CHRISTMAS CIR EMS.


Some suggestions ~ TO the Disposition
aud Arrangement of Them.
As q rule the branches of holly that bear
many branches upon them will not be SO
fresh and full of leaves as the others. Buy
a few branches that are well filed with
berries; then be generous with the greener
branches. Pile all but q few as fat as
possible, putting on top those having ber-
ries. Cover these with the plain branches,
and tie. When you get them home, sprinkle
well and place on the cellar floor. They will
keep fresh for a week or two. If you buy
laurel, put%the bunch in a pail of water
and sprinkle; then place in the cellar,
1t is best not to put up the decorations
until the afternoon before Christmas. The
halls, sitting room, dining room and library
are the most appropriate places for the
holly. Place large branches over mantels
and sideboard and some of the pictures.
Fill the fireplaces with large dishes con.
tanning holly and laurel, unless you are to
have a fire at once. Have long sprays OF
English ivy in small, wide mouthed bot
ties which can be hung behind picture
frames. Irvine the ivy around the sup
porting wires and the frames. Do not hang
the greens near a fire or over a register.
They curl and wilt very quickly when ex-
posed to dry heat,
At least a week before Christmas get at
the florists about fifty cents worth of the
green stuff called Wandering Jew.n This
will fill several bowls and vases. Arrange
it gracefully in the various dishes and fill
with water. After wiping the outside OF
the receptacles perfectly dry, place on the
corners of mantels, bookcases, etc. Change
the water every other day. To do this do
not disturb the plants; simply hold the
vase under the faucet and let the fresh wa
ter run until all the old is displaced. In a
weeks time the vines will have grown into
a graceful, luxuriant mass, and with care
they can be kept in this condition for
months.
Smilax, asparagus, fern and other deli
cate vines can be used for pictures and
statuary; but the expense puts them out of
the reach of the majority Of people. There
is a hardy wild fern which all florists keep
now and sell for about ten cents q dozen
sprays. Buy a few dozen of these and
place them on the cellar floor. Sprinkle
well and they will keep for weeks. A large
bowl filled with these and a few flowers
will make an effective piece for the center
of the dinner table; or the bowl can be
placed on a low table in any of the rooms.
These suggestions are for people with mod
est purses.-Maria Parloai in Ladies' Home
Journal.

a Legend of the nristIetoe.

The Scandinavian legends warn us that
the mistletoe has fatal properties to ali
who touch the sap in plucking its lunches
Far away in the north, upon a lonely
mountain top, there dwelt a few peasant
families An inmate of one of the lowly
dwellings was a young girl-lovely, loving,
beloved by and betrothed to her next
neighbor-as sturdy peasant lad. The young
girl fell sick. To restore her to health hei
lover sought near and far for the precious
mistietoe growing upon an oak. At length
his search was rewarded. Upon a snow
clad oak the coveted punches hung in gen.
erous ~profusion. With eager, reckless
haste, forgetful of his own danger, he
climbed the oak, seized the life giving OF
death dealing plant, as handled, and fell
llfeless to the ground.
A legend Of the cruci1xion, full of pathos
and beauty, tells the origin of the missile.
toe IN its concluding words as follows:
Ever since that day the tree from which
the cross was hewn has never been suffered
to grow as, a tree, but only exists as a para,
site on other trees.
1t Is neither fruit nor flower, but bears
clusters OF waxy white berries, and saps
the life OF any tree to which it attaches
itself. 1t is called "the mistletoe. New

