The shops are full of very fine paper in
fancy qualities and colors of every descrip-
ton Dexterous handling and little prac-
tiee enable one to make charming articles
of this kind Lamp shades, boxes, little
wall pockets, letter cases, jewel trays-in-

use to which this may not be put. 1t
makes the daintiest boxes for confection
cry, and as some of it is quite strong
tiny Sits may be made in it and ribbons
interlaced and tied in bows. This is a
good plan in making these boxes to be
sent away, as the ribbons strengthen the
paper and prevent breaking.
Anybody who has the means may buy
gifts, of course but it is the present
wrought with infinite skill and patience
and paipstaking that represents most to
people of sentiment. Articles for the toilet
table are always acceptable, and bric-a
brac never goes amiss. Gloves, hosiery,
laces and the like may be given; also
handkerchief galore, for one rarely has
too many of them.
One of the prettiest possible gifts is a
half dozen handkerchief embroidered by
the donor with the name initial of the
person for whom they are intended. This
present is suitable for either man or wom
an, and there will be spare minutes
enough between now and Christmas in
which to do the embroidery. Cotton is
usually chosen in preference to linen
thread for this purpose.
A pretty pattern is given, the letter of
which, being simple, may be easily
changed, the same spray being used with
other plain initials JUDO CHOLLET.

to the fact that 1t is now time that the
train robbeE be recognized as q perm lament

The long list of train rebberies which
have occurred this year and the sections

prove conclusivefy that this form OF enter

James Eggleston, one of the directors OF

for the statement that his company Is send

the express cars which even dynamite will
fail to open. The other companies, he

Theodore F. Wood, treasurer and direct

there have been so many express rebberies
as lately He adds that il this sort of thing

So common have express robbsriss be-

| F. F. Flagg director OF the American

of crudeness and vulgarity, which impress

we'll arranged that the effect is remarka-

arranged in coil projecting outward from
the center of the back of the head. Toques

proportionate elaboration of the neck,
which is effected by the introduction Of
ruffies of black satin and chiffon, which
are very soft and very becoming, and
which establish desirable balance be-
tween the size of the head, neck and
shoulders, a matter that has been often
out of proportion to an almost ludicrous
extent. Toreador hats in black felt are
trimmed with big ribbon bows as well as
pompons at one side, and shepherd plaid

the modern train robbery Ia apparent. 1t
Is then seen how little gang of two or
three men, absolutely at the mercy of an
equal number as well armed as them
selves, stopped an express train and terror
lied perhaps hundreds of passengers while
they blew open the safe and made off with
their booty.
But the situation Is far from absurd as

He is not disposed to argue the bona f1des
Of the case with tall, lank man who has
the drop on him. He gives up his wealth
with alacrity and dispatch and is glad of
n chance to get off with his life.
Europeans may smile at the nerve of a
trainful of passengers who thus surrender
their wealth and at the supineness of ex-
press agents who give up the keys of the
safe, but it bears an entirely different aspect
when the train is stalled in some lonely
wood, where confederates are supposed to
be skulking behind every tree. There are
few such woods in Europe.
This Is the reason why train robberies
like that OF Aqua Greek are confined tc
America. The European countries are
thickly settled. Farmhouses are close to
each other. The train hardly leaves one
village boundary before Ii enters another.
The stations are near together, and assist
ance is at all times close at hand. The
various neighborhoods are 80 thiokly pop
ulated that gang of train robbers could
not make off with their booty. They
would all be surrounded and apprehended
within few hours.
Upon the other hand, the physical char
acteristics of railroad travel in the United
States afford. every opportunity for this
kind of lawlessnees. Towns and cities are
far apart. For hours at time the road
runs through wild and desolate country.
