A Card

Mary Baker Eddy

Beloved:— I ask this favor of all Christian Scientists: Do not send to me on, before, or after the forthcoming holidays aught material, except three tea jackets, — all may contribute to these. One learns to value material things only as one needs them; and the costliest things are those that one needs least. Among my present needs material, are these jackets. Two, of darkish, heavy silk, the shade appropriate to white hair. The third, of thick satin, lighter shade, but sufficiently sombre. Nos. 1 and 2 to be common-sense jackets for mother to work in, and not overtrimmed by any means. No. 3 for best, such as she can afford for her drawing-room.

Mary Baker Eddy.
