ways that may cause excitement in present distribution Some member of the family or one of the maids can enter the breakfast room where the table is prettily dec orated with greens but no gifts are displayed She should be heavily veil ed dressed in a long rain coat and carry two or three cotton umbrellas furled Her appearance will excite surprise particularly if the sun shines She will insist that it is going to rain and try to get her umbrellas raised Some of the children will offer to assist and from the umbrella will fall the packages gaily tied and clearly addressed Anything that may suffer from a tumble should be tied to the ribs In one household the large family has decided that each person shall bunt up some novel way of gift pre sentation No one will know what the Dther has

door bell rings and a maid brings in an immediate de livery letter This is gaily decorated with the seasons stamps and seals When opened it is found to be a letter from Santa Claus saying his pack was too heavy so he has for warded by express all his gifts In a few minutes a huge box is delivered In the kitchen which when opened is round to contain packages addressed to each one Another easier way
