Give freely ac- cording to your means, If your heart is heavy for the agonized peo- _ ple of Europe you need inot be fri- ““Jolous in giving. But whether the giving is joyous or in the minor key, there never was a Christmas when the obligation to give was more pressing. The proposal to cut off Christmas presents grows out of that well meaning but mistaken view of life which dwells so much on the super- ficially ‘‘practical” side that is blind to all the practical considerations underlaying the mainly graceful or decorative aspects of life. A general contraction of Christmas present making thi_s year would unquestion- ably have far-reaching disastrous ef- fects. It would mean to manufacturers and jobbers heavy unsold stocks; to retailers it would mean shrinkage of trade and disappearance of profits; to u;ansportationl interests it would “mean the loss of regular annual business; to the wage workers it would mean widespread lack of em- »sloyment. With many out of work in this city at present it is pitiful to think of the eagerness with which some thousands of fmen and women must look forward to the Christmas flurry as a hcpe for earning a few days’ pay. How much more pitiful | would it be if this hope were de-}| feated. Wise givers will naturally adapt their Christmas remembrances in this troubled vear to the prevailing temper. Utilitarian considerations will be likely to guide them to an unusual extent. But it is to be hoped that the inspired trifle will not be entirely dropped out of cur- rency. The pretty card with genu- ine good will behind its conventional wishes, the foolish bit of finery- or unnecessary house ornament that expresses a sympathetic thought, the sparkling stone which is ultra- precious because of the sentiment it betokens, will serve not only to warm the festival of peace with some of its accustomed glow, but further— and here let the practical folk take heed—the money spent on them, filt- ering back over the counter through the channels of trade to the starting place of the toy or its materials, will help in some degree, great or little, a long line of anxious capitalists and workers, great and small, to weather hard times. It is the genial i)rivilege and joy- ous duty of all to relax their purse strings this year for Christmas pres- ents just as far as prudence will al- low.—New York Sun.

The recent annual meeting of the Na- tional Municipal league beld at Balti- more was attended by bundreds of men and women experts in civic af- fairs, and a nuinber of interesting pa- pers were read.

William Dudley Foulke, presi- dent of the league. who presented a paper on “Bvolution In Charter Mak- ing,” which dealt particularly with the league’s efforts in behalf of charter reform, in copnection with which it bas had § greal influénce in the past 1 Dr. Clyde L.

Dr. King has been studying the problem ever since the protest was voiced against the in- creasing cost of foodstuffs.

Many of the famous European cities have some dominant feature which is recalled when their name is mentioned. Such as the canals of Venice, St. Peter's at Rome, the Kremlin at Moscow and burgertor at Berlin, the Ring and the Prafer at Vienna. the Touvre and Notre Dame at Paris. the Jungfern- stieg at Hamburg, the Zeile at Frau}g—! fort, and Westminster abbey and Hyde park at London, which are notable ex- amples, crystallizing, so to speak, the have some features which are in some cases of natural origin, and in others of historical interest.