WORKING FOR THE DESTITUTE.
These r q few Of the good works
in which the Chicago girl is employed.
This is the way the rich and the for
tunate are trying to help the poor
and the friendless. "A woman is a
wotnan's worst enemy' finds in her
speech and deeds q daily and hourly
negative. and it also suggests the
question;-"What are her brothers
doing for their fellow-brothers of
penury and toll?
There are, of course, many who do
not employ their leisure. They are
absorbed in the dreams and hopes
that fill most young souls; looking
forward, in their radiant dreams, to
the possession of home, husband and
children, the house over which they
will preside and into which all their
cherished possessions will be gath
cred. As the years pass they will
learn that what they hoped for is not
experienced; that sorrow and misfor-
tune and bereavement come. Then
that which is best and noblest in
their nature asserts itself. The dis
couraged husband is cheered and in
spired TO new effort. He is made to
realize that so long as love and health
remain none need despair, and the
source of his strength and his conso-
lation is in that weaker creature
whom be has vowed to cherish and
protect, but who in reality cherishes
and protects him. She accepts the
remnants of his fortune after the dis
aster has been weathered and read
justs her changed social conditions,
and SO contrives a new home as cheer
full and nearly rs comfortable and
quite as attractive as the old. She
plans, manages, economies and even
develops unsupported business talent.
and rs q wage-earner adds to the
actual revenue. In adversely she is
full of courage; in the face of ap-
parent failure she ordains success; out
of shattered fragments of fortune and
happiness she pieces together at least
some semblance of prosperity and
contentment. Having suffered her
self, she feels and appreciates and I'M
derstands the sufferings of others.
Her strong hand having lifted those
near and dear to her up out of ruin
and defeat it is extended to others,
who. though unknown, are neither
aliens nor strangers.
Chicago is full of such women-the
matrons and middle-aged spinster
today, who were the girls only yes
terday. The stock has not been
deteriorated, nor has the type been
broken Or destroyed. 1t survives in
the fullness of its powers. and what
has been accomplished in the past is
only a premonition of things guaran-
teed for the future. The coming
Chicago girl will think, plan and do
as she has never done before, and
when she m into her kingdom
there will be clean streets, pure water,
good public service, and that NUM-
cipal good housekeeping which is now
restricted to the home yer which she
rules.

A Christmas Song.

Come wealth or want, come good or Ill,
Let young and old accept their part,
And bow before the Awful Will,
And pear it with an honest heart.
Who misses or who wins the prize,
Go, lose or conquer as you can:
But il you fail or if you rise,
Be each, pray God, q gentleman.
A gentleman, or old or young
Clear kindly with my humble laysl,
The sacred chorus first was sung
Upon the first OF Christmas days.
b shepherds heard it overhead
The Joyful angels raised it then.
Glory to heaven on high, it said,
And peace on earth to gentle men.
MY song, save this, is little worth;
lay the weary pen aside,
And wish you health and love and mirth.
AS fits the solemn Christmastide,
AS fits the holy Christmas birth.
Be this, good friends our carol still
Be peace on earth, be peace on earth,
To men of gentle will.
-~Thackeray.

Tho Roman Cnrlstmas.

Of O
The little Roman boy watches with de-
light the preparation for the befana in the
public squares of Rome, for. the befana
is the witch who rides on a broomstick.
She is a female Santa Claus who brings
presents to a good child and a bunch of
rods to a bad one. Her worship is cele-
brated on Christmas eve to the noisy sound
of trumpets and all manner of unearthly
noises. Then the boy goes to the Church
of st. Augustine to see the little Jesus
child lying on the lap of it's holy mother.
He hears the most charming music and
singing choristers swinging the censer be-
fore the host, while above his head
Michael fights with the dragon.
The little Roman sees the splendid pro-
cession of the cardinals in their gorgeous
red and white robes, as he goes down the
broad marble steps on each side of which
beautiful statues stand in inches. His
mother, poor Dominica, peasant of the
Campagna, kneels and makes the sign of
the cross and tells her boy that this is
Christmas, the day on which the Jesus
child was born to take his sins away.
Again he wanders with her through the
market place. Every one gives him play
things, fruits and cakes, and q rich for.
eigner losses him a lire.
The little Antonio asks her why, and his
mother tells him it is Christmas, but not
SO gay as when she was a little girl, for
then the "pifferari"-the shepherds from
the mountains-came in their short cloaks,
with ribbons round their pointed hats, to
play on their bazpipes before every image
of the Virgin. Then they go again to the
church-the beautiful Church of Ava Celi
to hear the ''angel girls' make Christmas
speeches to welcome the little Christ child,
and as he looks at the image of the Ma
donna, all hung with jewels, he wishes it
were Christmas all the year round.-Phila-
delphia Press.
