MADAME ADAM,
The Journalist and Hostess Who Is so Well
known In the French Capital.

The Journalist and Hostess Who Is so Well
Known In the French Capital.
Nine. Adam is well known as a
journalist and authoress whose life is
devoted to the recognition of obscure
but genuine talent and whose salons
are famous for their assemblages of
brilliant men and women. Personally
Mime. Adam is charming woman,
sweet, cordial and genial, intensely in
terested in the great questions of the
day, and like all women who have sue
ceeded in esta blishing rendezvous
for choice spirits, she has a happy fac
ulty of calling forth the best and
brightest thoughts of even the most
constrained and silent guest. AS an
editress of the Nouvelle Revue she has
had and improved every opportunity to
encourage struggling genius, and is now
rejoicing over the recent election of
Pierre Lott to the academy. Lofts
triumph IS largely due to her energy
and protection and she takes a mater
nal interest in his welfare. Nine.
Adam will be better known to us in her
official capacity through the Light of
Paris, a new English paper which is to
be published in Paris by an American
lady, assisted by the famous editress of
the Nouvelle Review. Y. Sun.
Follow Her Example.
There is at least one young woman in
the country who has the courage of
her convictions. She is pretty, fashion
able, Is. Lately she invited young
man to go to the opera with her chap
erone and herself. He, in replying,
mentioned that he would have the car
riage at her house at a certain hour,
whereupon she wrote to him immediate
ly, begging that he would omit the car
riage: she and her chaperone were to
wear street costumes, and the cars were
quite good enough and much more rap
id, putting the matter in such way
that made it was impossible for him to
insist.
Many other young women would like
to be thus wisely kind if they knew
how or dared. They fear to offend the
sensitive pride of the young man for
whom they would be glad to make
things easy. The expense of the car
riage trip they understand as well as
anybody is disproportionate to the sal
AIRY received by most young men. They
lack, however, the courage to prevent
it.-Detroit Free Press.

The American Woman's Foot.

The average American woman's foot
wears No. 5. The woman who wears
No is considered to have a small foot.
The American foot has grown percept-
IDLY within few years. Women who
wore twos and even ones were not un-
common in the last generation. Wom-
en- walk more than they used to, and
their personal vanity has shifted from
their feet and is more generally dis
tributed throughout their frames. The
gain is immeasurable, both in comfort
and health.

Christmas kpborisas.

Christmas has gradually evolved out
of its theology and has come to stand
for festival of love. Therefore all men
love il, for throughout the universe
love is born of love and is worskped for
its OWE sake.
No conscientious person can enjoy
his Christmas dinner il he knows any,
body else within reach to be hungry.
The consciousness that. we hare given
food to the needy provides us with the
finest appetite.
OF late years Christmas has. become
far more a domestic and merrymalzing
holiday than a religious one. But it is
religious IN the best sense, since Il is a
day of peace and rest. and opens the
heart to human needs and human
sympatbies.
The most satisfactory way to observe
Christmas is to do at least one good act
to some of our fellows.
Christmas was formed. ia the,era of
theology, from Christ and mass. In
these practical and luxurious days it
might signify that we should; try to
initiate Christ in dealing with the mass
of mankind, who are usually more or
less unfortunate. BY so dealing with
them we should make all days Christ
mas days
Christmas is always associated with
the good Jesus, who, whether regarded
as God CT man, was the purest- Eindest,
nobelesS being that has walked the
earth. He has inspired love in saint
and sinner, in devotee and skeBtic alike.
Men may wrangle about creeds; but
about Jesus and His beautiful life there
can hardly be any difference Of opinion,
for He pitied all wIiosuffered and strUve
to heal every aching heart.-Mail and
EXpre.&

The Heaths had ledger, somewhat
peculiar middle-aged man, who for a
long time had rented their furnished
front room from week to week. and
who very sedulously minded his own
business.
The night before. however. after the
children were in bed he passed in a
large bundle labeled: For the best be-
haved little people ever knew" there

heart.
On this eventful morning, Mrs. Heath
said to her husband: Leonard, want
you to keep watch now, and if that
ledger shifts. as he passes through the
hall, in way as if he smelled some
thing agreeable, and as if he was
brought up where he had a grand
mother and friends, and a turkey on
days that brought the family together,
| will invite him to dinner. for every
family ought to entertain some one at
Christmas.
''All right" said Mr.. Heath, who was
one of those agreeable men who always
said ''all right" to anything his sensible
wife suggested. and he forthwith
stretched himself out on a lounge near
the open doorway of the narrow little
hall to watch for the appearance of the
ledger.
He came presently. They heard his
football on the stairs, and Mrs. Heath
ran to the lounge and seating herself

heard the ledger let himself in with his
latch key, but instead of going to his
own room as usual, he came directly
down the hall to their sitting-room and
ushered in Mary Jane, whom he intro
duced as his wife.

But the children were sent to bed

on the top of the pile az once caught

Mr.. Withers had taken the letter in
his hand, and the break IN his medita-
tions had been caused by the address it
bore, which was simply: Santa Claus,
ESQ"
''Huhl some toufoolery of the Office
boy, suppose" he continued. ''He
is always wasting my time. Let's see"
The letter read thus:

relaxed. When he reached the sigma

eyes.

As soon as the business of the morn
ing was disposed of, Mr.. Withers went
10 the toy-stores, and carefully filed
the commissions which had been in
trusted to Santa Claus by Sammy, and
the work gave him greater pleasure
than he had known in a long time.
He ordered the things to be delivered
that night at nine.
Mr.. Withers was unusually accessible
to his boys that night. He told them
stories, and he romped with them until
Sammy cried, gleefully:

old times we used to have"

fray ON the cuff of his Sunday coat.
She glanced up at the lonely man,
quite accidentally of course, just in time
to see his nose wrinkle, and a pleasant,
surprised expression steal over his usu-
ally grave face.
A vigorous sniff, sniff. sniff followed,
and. looking up and seeing the aniable
couple, he called out, heartily:
Good day, good day. A merry
Christmas to you. The turkey in your
oven is giving notice that you are New
England people. always thought the
smell especially of sage-seasoned dress
ing was very good part of a turkey
dinner"
Thanks for the children's gifts and
the invitation to dinner followed
promptly, and was as promptly ac-
cepted: but Mrs. Heath, being Il con-
scientious woman, could not appropriate
the eXtravagant praises of her dressing.
They were on such good terms with
the lodger by this time that she did
not hesitate to relate the history of the
turkey, and in the laugh that followed
Mary James card was produced and dis
played.
