Fanciful fruit knives, forks and spoons

novelty.
Bonbon dishes and spoons are now re-

the demand for these dishes, which are in

of pierced work and silver gilt.
Jeweled pins and brooches of all sorts in

THE cHR1srMAs TIDE.

ALL over the land there are happy
children at Christmas time, for Christ
mas is especially childhood's festival
Twenty tho ,sand children will De
treated to cake, candy and fruit, IN
the Madison Square Garden, Ne"
York, on Christmas afternoon. There
will be tons Of candy, and barrels and
barrels of apples and cakes, and as each
child passes the gate it will receive Its
gift. This is one of our Nineteenth
Century modes of expressing Inc
good will'' which the angel an
nounced as the heritage OF mankind,
on that first Christmas morning over
eighteen hundred years ago. Ii those
people who think the world grows
harder and colder and more selfish as
it grows older, would go for few
days. al this season, to any one OF our
large cities and look upon the wide
spread charity of the many organiza-
tions, institutions, business firms and
private individuals, they might be
cured Of their pessimism. The scene
in Madison Square will be many times
repeated in various parts of all our
great cities. There will be Christmas
dinners for boot blacks, festivals for
newsboys, and carloads of toys, dolls,
clothing and provisions for the chill
dren of poor homes where want and
destitution are frequent guests. 1t is
the special aim of all these messen-
gers of love and place to reach
every city waif and foundling, and
every case of need whether old or
young. Oh blessed Christmas tide J
Never IN the history of the world was
there such general and generous CIV
ing. Our Christmas presents are. only
the symbols or shadows of that greater
gift, for the greatest Of all gifts is the
coming ofthe Christ Child, and as long
as listening childhood hears the Won
derful story of the Babe of Bethlehem,
the truth Of the gospel will find its
way to the hearts of men. That first
Christmas carol which angel voices
sang to the listening shepherds over
eighteen hundred years ago, has been
sung through all succeeding ages, till
now it ills The whole world, and the
multitudes of earth take up the glad
refrain of "Glory to God IN the high
est, on earth peace, goodwill to men,"
