Miss Mary Lea Davis: The first Christmas after I was married I gave my wife for a Christmas present a savings ac count bank book with a $10 de posit. and, as 1 was working for a salary, I asked Jaer to let’s re member her Christmas present at least once a month until we get old or when she is left a widow, and now, as it is our greatest as set. I think she thinks of it and appreciates it daily. At other Christmases since I have bought her several little presents, but I don’t think she could show you any of them ex cept the first one, which she says will be her bungalow Christmas present some day.
