SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13. Society \Ladies of Good Shepherd to Give Afternoon Tea The ladies of the Church of the Good Shepherd, wishing to extend a cordial welcome to all visiting ladies who attend the Episcopal church of The Hill, and are temporarily sojourn ing in their midst, have decided to ex Tzvo Views of Christmas Gifts Christmas! Christmas and a merry, jolly happy one to all, is in the at mosphere already. The stores are clad in their usual beautiful holiday attire. The windows are decorated with gifts to cheer the hearts of both the young and the old. Tinsels and gaily-colored ornaments with bells, horns, dolls, wonderful me chanical toys, climbing vine-clad mountains, hold the w-ee tots spell bound for hours before the windows. The Christmas flower, so suggestive of the season, the poinsetta peeps out from amidst ferns, holly, johnquills and hyacinths. Even the delicate hot house roses of pink and gorgeous American beauties all come to add to the beauty and cheer of Christmas. But lets i*ot forget the violet with its message of sweetness, too. Now let us put our heads together and think of the gifts that are suitable and appropriate to make every one glad. Tie them up prettily in tissue paper and seal with Christmas tags. Oh, but it helps these simple and in expensive wrappings. / A very sweet and touching story cVimes to mind which seems worthy of repetition. A sweet old lady who had married young to a poor man whom she loved. Although he loved her ten derly and most devotedly, he had nev er been able to give her more than the actual necessities of life. She had rais ed a family of good children and now, a widow, was living with a daughter. It was near Christmas; the family were discusing what to give mother and grand-mother. One said, “I’ll give her some wanm cotton fleece-lined stockings,” and another said, “I’ll give w'oolen gloves,” and so on. The young grand-daughter saved several dollars. She created quite a stir when she said, “I am going to give my grand-mother a lot of beautiful pink roses just like a bride’s-maid would carry.” The family were shocked; thought she had lost her senses and said, “No; the idea; give her something sensible and useful,” but Miss “Young Ameri ca” said, “No, that is it it; anlways and forever something sensible or use ful. She is going to have roses, roses; a big bunch of beauties too, I will se lect them.” Christmas came. All the sensible warm- presents came, too; and were put in grandma’s room and the roses; pink, sweet and beautiful; were there in a vase beside the rest. When the family went in to see her to wish her 1 illj —' f tend to them the social courtesy of an afternoon tea, Thursday, December 17th. at 4 o’clock, at the home of Miss Weed, Walton Way and Milledge road, where they may meet and get into closer touch with each other. a Merry Christmas, she sat with the roses held in her arms caressing them. Tears were rolling down her withered cheeks and all she could say was, “Roses, sweet and beautiful roses, I have wanted them all my life, but your papa couldn’t buy them. My heart has always yearned for them. I’ve dream ed of roses just like these. Now I am happy—so happy today—God bless my little girl for my roses.” Now- let us, in giving our presents stop and think, that perhaps the necessary homely warm gifts might be accepta ble, but maybe roses, or some gay and pretty gifts we have planned for a rich friend, would make the heart of the poor friend happy too. Just be cause people are poor does not signify they would not enjoy the gifts usual ly given to the rich. Eet us make this the best and jolliest Christmas ever for our dear ones, the poor ones, and especially the wee ones. INSTALLATION OF D. OF I.
