| of kissing games and kindred things, and
| finds a good word for the society" reporter
| on the daily newspapers. Mr. Howells, in
the Study, is also in Christmas mood, and
discusses Christmas literature amiably. The
| DraWer, invariably in merry frame Of
mind, is merrier than usual. Yet Mr.. War
ner expresses the hope that the preseut-giv
| ing business will not be allowed to grow Sc
large that it will presently have to be organ
ing stories, verses, and sketches both with
! en- and pencil. Mention must be made o
the capital full-page sketch by Du Maurier
which shows how times change and women
change with Them.
