If only from motives of vanity, abstain from grumbling during the festive season, for nothing so surely fixes a person’s age as disagreeable remarks about the utter futility and absurd ity of keeping Christmas. However well preserved, how ever free from gray hair, wrinkles and other distressing marks of devouring Time, be quite sure that your Christ mas attitude will not give you away. “Heigho for the holly! This life is most jolly!” is . die correct attitude. It is the attitude of the child, and at Christmas time the immortal child which lurks in every human being wakes to life if we do not frighten it and allow it to creep back to its hiding place for want of en couragement. Grumpy, dis agreeable people naturally do not like Christmas, because it shows them up. smrnmrnmntmn KINDHEARTEO. FARM LOANS SS, REASONABLE INTEREST RATE. A. H.
