It is possible to give wedding presents,birthday and Christmas presents,without any thought of affection at all,they can be ordered by postcard;but the unbirthday present give the nicest care.It is therefore the best of all and it is the only kind to which the golden rule of present-giving imperatively applies-the golden rule which insists that you must never give anything to any person that you would not rather keep;nothing that does not cost you a pang to part from.It would be nice if this rule governed the choice also of other three varieties of gifts,but they can be less exacting.
