ed way—others are practical about it.
We all respect the homemaker wno
Perpetuates old customs—but at the
same thee there are many things to
be said in favour of choosing the best
in the old, and adding it to the best
in the' new!
At any rate—war or no war—may
your Christmas be a splendid one—
and your festive board a thing of tri-
umph and delight,

This comparison gives some idea of the big increase in long
distance telephone calls which takes place on Christmas Day. The •
piles are made up of the tickets on which the details of out-of-town •
calls are recorded by the operators. The smaller pile represents the
average day's business on the long distance 'l•ines. The pile to which
the operators are pointing representskthe Christmas traffic rush. All
these calls, many for far-off places, pour in within a few hours at
Yuletide. Since there just aren't enough circuits to go around, calls
may be delayed for considerable periods on Christmas Day,

This comparison gives some idea of the big increase in long
distance telephone calls which takes place on Christmas Day. The •
piles are made up of the tickets on which the details of out-of-town •
calls are recorded by the operators. The smaller pile represents the
average day's business on the long distance 'l•ines. The pile to which
the operators are pointing representskthe Christmas traffic rush. All
these calls, many for far-off places, pour in within a few hours at
Yuletide. Since there just aren't enough circuits to go around, calls
may be delayed for considerable periods on Christmas Day,
