We are ready and waiting to be bought.
But if you wait too long some one else
will get us, because we are really

Chrlstmii Air Year.
A. spirit of generosity pervades the
Yuletide atmosphere. It is known and
practiced at no other seasun of the
year as at Christmas. It Is felt in
every city, In every town, in every
village, in the entire country.
People are prone to be more thought-
ful. Men manifest desires to spread
good 'cheer; women weave little acts
of love, kindness and devotion into
Christmas good will; children cherish
their companions and fortunes. Per-
sons unconsciously instill into each
other a desire to distribute happiness
everywhere. It all comes on the
wings of that indefinable thing under-
stood by few, but referred to by many
ns the Christmas spirit, It Is Invisible,
but can be seen; it Is not material, but
can be. felt. It comes every Christ-
mas, but too often leaves to return
perhaps nest year, when the real half-
day`spil'It'agatn is felt.
Why does this fellowship of love
and good will depart from the souls of
so many persons on the wings of tame?
Why does notthe same spirit remain
in the atmosphere after 'nen again as-
sume their routine of work and wo-
men become normal after their Chrfst-
mus cares and worries?
Would it not he a good thing 11 this
same Christmas spirit could continue
throughout the twelve mouths or the
year? lvuuld it not be a goon thing
for mankind if all stopped to thilclt of
others as they do during the Yuletide
season, if all 'endenvorcl to tilt the

a trial run today," he.
So saying, Santa hurried to his sta.-
'hies. There the •eindeer were shIlW
Mg their impede! re to be out in the
open, and Santa gave orders to. his
stable eines to hitch up the steeds .to
the sleigh, as he meant to give the good
anililals a little exercise.
'"They need a rare now and then,"
he said. ` "Otherwise they'd get stiff
kneed rind would feel clumsy when
trying to gallop over shifting clouds
and ragged treetops and uneven roofs."
After the ride of several hours Santa
[ld r:
crier! out to pis reindeer:
"Now to earth, my gdod fellows. And
don't lag. \1'e must fie there just as
the' dark is falling over the laud. if
we wtlit till the moon c'on'es out we'll
be seen, and that would never du."
As the t.larkness settled over the land
old Santa dropped from a fleecy cloud
to the top or it tall church steeple.
There he got out of his sleigh, told his
reindeer not to move from that steeple
and made bis descent to the roof of a
convenient Ittett ,.•..,�..�tc,l,� ac tit t�i�•

"Lots of new little ones," he said
to himself, smiling. "God bless them
all. Well, they keep me busy through-
out the year. And they are increasing
so rapidly that 1'11 Ince to take sew

Then Santa returned to . the high
church steeple, and us he was getting

companied by his grandson of ten,
came out of the church with a lantern
in his band. The little grandson look-
ed up and cried out to his grandfather;
"Oh. loot ee, 'grandpa, there in tiro

"No, my son, and neither did you.

While 'this motto I avow,
While I shout and sigh and sue,
"Do your Christmas' . Shopping

Do not wait- until each store
Fills' with buyers, 'through and

Fighting like an army corps
Clothes and 'tempers all askew
That's a foolish shunt t4j do
When one may avoid the row
Just by clinging to this' clue,
"Do your Christmas shopping

Shopgirls have their 'trials galore,
They're an overburd.ened crew,
Do not make their troubles more,
Try to lighten them a few,
Keep this sentiment in view,
It's a good one you'll allow,
Take it quickly, for your cue,

All should- heed the -se ;word!,

Everybody -this means YOU -
