlstmns happier for Uncle Sam's
men, his horses and bis automobiles.
Do mall early, preferably before De
cember 20th, writing on your pack
ages: "Not to be opened until Chrlstmns."
Do your best to use the post offices
In the forenoon, the earlier the better.
Do write legibly, both the address
to which you are sending the gift and
your own return address.
Do be courteous and "Christmassy"
to the post office men who serve yon.
They are handling thousands of pieces
of mall matter.
Do be brief at the counter. Ton
keep someone else wailing if you are
loaded like an express truck, with
packages and foolish questions.
THINGS THE BOYS LONG FOR
Youngsters Prefer Toys or Contriv-
ances to Test Their Muscular Skill
or Endurance.
lit HAT shall be said of that blun
Yt derlng kindness of home folk
thnt considers giving the boy only
presents of such things as he actu
ally needs? IU is an outrage upon
the spirit of Christmas to present him
with iipw shoes, ties, handkerchiefs
something that he knows he will get
anyway when his sleeping and wak
ing dreams for weeks before have been
filled with visions of tops, balls, guns
nnd magic lanterns, says Maud Sou
lier's In the Woman's Home Compan
ion. The most beautiful knitted muf
fler woman's fingers ever constructed
cannot compare' with a Jack-knife with
four blades and a cork-screw attach-
cnt, when exhibited over the bnck
fence to a neighbor boy on Christmas
morning. Very soon after the days
of kilts a boy reaches the age when
he yearns with his whole soul after
any toy or contrivance that will test
his muscular skill or endurance. At
this age an appropriate present would
be a rawhide or rope lnrlat, such as
Is used by the Buffnlo Bill riders. A
pnlr of hand or arm stilts will be re
ceived with equal favor, and In the
same category comes a new fishing
rod, snow shoes'; tennis racket, golf
clubs, a good ball, lump or cyclometer
fur his Tvheol, or even a live pet, a
new dog, a pair of rabbits or guinea
pigs something that he can "pet and
train for his own.
Funny Christmas Habit.
There is not a drug store, cigar shop
or barroom In the larger cities which
has not been made the storage room
for Christmas presents bought before
the rush sets In. The strange part of
It Is that every man who utilizes the
friendship of his favorite place round
the coiner thinks he Is the only one
who thought of the plan. Itcallzlng
that the stores will be crowded, many
far-sighted bonds of families bought
their presents a week in advance, and
then, fearing the unturc of the myste
rious package would be discovered nt
the office or nt borne, they hit upon tile
device of making a cache In some re
sort nenr home.

Plants for Christmas.
Other things being equal, it Is bet

to travel afar. Do not bo tempted,

away, for counting car fares, packing.
