It Is Easy to Spread
Happiness to Others
WAS snowing—not the nice, dry
\i| kind, but the kind that leaves hat
feathers bedraggled and tempers
grouchy.
The streets were crowded with holi
day shoppers and people looked cross.
A woman hurried toward me, hold
ing to a boy of four by one hand and
carrying a heavy basket with the
other.
He tried to keep up, but he missed
a step now and then; at last he
stumbled and fell, and the mother
dragged him up and said things to
him, while he tried not to cry.
At the edge of the walk another
woman got out of a brougham and
started to cross over to the shop door.
She took in the scene, and under
gtood —it was strange how few people
do understand. She stepped over to
the child, unpinned a spray of holly
from her fur coat and pinned it on
his ragged little Jacket.
“Only two days till Christmas,” she
said. “Isn’t it great I”
The mother gave her that knowing
look mothers have, and the boy
smiled back at her.
The crowd Jogged on, but people
were half smiling in spite of the wet
snow and the slushy walks.
The mother had lost some of the
tired look, and the boy was taking
skipping steps as he looked down hap
pily at the spray of holly on his coat.

Toys Best for Children
“Manipulation” toys are best for
children between the ages of two and
four; “dramatic” playthings best be
tween four and six, and “construction”
playthings, such as radio outfits,
games or toys that teach the simpler
branches of exact sciences and those
which exercise and train the hands
and brain in a somewhat advanced
way are best.—George Newell Moran.

Let Us Make Greetings
Ring With Good Cheer
GOD MORNING!
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
These are greetings which every
body uses, and which we hear from
the lips of all alike—“rich man, poor
man, beggar man, thief, doctor, law
yer, merchant, chief." But to how
many of us do the words live? Are
they not for the most part a mere
meaningless formula without even the
inspiration behind them that usually
prompts our spontaneous “hello”?
Let it be different this year.
Let us back these Joyous greetings
with hearty enthusiasm. As a man
may be Judged by bls handshake, so
may he be Juudged by his salutations.
Let these time-worn phrases take on
new life and become time-honored
phrases.
Let us mean—
Good morning!
Merry Christmas!
! Happy New Year!
—H. Lnclus Cook.
