Three hours later Eustace Kehogan
swayed GOWN the street singing, He
Kissed Her Meath the Mistletoe-''
He sang it in this wise: He missed
her meath the kisstietoe."
But who could tell IL It was love or
liquor or the consciousness that he was
arrayed in garments of exceptional cut
and finish, made Of strictly high grade
English bird's-eye worsted, our own
importation?
And this was the meeting between
Eustaee Kehogan, the man of fashion.
and Aurelia Montravers. the rich heir
ess, that gave society something else
to talk of save The Dog Show.
Clothes make the man.
The want Of them the fellow.

almost daylight before we finished, but
we were amply repaid for our trouble.
by 9 o'clock everybody was dressed
and down stairs, exchanging greetings
and gifts. Stella and 1 were the last
to arrive, and our entrance was the
signal for a grand rush to the parlor.
And lol the big Christmas tree had
flown. My uncle was enraged, the
guests much excited, and the young
lawyer from New York looked very
much amused. a search was prompt
ly instituted, and of course the tree
was found in the library, standing in
stately solitude
Who on earth could have put it
there? No one knew-and no one
could guess-Stella and 1 were particu-
larly obtuse. And after awhile the
presents were distributed. The young
married woman's card was inclosed in
a bundle Of embroidered flannel petit
coats to my darling husband and
darling husband presented his little
love- with a volume Of Mother Goose
tales, and red bathing s:Iit; my old
maid cousin received a Dutch pipe and
a pair of hunting trousers; my uncle
got half dozen tulle wells and a pair
of gold garter clasps"

ChTfRfmaA

An old song preserved in the Har-
leian manuscripts, in the British mus
uem. asserts that it is peculiarly lucky
when Christmas falls on a Sunday.
THAT wynter shall be good" it says;
"the somer shall be faire and drye,"
and the year that follows Christmas
will be good TYNE all thyngs to
DON"
If there is any virtue in the old ST.
perstition, 1899 should be a cheerful
twelvemonth. For our own nation,
indeed, it promises well. And it would
seem singularly fitting that a happy
year should begin with the years hap
piest day.
Luck" alone will not ensure pros
perity or contentment. But the Com
panion, while wishing its readers a
merry Christmas, assures them Of a
good TYNE" to follow, if through all
the months they cherish the Christmas
spirit-the disposition to make the
most Of ones blessings and the best
Of ones troubles. and to be thoughtful,
hopeful, generous and kind.

The Christmas nlnnsr Table.

Place the table for the Christmas
dinner in the center Of the room
under the chandelier if there is one,
and then see that it is perfectly level
and the leaves well fitted, writes Mrs.
s. T. Rorer in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. From the chandelier hang a large
spray of mistletoe or holly tied with
scarlet ribbon. IL there be a mantel-
piece in the room, bank it with holly
and ferns. Arrange a pretty corner,
blending all the greens used in decor
ating. Cover the table first with a
heavy cotton flannel cloth, and place
over it the spotless linen tablecloth.
Place in the center of the table a mat
of Christmas ferns, in the center Of
which stand a high fruit dish filled
with polished red apples, grapes and
such other fruits as may be obtained.
Cover the base Of the dish with sprays
of holly; on each side of this place
cut-glass or china dishes filled with
bonbons, olives and sailed almonds.
The water bcS1les and a dish or two
of celery may occupy the other places.

Distinct Christmas Ipauences

The SAVIOR and flavor of Tiny Tins"
turkey would have been far less subtly
delicious had it been set upon the
fusion Of the novelist, nor fancy Of the
churchman, that there are influences at
work at Christianmastide which make
ordinary things extraordinary, and
common things precious, and little
things great. That leayen which has
changed the face OF the world, and
moved the heart of man, and made
peace where there was no peace, IS in
every Christmas present, thought and
happy gathering.

as all was quiet, I stole from my room,

mitted. We two girls slipped down

WENT HOME TO SANTA CLAUS

A bitter night-a sQualid street
A basement bleak and bare,
A hungry child with bleeding feet
Alone sat waiting there.
All day amid the surging throng
She'd wandered far and near
All day had sung a feeble song
That none had paused to hear.
But as she sang she caught the name
OF Santa Claus, and how
On Christmas night he often came
To hungry children now.
And so she waited in the dark
For Santa Claus to come
Till in her breast the feeble spark
Of hope grew faint and numb.
She thought because she had no lighl
He failed to bring her share,
And crept at last into the night
To lead the good saint there.
And Christmas morning came, and To-!
Her dead face smiled, because
Amid a whirring drift of snow
Her little weary soul I know
Had found its Santa. Claus.

CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS.

''Gift-making is one of the mosE
gracious features of Christmas, and
one that pray may survive all other
outgrown customs writes Florence
Hull Winterburn, in the Woman's
Home Companion when love and
sympathy are close counselors there is
little fear that we shall make the mis-
take of leaving out of our little ones
stocking the particular thing he has
set his heart upon getting And If his
choice is beyond US to crafty. let US
come as near to it as We can, and not
convert this season into a sort OF con-
venience for ourselves, thrusting upon
his reluctant acceptance such prosaic
articles as shoes, hats and other essen
tails Of the toilet. Far prettier is the
German custom of bestowing gaudy
trifies that have no use in themselves
but are part Of the glitter and fashion
OF the holiday. When it is possible
nothing is so good to have as the ira
d1tional Christmas tree. In after years
memory hangs upon it fondly, and we
bless in our hearts the kind hands that
took so much trouble to give us pleas
ure
Then the stocking hung up on
Christmas eve has a romance all its
own The breakfast table dressed with
holly-berries and gifts piled under
snowy napkins is a graceful custom,
and is far nicer than the blunt hand
ing out of our gifts. Some trouble
should be taken to create the welcome
element of surprise. We all like it,
but ii is one of the greatest delights
in a child's experience He finds out
before we would choose to have him
that what is looked forward TO most
eagerly seldom turns out well. 1t is
sad philosophy, yet true, that 1t is
dangerous TO set ones heart on any
thing in this world. But the love that
hides its intention until the hour OF
fulfillment, and then lets out its secret
in an outburst of generosity, is the
best substitute that is ever offered for
the special Provi1ence-Santa Claus,
and all other gracious myths.
"An example of generosity is seldom
lost upon children if it is true, not
artificial. They are very willing to
live up to their little knowledge, if we
allow them the chance, and part of
our duty to the day is to encourage in
our young people the same kindness
we cultivate in ourselves. 1t is so
genial. sympathetic and generous than
it is after embittering experiences have
hardened our hearts,

A Hint.

The best OF Christmas joy,
Dear little girl and boy,
That comes on that merrymaking day,
Is the happiness OF giving

Where Santa Claus has never found
