the house down q couple Of times by
coming in contact with a rather peculiar

Table Talk for December is full OF
ideas and plans for the housekeeper
and the holiday spirit Is encouraged
in its menus, table decorations and
entertainments. These are further
supported by interesting articles on
The Christmas Isle Potatoes, Liberty
Tea, Boys and What They Eat, Some
Christmas Niands of 1897, as well as
recipes, considered seasonable In 1897.
What would you do IL war should
be declared tomorrow with Eu-
ropean power? How would It change
yonr home life, the lives OF your
brother and other relatives? How
would 1t affect your business connec-
lions and business? What change
would 1t make in financial city, state
and national affairs? 1t is these in
teresting problems which writer in
the December Cosmopolitan has un-
dertaken to sketch under the heading
of "A Brief History OF our Late War
with Spain" at the same time wildly
describing the exciting scenes which
would attend the opening of HOSTILE
