are even prettier than the solid silver
articles of last season. One new thing
this year that will fill a long felt want
is a holder for curling irons. Curling
irons are things that are always put
ting themselves just where they are not
wanted and would be conspicuous in
a shipwreck This new holder is made
Of card board, covered with linen, which
has some dainty design worked on it.
On the back is a pocket for the iron,
and when the business is hung against
the wall by the dressing table, it looks
as innocent as a match receiver. lit
tie calendar may be glued on the front,
so that the article will perform a two
fold function.
Some of the new sofa pillows which
will appeal to women are made of can
vas worked in silk, and with honiton
let in in roccoco effect. The ruffies are
of heavy silk or satin in colors to match
the design, and some of them have silk
lace on the ruffie. Dainty pin cushions
are made in the same manner, and
some of them are made with net over
silk. One particularly beautiful cush-
ion shown in one Of the Worcester
stores is of black satin worked with
pink roses and having a ruffle of three
shades of silk.
Calendars and pictures are shown this
season in greater variety than ever be-
fore Some of the calendars have pic
lures by artists who are known the
world over, and such names as Kemble,
Gibson, Christy, are found at the bot
tom of exquisite calendars which sell
at remarkably low prices. Copies of
famous paintings in sepia and black
and white are also to be had in profu-
SION and make excellent presents for
those who have homes in which to
put them.
The usual wealth of toys for children
is on hand this year, and some of the
mechanical toys are most ingenious.
Tiny automobiles, electric cars and
steam engines that wind up are to be
had as usual There seems to be but
little new this year in dolls, for perfec-
ton in their manufacture is about
reached. There are some novelties in
gift books for children. Some new ones
have changeable pictures, which re-
volve when string is pulled. They
are nice things for the baby to tear UP
and see how they work.
But people and Christmas both re-
main the same through all the changes
that take place in life, and the giving
and receiving of presents on the 25th
of December will never cease. Give
and receive, then, and be happy, and if
you have enough diplomacy, receive
more than you give, and thereby do
good to others, for it is more blessed
to give than to receive.

you hot water before you rise in the
morning and has bright blaze going
in your room when you return at night.
If you desire it, there is a boy who Will
follow you if you hunt on foot, carry
or retrieve your birds If you desire,
and make himself useful in many other
ways. There Is always some one to
saddle a horse or do an errand. Your
host knows how to prepare a mint
julep that will always taste like more,
or to make a decoction of plain corn
whisky and honey that will set your
tongue wagging and raise your spirits
to the topnotch. There is an ease and
grace about this entertainment which
make one feel that he is at home,
among friends, and makes him forget
that his entertainer probably lost
everything through the united efforts
of his northern friends during "the
late unpleasantness."
The well-bred southerner never for
gets to be a gentleman or the south
ern woman to be lady. While one is
in their home he is their guest and the
best that the house has is his. The old
plantation mansions may be dilapi-
dated but their interiors are pic
turesque and homelike. and the broad
Railways and blazing fireplaces make
the visitor forget the absence of things
that might be called comforts in the
north.
The best way to find a good place for
shooting in the south is to get the adj
dress from some one who has been on
the ground. The railroad guide books
print very elaborate reports, for which
due allowance must be made. The
best territory is where the birds are
many and the hunters few Many Of
the lands are posted, but if one Is stop
ping with some influential person,
everybody extends right of way and
where this is not forthcoming a silver
half-dollar will go much farther than
hot words. You darkey friends will be
much more attentive If they find a sila
yer piece coming their way now and
then, and the old nanny who cooks
will bless you over and over if you

the days hunt
The sportsman should carry what
ammunition he intends to use, for it
is hard to secure in many places. Fiv-
hundred shells will hardly last a
month. No. 10 shot in the right barrel
and Fights in the left are used during
October and November and Fights and
skies later. The gun should be ~
gauge, 26 or 2S-inch barrel, with the
right barrel cylinder bore. The birds
are killed at comparatively short range,
for they lie close to the dog and flush
almost beneath the hunters feet.
The sportsman who goes south know
ing what to expect and properly
equipped, viii come home satisfied that
no sport surpasses a quail shooting
trip in the south. The one who does
not learns a lesson, useful for the next
trip and which may save his friends a
like inconvenience.

