HAT shall I give hint for Christinas?
That la the question that Is agitating the hearts of halt the young
women In the country these days.
A great many girls have written asking my kdvlce on the subject. It
Is Impossible to answer all their letters, but perhaps this article may give
them a tew suggestions.
In the first place, the' whole value of a present lies In Its suitability.
There Ik no sense in giving a book to a man who never reads, nor a
tobacco pouch to a man who does not smoke.
It is bad taste t« spend a great dept ot money on a present to a man
whom you know but slightly. In fact, It If foolish to give a man a present
at all unless you know him well.
If a man takes pride In making his room pretty and artistic you can al
ways give him something to add to It.
A picture, a cushion, a pipe tray, or any of the .thousand and one little
trifles.that the shops are full of.
If you are'Sklljful with your needle and have a good pattern, a* pretty
necktie Is always a nice gift. Neck mufflers and gloves are useful and
acceptable, especially the fur-lined gloves that one sees so many of now
adays.
If your friend la of a studious turn of mind hirChrlatma* present Is very
easily decided upon, as the shops are. full of books that are both delightful
and cheap.
Don't let your gift be of too friendly ar.d Informal a nature unless you
are engaged la s man. For Instance, a shaving set Would not do At all for
any but a relative or a flance.
Remember that a man will be apt to .Judge a girl by the kind of a gift
she sends him. If It Is extravsganLor In poor taste he cannot help thinking
the less of her for sending It.
A gift that shows discrimination and friendly thought will always -be
appreciated. -
If you are engaged to the man a set of brushes will be a nice gift, or
half a dozen handkerchiefs with ills Initials embroidered on them.
A leather card eaae. a bill folder, a bat brush, match box or stamp box
will make a suitable and Inexpensive gift. A fountain pen or a silver lead-
pencil will also be gratefully received by the average man.
If you know a man but slightly and yet wish to send him the season's
greetings, a pretty card or calendar will be quite sufficient.
Don't spend more than you can afford to on your presents. Remember
that It Is the spirit, not the value of the gift tjmt counta.
Chdose your gifts wisely wltli a view to their usefulness as well as beau
ty, and remember not to spend so much on a man as to niuke him feel un
comfortable add under an obligation to you.

A woolly little Teddy Bear, stuffed to
_ the very gills,
Was sitting on his haunches ln*a nur
sery full of frills'.
The rugs were. soft nnd downy, the
room woe large and bright,
But the Teddy Bear undoubtedly was
spoiling for a flght.
'Oner up!” remarked a Poodle Dog
who lay before the Arc;
You have a swell apartment. What
more should bears desire?"
Then, with n most disdainful snort and
eke a scornful stare.
You're talking like a sausage!" said
tho little Teddy Bear.
Now listen!" he continued, ae the Dog
essayed to speak. ,
"You ride with Baby’s mother every
morning In the weok.
She take* you to the matinee, she takes
you through tho park,
She takes you calling on her friends
and kcepn you out till dark,
She dresses you In velvet boots and
ruffles made of silk,
She stakes you several times a day to
bonbons, cakes nnd milk.
Baby stay* at home with tne, In
some Swede nursemaid's care—
No wonder we are lonesome!" said the
little Teddy Bear.
"Sometimes the mother sees us fdr a
moment after tea;
SI’C lets the Baby kiss her once nnd
never looks at me.
I'm not puffed up with fanflly pride, I
keep no family log.
But any well-bred Bear should class
above a Poodlo Dog.
And ns for Baby—bless -her heart! —
that Baby's got you beat
As far as from the Bowery to the
shining Judgment Bent.
And If, at last, the mother doesn't
meet her Baby there,
Keep her—I'll stick to Baby I" said the
little Teddy Bear.
