TOO MANY CHRI TMAS GIFTS. Tfco Bounteous Liberality of His Rich Friends Nearly Ruined Him Last Year. From the Sew York Herald. “If I get too many Christmas presents this year I shall be ruined.'’ The reporter glanced up quickly and in terrogatively at his friend. “No; you didn’t misunderstand me. I mean Just what I said. If my rich friends send me a lot of handsome presents, as they did last year, I may as well go into bank ruptcy.” There was an air of trouble and perplexity upon the speaker’s face that was unques tionably genuine. “I’m not sure that I quite catch on,” said the reporter. “You don’t quite see how a man may be pecuniarily embarrassed by having hand some and costly gifts showered upon him. You’d like to know how he may be driven to the verge of starvation by too much wealth; liow his wife and little ones may be robbed of the clothes upon their backs and the whole family beggared by a pouring out of golden offerings upon them. You would, eh? “See here; do you remember when you and I were at school that there was some thing or other in our Greek mythology about a girl named Dauae. who was loved by Jupiter, and who was smothered by a shower of gold which the god caused to de scend upon her; sort of killed by kiudness, as it were. Well, the circumstances are not exactly parallel, but in me you behold a sort of male Danae. Oh, you needn’t laugh. It’s a pathetic and tragic business. My son, ‘I could a tale unfold that would freeze thy young blood, and make each separate and particular hair to stand on end like quills upon the fretful porcupine.’ “You, see, it's like t .is: “My wife has a score or so of disgustingly wealthy relatives —aunts and uncles and cousins. And os they think all the world of Nellie, every Christmas they send her and me and our two boys a lot of Christmas presents. Some of the gifts are sure to be very handsome and costly. “For instance, last year Uncle John—a sinfully rich lard broker, a bachelor, and as Jolly an old boy as you ever met in your life—gave Nellie a gold-mounted opera glass and me a diamond scarf pin, to say nothing of a 15-year size toboggan which he sent to our little 3-year-old Ned, and which—the toboggan, I mean—is so big that it won’t go into our commodious (?) Harlem flat, and I’ve had to send it to be stored at 11 a month. “Now, Nellie is the dearest little woman in the world, but she has no more idea of the value of money than a Hottentot, and she hasn’t the faintest conception of the tremendous difference between my income and that of her Uncle John, who makes as much in a single day’s commissions on the Produce Exchange as her hubby makes in a whole month’s drudgery as a "clerk in an insurance office. And "so, as Nellie hasn't any monev, she makes it up in pride, and as dear Uncle John gave ner that opera glass and me the diamond pin, why, nothing would suit her kind little heart, overflowing with gratitude to Uncle John—l thind it was the big toboggan for little Ned that fetched her—but I must make Uncle John ‘a real handsome present.’ I wanted her to work him a pair of slippers, but she looked at me very reproachfully and said: ‘Why, Charley, I’m ashamed of you!’ So she bought him an oxidized silver smoking set— the old boy’s a great smoker—that cost S2O, and, of course, I had to grin and bear it, as I thought to myself, ‘There goes four tons of coal.’ “Then there was Aunt Maria—dearest old maiden lady in the world—owns rows and rows of houses up town, and nothing to do with her money except act as a sort of gilt-edged Santa Clans to her young rela tives every Christmas. She gave Nellie a Tiffany fan of marabout feathers, and a gold-handled umbrella to yours truly, to say nothing of a lot of costly mechanical toys to the child'en—things that you wind up and then let 'em go bumping into the furniture, knocking dents into the piano legs, and so on. "Of course after that, according to Nel lie’s notions, the three-dollar Christmas card which I had saved up to buy for the old lady, and which I had mailed to her the day before, wasn't anything like an appro priate return. So I had to give the dear old thing my new winter overcoat.” “What?” asked the reporter. “Well, I mean I had to take the money I had put aside for anew coat to buy that fichu, I believe Nellie called it. a ragged looking, dirty yellow arraugement that you nr 1 would appraise at about 37c., but which Nellie enthusiastically said was real some thing-or-other lace, and was porfetly lovely. “To reciprocate in kind for Cousin Mary’s and Aunt Louisa's presents took Nellie’s new dress; hut she’s such a generous and proud little thing that she let on she didn’t mind it. I had hard work to prevent the new shoes and stockings that the boys had to have from going along with the rest. But I managed to save them by simply shut ting down and telling Nellie that" I just couldn’t stand it. She was greatly morti fied, poor girl, because she couldn’t send anything nicer than a morocco and gilt prayer-book to Couiein Hattie, and a brmr ivood pjpe to her brother Tom. “What with the malaria we have all had this winter, because of the ‘sanitary plumb ing' in our Hats, I have bad big doctors’ and druggists’ bills to pay, and Haven't been able to save much for Christmas. And as I have heard mysterious hints that Aunt Maria and Uncle John arp going to send us tome particularly handsome presents this year, I am looking forward to Christmas with the resignation of despair.’’ And the unhappy man slowly entered the Office of the Non-Combustible" Fire Insur ance Company like one who saw nothing in prospect but bankruptcy and ruin. There are a good many women like Nelly and a good many husbands like Charley in this big city, as the reporter scon found out by joining the throngs of Christmas shop pers at three or four of the great, stores where beautiful and costly objects are sold. At one big establishment where the diamonds in a single case were worth a king's ransom many people who, by their dress and manner, were undoubtedly of very moderate means mingled with million aires and their wives and daughters, and teemed equally tient on spending their money lavishly on expensive trifles. “It isn’t for.me to say,” said u salesman with whom the reporter had established confidential relations, “but I could tell you tome queer things I have seen in the way of Extravagant purchases by people who can’t tfford luxuries. Of course, our regular Customers are nearly all people of wealth, but just about this time every year we have t class of purchaser that arc never seen here at any other time. We know them to be of very moderate means—sometimes they are really very poor—but they are si "ays gentlefolks and chock full of pride; and from pride or some other reason they feem willing to deprive themselves of the hecessaries of life to buy jewelry or silver ware or some expensive and useless knick knack. “We know nothing of the history of such people, as, of course, we never concern our selves with other people’s affairs. But Sometimes we can’t help learning some curi ous phases of human nature by the merest accident. ‘ For instance, there is a man standing "’ithin 50 feet of you now who, I happen to know, is a struggling young physician. N 'o, I don’t intend hi point him out dr men tion any names. Ho hasa wife aud family, tnd he’s as poor ns a church mouse. But his relatives are some of the rich people of New ' °rk, and he’s as proud as Lucifer, and J v °n’t let bis easy-going, careless relatives tnow what a struggle he has to keep poverty from the door. I’ll bet he’s buy ing Christmas presents for some of his rich 'fiends and that it’s costing him the clothes l '!F his bock to savo the money. He’ll send rich friend a costly trifle that will be farelessly glanced at and then forgotten. 1 he rich fellow may say: “ ’it was good of' Jack m remember mo. ' pretty. Must have cost him #35.’ "•But Billy probably never kuew how much it did cost Jack and Jack's wife and ! children. “I tell you there’s a lot of false pride in this big city. The love of show and pro ! tension is a human weakness which receives more striking illustrations in New York than any other city in the country. No body knows how much pride and roverty there is behind plate glass and brown stone fronts, acting out its little sham and ‘keep ing up appearances.’ ” Ana the philosophic salesman turned to show some goods to a waiting customer.
