\HE late Shopper is a prom
I iaent member of the Genus
' Procrastinatus.
He has his own peculiar
way of celebrating Christ
as. Often he celebrates it in bed,
tth a water bag on his chest and the
rip of an anxious physician around
is wrist. His eyes are closed and
is poor, warped brain is worn in a
in*.
On the floor beside his bed, torn to
ireds and bitten in numerous places,
es his Christmas list. The day be
>re Christmas he sallied forth with
its list in his hand and a look of
esperate determination on his fea
ires.
The Late Shopper is a cheerful giv
r, withal. He loves giving for its
wn sake, but he loves it better for
le sake of putting it off. Decidedly
e is no believer in the “Do-it-now"
tovemcnt. Nor is he selfish. It is
1st a habit. It is to be feared that
' he were dying of thirst he would
ut off giving himself a drink.
Philanthropists should find rest san
iiriums for Late Christmas Shoppers
—the kind that are incurable. Here
they could retire and nurse their
wounds, incurred in the last toy coun
ter rush.
How fortunate it is that Santa Claus
was not born a late shopper. He is
always on the job. and gets ready
for the holiday season months ahead,
we are reliably informed by the nurs
ery books. However, Santa Claus is
in constant danger of losing his repu
tation. There are hundreds of fond
Fathers who pose as Santa Claus to
their little broods, Papas who sally
forth to collect a bagful of toys just
when the stores are closing on Christ
mas eve, and the holly garlands art
being taken down, and the manager
of the dress goods department is get
ting ready to announce, “Spring and
Summer Styles."
The Hate Shoppers we have always
with us. As eleventh hour athletes
they take all the running, jumping
and line-plunging honors. Hut oftei
the Hate Shopper has one good marl
to his credit. He puts off giving a
all times, and therefore puts off gi'
ing a piece of his mind to his wife.
With joyful heart, on dainty toes.
Her eyes ashine, each cheek a rose,
Well laden with her presents goes
The Christmas maid.
In Santa’s task she claims a share,
And bears her gifts with thoughtful
care,
While Love attends her everywhere,
A willing aid.
Oh, Santa, take a friendly tip,
Unless you want to lose your grip,
Don’t let her make another trip
In all your days.
For she’s a vision, so complete,
So captivating, fair and sweet,
That she has got you surely beat
A hundred ways.
A GREAT DAY.
This is Christmas day, the an- !
niversary of the world's great- I
est event. To one day all the *
early world looked forward; to •
the same day the later world *
looks back. That day holds time J
together.—Alexander Smith.

DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS
When the Joy of Your Kiddies
Brings Tender Memories of
Years Ago.
In these strenuous shopping days,
writes I^ouis James, have you caught
yourself remembering suddenly, in all
sorts of queer, unexpected places, all
sorts of queer, half forgotten things?
Have you remembered how these days
before Christmas are the wonderful
days in the life of the child, more
wonderful days, perhaps, than any
that are to come?
You know that yourself. You can't
help recalling how time went by those
days before the great day. You re
member how each day seemed some
how more wonderful than the one be
fore, each day a prelude of real joy
to that first marvelous moment of
Christmas morning, when, after a
night of little if any sleep, you scram
bled up and stood breathless on the
threshold of the room which had been
forbidden you all those interminable
hours that went before.
The child you take with you through
the wonderlands of the modern toy
department wants what you did. The
little girl stops before the baby doll,
wide eyed, still with desire. The boy
stands flooded with happiness before
an ark in which is every imaginable
creation. You remember what a small
thing your own was, a fourth the size.
Rut his joy is no greater than yours.
He pushes toward the rocking horse
Now it runs by machinery, when once
you ran your own across the floor to
the imminent danger of total destruc
tion to persons and furniture that
might stand in the way. But Christ
mas day was your day. The day when
“don’t s" were not and you were king
or queen in your kingdom of toys.
You pass on to trains and there
again electricity is running them. You
pulled them yourself.
Then you catch the look on the face
of your boy. He is watching the huge
engine move slowly, smoothly along. It
passes under infinite tunnels and
bridges and over made hills that pre
sent intricate difficulties of passage.
Your tunnels were of chairs and the
table in your kitchen made a splen
did bridge to cross.
He turns to you, the child of this
twentieth century. His smile iB be
atific. He wants it—that train. He
never wanted anything so much be
fore. He never will again he la
sure.
And as you move away you smile, a
little sadly, a little gladly. You are
proud to be able to make him so
wonderfully happy, this child of yours,
but you are sure, too, that he Is no
happier than you wTere these same pre
Christmas days, those years before.
Change of Scenery.
The fool who rocked the boat will
now proceed to put on a set of cotton
whiskers and light the candles on the
