To Christmas Shoppers. An appeal to the Chritsmas shop per "ill he right In line with out Idea of manifesting the Christmas spirit. Observation and experiene* has proven that the selfishness man Ifested on the part of (lie Christmas shoppers is beyond conn ption, Hy permission of the management of n large department store, the writei has had ample proof of the unreas onableness of demands made upon the over worked, tired clerk, or as one pronounced it; when asked how she enjoyed the Christmas rush: ‘Tm gone clean crazy." And withal it is surprising how pleasing in man ner and how willing these clerks are to help customers to buy articles suitable to the age of the recipient and at the same time within the means of the purchaser, lint when lie- lush of the last few days comes and tlio clerk endeavors to wait on several customers at the same time it becomes a strain and it is often 1 he'll that shoppers show their ill breeding hy becoming snappy and even insulting because of inattentlvo ness on the part of the overtaxed clerk. They are human beings, let us not forget that, and are on their feet from early morning till late at night with not one moment of reorea tion during tills trying season. If a shopping tour causes fatigue what must clerking mean to the clerks? Ijet us be kind, pnlient and sympa thetic to the clerks who wait on us and let them learn of us that we carry our Christmas spirit with us even when making a purchase. Let us go early and liny your presents be cause the pleasure of anticipation of the joy the recipient will express and feel will not come to us until wo have made the purchase and are in posses sion of the gift. And if we go early we shall likely be able to get the very article that will lie appreciated most by our friends, but if wo wait till the last moment we will lie obliged to take “the next best thing, because the clerk will tell you, "we are out of those now." Another tiling, let us not kill our Christinas joy liy overdoing our generosity. A young man came to me one Christmas morning, and after I had greeted him with the usual, “Merry Christinas" he said: "Merry Nothing, I'm completely "busted' and 1 am thinking of how 1 can frame up something to appease the anger of my boarding mistress when I tell her I'm broke and she wants her board money,” Tliis man evidently did not . got the Christinas Joy. We should not bankrupt ourselves in preparing for tills event. Worry and heart aches are sure to follow if you do. Furthermore, the size and expenslvc ness of the gift shall not mark our friendship in dollars and cents. The most appreciative gift is a self-made one, an article into which the doner enters with painstaking and sketches or works out with brush or needle her love for her friend in the very design and workmanship of the gift. A ready-made article cannot begin to compare with it. And then, are our friends and relatives the only one we should remember? Answer: "Whatsoever ye have done to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” The great er joy of Christmas comes to us when we make some poor heart hap py in some home where poverty and want are known and felt.
