Giving yourself with your gift.
That’s the secret of successful
Christmas giving. Who wants
a gift that cost no one any time
or thought; that is picked out at
random out of a collection of
things with the remark: “Here,
send this to so and so. I’ve got
to send her something and this
will suit as well as anything. ff
Probably followed by the com
ment, “That probably cost as

much as the thing she sent me
last year. n
Thoughts That Count.
Doesn’t it make you want to
flee to the uttermost parts of the
earth to get away from such
mental approach to the jolliest
and kindest holiday season of the
whole year. If we had our way
no one would be cold, hungry or
forgotten at Christmas time.
What do we want most, all of us ?
Is it material things? Isn’t it
GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS
just to be remembered ?
A cheery letter, a card with a
pretty verse and a friend’s name
scribbled thereon, are much, much
better than an expensive gift that
has no loving thought to prompt
its sending. There are many
things you can make yourself—
Pretty and useful things—sewing
or pasting bits of yourself into
the present. For you cannot
work on something %>r a person
and not think a good deal about
the recipient and your 'thoughts
are apt to be very kind. _____..
Crepe Paper Gifts.
The craze for making things
from sealing wax and crepe pa
per has by no means died down.
Necklaces, pendants, hand deco
rated candles, vases and lamps
are among the many pretty things
you may make. Pretty baskets
that are so effective for holding
the new dried and painted • flow
ers and grasses are easily made
by weaving' twisted strands' of
crepe paper, afterwards shellack
ing the finished article.
It is wonderful to be able to
give gifts de luxe like the lovely
three strand necklace of pearls
clasped with emerald cabochon
with wristlet and little finger
ring to match or the fan of ombre
ostrich in rose shades, pictured
above. But if one cannot give
those or other equally luxurious
gifts one can put so much loving
thought into ^choosing just the in
expensive gift that will please the
friend you have in mind.
In this way you will be happy
with your heart full of the true
Christmas spirit as you do - your
shopping or make your modest
gifts-’ and the recipient will also
be pleased.
I want to say just a word about
gifts for children. Did you ever
notice how a simple toy from
the 10 cent store will please a
child and he will play with it for
hours and neglect the mere elab
orate things? Sometimes a child
will have many friends and rela
tions who vie with each other in
showering it w it h ingenious, toys
aFd~W cWd'Ts s^
tiny fingers of a child from
two to five years cannot manage
the mechanical toys so often be
stowed on it and a tow yhich
he can attach a Btring and puli
about after him or that he can
run on an imaginary track over
the carpet will please him much
more. The grownups of the fam
ily always get more enjoyment
out of the mechanical or electrical
toys than the children as the lat
ter can seldom play with them
alone. And the tiny girl will love
and appreciate a rosy cheeked
rag doll that can go to bed with
her and share all her play much
more than the fine one that has
real hair, opens and shuts its
eyes and talks—but must not be
handled. ^
About 60 per cent of the popu
lation of westerfi -Canada resides
