Useful Christmas Gifts.

Some years ago the job0ers and retailers
of dry goods conceived the clever idea Of
putting up as Christmas gifts cotton and
wooden dress goods In lengths sufficient
for the making Of a gown, writes Emma
NJ Hooper in a very practical article on
christmas In the Shops" 10 the December
Ladies Home journal.
What gift can be more acceptable to the
ever .saying mother than such dress
length In pretty soft gray, warm brown
or black mixed serge, hop-sacking, hen
rietts or bourette goods, with all of the
Innings included. neatly and daintily tied
upl Then, too, black silks and satns are
In fashion again, and from oljen times a
fsvorite present from IA thoughtful hus-
band has been best black silk"
As men know very little OF the value Of
dress matcrials | will tell them that Ii Is
not a~wise p"icy to pay less than one dol
lar and twenty five cents yard for black
silk, aud better 10 pay one dollar and a
hall or one dollar and seveuty-tiye cents
aud that sixteen yards are necessary.
Small boys Ike articles Of apparel, as
handkerchief~, Htckiies, suit Of clothes
Cr new hat, and tn. are certainly more
sensible presents than the pounds Of
sweets that children sre invited to consume
each Christmas

lu planning for Christmas festivities the
question Of table decorations is of real i'm
portance, therefore suggestions for a
unique and ar.istically- arranged daner-
table may be of service, writes Mrs NJ l.
Barber IN an article on Christmas Day
Decorations" in the December Ladies
Home Journal
The covers may he laid for as many as
may be desired. In the centre have a
square bed of holly, from the middle of
which there may rise small Christmas
tree suitably decorated At either end of
the table stand the candelabra, which for
this occasion should have red candles and
red shades. At each lady's place have a
corsage bouquet of bright red flowers tied
with red ribbon. and for the gentlemen
50ut0Hnieres of mistletoe.
Have suspended over the table little
above the tree large bell of red flowers
from the top Of which. reaching to each
plate, may hang red ribbons about an inch
wide, held in place by the weight of the
dinner card, which should be perforated
near the top, allowing the end of the
ribbon to pass through and tie In bow.
On the upper side of the card should be
written the guests name.

In power they had money enough in
spite Of the heavy foreign demand for
gold. There has been no change since
excepting in the men responsible for the
government. II people at home and
abroad have not equal confidence in
them and continue to draw gold below
the danger point. you must not blame
the republicans for il.
1T in a question he added. which
probably calls for legislstion and Ger
tainly demands the best wisdom of con

with il alone and chooses 10 meet crisis
without consulting congress, must have
phenomenal confidence in himself or
phenomenal lack of confidence in con-
gress.
But there can be no perma-
men and manufacturers can be
relived from the present uncer-
tainty. They are threatened with
radical changes both in currency. in the
tariff. our reciprocity arrangements, and
they pause till they know what the
changes are. In scarcely any other
country in the world would such de-
lay be possible.
