pare very much appreciated souvenirs by
arranging a box with the name of the re-
cipient upon the cover
One caterer OF candy has order for 500
of these boxes. They are size larger than
we,iding-cake boxes. and are covered with
rel figured silk or satin. The top is white
satin. Upon it is lettered in gold:
MT. J. Worthington Worth, Chocolate
avenue, Swcetvillc, 1885,
Below is a Happy New Year greeting.
Inside are the sweets filled with tipple
generally. Branded candies are the IA
vorite, despite the scare about the in
toxicating candies.
Informality is the feature of New Year
calls. Formal ones are depressing. The
New Year will bring enough of them.
New Years Day should have none. The
utmost jolity is the rule, and the New Year
hostess who succeeds in making her guests
feel as if they were actually at home sue
cceds the hest, for this is what the New
Year call typifies-''As many homes as a
man has friends"

A Bicycle. AIitt.

A bicyclist Of Grand Rapids, Mich, has
invented and patented an odd kind OF BIZ
cycle mitt for protecting the hands Of a
rider during cold weather, and yet leaving
the hand free from clumsy glove castings, so
that the handles may be grasped easily and
free use of the fingers be had. The device
is n kind Of bell or cone of felt woven in
one piece, the smaller end fitting tightly
on the handle bar just behind the handle
proper. It is loose enough to permit OF the
hand being easily slipped inside to grasp
the handle. yet fits closely enough TO af-
ford all the warmth required. The inventor
claims that this makes riding possible and
pleasurable in the coolest weather.

No Kissing In Janan.

6 TRANCE as 1T may appear, q kiss IL
an unknown thing in Japan; not un-
known to the gay maidens OF Yokohama,
Kobe, or Nagasaki, who have SO much to
do for the amusement of foreigners. but
unknown to the Japanese in general. A
lover never kisses his sweetheart, a mother
never kisses her child.
He made great mistake. the man who
wrote that a kiss is natures volapuk, the
universal language of love- You can kiss
any Japanese girl; she will not object,
for she cannot possibly understand what you
mean. She will only think, what queer
people these foreigners are"

A IOng-Felt Want.

EVERY cook knows the evaporation with
which she watches a spoon slip down
into the dish whose contents she is stirring.
A little invention has overcome that ten
dency. 1t is a tablespoon with a slit in the
handle, which form a sort OF hook. BY
this the spoon will catch on the edge of the
pan, and be in no danger of beingsubinereed.
They are sold at Il ,rifling price, and really
fill the old long felt want agrin.
