AT THE TICK OF THE CLOCK

Every minute, every minute
Has the whole of living in it.
Some ones crying,
Some ones born.
Some ones dying.
Old and worn.
Come ones laughing
Some ones fed.
Some ones chatting,
Some ones dead.
Some ones hearing
Love confessed,
Some ones ieering
Some ones jest.
Some ones sorry.
Some ones glad.
Some ones worry
Drives him mad
Every minute, every minuts,
Has the whole of living in it.

CHRISTMAS,
''We ring the bells and we raise the strain, We hang up garlands everywhere,
 And hI1 thu tanars t,yipkla fair

''We ring the bells and we raise the strain,
 We hang up garlands everywhere,
 And bid the tapers twinkle fair,
 And feast and frolc-and then VIC go Back to the same old lives again"
 True. Life can't be a perpetual Christmas. Men must work and women must weep, and in many cases work too. But life can be perpetually influ- enced by the Christmas spirit. Let us be as merry as we can reasonably be to-day, and tomorrow when we go back to the old lives take with us cheer ing memories of the merry Christmas and the sweet and generous influence of the kindly Christmas. So we can make the old lives better than they have been and have the better part of Christmas through the year until the next one comes to again cheer and improve us.
 We wish all our readers Merry Christmas. We also wish them the con- tinual influence of the real, vital Christ mas spirit when the tapers are out, the feast and frolic ended, and they go back to ordinary living.

UNCLE SAM'S COLD,

When Uncle Sam looks into his stock ing this morning he will find a corpu- lent and cheering amplitude of gold. The Treasury gold reserve has crossed the S160,000,O00 mark and stands at $160,2 ,463, the highest on record. It was estimated by Treasury experts six ty days ago that the column would reach $160,000000 before the end of the calendar year, and there is some satis- faction expressed over the realization of this prediction. The net balance, aside from gold, Is $76,S5S, BOA, which brings the available total up to $237,- 125,76S. By the time the very large dis bursements which are to be made about the first of January are out of the way the total Treasury balance is expected to be down we'll towards S200,O00 900, which would leave the working balance above the gold reserve about $40, 1000, ,OGO.
 Half million in gold started from England to this country yesterday. More, and much more, is expected
 KIondike will be heard from in the spring, and then we shall have more gold. It is only about year ago that our gold was out of sight. Now it is out of sight the other way.

' '-- ! . "PIANISTE" AND "ARTISTE."

We observe with pain that impas- stoned press agents and would-be gen. teel persons persist in calling a female pianist "pianiste, thinking thereby to determine sex by the final letter. But "pianiste" Is the French word for pianist, and it is masculine noun as well as feminine.
 And so there is a mistaken use of the word 'artiste'' Mir. Leonidas Swet, the formidable pianist, is an artist, but Miss Eugenia Hammerkuis is a charm ing "artiste," as well as fascinating "pianiste." "Artiste," however, is a French word, and is primarily mascu- line. The English word artist" mean ing specifically lone skilled in music, ; is as old as 1590-"argues a bad care and a bungling artist, "-and Addison in 1712 spoke of "that excellent Artist * having shown us the Italian music in it's perfection" But this word is now ob- solete, except as in the general applica- tion: "One who cultivates one of the fine arts, in which the object is mainly

little bOlero of dark cloth, or a split blouse. This combination is the latest but lots of women will wear ankle skirts made to match the blouse The color will be bright blue, ox-blood red, white, green or black It will be edged with black or white fur, and elaborated by braiding. The hat will match and be mostly fur, and she will carry a huff to keep her hands warm and from waving about too much though that reason she does not confess.
 Indoor skating rigs may be, and usu- ally are less characteristic of the sport, and most of them may be more truth fully described as street dresses put to rink use Two of these are shown here: The left hand one was silver gray cash mere, embroidered on skirt and blouse in several shades of silk An embroid- cred belt held down band of fur ruch- ing from waist to collar. This was all tails below the waist, head resting on the left shoulder. Mixed green home spun was the fabric of the other gown, braid and butons trimming it as indi- cated. A narrow band of fur edged the collar and ran down the front
 A few fanciful rink rigs are made with skirt slit to the knee over an un- der petticoat of brilliant color. A sash to match the petticoat is worn, and a scarf on the cap has long ends. This is pretty if you have lote of room to skate in, but on crowded ice space you will in the first round be sure to share your scarf, sash and maybe corner of your flying dress with every one who crushes by you. Bloomer skating rigs are hinted at, but if the bloomers fail ed to be accepted for wheel use, where many things could be argued in it's fa- vor, we are hardly likely to submit else where. FLORETTE.
