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 % Cl ■V l 1/ ; • «?, \ \ "lij > 5 :V ,V a ’j. v* s r- u i >&? ■ $ Tt/V Jm hisXMASGIFT one worries about who money it ahead starts to save of time I NOW Starting makes a XMAS next GIFT years FUND giving a pleasure.

CITY NATIONAL BANK We’re Looking; For You—So Come Jn and Joint 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 on farms. /.......... ■■ News of 3rd an<j Kincaid-Memorial M. E. Churches (By W. R, Williams, Pastor.) A gracious reception awaited the pastor on his return back to the charge for another year.
