"Oh, yes, we'll dispose of you for the

an Inspiration,' "'I gueas there are a few

. "Not Not" ejaculated the man In a very
grieved tone of voloe. "You don't under

I'm not a naturalised cltisen, and you've
got to send ms back to Germany."
"Oh, I see," said the good-natured polio

'.'About MX) will do It, I guess, but first

"How long have jou bean her?"
"Twenty-two years."

he had never heard before, and then
walked away with a disappointed air and

he was so flippant about It, and I thought

Tom the day after that and asked him
right out If he was engaged. H looked
very mysterious and wouldn't say any
thing. Of course, no one noticed It; but 1
lost five pounds during the next three day.

"I see the papers have commended to
print editorials urging everybody to do
Christmas shopping early." begins Bright
side aa wise Willie canters In for the
getaway In the dally verbal handicap.
"I'll bet the guys that hand out that
come-early-and-avold-the-rush dope can't
get their long green together any sooner
than the reat of us," announces Son, with
considerable show of Irritation at the edi
torial suggestion.
"That appeals to me as being an ex
cellent idea for the women folks," Is
Father's belief.
"Don't worry that the skirts won't get
an early start on tha Christmas game,"
admonishes Son. "They begin to lay
their pipes for merry, merry Xmaa right
after the Fourth of July. The flrat Thing
they make out Is a list of those they are
sure will give them presents. Then they
figure out a scheme to send each of 'em
a piece of Junk that will show a cleat
profit of fifty per oent on the trade."
"I don't approve of the system of glvlnaj
where something Is expected In return,"
protests Father.
"That' what they all say," reminds Son,
"but I notice that the dame use the same
careful methods every year to pick out
the come-ons. If any little Bright Eye
ends out a trading stamp vae to her
dearest chum this year, and she doesn't
get anything In return, 'dearest chum' gets
on the black list for the next year."
'If I had to make gifts In that spirit,"
assents Father, "I should prefer not to
make any at all,"
"Kvery married aklrt ha a string of
relatives who seem to have more children
at Christmas than any other time," says
Son, "and all of them have to be 'remem
bered,' or there's trouble In the dear old
home."
"This wholesale giving of presents
doesn't seem necessary," continues Father
"Nine out of ten married man will tell
you It'a a case of give up the simoloons
for the joyous Tletlde or else fight it
out with wife until the glad New Tear
has come and went," declared Son. "Of
course, Pop. as you say, It isn't neces
sary, but why make the little flat sad
and dreary with an argument when a few
bucks for foolish toys will make wife leap
for joy like a gay gaaelleT"
"But it lan't tha mare money that I ob
ject to," argue Father. "It la the prlnoipie
of tha thing that I stand out for."

appeal of the Boaton society. "Tha great
eat tragedy of New Tork's Industrial l.fe,"
she continued, "Is the tragedy of the sur

willing to work, but who have pasaed the
