There is yet time, if you haven't packed a box with triut cake, jars of homemade pickles, jelly, home-made candy anything in this world which speaks of home, do so. No matter if it is not an elaborate gift, it will save the day. Forgetfulness makes the girl or boy who does get his Christmas parcels from home hate to open them before the disappointed ones.

Just a card with the name on it will not do. No matter if the letter is written on a piece of wrapping paper with a pencil, get it off.

Put in it every little thing about the home: how the living room looks with the new curtains; how the old rugs took the dye; what you are going to cook for the Christmas dinner; what you have selected for each one's Christmas; all about the church dinner; what young folks are coming home for the holidays; if the dog still misses his young master.

SMITH.

NDIANAPOLIS, like every other prosperous city, has its quota of young people from the farms, from smaller towns, from other cities, called here by their desire to study or to enter business or a profession. The blood which calls for adventure runs in the veins of every normal boy and girl. The city is to them the land of bright promise and glorious fulfillment. So here they are, happy and contented in their work, in their new friends, new interests. Just about now 'long come the holt- if he has forgot me! And they know days.

HARRIET'S SUSPICION eyes opened wide with admiration as I threw wide the door for Dr. Braithwaite and his wife. I have always known that my stately sister-in-law had more than the average feminine portion of good looks, but in the simply gown but exquisitely cut black velvet she wore she was regal. A curlously fashioned oriental necklace of jade and amber with matching ear pendants and hair ornament caught my wondering and somewhat awed eyes, for the things struck even my unaccustomed observetion as far out of the ordinary.

"You're like an exquisite old painting, I said a bit breathlessly as ushered them into our living room.

"I'll put you it in another way. You're beautiful! Isn't she, Edwin?" "She always is," her husband replied dutifully, but there was something more the than the perfunctory response in proudly approving smile he gave her.

tucked the smile away in my memory, resolved to bring it out for Harriet's beneft if ever again she should confde to me a doubt of her husband's constancy. How utterly foolish she was, I mentally to imagine a menace in her brilliant husband's fatherly affection for Katherine Bickett, who had been his right hand in his European war hospital, when he constantly betrayed his dependence upon his wife, his pride in and his loyal love for her! She flushed like a school girl at her husband's tribute, began to chatter In embarrassed fashion of the ornaments from which I could not keep my admiring eyes.

Bachelor Girl Calls Xmas Tragedy for Married Folk To the Editor of The Star: "Bachelor Xmas shoppers most pathetic sight in the Xmas shops?" Nay, nay, dear editor. The sight I saw yesterday in the infants' wear department of our best store was much sadder. A little woman with a baby in her arms and an eager-faced child at her knee, followed by a big, heavy-faced man. Without hesitation the mother darts to the bib counter; without a second's hesitation she seizes on the cheapest and most practical bib in that confused pile. (I, a care-free bachelor maid, had gone carefully through the counter's, contents because and its had price was recognized only a the quarter.) worth of But the the bib, little but mother-hawk darted at it and carried it to her lord and master.

He stood there in the midst of the sweet display of baby things, beside him an eager little wife with a child at her knee, a baby in the crook of her arm, a two-bit bib in her hand. In hurried whispers she told him all about an expression flitted over his heavy, stolid face. She presented her case, walted a second, then winged her way back and replaced the bib. I bought my silly little showy darling baby present and, oh, my heart was bitter toward that man and I thanked the Lord I and a bachelor at this season when the sword enters the mother's heart in many homes. Newspapers educative? Then educate men value wives and children; educate women to estimate character, to comprehend the responsibility of bringing children into the world; educate both men and women to estimate independence and individual freedom at their true worth.

Please no more about pathetic bachelor shoppers. Christmas is tragedy for married folk only. SUSAN BUTLER Indianapolis. REV. R.
