At this season women pay a great deal Of
attention to their compilations, as well as at
every other. The skin needs greater care
when cold weather sets in than at any other

world have bad compilations because they
are afraid OF soap and water. They actually
believe that beauty is only skin deep, and
they are afraid to scrub their faces lest they
strike the bottom. The face should be
washed every night before going to bed in
tepid water and with plenty of pure olive
oil or white CASTLE soap. Il should then be
rinsed with clear tepd water, dried tenderly

it, which makes gift desirable. We Amer
leans have the most immature notions of
how best to celebrate these festivals of love.
Our New England ancestors-it is always
safe and so convenient, to lay the blame of
our bad ways on our forbears, for they can't
talk back-laid the foundation, In the old
colony days, for the neglect of birthdays
which characteriZeS so many of our homes.
The German household is the one which
fittingly observes the natal days of the fam
lily. one German American mother has a
way of sweeping and garnishing her home
on the day preceding the anniversary, as if
she were preparing for a national feast, and
on the morning of his fete day when the son
arises he finds the whole house wearing a
holiday air. Vines wreathe the chandeliers,
all the prettiest fancy work, kept for state
occasions, is brought out and flowers are
everywhere.
If the favored one has weakness for any
particular breakfast relish, there it Is, usu-
ally set before him in new bit of china,
his birthday gift. His favorite dishes are
on the luncheon table and at the evening
meal his birthday cake appears in all its
glory. There is not one member of the
family who would not feel terrible sense
of disappointment If the cake were not
forthcoming on his or her birthday. Every
body is as jolly and cheerful as possible,
only the pleasantest topics are broached,
and in the evening they sing ana IaAk, All
sitting about the fire.
1t is an ideal way to spend the day and
accounts in large measure for the DEVOTION
of the children of that mother to their home,
for it is matter of comment among their
friends that the boys of this German-Amer-
lean household, to quote from one of the
humber classics:
Never care to wander from their own fire.

Just try this way of keeping a birthday
and you will be convinced that 1t is much
better than spending great deal of money
on a fragile silver trifle, which father won t
uses or a book which he has neither the time
nor the inclination to read.

The Abuse of Christmas.

New Ork sun.
Woman is beginning to think and talk
about Christmas gifts Man defers the evil
day, as he has come to regard it, until
Christmas eve. Wary shopkeepers are talk
ing advantage of woman's foresight and are
showing tempting novelties in jewelry, brio
a-brac, silver, glass and the like as we'll as
more practical articles. In all probability a
woman does not exist who old not last year
make a solemn vow to herself to buy all her
gifts this year long before the holiday rush
came on, but it is doubtful if even one finds
herself able to keep her VOW. Something in
the very air, perhaps it's the real Christmas
spirit, makes one want to hustle around at
Christmas time, and then the best inten-
toned people always find that they've for
gotten somebody at the last minute A phi
losopher once said: 1.-The only gift is a por-
ton OF thyself. Thou must bleed for me.

shepherd, his lamb the farmer, corn; the
miner, a gem; the sailor, coral and shells;

on the turn that this gift business was going
come to be-a business, and a burdensome
one it is, too, or, at least, that is the cry Of
the early Christmas shoppers
why, l actually look forward to Christ
mas with dread instead Of joy" said one
woman to another who was trying to decide
whether a friend would think she'd repaid
her for a cut-glasS punchbOwl sent last
Christmas if she gave her $50 lamp this
year. THE time was when friends ex-
changed simple little tokens and thought
much of them, but now people who really
love each other seem to enter into a sort Of
competition to see who can give the hand
soonest gifts. My idea of a gift is to con-
vey to person some inexpensive thing that
properly belongs to his or her character and
is associated with him or her in thought.
Then no obligation is entailed and more
tender thought is required in selecting one g
gifts than money. People never really like
us at heart for putting them under obliga-
lions to us, and from this feeling arises the
habit of paying back ones gifts, as it is vul-
carly expressed"

Her eyes be like the violets,
ALLOW in Sudbury lane;
When she doth smile, her face is sweet
As blossom after rain;
With grief think of my gray hairs
And wish me young again.
In comes she through the dark old door
Upon this Sabbath day;
And she doth bring the tender wind
That sings in bush and tree;
And hints of all the apple boughs
That kissed her by the way.
Our parson stands up straight and tail,
For our dear souls to pray,
And Of the place where sinners 60
Some grevsome things doth say;
Now, she is highest heaven to me:
So hell is far away.
Most stitf and still the good folk sit .
To hear the sermon through:
But If our Sod be such God.
And IL these things be true,
Why did He make her then so fair,
And both her eyes so blue?
A pickering light, the sun creeps in.
And finds her sitting there
And touches soft her lilac gown.
And soft her yellow hair:
I look across to that old pew.
And have both praise and prayer.

This maid who stirs ye with her feet
Is far more fair, ] ween

Look by her sweet slxteent

Suggestions for Machine Sewers.

Harper's Bazaar.
When there is a very large amount Of fine
stitching to be done on the machine. when
a good1y pile Of sheets, table linen, white
frocks, tucking and rufIiing has accumu-
lated, then let the house sewer select day

able to run off one long seam after another
without any of that swapping of the thread.
at the same time so trying to the patience
and so injurious to the appearance of the
For, as with the lacemakers, who are
obliged to work in damp rooms lest the deli
cate threads they weave may break and
rainy day renders the thread Of the eir machine
supple and elastic and better able to bear
any tension without breaking.
1t would really be a saving Of time and
temper If the house sewer would lay aside
such work for suitable weather--a day in
summer when the warm air is saturated with
moisture, or one in winter when fog and
thaw render exercise out of doors unpleas-
ant, for then the thread Of the sewing ma
chine is on its best behavior.
A current of air or the breeze from an
open window will cause the thread to break,
even though the barometer is below
change and the little color barometer has
gone from blue to violet; neither should the
machine stand near the fire or the radiator.
A correct eye is everything in doing ma
chine work well. But there are few COM
nonsense points that may be told without
waiting to learn by experience For in
stance, you can stitch more evenly on the
right of the presser foot, with the bulk of
material lying to the left, than the other
way The tendency of the feed or teeth,
is to throw the work somewhat off, as we'll
as on, and the stitching is better guided on
this side.
When you are stitching a seam, with one
piece bias and one straight, let the bias
side come next the feed-that is, be on the
under side. This is especially important in
the side to it a little faster. When the bias,
or crossway, side is to 1t, the machine
feeds all right. But If the straight edge
is toward it there will be a pucker.
We use many machines now In our
daily life that we may make one word Of
caution serve for sewers as we'll as for the
faithful sewing mechine: Keep it we'll oiled
and ready, and use it evenly and kindly.
