Browns EASY Victory.

On Lincoln Field yesterday afternoon
Brown closed her baseball season, when
she won from Harvard l3 10 z, in game
full of interesting plays fine hitting and
numerous sense tionai features. Even
with Charley Paine in the box Harvard
was at the mercy Of the home team and
when IL became necessary to substitute
Fitz she was hopelessly lost. In sharp
contrast SurCmersgill's work In tho box
was strongly marked. "Summie" played
tho game of his life. his arm was in good
shape. his curves effective and his deliv-
cry strong. Only onco did Harvard hit
him in combination that proved disas-
trous In addition 10 his excellent pitoh-
ing bis work mt the bat was remarkable
record OF three two -baggers. There
were many sensational plays TO applaud.
Paine made "a phenomenal catch of "a hard
limo fly of FultZ in the spcond and was
knocked flat. but recovered and turned
the out into double play. Phillips
made several star recoveries and Cook :
work in right field was excellent. Sum-
mersgill also came In for his share, WIN
ming applause for his fast work In throw
ing Haughton out at second. The game
went Browns way In the first inning,
but there were times when the visitors
found Summersgill's delivery and made
tho struggle look closer than ii proved to
be.
The contest was watched by 2000 poo
pie, many OF whom were alumni OF
Brown. After the game William Lauder,
Browns star third baseman, was elected
captain for 1898.

Reminder Of an Old Custom.

Hundreds of old country people, espe-
cially of Irish birth, will remember the
Christmas candle which is lighted and
placed in the window at midnight Of
Christmas eve and allowed to burn there
ON the successive nights until it is all
consumed. 1t is one Of the most inter
esting of all the customs associated with
the rel igious celebration of the Christian
festival II is symbolic, of course, of the
Light of the World, but some hold
that with the mistletoe. the holly and
the festive practices of the season it goes
back to Druid or pagan origin and is
derived from some olden symbolism of
the returning warmth of the sun. How
ever this may be, it is not generally
known that the custom has been pre-
served in Canada to this day by few
old country people, comparatively speak.

its holy message without the tall wax
candle shining in their window.

Hand. Painted Presents.

How many exquisite little holiday
gifts one can prepare If she can paint
A fancy greatly appreciated by one who
cannot paint is this: Take satin rib
bon from three to four inches wide,
have it long enough to tie in hand
some bow. fringe the ends and then
above this paint tasteful design.
Flowers are perhaps prettier than any
thing else, but l saw one with tiny
landscape painted upon it with such
delicate touches that it was lovely.
These bows are to be used as adorn.
ments for sofa arms or backs or to put
upon the left hand corner Of chair
back.
Another article upon which the brush
may be used to advantage is the cover
ing Of fine needle pillow. The latest
novelty in shape is that Of muff, half
the cover to be Of pale pink, the other
half of pale green. The ends were tied
with bows of pink and green ribbons
The decoration was branch of pine.

Two useful and dainty gifts which can
be easily made by the average bright
American girl are here described.
At japanese store, that home Of
pretty things within the reach of the
most slender purses, can be purchased
for the sum of 10 cents q lifelike little
head with fringe of why black hair
protruding from under paper disk. IN
the center Of this is hole, through
which buster is intended to be slipped,
but very fantastic penwiper and blot
ter combined may be readily made in
stead. Cut two circular pieces of cha
mois Of two contrasting colors every
desirable shade can now be obtained in
this leather; the model was made of
yellow and royal purple), and, having
pinked the edges, gather in a bunch
from the center and fasten with bit of
wire to burned match. Slip the match
through the opening in the top of the
head until it rests crosswise inside,
thrs fixing the penwiper firmly in
place. Now cut six squares of plotting
paper of the same color as the chamois
and lay them alternately one ON top Of
another; then cut circle of channels
an inch and a half in diameter and lay
in the center of the topmost piece of
blotting paper. Take the head, make a
hole in each side Of the neck and, thread
ing a large needle with baby ribbon,
pass it from the chamois ON top through
the last sheet of plotting paper and then
back again, this time passing through
the hole in the side of the neck. Now
take the two ends of the ribbon and tic
first in firm knot and then in a dainty
little bow. Having made similar bow
on the other side, the novel little gif
is finished. The ribbon used must .
course be of the same color as the chs
mois.
Another pretty present is japanese
ballet dancer shaving paper case. All
ordinary japanese doll about ten inches
high is used for this novel little dancer
Having disrobed the victim Of its native
gown, proceed to array it in Grape it's
sue paper The one in question was
dressed in light blue, the ribbon used
being black. The trousers, which reach
just to the end of the unsightly brown
muslin and the beginning of the pink
knee, are cut from an oblong piece Of
tissue paper, sewed up the center and
shirr d at the bottom of each leg to form
O ruffle. A waist is cut from straight
piece with two holes cut for the arms,
into which is sewed plain straight
sleeve shirred at the end to form a rufile.
This is creased around the center to
make the wheellike effect shown in the
illustration. The waist is then shirred
around the neck about half an inch
from the top to form ruffied collar
For the skirt cut 20 circles about Az
inches in diameter and notch their
edges, fold in half and then again in
quarters without creasing them. Thread
these through the pointed end on
strong piece of linen cord aud, tying
the cord tightly round the waist of tho
doll, push the frills until they stand ont
evenly all around. A ribbon is then
passed round the waist, crossed in front.

one wishes. The essentials are to take
long envelopes and label them tor the
various purposes for which they are in
tended. For instance, one set contains
one envelope each for clippings relating
to politics, medicine, society, stocks
religion, poetry, celebrities and college
news. Such set should be very nice
present for a sister to give brother
who was prominent in college journal
ism. Just the bare envelopes tied to-
gether with the college colors would
suffice, but to make the set more fan
ciful take some chamois skin and cut it
large enough to form sort of book COW
er for the envelopes, decorate it if pos
sible, but if not simply print the word
clippings. in gilt letters on the back
Then lay the envelopes together and
punch two holes about 2 x inches apart,
make holes in the chamois cover to cor.
respond and run ribbons through envel-
opes and cover to tie them together
Another fancy made after the same
fashion is a number Of decorated cards
tied together in book. The cards are
long and tied at the ends The outside
card is decorated with clover blossoms
and labeled in gilt letters, "Baby's
Progress. The next leaf has "Baby's
Birthday" next "Baby's Name" next
"Baby's Weight" with spaces for
weight at birth, at one month, at two
months, at six months, etc; next,
"What Baby First Said," and last,
"When Baby First Walked" with tiny
shoes and slippers for decoration at the
foot of the page. This, of course, would
be q dainty gift for the fond young
mother from her sister or dear friend.
These, however, involve some skill in
painting and are Of no use to the ordi-
nary mortal whose birth was not recog-
nized by the color muse.

Yule among the northern nations whose
great enjoyment was in drinking the
wassail bowl or cup. Nothing gave
them SO much delight as indulgence in
"carousing ale, especially at the sea-
son Of short days when fighting was
ended. It was likewise their custom at
all their feasts "for the master of the
house to fill large bowl or pitcher, to
drink out of it first himself, and then
give to him that sat next, and SO it
went around" This may have been the
origin Of that popular American custom
known as treating" 1t is certain that
upon our Christian observance of this
glorious day have been migrated habits
taken from rude and barbarous people.
