The Poor civ
TreS

Let's have Il Christmas tree for
the poor children" proposed Nellie
Blunt to her five most intimate
friends, as the girls ate lunch to-
gcther.
"For which ones, we'uns or yu'-
ens?" mischieviously questioned Ira
Glenn.
"For ncither-for the Browns, the
Rodgers and the Golfers"
"But papa said we couldn't even
have Christmas tree for ourselves
this year, times arc so hard. How
are we going to have one for other
people ?" said pretty Susan Butler,
between mouthfuls Of biscuit and
jam.
"That's just it; we can't each
have IL Christmas tree, but it would
be too bad not to have single one
in Lithonia, SO let's give one togcth-
er to those children who have never
had Christmas tree in all their
lives. I bet Tommy Brown never
even heard of Santa Claus. And it
WON'T cost much," Nellie went on
eagerly, "for things that we'd turn
up our noses at, would make their
eyes shine. Why, girls, you don't
know how poor they are. In a lit
tie place like this, where everybody
seems to have about the same and be
pretty comfortably off, you haven't
an idea how two or three families
suffer. went down to the Browns
last week to see why the washing
hadn't been sent in. Mrs. Brow
was in bed and the five children
were crying and hungry. Mamma
told your mamma about it,. Bessie,
and of course our parents won't let
them really suffer, but can't we do
something to make those children
know what Christmas really is %
Nellie was an acknowledged lead
cr among the girls, and at the end
of her earnest little address, they
were all ready to heartily second her
plan.
"Shall we tell the boys?" was the
next question. There were some OBJ
jcctions; for girls dearly love to
have the glory of carrying a thing
through BY themselves; but tho boys
would be useful in getting the tree,
it was urged, and moreover, their
cast-away things would be wanted
for the poor children, 50 it was fin
ally decided that they should have a
share in the great undertaking.
That no time be lost, the teacher
was asked to request all the pupils
to remain after school, when Nellie

Care of Farming Implements.

Exchange.
The time of year has come when
it is necessary to prepare for the
"stormy blasts of the winter.
Nearly all good farmers have fig
urcd out by this time how they cX-

take proper care of their stock. A
few Of these, too, have sheds, where
they have already stored away their
farming implements so that they rs
well may be preserved in proper or
der for use next year. They have
been cleaned and oiled at the work.
ing points, and have been placed
under cover so that they may not
rust during the winter. These
thoughtful farmers will have their
machinery in good condition when
they wish to use it next spring, and
will have very few repairs to make,
and need not lose much time in get
ting this wcll-carcd- for machinery
ready for work.
But there are some farmers, some
of them pretty god farmers, too,
who have no sheds especially pro-
vidcd for their farm implements, or
having sheds, have no particular
rule storing away their machin-
cry aICer use. When mower or
reaper or a drill has done it's work
in the summer, they are little too
busy with other work to house it at
once, and 50 they leave these in the
field for a time until the leisure
time come to gather them up. Pro-
craStination and delay do their work
when nothing else is working, and
the reaper and mower and drills,
etc, are left just whore they were
last used until winter comes, and

few words, she made known her
plan, and thcn&told of the distress
of the Brown family, and pictured
the joyless lives of little Children
who never have any christmas, in
such simple, earnest way, that the
hearts of her listeners were touched,
and when she had finished, the boys
gave three cheers, long and hearty,
for Nellie and the poor childrcn's
Christmas tree. The teacher prom
iscd to aid in every way she could,
and the baby of the school offered to
give her prettiest doll, "'cause it's
leg was broke"
The enthusiasm ran high, and
that very afte"n noon, attic trunks
were ovcrhauled, toys were collected,
and mothers were besiesed by chill
dren eager to know if they might
give this or that.
The two weeks preceding Christ
mas were full of the busiest prepar-
alton. The girls not only dressed
dolls, but almost succeeded in MAX
ing new ores. They put heads on
hcadlcss bodies, painted fresh roses
in faded checks, iccurlcd the llaXcn
locks, and dressed their new crcatio S

demanded the use of hammer and
nails, instead of the needle. There
was so much to be done. There
were so many unexpected donations

continued to the hem of the skirt, uncon-
fined at the waist by belt of brown satin
which passes beneath and ties in front
with large rosette at the back.
The sleeves are of the same brown sa tin,
slashed on the outside of the arm toward
the back and showing the light gossamer
material through. A brown satin ribbon
goes around the neck, tying in a large
rosette at the back. This gown is the work
of a true artist.
Pique will take the place of duck this
summer and the coatee will supersede the

Capes will hold their own so long as our
sleeves remain expansive. A very hand
some cape lately imported is of dahlia vel
vet, falling in ample folds and lined with
satin and embroidered all over in van
dykes with jet.
Useful capes and mantles for the coming
season are being shown in dark crepon,
trimmed with cascades and filings of lace.
In some of the latest capes white Innings
are used, and cheaper ones are shown in
rich make of velvet, with large bows of
black satin or the shoulders, and these
are lined with colored glace and show the
latest novelties in cut and embroidery.
1t seems but yesterday that we were told
that we must all wear our hats and bon
nets as far back as possible, and now
comes the latest information from Paris
for spring and summer, and l will quote
from the fountain-head: 1.-The fashion of
wearing the hat off the head no longer
obtains among smart women, and the
eccentric picture hat will probably disap-
pear with this odious mode"
Everything will be placed well on the
head and perfectly straight. On the whole
the smaller shapes are likely to be the
most recherche headgear. One of the very
latest, and favorite idea for the crown of
a hat, is a large, shaded, loose petaled
rose, and where the trimming demands it
a stray leaf of the flower is lightly inter
posed. This season everything TO do with
| hats and bonnets runs in trio. Feathers
come in punches of three colors are COM
bined in the samestriple number, flowers
are grouped in threes, and sometimes the
brim of the hat is so arranged as to form
| three distinct pleats.
Another specially of spring millinery is
the size of the leaves and flowers. No one
can guess what the flower par excellence
is, for it is the hydrangea in all wearable
and available colors, but many tulips and
huge roses are being used.
The violets are already demode. The
