shown by the fashionable women who
regularly appear in the parks and public
drives with tiny dogs on their laps or

had never been anything greater than
assistant attorney general of his state.
PETER, of Kansas, was member of the
state legislature, as was Kyle, of South
Dakota. White, of Louisiana, had been
an associate justice of the state supreme
court.
Senator Hill has not yet taken his
seat, but when he comes l fancy he
will attract more attention than any of
the other new senators. Next to him in
popular interest, and now by all odds
the most talked of man in the chamber,
is hearty, frank, honest, bluff old Gen
eral Palmer, of Illinois. He is quite the
hero of the hour and is rapidly winning
his way to the hearts of his associates.
General Palmer is often spoken of as the
grand old man of the west, but he is
not so very old. Mr.. Morrill,, of YER

love wrought, or else chosen with care
full thought for the giver's taste or fam
cies. Indeed, many go SO far as to vote
costly gifts vulgar, unless in such cases
as they can be recognized as the pay
ment of debt impossible to discharge
in money.
Perfume and stationery, two things
heretofore almost staple at this gener-
Gus season, are quite out of fashion.
The fad is now for womankind to be
redolent only of good work and ex-
quisite cleanliness and to use paper in
some sort typical Of her individuality.
If scent is permitted it must be indi-
vidual as well-the more elusive and
delicate the better 1t is not uncommon
for women who can afford it to have
perfumes manufactured solely for
themselves, and to pay handsomely for
the privilege. These mice sharp
outlets" of the toilet no mere profane
outsider can find out, hence the decline
and fall of perfume and prepetrie. In
their stead you may buy ivory tablets,
silver clasped and bound in tortoise
shell. with the daintiest of silver chains
and pencils at the back. Old spoons,
also souvenir spoons, bon-bon spoons,
spoons silver-gilt and enameled, spoons
of olive wood, ivory spoons, with in
crustation of gold fligree, orange
spoons, coffee spoons, spoons of SO
many sorts, sizes, colors and conditions
that the memory Of them makes your
head swim. Those distinguished late
arrivals, Miss Ruth Cleveland and
Master John Jacob Astor, Jr., be-
sides being born with gold
spoons in their mouths, will, no
doubt, find enough in their Christmas
stockings to set them housekeeping if
need will. 1t is more than question
with me sometimes if those singularly
fortunate young people are not after all
rather unfortunate. Fate ordains that
for each it shall be Christmas all the
year. Consequently they will lack the
zest of anticipation, the keen delight of
unexpected gifts. If I were making
Scripture nowadays I would para
phrase. When much is given much is
also denied.
Some gift-making that ran across
the other day touched me more than a
little. In several of the shops you find
new candle-shades for which gorgeous
is a poor word. They are gigantic
roses, lilies, peoples and SO on, made of
rich crepey silk in the tenderest pinzs,
the most golden yellows, the most vivid
scarlets and gay crimsons. They are

Chiffon is true Texan. Tall, straight,

times in one battle, but he is pretty

fortunes and lost them, and is not too
old to make another.
PETER and his whiskers you have all

well. He is said to be the only man in
the senate who ever filed pulpit as
regularly, ordained minister. He
preached for three years, is Congrega-
tionalist and never misses prayer in the
senate chamber.
Villas is well to do man, but not as
rich as his colleague, Philetus Sawyer,

dollars during the last year. Villas and

younger. Palmer is seventy-four, but
he has the activity and the memory of a
man of fifty. He looks like a combina-
Eion of Uncle Sam and Allen G.. Thur
man, and a very wholesome American
face is his too.
The youngest of the new senators, in
fact the baby Of the senate, is Dubois.
He is only forty, and yet has been four
years in congress, besides holding other
offices before that. In his congressional
campaigns he used TO visit all the min
ing camps mounted on mule. At Yale
he was catcher for baseball nine, and
