Very much of the money spent for Christmas gifts serves no useful pur- puse. The gifts are of practically no value in proportion to their cost, and . veicher the giver nor the receiver cxperiences any joy ovr tiem, be-| cause each looks upon the gift as the puyment of an obligation rather than as a love offering. Of course tuis remark only applies to gifts which are made and received in that spirit. The New York American say8: There was never a better idea than the crusade started in the city in which Chicago has just joined to eliminate the useless Christmas gifts. The three thousand young wemen here who have agreed to send | cut their holiday greetings in thei form of a letter of good cheer or n( card will shortly find that hundredu‘ «f thousands will seize the chance to emulate their example. liceping up of the real Christmas gpliit. Everyone is better for it— the feeling of good fellowship and “peace on earth, good will towarl men” is in itsclf a gift the value of which cannot be over-estimeted.

The rorult is en empty purse and in thousands ot cuecs heart burnings and ugly com- tarisons. This is just what the new idea will avoid.
