Personally, I am delighted with the

HE SHOULD BE HAPPY.
MisVMary Lea ilavis:
A most appropriate gift for a
wife to give her husband wpuld
be a picture of herself nicely
framed for him to keep on his
desk or to take with him when
lie has to leave home. If she will
present this to him with her
sweetest smile, and endeavor to
show him in every way that he
has the love and devotion of the
original, he should be a happy'
man, especially If he is In love
with his wife, as all men should

LIFE INSURANCE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
A life insurance policy appeals
to me as a very appropriate
Christmas present for a man to
give his wife, for It is not only a
constant reminder of the giver,
but shows forethought, and Is
also a source of satisfaction to the
giver to know that the one best
loved by him is protected even
after his* death. I think my' wife
will appreciate this more than
anything else I could give her.

REAL SENTIMENT.
Miss Mary I*ea Davis:
Eighteen years ago 1 married
farmer’s roay-cheeked daughter.
1 brought her to the city to live,
but she never seemed to like it
here She had been used to an
outdoor life. Visits to her old
home brought the color back to
her cheeks and happiness to her
heart. This Christmas I am go
ing to give her a deed to a 165-
acre farm which I purchased last
September and which I will stock
with cows, chickens, ducks and
pigeons the thing# I know she
loves. Then we’ll all move hack
to the country, and I pray that
the rose* wlli bloom again and
for all time in her dimpled cheeks!
THE RING SHE WANTS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The wedding ring that 1 placed
on my bride’s finger fifteen years
ago this month is too small for
her now. She was obliged to put
It away two months ago because
It was too tight for comfort. She
prized the ring highly because of
the sentiment attached to It, and.
although she didn’t say much
about it, I know that she misses
if sadly, for several timesl have
noticed her looking at the ring-
less finger in an absent-minded
way. For a Christmas present f
am going to give her another
ring as near like it as possible,
with the same motto engraved in
side. I know she will be pleased. ^
HER PHOTOGRAPH.
Miss Mary Lea Davis: •
I shall give my husband a dain
tily framed picture of myself. Per
haps to many that would seem ex
travagance touched with vanity,
since we have only a very mod
est income. But I have saved the
amount necessary for the gift
from my allowance during the
year by practicing bits of self-
denial so small I can hardly re
call them. My husband is blessed
with an appreciative nature, so
any gift 1 chose would he happi
ly received. But I am giving him
my picture because it is the per
sonal note In a man’s married life
as well as in his benedlctine days
that appeals to his best nature;
for, after a;!, the usefulness of t
gift must be Judged by the heart
chord it strikes.
VERY PRACTICAL.
Miss Mary I*ea Davis:
The most suitable gift a hus
band can give his \yife is one that
she can enjoy in after years as
w'ell as now. I think a life insur
ance policy, for as much as one
can carry would be the most ap
preciated of all. Then she can
say, t "He lived and died for those
he loved.” '
A REMINDER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
In naming rnv choice of a gift,
I have tried 4o select something
that would be acceptable to all
men as well as, being within the
means of all wives. A dainty pho
tograph of herself for his office,
set in a frame in keeping with
her own individual finances,
would. *to me, be the most appre
ciative and tenderly sentimental
gift a wife could bestow—useful,
too. because in moments of dis-
< ouragement and perhaps tempta
tion it would he a spur to better
effort and a constant reminder
of her love and trust.
