For five years I've raised this doleful cry We do make Chilstmns a burden. Kvon Mr. llok, nf the Ladles' Home Journal, says so. He divided his latest editorial 1 onnnents, or scolds, eeiually between the iniquities of the modern day ob servation of the blessed holiday nnd the evils of tho baby go-cart, whl h Is not tho conect term for the llttli perambulator In which the baby has to sit uptight nnd dangle Its poor lit tle legs over the edge Into space. No doubt ho Is right In both cases, nsl 1" fiom considering the vehicle n Ro-cn.it. There Is no diminution In the strug gle to outdo what we did ln"t year in the way of celebrating Chris inns. Somebody gave us something hand somer than we had iny light to expec-; nnd we. must go one better. Some body we didn't know last Christmas has come Into our life nnd wo want to show our nppteclatlon by un extrava gant gift. Somebody wo don't care much for may bestow a prcent nnl wo deslie to foiestall any possible pre ponderence In Its value. We want to give something very beautiful to Fome bodj, we cire very much for nnl, there fne inii'-t mVn the expense tot il hiaIer than last ear. Oh, theie Is no end of cnccsscs for making Christ mas very hard. It Is a delightful thing to be able to go forth and buy for eveiybody th particular object of our choice, but sometimes theie arc comnensatlons for those who cannot. Last winter n cer tain young couple had sutfered re- 01 Res, making It In prospective a gloomy season, indeed. The two sat down and conideied tho question with sorrowful enie. ihcy decided tint It was Impossible to attempt even the model ate gift-giving of other ycais and nt flist thought It best to seive notice on all friends and relatives that a celebration of Christmas In the oil way wa out of the question and that no gifts could bo bestowed nnd a "ens of pride would be satisfied lf none w re re-el ved. This seemed such a woil 'Jy. loa's.and-lshes arrangement that It was finally abandoned and Insteal was substituted the plan of dividing up the limited ChrK'mas fund Into poiMons which would allow just twentv-llvs cents for each gift. The husb-nd looked upon the scheme with disfavor. He had been In the habit of spending money rather liberally at this season and, as he had refined and elegant taste, had put an In llvMuallty of se lection in the gifts sent out which had made Impress on the minds of his fiiends and caused an unusual Mutter when these remembrances weie ie celvtd. For instance, one year a man of aesthetic fancies found a wonderful piece of hammeied bione In his stock ing, it was nn odd shaped thing nnd lie was at a loss to know Its use no yon 1 being beautiful and unique as t woik of nrt. Inquiry developed tho fact that It had boon employed by the Greeks as a sort of n brazier, It was now to be a lamp standard and wll I giew all curio hunteis over the ti ens ure which the giver had found n erusted with mold In n scrap iron heap. What had been Its join neylnj nnd Its weird history could be but a matter of conjectuie. It was only tho uneirlng tnste of the finder which pie served It for the magnificent home It now adorns. A rare bit of wood carv ing, a fine old piece of porcelain, those were among the memories of the pist as distinctive tpes of the oung man's taste. To drop down to a twenty-five cent sub stitute was a bitter experience. He simply couldn't do It. He preferred to stand aside from the path of tlt2 Chilstmns angel nnd let him pass un iccognlzed thin to feci the huinllli llon of such a descent from his old po sition Here was where the advantages .-if hiving a canny wife came to .some impose. She wns a brisk llt'M boly vlth a stialn of New Knglnnd p-ief-c.iiliy which made a noiseless Kilnnc wheei to h'h southern Impetuosity nnd Iumui -loving t-elf. "I see one gift for your mother," she said, enthusiastically. Ho looked tow aid tho linen closet, as intimate 1 by her gaze, but saw nothing but a glimpse of shining white folds, reach ing well to the celling. "Don't you ie member the deer skin?" she Inqulicd with breathlebs haste: "you wero ul ways going to have It for a table cover, Ut I wouldn't 'i.,w It. It is taimc i a pale lovely olive nnd It Is softer than the softest kid." "Yes, but what can bo done with It?" ho answered, assuming a. little of her cagcinchs "Why don't you see, you old stupid?" she went on. "You icinembcr I learned something about book-binding from Anna Knowles. Well, If I don't make hj swellest binding for her darling 'Dat 1 Hatum' I'm a dunce. It will bo em bossed, If ou please, although It Is so roft, and treated with some lustic that nro up In tho attlo and you Just wait. You know I have a copy of David." The husband fell In with tho plan and, with his knowledge of hepU sketching, made some Illustrations' Milch caused the book to be ,in edl tlon de luxe, Indeed, with ItH ex tulslto cover. Hut tho man con'rutiwlsc la mented the loss of his Turkish tablj cover whl h was to have been made from deer skin, whose original ownci he hnd idiot. Then this deft-fingered little hulv bo gnu In earnest. She had taken ur. art Journal for many yenis. It i-otnulnel home reproductions of old mnsteis She cut out Bevci il, serene-eyed midonuus. mounted them on dark gieen card honid and tinted softly, glaze 1 and made pisse partout effects with a t-ot of about 20 cents for a ha'I dozen. These she nnanged In sets and gave to nrt-lovlng fiiends, who went Into raptures over the rich-toned pictures. Long ago she had the hammered brass craze and with the extinvagance then wurrantcd bought a set ot tools. tt K Ji te w & u S' ft,' V X X' X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X t; X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X &' X ft' .'
