Don't think that you are too
poor to keep Christmas. You
can’t be so poor as all that.
Don't spend so much no
Christmasthatyou can’t get even
with the butcher and grocer un-
Dear Santa Clause;
Please bring me a doll can
riage, a doll bed, a large rob-
ber ball, conlecteoneries, a doll
tea set and a piano. Your little
friend, Eunice Lambeit.

Grandpa and Grandma Jackson
Your little boy, John Metauer

Dear Santa;

trunk and some fire crackers
and all kinds of confectioneries,

pers, a kicking mule, sleeping

and get out of our papas window
and go to Jworkt. Please dont
torget our Grandma as she is old
and cant walk up town to see
you. Your good boys hoping
you will keep well. A
til Mardh.
Don’t give presents that are a
pleasure for ten minutes aad a
burden and a worry (or ten years.
Don't, young women, buy
neckties for young men folk ;
don’t encourage them in beiog
bigger guys than necessary.
Don’t give a drum tothe child
ren of your enemy who works
nights. A watchman’s rattle is
just as good, and it is cheaper
Don’t give your wife some,
thing she don’t care for just be
cause you want it yourself. This
"don’t” works the other way
just as well.
Don't forget that a basket of
fruit or a box of flowers is just
as nice a present in many cases
as something that will laBta good
dial longer.
Don’t try to find the price
marks on the gifts you receive.
If the gifts are worth having
they mean something above
dollars and cents.
Dear Saata Claus;
I have been studying at home
and now will you please bring
me a black board, a bicycle, a
door laoe with whiskers on it a
big drum that will suit a boy
seven years old, a big fire crack
er, some candy and fruit. Rem
ember all little boys and girls,
Your little friend, Warren Jack*
sou.
Dear Santa Clause:
Please bring ,me a doll*
house, a carriage, a teddy bear
and confectioneries and a doll
dresser and tea set and a little
chair too for me. Your little
friend, Pauline Lambert.
Bo wdon, Ga., Dec. 18, 1919.
Dear Santa Claus,
I thought I would write
and tell you what T would like
for you to bring 'me. I would
like for you.to bring me some;
thing real nice and pretty |for a
little girl 10 years old. Some
thing like a nice tall doll and a
little ,doll carriage to ride my
doll In. Bring me some candy,
oranges, bananaR, nuts, raisins,
and cocanuts. My little broth r
age 7 wants you to bring him a
pretty toy to play with. He
wants some candy, oranges, ba
nanas, nuts, raisins, and coca-
nuts too. Brother and I will
obey papa and mamma, Your
children,
Mary and Hugh Reid.
Dear Santa Clause;
Please bring a big doll
and a doll errriage and a tri
cycle and plenty of confection
eries. Your girl,
Louise Askew.
Dear Santa;
Bring me a lots of candy
and Gentry Bros show. Your
little boy, Rufus Askew.
Dear Santa Clause;
Please bring me a dram, train
and suit of clothes and some cou-
fectioneries, too. Yours,
Tom Askew.
Don’t forget the Bob Cratchits
and the Tiny Tims—that is, un
less you are an unregenerate Old
Scrooge, in which case forget
fulness can be explained.
Don’t put off everything to
the last, because you had better
for the joy of your friends give
nothing than wear yourself out
and be as cross as two sticks
when the blessed day comes.
Don’t check off each gift you
receive against each present that
yon gave and calculate whether
you made or lost. Christmas is
not the time to be any smaller
or meaner than you c*n help.
Don’t oppress children who
are satiated to sadness with toys
already by giving them more.
There are other ways of makiug
them happy, or if there are not
it is because they are spoiled
with many pleasures and are the
most pitiful beings alive. In that
case let them try djing some
thing for poor children, who are
blessed in powers of enjoyment,
and see if the capacity won’t
prove catching.
Don’t neglect, if you are a
woman, to lay in a stock of some
simple things like handkerchiefs
and sachet bags for unexpected
emergencies if you like to meet
various people with a reasonable
token.
Don’t set your own happiness
up as the chief thing to be look
ed out for at Christmas time.
Try to m ke other people happy
and forget yourself, then you
will be surprised to see how
really happy you are.
Don’t give a book to a man
with a big library or a picture to
the man who makes a specialty
of the fi le arts unless ycu know
pretty well what he wants. Ten
to one he’d rather do the buying
of such thiogs lor himself.
Don’t write your name or any'-
body else’son cards if you send
them. No one can keep a lot of
such truck, and it is often high
ly convenient just to send them
on their travels to carry Christ
mas greeting to other people.
And why not?
We wrap, weigh and mai
your packages for you with
pleasure, A. J. Baskin Co
