GIVE A DIAMOND
Perhaps the most prizcul of all gifts is the diamond. Brooches, lavallieres, pendants, stickpins, rings and other jewelry, when mounted with a diamon<l, gives real, keen enjoyment to the re¬ cipient, and the donor has th<' satisfaction of knowing that their gift is lifted ont of the "list of "undesirables." A look over our display of dia¬ mond-mounted jewelry will convince you that tlH> word d i a m o n d does not mean tbat your i)ocketbook will lie the loser by any ccmsiderable amount of inoney if you ch-cide to give the gift supreme—a diamond.

Wo Birth ^ Christ
HND there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon tliem, and the glory of the Lord shown around about them; and they were sore afraid.
And the angels said unto them, "Fear not, for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which, shall bo to all people,
"For unto you is bom this day in the city of David, the Savior, which is Christ, the Lord.
"And thig shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will men."—St. Luke 2:8-14.
for the most of us triith Is'what^e truly believe. It Is the faith that Is In us, nnd Snnta Claus Is a faith, If not a fnct, und ao we sny af^aln thnt we ^^o believe In Saata Claus, says an ex- chnnge.
Take Santa Claus away from the children and you rob Christmas of half Its Joy. Grownup thouph we may be, we would rather hang up our stocking "the night before Chrlstmns" nnd find It bulging full of gifts In the dim Ught Chrlstmns morning, than to have a car¬ load come duly tied up nnd labeled, and delivered by the mailman. Who wouldn't? There is n lure In the mys¬ tery of Santa Claus thnt has endeared hlra to every childish heart, nnd so do not talie hlra away until you have something better to offer.

AFFLUENCE
Only Once a Year.
But how seldom Christmas comes— only once a year; and how soon It is over—a day nnd a night! If thut Is the whole of It, it seems not much more durable than the little toys one buys of a faker on the street corner.
But surely that need not and ought not to be the whole of Chrlstraas ; only a single day of generosity, ransomed from the dull servitude of a selflsh yenr. If every gift Is a token of per¬ sonal thought, a friendly feeling, and unselfi.sh interest in the Joy of others, then the thought, the feeling, the In¬ terest, mny remain nfter the gift is made.—Henry van Dyke.
Tfie gentle calm hpyond the «torta.~ These are the jtlfts I crave Above the blind world's treasure trov« Of gaud and gilt.
"^ho gives his better self the whole ywr
through aives life's own priceless gift to all th*
world and you—the gift divine.

HlB Fun.
"I don't believe In giving expensive ChrLstmas gifts."
"Neither do I, but It's a lot of fun expecting them."
Home Celebrations. "I believe In Christmas Day home celebrations; their friendliness, their mystery, their Joyous excitement; and in thi' feeling of security and peace a child has In the midst of tbem, writes a well-known authority. And I believe that the memory of child has of them flfty years later should still be strong and sweet."
Christmas Carols. Then arose a Joyous clamor, from the wild fowl on the mere, and a voice within cried, "Listen! Christmas ca¬ rols even herel"—Charles Kiagsley.
