Economizing For Christmas.

There is touch Of humor in the petty
economies practiced by many men for
several weeks before Christmas. The
man who has been accustomed TO costly
lunches, and who invariably bestows a
substantial tip upon the waiter, about
this time of the year is likely to affect a
liking for luncheon consisting of "a
sandwich and piece Of pie. He does
not smoke quite so many cigars as for
merly and convinces himself that less
expensive weed is quite as satisfactory
as his favorite brand He does not fire.
quent the cafes as much as formerly,
and there is a noticeable lack of his
usual free hearted hospitality when he
encounters his friends in such places.
This strange parsimony which has come
over the man is not due to the fact that
he has met with financial misfortune,
nor that he has suddenly become sordid
and mean. He is merely economizing in
his expenses in order that he may have
more money with which to purchase
Christmas gifts for those he loves. 1t
may be wife or child, mother or sis.
ter, for whom he makes these sacrifices,
and there is no doubt that in the happi-
ness he brings to other hearts he will
find ample compensation for it all. The
Christmas season is marked by innumer.
able instances of self denial. New

The ChrIstlnas breakfast.

The main dish at the Christmas break
fast should be chicken, fried in the
southern fashion. Wash and cut up a
young chicken and let il lie in salt wa
ter for about half an hour. Cut up some
fat salt pork and fry it in pan until
the grease is extracted, but not Drowned.
Wipe the chicken dry. Pepper and
dredge with -four. Fry in the grease
until each piece is brown on both sides.
When the chicken is fried, pour a cup
of rich milk into the pan, thicken with
tablespoonful or -four and one of but
ter. Chop some parsley into it, boil up
once and pour over the chicken.
Potatoes la creme form an excellent
accompaniment to this Christmas dish.
Chop some cold boiled potatoes into o
boiling sauce made by mixing table
spoons of melted butter, little chopped
parsley, pepper, cup of rich milk and
a couple of spoons of -four.
Light, delicious mullins, a fiaky
omelette and the perfect coffee, without
which no breakfast is success, should
complete the Christmas breakfast. Sc

THE CARE OF GLOVES.
with Good Dressers It Amounts Almost
to an Art.

With Good Dressers 1t Amounts Almost
to an Art.
AS the afterwear of gloves depends
much on the way they are treated from
the very beginning, new gloves should
be put on most carefully. Those who
know say that you should never put on
gloves when you are in hurry and just
going out; rather choose another time,
when your hands are cool and you have
ten minutes or SO to devote to them.
Before beginning operations dust a lit
tie powder into each glove, for this will
cause them to slip on more easily.
Work the fingers well on before putting
in the thumbs; then work that in slow
ly, gradually smoothing the kid on to
the hand. When the glove is carefully
put on, pull it well down and button
the second button, and any others
there are, with the exception of the
first. Leave this first button until the
last. If the hands are hot remove the
gloves and then turn them inside out,
pulling them carefully into shape and
leaving them in the air for an hour or
two before putting them away.
In the preparation of new gloves for
wear glove-stretcher will be found of
the greatest assistance. This, however,
must be used with discretion, for
glove that is too large is quite as an
moving as one that is too small. 1t is
well in buying gloves to provide your
self with a spool of mending silk or
linen exactly the color of the gloves.
To clean gloves is not always easy
The gloves should not be allowed
20 become almost black with soil before
beginning the cleaning process. All
light gloves-especially white ones
can be cleaped in benzine or naphtha.
Wet one glove at a time, of course.
Dip IL into basin containing about a
cupful of the benzine, and shake II
and squeeze until some of the dirt Is
washed out. Then lay the glove on a
clean towel or piece of muslin, and
with muslin rag rub from the wrist
10 tho finger tips. When the glove Is
still moist pull gently on the hand and
rub again with a rag moistened In ben
zine, cleaning the finger tips, thumbs
and palm we'll. Remember that If you
want your gloves TO look at all well you
must always rub one way from the wrist
up toward the fingers. Repeat the same
process with the second glove, and
place the pair in the open air for an
hour or more, letting them rest on a
clean towel When they are thorough
ly aired, lay them away in violet or
hcliotrope orris, and your gloves, when
you are ready to wear them, will look
like new and will smell far sweeter
than when they were purchased

Christmas Customs OF the Druids.

