He's home from great college too;
He said so, just now, in the parlor,
There's nothing woman can do'"
hMy wee little lassie, my darling"
Said I, putting back her soft hair.
"I want you, my dear little maiden,
To smooth away all mothers care,
"Is there nothing you can do my darlings

And there is a secret, my Mary,
Perhaps you may learn it some day
The hand that is willing and loving
Will do the most work on the way.

The work that 50 many ne'er do,
The great work of making folks happy
Can be done by a lassie like youp'-

REGAL MERRY MAKING.

Queen Victoria is not avefse TO play
ing Santa Claus. The older she gets
the brighter she wants the Yule logs
to burn and the merrier to flow the
Christmas joy. Her Royal Highness
even spends days in the London shops,
generally in company with Lady
Biddulph, and, unrecognized, searches
FOR knickkna:ks which may give plea
sure to others, for she not only per-
sonally selects presents for each rela-
tioD at home and abroad, but or her
Court and its encourage, and possesses
the marvellous faculty If discerning just
what each recipient would most ap-
preciate. In this arduous task the
Queen is much helped by Princess
Beatrice, whose clear judgment and
capacity for attention to detail make
her invaluable in small as in weighty
matters. Think what brave array
of bric-a-brac, jewelry, toys, and
souvenirs, Balmoral must have ''the
night before Christmas.
~.
Those who enjoy the Christmas sea-
son and give for the joy of giving are
lowering around counters and show
cases as thickly as bees cling to ripe
red clover. For there are hundreds of
pretty tnties to choose from and never
before we're there such opportunities to
get so much for so little money.
~
Oddly enough. it. is women of Jim
tied means who look to the durability
Of gifts, and often are tempted to spend
more money than they can we'll afford
rather than to select something which
they condsider shoddy.
~
Members of the 400" are less parti-
cular and look out for show rather than
wear.
-
For purses which are so thin that
$l.00 must buy four gifts, the subject of
Christmas shopping is perplexing.
IS
The woman who gives her friends
presents which no person in their right
minds would think of using is net the
woman whose name is praised at Christ
mas. A bangle, however pretty, is not
as suitable for gray haired matron as
fichu; desk appointments, however
delightful, ,are apt to pail upon the man
who has been engaged in literary labors
for forty years and whose desk seldom

Umbrellas are almost invariably USE

for the same reason liandkerchiefs,

CEN>URE GOES WITH A PERMIT.
specifications for University Plumbing
lhanved hX Permission

The board Of health at a special meet
ing yesterday afternoon in the Office of
Health Officer Palmer granted permission
to Kaufman Bros, who have the plumb
ing contract for the state university. to
connect the laboratory with the main
sewer by means of a vitrified tile pipe
instead of an iron pipe, as the contract
requires. The permission was granted at
request of the board OF regents. and
Prof Edwards, professor of chemistry
and physics, who stated that iron pipe
would be impracticable on account of the
acid corroding.
The board censured the plumbers Sc
verely for going ahead with the work Of
laying the vitrifed pipe without first OBJ
tanning a permit in compliance with a
city ordinance which makes il impera
tive TO secure a permit TO change any
specified kind of pipe after the contract
is once made. Rautmans' worst breach
was in advertising for bids for the work
of changing the pipe and going ahead
with 1t when they we'll knew the require
ments OF the city ordinance.
