THE DAY OF DAYS
Christmas aoov* all others is the children's festi
val. The Babe of Bethlehem is its chief figure. Tr.t
story of the Star uni the YV;se Men :re~. the Eisi
>■ fseinated childhood through the ..ges. am Sir ..
Clause and his reindeer leads all legendary lore o: j
youth. Here is a fairy tale that coir.es true yea.'
after year, generation after generation, and cm
nearer grown-ups come so a realisation of me ■
accent and generous spirit of childhcod the i. sprier
must tbe.ir Christmas be.
The birth of Christ brought also the birth into
the world of the spirit of regard and cons, dera...
for our fellow beings, sympathy and aid in distress
Is substituted love for hate, generosity for selfish
ness and gave external evidence cf that inner life
in men that it is fenny hoped shall survive th
flesh.
It is the day ©f days to the human race, the day
on which we renew our youth, open our rearts ■ sr. i
pccietbooks i and think of others rather than our
selves. When good wishes and gvoa wid trams.ate-i
into good deeds bring 3 glow of unselfishness.
The celebration of Christmas this year as it ' as
last, will be tinged with sadness the worse over.
Even those countries least affected by the secure •'
of warfare, there must be a feeling that tr.e .-ea -
which are represented by Christanity have fallen
far share of realisation. Bat the day must e: n
1.hen ;he teachings cf the msec uc lowly carp.
of Nazareth wil ■ he heart, an. 1 less '
'ife arsi v.-jtk among men w'O above -. 1 s
and mists cf battlefields. The: -icy and river,
and woe will be banished from 1 a ffadrs. '.1

bide forever.
rHK PAS !NG OF GRANDPARENTS
—
(From Vogue)
A man is . old a# he fee's," contains more
troth t‘ pherisr.ts. The present generation 1
of American a ' has been robbed of its grand
pa rents. for the old lady and the old gcntlenuu
no longer sit bj the fire and spoil their grand
children. Grand other is off so a dance or a suf
frage meeting. hsle grandfather plays golf th"
whole season through. Grandmother's caps are si
drag on the iwrlwt. while grandfather's stick has
been banished to he garret. The old lady and her
husband feel a ten years younger "3 an their pc
rents felt at their age. It is no longer an impro
pri.ty for grand a rents to do the things one*
thought twenty years too young for them. T1
gT.'ndchfidnrv rorlly rfs. a delightful somethin
that genuine grrr.dpamrts used to contribute » ‘
domesttc life hr s:nr- -‘ oncuch. th-' ;■. --ten
haee no- abandened the traditional deference due
front voath to ate. It survives as a son of chiv
alrle t radii ion. trough how long it can survive in
so practical sc* ely r.s curs, who can guess ' Ter
haps the gr.md'ch-’hiren ’Vo it better than the grand
parents. It 5> -vater.tly absurd for all the fyoung
people of the he use to be constantly on t ie wv cb
for the comfort . -d s-vety of an old couple who de
cline to crov eld ar.d who come and go vish
briskness and • 'per hardly surpassed by yotst"
itself. Perhaps the fiction of venerating grand
parents will continue indefinitely. nn’ess. indeed
grea; grandparents shall take th,- place ot-.ce occu
pied by a year-it generation In American house