The Druids had q very beautiful
custom which we moderns should imi-
tate in spirit. They cut the green trees
at this season Of the year and carried
them into their warm rooms in order to
protect the spirits Of the forest and the
streams from the winters frost and
death dealing winds. In the springtime
these spirits thus housed and sheltered
went out again TO reclothe the forest
with green foliage, to unlock the icy
streams and cover the face of the earth
with beauty and bread At this Christ
mas season Of peace and good will let
us provide home for the spirit of love,
of justice and of sympathy, that they
may be protected against the evil times,
the GOODNESS and selfshness of the
world, to go out again in the springtime
''to heal and soothe and bless. "-Ex-

The Yuletide Log.

In the Black mountains at the pres
ent day, the custom Of bearing home
the yule log is still carefully observed
in all its ancient detail. The house ia
ther fells the chosen trees; then he ut
tiers prayer and carefully lifts up his
log and bears it home on his shoulder
His sons follow his example, each bear
ing a log for himself. The father then
leans his log up against the house, be-
ing very careful that the freshly cut
end is uppermost; the lesser logs of the
other members surround it, and this is

great evil would befall the household.
The fagots of the old fire lighted the
new logs, and then were carefully ex-
tinguished and stored away among tho
household treasures. In the highlands
of Scotland to this day it is considered
great misfortune if the fire be allowed
to go out, and often have heard it
said, "Yae nae luck, ye've lect DOT the

CHRISTMAS EVE IN PARIS.
Forget and Forgive Is the Custom Mid
night Mass and the Family supper.

On Christmas eve in the homes of
Paris, when the children are fast asleep,
with the BONES to watch over Them
the older ones and the parents go TO the
grand high mass, lasting from 10 o'clock
till midnight. This is very solemn
service and is sung with great ceremo-
ny and with row upon row of white
yelled nuns, whose narrow belts of blue,
orange or red show their peculiar or
der, kneeling III the transept
just at midnight the mass ends, and
the altar boys snuff the tall candles.
Then the family returns, and there is
the reveillou, or the supper of waking
the one meal of the year at which
are gathered the brothers and sisters TO
the home of the oldest married child.
There are places for the grandparents,
too, and, if a child has been lately born
to swell the family circle, a seat of hon
or next the grandmere for its mother,
who is queen of the feast.
The supper" is great dinner, at
which good will is the order, where
are drunk innumerable glasses of harm
less, unintoxicatil g grape wine, and
where toasts are offered TO every con-
ceivable good luck, past and TO come.
AT the reveillon are discussed all the
affairs of the family. If during the year
the relations between two of its mem
bers have become strained, all is often
forgiven and forgotten i'll this family
love feast.
SO with toast and rally and story the
hours creep by until it is far into the
small hours, when the party breaks up

There is no more fascinating study to

quaint and pretty designs for all man
ner of things that one can use, in sill

For instance, who could imagine
anything more appropriate for cherries
and Strawberries than a silver fluted
dish, with a bunch of cherries, all in
silver, for a handle for the one, and a
strawberry bowl fashioned like a leaf
for the other?
Very attractive also is the grape

cheese and biscuit form one course at
every well-regulated dinner table, or

for their biscuit-and for these was de-

be used, however, except at the family

SHANE ON YOU

The editor Of the White River Journal
attempts to take the editor of this paper
to task for little paragraph printed in
our paper week or two ago concerning
bis vulgarity. He proceeds, with grave
mein, to tell story fully as obscene as
the paragraph formerly criticised; and,
having told it, he then offers explanation
as to the purpose OF the aforesaid first
paragraph-very wisely diviniDg that his
readers would never suspect what 1t
meant beyond denoting the writer's de-
sire to be nasty.
But Editor Musseter mistook our mood
when he discovered US to be indignant"
over the matter; We were only sorry that
he would use the columns OF an other
wise good newspaper in the publication
OF dirty yarns that would scarcely be re-
peated above whisper in a fourth-class
beer hall.
BY way OF drifting from the point at
issue in our criticism, however, the editor
of The Jourpal-who, We would like to
believe, feels very much ashamed for his
silly rudeness-reverts to a statement
found some weeks ago in these columns
to the effect that "our own dear Senator
Squirrels both an accident and an oddity,"
quoting the phrase from The Forums
article on the political character and
standing of the members Of the United
States senate. 1t was wholly political
discussion and had Editor Musseter not
befouled his mind with indecent thought
he would never have deceived himself
with the suspicion that there was mod.
icum OF evil in that phrase.
AS to whether or not Senator Squire is
'sealawag," the editor OF the Journal
has the same reason that we have to be-
leve he is--but he has not the courage
to tell the truth about.
