ideal warm weather waist here illus
trated. Six tucks are represented in
each cluster on back and fronts. The
novel adjustment of the back brings
the straight lines Of tucking to meet
at the waist line. The fronts and
back join in shoulder and under-arm
seams, and are smartly adjusted with
out Innings. The fronts are held cas-
lily between the groups of tucking at
the top, and gathers give slight
blouse effect at the waist line, the back
being drawn snugly by gathers at
the waist. A narrow band finishes
the neck and holds the studs with
which the standing collar of white
linen is adjusted.
The stylish one-seam sleeves have
the slight fulness now approved by

wrists, the straight link cuffs being
shaped with rounded corners. Laps

A Christmas Tree Feature.

Dancing Christmas fairies always en-.
nance the children's delight in the
Christmas tree and, once made, can be
used year after year. Buy up dozen
or more of > and 10 cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the
number some Japanese and colored
dolls. Dress these to represent fairies
in bright hues of spangled gauze, tar
latan or tissue paper and literally
sprinkle their hair and garments with
diamond dust powder Each doll should
be provided with a dainty pair of fairy
wings made from spangled tissue pa
per and fastened to the body by means
Of concealed wires. These wires should
be coiled to obtain motion in the wings,
and nothing better can be used than
the fine spiral coils that come out of
wornout wire stitched brooms. The
least motion will set this spiral to
quivering, causing the wings to move
as If in fight. In like manner use the
spiral wire to attach the dolls in hover
ing positions over and around the tree.
The effect is magical. Every footstep
causes jar enough to start the dolls
dancing and circling above and around
the tree, as If the invisible fairies OF
the air had come down to join the
Christmas glee.-Woman's Home Com

YUlETlDE GAMES.
snapdragon n Diversion Popular In
England.


England.
Little known in this country, snap.
dragon is diversion in which in Eng.
land young and old participate through
out the Christmas season. Apparently
it Is dangerous pastime. Really it is
harmless, and no one ever suffers an
accident through playing it. Babies of
or years engage in 1t with great
glee, in which there is an admixture Of
fear, but nerve generally conquers,
and once in the game they cannot be
kept out of it,
The requisites of snapdragon are one
OF two large platters such as roasts are
served on, some large, fat raisins, a
little brandy or gin, match and q
darkened room. The platters are ar
ranged thus: If there is but one and
the party is of moderate number, it is
laid In the center of dining table. If
the number of participants is large,
then two platters are laid, one at each
end of the table, or there may be two
small tables, with a platter on each.
Next the raisins are laid over each
platter, Slngly ana at short distances
apart. A small quantity of brandy or
gin Is then poured over each platter
and ignited. Put out all the lights in
the room, leaving none but that from
the dancing blue flames in the platters.
Everybody looks weird and feels I'M
canny, and the fun begins. Each par
ticipant Snaps" at raisin on the dish,
and, hit or miss, the blue fame clings
to the fingers in writing, forked
tongues, thus providing the dragon"
The raisins are all finally secured, the
flames die out, the lights are turned on,
and the company is ready for another
diversion, unless, as is often the case,
there is a call for repetition of the
fun just ended.-San Francisco Post
Magazine.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.
Decoration of Evergreens and Flow
ers Is of Pagan Origin.


The Christmas decorations may have
originated in the saturnalia or in the
old Teutonic practice of hanging the
interior of dwellings with evergreen
as refuge for sylvan spirits from the
inclemency of the winter, but the
Christmas tree is of German origin.
1t is their chief ornament and symbol
1t is not used for the hanging of gifts,
but it is used entirely as bright orna-
ment, being made to glisten with
lights and tinsel.
1t is kept throughout the II days OF
Christmas and at intervals is lighted
and on New Years eve is lighted for
all night.
The custom of decorating dwellings
and churches with evergreen was
known by the Christians to be a rem
nanr of paganism and was forbidden
by the council, but it had too strong a
hold to be given up.
Even in Boston Justice Samuel Sew
all cried out against it, but it crept to
its place by degrees. Holly and ivy
were favorites in Great Britain, being
regarded as sacred emblems of the
season.
Holly used in churches was kept by
families to insure lucky year.
The mistletoe was held in so much
vereration by the pagans that 1t was
cut with golden sickle by the prince
of the Druids, with whom it first ap-
pears.
The Introduction Of flowers to the
tokens of festivity seems to have ex-
listed universally and at all times Of
history. 1t was a pagan manifesto
ton Of rejoicing, and, although forbid
den by the early church and de-
nouDced by the Puritans of New Eng
land, it became a general custom.
While obliged to give credit to early
and heather notions for much of the
Christmas which we so fondly cherish,
We can but remember our own Ben
jamin Franklin for the one motto as
being American, "a good conscience
is continual Christmas" Boston

CHRISTMAS LONG AGO.
The banquet In Old England Was an
Event of Great Ceremony.

event Oh Grent ceremony.
The Christmas banquet of mediae-
val times was n very brilliant affair,
followed by spectacular performances,
particularly at court, where process
sions, dancing and the acting of allie
gories were favorite amusements. Be
sides the representations, the ballet
frequently acted some simple story. A
favorite allegory represented Prone
theus stealing the spark from heaven
and making his escape, Vulcan and
Venus forging the bolts Of love, the
fall Of Phaeton, the love of Semele
and It's fatal catastrophe, and Love
and Beauty setting the universe on
fire with their united power.
From the time of Henry VIII until
nearly the close of the seventeenth cen
fury boar's head was favorite dish on
Christmas day. This was an event of
great pomp and ceremony. After the
guests had assembled around the fes-
tive board the procession Of retainers
appeared. Then
Was brought the lusty Drawn
BY old blue coated serving man;
Then the grim boar's head frowned on high,
Crested with bays and rosemary.
While round the merry wassail bowl
Garnished with ribbons blithe did trowl.
At Queens college, oxford, the
bringing in Of the boar's head was at.
tended with professional honors. The
boar's head was carried in by the
strongest Of the guardsmen, singing q
merry stave.
The turkey as Christmas dish was
introduced into England in the six
teenth century and is therefore Of less
antiquity than the huge sirloin Of beef
or the mince pie. Mince pies were first
shaped like manger, as were the
Yule cakes given out by the bakers to
their customers. Mince pie was also
long ago accepted as typical of the
riches and spices brought by the three
wise men to the Child in the manger.
The plum porridge later developed
into the plum pudding, which dates
from 1915. At the old Christmas
feasts peacocks and cranes formed
some of the dishes. Before being roast
ed the peacock was carefully skinned,
and after leaving the oven the bird
was reclothed with its old plumage.-
