At no time during the ear docs the problem of getting along on only twenty-four hours In a day, seven days in a wieek, seem so aeute as In the fortnight preceding Christmas. Much has been said about the shortage of mon. ey at this season, when ones fMends and relathes are more numerous than ones dollars; but the shortage of time is just as pressing.

There's more fun and exercise when the snow Is so deep we have to haul the trt to tho road on sleds. Thl yetr we won't need sleds, but we 4o need something we haven't (ot, an extra Saturday, so that the boys and girls can Co.
