But in 1862, the question of Christ
mas was brought up in parliament.
They decided it was not in harmony
with the scriptures; pronounced it
"anti-Christmasse and abolished II.
So the jolly Lord of Misrule became au
outlaw, and the old picturesque Christ
mas faded away with the severity CT
the Puritan atmosphere; but with the
nineteenth century came a revival.
The new Christmas was merry, but
quieter. What it lost in noise and
frolic, it made up in cheerfulness and
good will; and now, remembering the
message of that first Christmas morn

Gifts for Women and Men.
peace on earth,
Good will to men.

"Womens wants, if measured by
their belongings, would seem to be
almost innumerable, and of a kind
which require constant renewing and
replacing" writes Frances e. Lanigan
telling of appropriate Christmas gifts
for women and for men. Woman
interests and occupations require a
greater number of small things for
their equipment than do those of men,
and Christmas gifts for them are,
therefore, more easily prepared. No-
mems belongings have the further ad-
vantage of being useful as well as
beautiful. Men are always pleased
with simple gifts, and are usually en-
barrassed when presented with expen-
sive articles of any sort. The value
TO them of a sift is, as it should be
with all persons, in proportion to iti
simplicity and usefulness and 9ut Of
proportion to its cost"

Hungry and ragged and blue with
cold
The wind blows keen and loud
Her frozen fingers can scarcely hold
The matches to the crowd.
And still, as faster falls the sleet,
More piteous grows the cry
While the New Year bells are
Ginning sweet,
ooh, will you-will you buy"
No more alone in the moonrise
gray,
With face so wan and white;
The little match girl has gone
away
To a happy home tonight
For an angel came through the
crowded street,
flushing the tempest wild,
While the New Year bells chimed
loud and sweet,
And bore away the child.

They laugh and sing and dance
and run
They all have happy homes; alas,
But this heroine has none,
Alone, alone in the busy street
She covers on a doorstep nigh
While the New Year bells are

Still pleading, Will you huy?"

In a recent issue Of the New, York
Musical Courier there appeared an able
and interesting article entitled why
Music More Than the Other Arts ?"
which presented the view that the study
of music was too universal, and that it
would be we'll for the cause of this no.
blest of arts If only those possessed in
high degree Of the musical sense should
attempt its study and Interpretation.
In the current issue Of the same paper
another contributor presents an answer
that is both apt and interesting, excerpts
from which follow:
This is perhaps the natural attitude
from purely musical and artistic
standpoint; but 1t Is the broadest, the
most catholic and comprehensive view
of the case. UnQuestionably a careful,
earnest study of any composition will
bring about more intelligent compre-
hension of its beauties; and the musical
world finds many appreciative listeners
in those who through long and arduous
striving after musical knowledge and
skill, have at least arrived at a sufficient
degree OF understanding to enable them
to enjoy critically and intelligently the
interpretations of others.
We may perhaps be una Bile to speak or
write foreign language with absolute
f1uency and correctness; yet even an
imperfect knowledge Of its form and
construction opens new avenues of cul-
ture in its understanding, new vistas in
the beauty of it's literature.
The question: "Why music more than
other arts?" answers itself. Music is of
all the arts the most potent, the most
appealing, the most inspired. A noble
piece OF sculpture may appeal to the
imagination and the sense OF proportion;
rare bit Of form or coloring in the pic
torial art may delight the eye; a
thoughtful literary production may ap-
peal to the intellect; but no art so COM
pletely sways the senses. so plays upon
the heart strings. SO dominates the in.-
telligence as the art OF music.
The love of music is inherent in US all,
and there ID scarcely human being
who Is not responsive to the far-reaching
influence Of music in some of it's forms.
