GOOD THINGS FOR CHRISTMAS.

A course that will occa sion a great
deal of pleasure and mirth is a Jack
Horner pie. This pie should be served
Just before the coffee when the table
is clear. To make the pie have large
but shallow dish. or bright new tin
pan will do. Fill this dish with hu
morous little gifts. each one rolled in
white paper and tied with red baby
ribbon. a tiny bit Of holly fastened I'M
der the bow. Have as many packages
as there are guests and arrange them
closely in the dish. Cut a piece Of
thin brown paper a little larger than
the top of the dish. Make a couple of
little gashes in the middle of the paper
and then lay it loosely over the filled
dish and paste it to the outer edge.
With a little brush paint uneven brown
spots over the paper to make it look
as if the pie had been baked in a
very hot oven Place the pie on a
silver tray and wind the dish with
evergreens and holly, and put serv-
ing fork and spoon upon the ton Of the
ME. Have this dish placed before an
honored guest, and when he has cut
the pie and helped himself it should
be put before the next guest. each one
helping himself until all are served.
A bowl of punch wreathed with
evergreens is proper to have at hand
to welcome your guests. This punch
should be simple one. so the Younger
guests can have their share. Here is
a good formula: Boil one quart of
water with one Mound Of sugar ten
minutes: take from the fire and add a
few thin shavings Of lemon ree1 When
this becomes cold add the Juice of
three lemons and one orange. a little
sliced pineapple. and few candied
cherries. Add one cuD Of green tea.
one glass of sherry. one nf Jan aica
rum and a dash Of brandy. When
ready to use nut in large niece of
ice and a bottle of seltzer or apnolli-
naris. This punch will not be refused
| and some will wonder why Christmas
comes but once year.

father and mother would do in the
thick darkness that had fallen upon
them.

to get them to come to my own house
and spend two or three days, but they
would not hear TO leaving, and, fear

determined to slip away from the
brightness and cheer Of my own home
and go into the dreary darkness Of
this one of my friends. It was sad
enough during the early twilight Of
Christmas eve, but as night came on
and there were only shadows and

lights had cleaned and children's
merry laughter had filled their halls,

was going to happen to make a great
change, either for the better or for the
worse, and end the painful chapter.
Once or twice as the evening dragged

still, | started nervOusly and gazed
anXiously at the chimney place, feeling

experience, you should pray that you
never do. About midnight, and just a
minute or two before the bells of the
city rang out their Christmas welcome
to the day, I ventured to suggest that
probably they would find some forget
fulness in sleep, and as I did so I
arose and with me the mother stood
up, leaving her husband sitting with
bowed head. She stepped forward to

upon his shoulder, there came a ring
at the door-bell so sudden, so powerful
and so insistent that the woman

picked up the backet and carried il

her hands and kissing her white face

the woman had not gen noli1e3 my
return, but this BABY : crow was to
him like a call from some other land,
and he turned toward ME. With a
cry whose gladness cannot be de-
scribed, he ran to me and, snatching
the baby from it's covering, he kissed
it and laid it down On the bosom of
his wife with it's fat little fists digging
into her cheeks ard neck. I don't
know, nor does anything hrnan, what
the baby's power is, but in minute
the woman began to stir uneasily, and
to move her hands about as il search
ing for something. and then, with a
cry like her husbands for gladness,
she opened her eyes and her arms, and
the baby. with a satisfied coo, cuddled
close to the mother breast.
THAT was the crisis, and as the
father dropped by the side of his
wife with the child in his arms, and
