We hurry and rush-through the busy days before Christ mas, and then when Christinas actually comes we put off the mood of giving and sit down intent upon the culmination of our effort, which is reached when we receive. We take what comes—-sometimes eagerly, sometimes with a disappointed shrug —but we take what comes, do wo not, and are. we always prompt to give our thanks? A certain-benevolent lady said last year, “I gave thirty-eight'preseuts this Christmas and received only nine letters of thanks.” This seemed drf.sqiful beyond wprdsF' “And what of the others ?” I hastened to ask. .“Some of them thanked me when we neit met,” she said carelessly, “and some of them never thanked me at all, You know,” site added af ter, a paus?, Bone of the hardest things to do is to givo thanks graciously. Some people can never do it. It is the dis tinct 'mark of high breeding. I don’t, suppose any one but 7i king or a princess lias really the perfect art o'f saying ‘Thank you.’ ” It is a mark of .good breeding to be prompt and gracious in giving thanks. Even if the gift is a pincushion and you already have ninety-nine others, say “Thank you” sweetly, affectionately and in the spirit of Christmas. Do nm let twen ty-four hours pass by. without teking sufficient tilne to write an appreciative, affectionate little note to every one who hd3 re membered you at. Christmas time. Though this m:.y be looked upon as a drty to others, it i3 far more than that: it,is a duty, to yourself, a very real duty, for to be diseourt* ous is to be selfish, and to be selfisii is to be' outside of mar.y of life’s keen est joys. As a matter of self training, if for no other reason, say “Thank you” as quickly and attractively am sincerely as you can., , One n,°e<! horso in first class rendition, will w$rk anywhere, : j interested, call at the Progress Office.
