- Aunt Sally? Come here. I want to see you alone.

- More secrets, Betty? The house is full of them.

- Now the door is closed, we can talk.

- Aunt Sally, what can I give Mother for Christmas?

- Yes, and she just says all she wants from me is love and kisses.

- Well, I did hear her say she needed more stockings. How about getting her some of the lovely sheer ones we saw in the store today?

- Then I'll tell you what. I'll buy some and tell Mother I'll Lux them for her, every time she wears them.

- I'll buy a big box of Lux and give it to her with the stockings.

- Now, that's a real Christmas gift, Betty.
