How Society People Go 8 Theeling-At-
 tending Grooms and Maids.
 The form" of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grooms on wheels must follow their mistresses as they did on horseback; it is probably only ques- tion of short time when the lady's maid will have to include wheeling with her other accomplishments to secure a situation. On tine road the woman who wishes to ride la mode has to know a number of little things that are over looked by another woman, just as the smart set have a code for riding and driving that is as memorable as that they should not eat with their. knives or put sugar on oysters. Society in- sists on an upright position, with, of course, no attempt at racing pace. It also frowns upon constant ringing of the bell-that will do for the vulgar herd who delight in noise; the well-in- formed wheelwoman keeps eyes and ears alert and touches her bell rarely.

The influence of forests in nrotect;no O the water supply is well illustrated in the case of Greece. In ancient days she possessed 7,500,000 acres of forest. To- day she has hardly 100000 acres, and the scarcity of water and other iniuri- ous climatic effects are traceable to the destruction of the trees.

afternoon fifty or sixty mothers with
their very little children found their
way to the City Mission hall to enjoy
the first of the Christmas exercises

was for the children six years old and
Younger, too small to be left at home

Stocks Were Very Dull and Irregular
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
New York, Dec. 23.-Stocks to-day
We're dull and irregular. The opening
of the market was rather weak, but the
losses, except in the case of Lake
Shore, which declined point, were in
significant. Toward II o'clock the
market took on firmer tone the semi
official denial that the Delaware and
Hudson company intended to reduce
ahe rate of dividends during the COM
ing year,
There was no further additional un-
favorable news for the west and this
also had a strengthening influence. A
recovery of 2ss per cent. followed in
Delaware and Hudson, and the general
list advanced AQ2B per cent, the lat
ter in Tobacco, which rose to 1875 on
stories that the directors intended to
declare a dividend of 2 per cent, and
retire the scrip.
This report was subsequently denied
and the stock sold off to 78A In the
afternoon the higher priced Wander
blltS ouuuGliy NtCIiSu GA psi SGllt
for Lake Shore, to 152%, and "a for
New York Central, to 92A.
The weakness in these stocks was
attributed to the disappointment felt
by holders on account of the unexpect-
ed reduction in the Canada Southern
dividend yesterday.
The heaviness of the Vanderbilts nat
urally had an infavorable influence on
the general list and the market except
for the anthracite had a tendency to
sag throughout the afternoon session.
Speculation closed dull but Irregular
Net changes show but slight changes

however, gained 2, and Tobacco ri,

THE MERRY CHRISTMAS TIME.

Many Homes to Be Frightened and
Made Joyous Owing to Kind Efforts
BY Ladies' Societies and Individual
Effort.
"a Merry Christmas" and like ex-
pressions are now being heard on all
sides and the heart must be cold and
inert indeed that does not respond with
a rejuvenated throb to the magic joy
Gus words. A time of secular festivi-
ties and pleasure is one of the feast's
technical meanings and yet to the
greater portion of humanity apparently
the term seems a misnomer. Is it not
a fact that to very few do the holidays
mean rest and recreation. Certainly to
the clerks in the shops, the merchants,
ministers and housewives and many
others it means added labor for several
days before and after the birth of the
New Year, for. holiday preparations re-
quire mental IND bodily labor.
The tax on ones brain, in trying to
think of something to bestow on this
one and that one and the misery of
waiting ones turn in the jostling ell
bowling crowd at the big stores to make
the purchase and the tedious wait for
change will, however, soon be thing
of the past and the mind will soon re-
gain it's normal tone and with the
many little bodily aches alleviated,
Christmas in all its glory Will dawn
upon us and we revel in its sanctity
and beauty Satisfaction is, however,
derived in a greater degree and our
own brief holiday made doubly pleas
ant, when we are conscious of having
assisted in making others happy.
A few days ago insone of the New
Haven stores was picture of a woman
in her attic home with her three little
children fast asleep in their humble
beds. Hanging on the mansle were
three little empty stockings placed
there by the babes, despite the solemn
affirmation of the mother that no
Santa Claus would visit such poor
abode. The mother stood gazing at
them with a look that would appeal
to the hardest heart. The picture
would be unbearable in its awful sad
ness were it not for an angel in human
guise carrying a basket laden with
good things awaiting an entrance to
the lowly dwelling In real life, in not
one, but many houses, will this touch
ing picture be reproduced, the good
angel being enacted by many of our
maids and matrons. To be sure they
will not go from door to door, but they
have made sure that many heart and
home that otherwise would have beer
sad and destitute shall be made bright
and joyous.
There is not an institution in the city
but has been visited and made brighter
and cheerful in commemoration of the
day. Elaborate programs are being
arranged for Christmas trees, dinners,
feasts, entertainments, musical and
literary, praise services and the like.
AS for the festivities at the childrens
missions enough cannot be said thereof
There are all sorts of toys and good
things to please both boys and girls
and gladden. their hearts. Many of
these gifts are the results of the many
church sales, teas and doll exhibitions
that have been held for the past month
with view to the happiness of the
city's poor
