3-jsJote A National Society for the Prevention of Useless Giving has
been organized to teach the public how to .-spend its Christmas money
wisely. The socictj' .has set itself against the purchase of holiday
cw-.;aws. but is strong for the purchase of serviceable gifts, like
clothing, furnishing goods, etc. The members of the society call them
selves Snugs. This year, with the Red Cross pleading for gift3 and
soldiers' children facing an empty Christmas stocking, the necessity
of useful giving looms up stronger than ever before. Think it over,
