The Mysterious Urge of Christmas
gS|W& ''
No matter how old and far out of the world's dust and confusion we are, not one of us can help but feel it.
gtSis in the air! To feel the urge is a sign that we are i not as dead as sometimes we think we are. v
|No one can fairly say, "I am done with Christmas" until none are left of kindred and neighbors to be made
^Happier for a kindly.thought.
j|Granting it to be true that there are ungrateful people in the world, it still remains possible for us to realize
ton|6hristmas morning a feeling that will speak out within us, saying, "I certainly feel better myself if no
[other does for having sent that Christmas token to that old relative or friend."
. SIt will take not more than a half hour of time to select a Christmas Gift at Hartley's, for there never was a
[Christmas time when it was so easy to find suitable things, and so many of them, or such a large variety to
choose from, as this season., v ?
The store gets bigger in its knowledge of the world's productions, and in its courage to gather them for mu
ual advantage.
