To deprive the: children of the family of the nconstomed sled, doll, 'teddy| bear or a pair of skates is a needless bit of oruolty. «- Ib may bo. said, however, that there is & grain of truth in the. charge that. 6r ifit regarded in tho light of a pe- onliarly family, affair, Receiving presents onrries a corn-amending abli- gntion to 'reciprocaté, not., only in| kind but in cost, which in many cases makes Stringent cconomy necessary long after tho Lyons holiday is pagséd. It was to meet such conditions that our amusing friend, Mr. Dooley, sug- geated the formation of a pool, with membership fees to bo applied to the porghase of a gold watch, which Mr. A. would préjent to-Mr. B., Mr. B. to Mr. O. and Mr, 0. to Mr, D.

But - whatever charges may - be brought against 'the practice of \ UObpristmas giving wo cannot escape the fact that the day belongs to the children and yet in some way it is a piece ~of cruelty to children. For weeks before Obristmas many fac- tories are run andor great: pressure. To prepare even the boxes and can dies for trees and UOhristmas presetts in many box and candy factories children are rushed in and put to work at nerve-racking tasks for long fours, often running until 8 o'clock or even later in tho evening. In the stores extra helpers, many of them children, are taken in to work in tha hustle and confasion, often overheat» ed or chilled, and it will take weeks afterward to get rested and toned up again. ' The letters printed in the city pa- pors from the little folks in the orphan asylums, and other children, to '\'San- ta Claus'' are very pathctio. A marked feature among them is asking that little brother or sister and even grandfather and grandmother will be remembered. - It shows conclusively that in some way they have been taught tho beauty and comfort of unselfishness.