SOUTHERN COVERS.
Royal Sport is Found
South of Mason
and Dixon's Line.
MANY WORCESTER men GO DOWN
Birds Are Plenty and the
People Extend the Best
Of Hospitality.
MANY WORCESTER men GO DOWN

Sportsmen have long since discov-
quail shooting cannot be had in New
England To be sure, there are many
birds on the Cape and in parts OF Con-
necticut, but the south is the real home
of the quail. There they are found in
numbers sufficient to crafty the wish
of the most enthusiastic, and in spite
of the fact that thousands of sports
men from all parts of the country go
annually to Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina and other states in
Dixie land. the birds still appear to be
as plentiful as ever.
Many Worcester shots are annually
in this number. Hardly year passes
but E. T. Smith of Worcester and w.
E. Johnson of Whitinsville make the
trip and Charles Crompton, Col. A.
Geo. Bullock, A. Fl. Perry, Will Perry,
R. D. Perry, E. f. Swan and many
others have been frequent visitors In
fact, nearly all of Worcester's crack
shots have been south or are forever
looking forward to going there.
And it is not strange. The vast ex-
tent of country once cultivated, but
now for the most part neglected. the
proverbial and unique hospitality and
entertainment of the people, the change
of scene, and the abundance of game
al. combine to make a southern shoot
ing trip a thing which every sportsman
desires to enjoy
The season opens generally in the
south on the fifteenth of October, and
continues in some localities as late as

as rule reach the covers much before
the middle Of November, and they
string along from that time until the
end of the season. Accommodations
are had a the small hotels in the little
towns or DIT some plantation. In either
case the birds are easily accessible, for
the quail is a domestic bird loves the
hum of industry, and would if given
half n chance, be the best of friends
with everybody. These accommoda-
lions vary in excellence, but the hunter
makes up his mind to and enjoys

Experience Does Not
Help Christmas
Shoppers.
A FEW SUGGESTIONS OFFERED.
The Spy Man Visits the
Shops and Observes
Good Presents.

Just what to give for Christmas is
what is troubling the minds of some
one hundred million people in the
United States and Canada, and Euro
pean countries. About 10000 of these
people live in Worcester, and about
$4,000 of them are residents of Wor-
cester county. OF course, it would be
out of the question for The Spy to at
tempt to advise each individual as 10
what he or she should buy for prother
or sister or somebody else's brother or
sister, so the best thing to be done Is
to hint at some of the many beautltul
novelties on exhibition in the shop
windows of the stores. Just where TO
begin is almost as hard as deciding
what to say, because there is so much
that is new this year that space Would
not permit of enumerating one@nalI OF
the most important and most beautlI III
of the articles which will ere long
change hands for ever.
One of the most difficult things IoI
girls to decide is what to give young
men. A woman will be pleased Win
any OF the thousand and one dainty
man IL is different There seems to be
only a few things he really likes, or
really needs that can be bought or
made, and girls are getting tir-T 81
crocheting slippers or making necktie
cases, and, conffdentially the men are
getting tired of receiving such things.
Don't. if you are a girl, give a man
a pair of slippers or neck tie case.
OF course, you will reason correctly,
If you say that he would rather have
something made by the hands ne
adores but he wants something he can
use. generally. and not something to
put up in a corner and admire. And
no man could ever use the slippers or
necktie cases made for him-or rather
few men do use such things. And
don't think to get around this by CIV
ing him a shaving set. 1t won't be
useful to him, even If he shaves. There
was never shaving set made that
could be used without profanity, and

The Memoirs of Victor Hugo.

Pronounced by many critics the
great literary event Of the year.
The Memoirs, which date back
to 1925, when Hugo Witnessed the
coronation of Charles X, at Rheims,
are of absorbing interest. They
constitute a series Of vivid pen pic
lures Of persons whose names are
writ large in the annals of French
art, literature, politics and the stage,
and Of events in which he took
leading part, events that shook the
world and have their lasting pages
in the history Of the nations.
Some of the most piquant and
interesting chapters in the work are
those containing Hugo's reminis-
cences of the Court Of the Tuileries
when Louis Philippe was on the
Throne.
Louis Napoleon's political debut
and his elevation to the presidency
Of the Republic were events that
naturally impressed themselves upon
Victor Hugo's mind, and he details
the first dinner given by the Presi-
dent after he had installed himself at
the ElVSee, at which he was a guest.

literally bounded forward. the wheels
for moment almost leaving the track.
There was q blue-gray streak down
the road, a faint cloud of dust and the
famous carriage was making more than
a mile a minute. The sound of the mo-
tor was described by d spectator as
resembling the .rustling of wings, the
car undulated like swallow in flying,
this no doubt being due to the action
of the springs and the rubber tires.
Nothing had ever before Travelled on
common road at such speed, and the
spectators were anxious to know. not
whether Jenatzy had broken the record.
but by how much he had broken it,
The wheels left two broad white tracks
in the middle Of the road, absolutely
and conyerging in the distance
like a line of rails. 1t was remark
able exhibition of accurate steering. In
deed. if JenatZy had swerved an inch
to the right or TO the left, he would not
have survived to tell the tale. After
the trial was over, it was found that
La Jamais Contente" had made sixty
six miles an hour. and Nj. JenatZy went
away declaring that he should soon
make seventy-fye miles and hour.
