CHRISTMAS CHARITY.

The finest sauce for the Christmas
turkey is little charity. No one with
a heart fitted to the gracious spirit of
this Christmastide can sit down to
Christmas dinner without thinking
quietly or aloud about the children who
find their stockings empty and the fam
lilies with no chicken, celery or pud-
ding. There never was a Christmas
sky so clear thatsit did not have this
ugly cloud.
Every year The Spy has made ap-
peals for the little ones. We do not
now. We simply give you these sug-
gestions for your own good Send some
thing to the homeless and friendless
children and neglected sick. If you
cannot send a turkey and all the fix
ings, send the price of it. There are
good women at all these places who
will spend the money just as well and
possibly better than you could. There
are the Children's Home, the French
Orphanage, and the Temporary Home
and Day Nursery, all doing a magnifi-
cent work. Send them something. 1t
would perhaps be better to send money,
but send toys for the little children and
as much as possible for the Christmas
dinner.
Don't do this because it is your
duty.
Don't try to be charitable because it
is nice to be charitable.
If the blood which goes through your
heart does not warm folt these little
ones. keep away from them. Go to
the theatre or somewhere else where
you can appease your own selfish de-
sires.
There will be others who will look
out for these little ones.
These suggestions are made for your
own interests.

WOMAN'S PROPER SPHERE.

They are having some exciting con-
troversies just now in the west over
the question Of womans proper sphere,
and quite a controversy is going on
among Chicago critics. Many women
have considered the woman's page as
it is conducted by some sensational
papers, an insult to their sex. A Mrs.
Egbert and Miss Simpson of Chica-
go propose to retaliate by starting a
magazine for bachelors. According to
Mrs. Egbert;
Our magazine will be devoted exclu-
sivelf TO the interests of the discard
ed sex. / have observed there were
many publications to help women. but
not one to aid the bachelor and TO
make his path easier. We will print
fashions for men, give chatting dish les

suggestions for christenings, tell of the
duties of men to their typewrters. in

A MODEL MAYOR.

Mayor Proctor of Somerville enjoys
the rather unique distinction of having
declined an increase in salary. An
attempt was made recently in the
board Of aldermen to grant the mayor
$1,000 in addition to the $500 now re-
ceived by him. But Mayor Proctor,
at the meeting of that body on We'd
nesday, read a communication from
himself objecting to the measure. He
was elected for another term at a re-
cent city election, and consequently
feels that 1t would not be becoming
for him to allow the measure to pass
under such circumstances, even if the
salary was insufficient Then, too.
he thinks that his compensation is lib
eral enough in view Of the financial
ability of the city and as compared
with the salaries paid to other mayors
in cities situated similarly to Somer-
vile. His attitude has brought out
some interesting opinions as relating to
city government that find general ap-
plication. Alderman Story persists in
his opinion that the mayor should be
given the $1,000 addition, as under the
revision of the new city charter, the
responsibilities of the executive will be
greatly increased and Mr. Story be-
lieves that the mayor should be paid
accordingly. He says: CITY officials
should be paid in money and not in
honor. A man placed in control of 81.
100000 should receive at least $780,
The mayor is forced to spend at least
$1,000 in expenses incidental to main
tanning the position, and should be rec
ompensed for it,"
