Every man appreciates a Christmas present from his wife—especially on the frst of January, when he signs the check for it. Just as the slogan of the hopeful used to be, “Out of the trenches by Christmas,” so now there are opti- miste who believe it will be out of the bonded warehouses by Christmas, This is the time of year when a man begins to wonder if his Christ- mas bonus from the firm will pay for his Christmas presents to the family. Once a lover wrote poetry to his lady, but nowadays our labor-saving youths just copy some little thing out of Kipling or Le Gallienne, sign their own names and send it along. It’s a wise ohild that knows what ite own father wants for Christmas, After buying presenta for every- body, tipping everybody, contributing to everybody, the average man feels, on Christmas Eve, that there is something to be said for an unre- constructed Scrooge. Sixteen or eighteen years ago father and mother were planning what to give the baby for Christmas; now they must struggle with the problem of what to give the baby vamp. When intrusted with a secret a woman sometimes tells it, but a man invariably puts on an expression of such mighty and mysterious tmpor- tance that everybody guesses he “knows something.” Christmas is the day for forgiving your enemies—and treating them to your gift cigars, What BLUE LAWS Should Apply to Husbands?
