They muke you uneasy; set you to wondering if we, in this speedy twentieth century, should really pay much attention to cld Santa Claus and his jingling bells. Let's look into it. How about it, anyhow? Is Chiistmas “a lot of bunk?” Is it “about played out” as far as grown-ups go? Maybe it is, if you want to figure it strictly on a cash basis. Lots of us spend more money than we . eer afford buying presents that the recipients really won’t care much about. Lots of people—shop girls, store managers, and so on—work themselves nearly to death every December, and need almost the rest of the winter to recuperate. This one holiday does caule an awful lot of running about and exertion. But. Christmas has its good side, too. the grouchy man admitted, it’s fine for the kids. * And, after all, that alone is plenty of excuse for continuing it. We dcn’t always remember just hewimuch we owe the kids; indeed, we ©2metimes catch ourselves talking about how much the kids owe UB. Christmas is a mighty valuable corrective.
