We are trying to rush our work up
so that we can find time to do our
Christmas shopping. Ordinarily we
can trade in the shortest possible time,
bait when it comes to buying Christ-
ina*. presents we have to use discre-
tion in the dissipation of our six bits.
An aim in life is the only for-
tune' worth the finding; and it
is not to be found in foreign
lands, but in the heart itself.

THE BEST. ,
Remember that delightfully clever
story by Mary Roberts Rineheart that
appeared some time ago iu the Satur-
day Evening Post? “Twenty-three* and
a Half Hours’ ‘Leave” was the name
of it. Sure, you remember it, for even
if you didn’t read it, you heard all
your friends talking about it.
It was about a rookie sergeant who
made a bet that he would have break-
fast with the general. And he had
23M* hours to accomplish his purpose
When he started he tydn't have the
faintest idea how he was going to get
away with it. But he did it, and won
the general's daughter besides.
Well, Thomas H. Ince has made a
corking picture out of it. It is exactly
the right medium with which to in-
troduce his two new stars, Douglas
MacLean and Doris May, whom you
have probably read about. It gives
them both excellent parts. We are
showing it tonighL The picture is a
Paramount-Artcraft, made under Ince
supervision. You will enjoy it more
even than you enjoyed the 3tory, which
is saying a lot, isn’t it? ;

artist swings Into a serious mood.
Though sometimes sorrowful,
this is not depressing; for it mere- '■
ly gives an air to the Christmas
season that is entirely human.
Strange,. too, how brave some
souls can be when they know that
the holly, the laughing, surging
crowds and the shop windows are
something apart from them.
Familiar enough is the less se-
rious scene where the little'girl
pauses by the window to gaze in-
tently upon something she likes,
but knows she can not have, only
to be tugged away by the sympa*-
thetlc mother—and the little girl
tries hard not* to Show how un-
happy she feels. But the scene
that touches one’s heart is when
the woman who stops at a toy
counter gazes for a long time at
solhe one object only to remark
to her companion:
“That to just what he used to '
like. And we had planned to buy
him one this Christmas. I wish
Santa Claus could see hhn—I wish
I could see him, too.”
Then the Woman who is shop-
ping and contemplating the joy-
ous Christmas that might have
been, suddenly stops and fumbles
with the package in her hand.
Her eyes are wet, and she is try-
ing to tarn her head away so that
the others may hot see her.
It is because this woman—and
the many others like her—are try-
ing to be so brave under their
heavy burdens, th^t we stop to
wish them a happy Christmas.
A simple “merry" Christmas would
not be in keeping with their
thoughts.
• —Temple Daily Telegram.
A sympathetic story, and yet, do you
know, beloved, that only those who
have felt heartaches and whw have
known sorrow can fully appreciate the
meaning of Christmas? Those who
have all that the world can give them,
and who are enabled to buy without
limit and who live on the surface, miss
the very spirit of Christmas. The
writer, as a member of the ‘Herald
staff, has been working with the
Christinas Good Fellow Fund for the
past twenty years, and has been
rather observant in many things in
connection with Christmas observance,
and he has found out that those who,
as a rule, respond to parity calls
quickest are those who have at some
time in their life tasted the dregs of
disappointment or sorrow.
, If you" are of the frivolous class you
may indeed envy those who see a
ijeart and soul and message in Christ-
mas.

This would be a wonderful world if
the Christmas spirit could prevail all
the time. Still, there are people even
at this time who spend all their time
figuring on what they are going lo get,
and none on what they can give.

Please, Doctor, Make Us Pretty!
Dr. Seymour Oppenheimer of New
York writes to the Medical Record ex-
pressing the hope that the long strides
made in what is called “cosmetic” sur-
gery during the war may not be lost
to the civil population.
He says that this surgery for the
sole purpose of beautifying ugly per-
sons was always conM&ered “rather a
shady business” in which no reputable
surgeon would engage.
But there are so many ugly faces
and their beautification would make
their owners happy, some surgeon the
richer by a fee, and the world at large
happier for not being obliged to look

young things this Christmas. Having
said this, we want to explain what

plied to pretty young cheeks; in fact,
we will say that we think such applica-
tion is often advantageous, just as the
great world war showed the wonderful
advantage of camouflage. But, with
several million other voters in beauty
contests, we do hate to see one -’of
