Christmas has passed. There has
been nothing 70 distinguish it from
other ChristniaSeS. except that perhaps
there was less of winter to mark its adj
vent than is the established rule. There
were the same gatherings of families
about the home table, the same jolly,
laughing crowds of little folks, only
more OF them, and the same happy and
Contented Old people. only little older.
Christmas brings with it joys known at
no other season OF the year. Under the
privilege created by the overhanging
Spig of mistletoe man may steal kiss
from lips far beyond his reach under
ordinary circumstances. To the young
people though, Christmas means the
most. The Christmas tree, the early
morning explorations OF tiny stockings,
the blazing plum pudding. the snap
dragons, aud all the rest of the holiday
lingerie, mean everything to them, and
the close of tbe day brings regret for its
rapid flight.
And now for the New Year. All the
fellows who make practice of taking
VOWS on New Years day, are just now
bracing themselves for the trial Of
course the resolutions anent smoking
and other little vices of the sort. will
only last few weeks from the day they
are framed. but nevertheless people will
swear off with impressive soIemnitY. 1t
is good thing for the tobacco trade
that New Years resolutions are not
usually lasting. or growers of the
fragrant weed would find it necessary

however, that although New Years
resolutions have been made every wear
since time immemOrial. the cOnsump-
ton of tobacco has increased with every
year in satisfactory degree.
The custom of making and receiving
New Years calls has fallen into disre-
pUte for some reason or other-at least
II is not nearly so generally observed as
Ii was years ago. Still there are many
tor whom the round of visiting has re-
tanned its charm, and it is probable that
the one-time custom will be observed to
q considerable extent in st. Paul next
Thursday.
Two very prominent events of the
week were receptions given by the
NuShka club. Just as its bal masque

club rendered a reception to Mrs. Stock
ton, which was brilliant affair. The

of carnival and winter sports, among

insignia shOne pre-eminent. Mrs. Stock
tons gown was of white brOcade: Miss
Finch's of white tulle. Both ladies are
