A western lady who formerly lived at
Cambridge. Mass, writes entertaining
ly Of what she declares was the hap
piest Christmas Of her life. The climax
of this merry occasion was house
party given 1T the home of her uncle
not many miles from Cambridge. The
lady writes:
Ny uncle owned a big place about
twenty miles from town, and every
year he invited all his relatives to
spend the Christmas holidays with
him. He was widower with two chill
dren.--a sor rs years old and daugh-
ter of II. This girl, my cousin, Stella,
was one Of the brightest and most
lfun-loving girls | have ever known. l
was just two years her senior, and be-
tween us we managed to stir up that
house party to a degree nothing short
of startling! Twenty people beside
our family were invited, there being
altogether about thirty guests in the
house. Among them were young law
yer from New York tfor whom i'm
mediately conceived a violent admira-
ttion), naval officer, three Yale men
from New Haven, my two brothers, an
antique female cousin of ours cage un-
KNOWN some girls from New York
and young married couple from St.
Louis, Before the end of 9 week Stel-
la and I had almost originated a di-
vorce case, where the young st. Louis
couple were concerned. OF course,
there were some other people, but they
were sort Of chaperones, old fogies who
Cidn't count much. Well, that year
the 25th of December fell on Wednes-
day, and the guests were invited from
Dec. 20 to Jan. 2, and I can tell you
we made Rome howl My brothers
ard I, with our parents, arrived at our
uncle's lato Monday morning. The
snow had been falling steadily for
thirty-six hours, and was many inches
deep.
I'VE drove from the little rickety
station three miles cross country to
the farm. We we're the first arrivals,
and we made coed use Of the advan-
tage over the other invited guests. The
next train, at 4 o'clock, brought them
all, and at they came shouting and

wagons and carriages, borrowed from
the farmers all over that part of the
country. Well, the first evening was
passed in the big dining room. all of
us crowded about the roaring log fire.
That is, all of us, excepting the young
lawyer from New York and-myself.
We were seated on chintz-covered
soap-box, off in dim corner Of the
room, discussing er-the possibilities
of effect Of mistletoe on--a h--mankind.
Before the candles were brought in to
announce the time for disappearing,
we two had begun to understand each
other. It was our first meeting, but in
the country, and at Christmastide, peo-
pie become acquainted very quickly.

use Plenty Of Paper and Cards.

+ No child of today would consider a
present half present except. OF
course, those that Santa Claus with
his own hands hangs upon tree or
tilrasts into a stocking-unless it were
hidden in manifold paper wrappings at
the bottom Of box with bright coli
ored Christmas card lying on top of it.
Anyone accustomed to being with chill
dren will appreciate the pleasure that
the accessories of their Christmas gifts
give them. Every scrap of ribbon, the
tiniest card, tine very scraps of bright
wrapping paper, are all boarded. and
used somewhere for decoration. The
little girl makes sashes of the ribbons
and dresses for her paper dolls of the
tissue wrappings, while the cards serve
as priceless works of art on the walls

In attempting to regulate the apparel
OF the schoolma ans of Kansas City,
the superintendent of schools of that
town is not only getting beyond the
outskirts OF his official authority, but
is also getting so far behind the pro-
cession that there is no possibility of
his being ready for the twentieth cen
fury when it arrives. He has gone on
record as being opposed to movement
that promises more for the liberation
of womankind from the thraldom of
senseless fashion than any similar re-
form Of the century.

Interrogation, as a figure of speech,
may be made quite effective when used
by a writer. but must be treated warily
by the orator, lest 1t provoke discon-
certing replies. Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
delights in repeating a story of his
youthful days in Scotland. He says
that minister, who gave full value for
salary received, and ordinarily
preached for an hour, one morning,
when in splendid condition, spoke for
an hour and half. Then, without
turning a hair, he remarked that what
he had hitherto spoken concerned the
major prophets. He would now turn
10 the minor prophets. But what
place" he asked dramatically. shall
we reserve for Malachi?" Just here
restless sister of the flock rose from
her seat under the pulpit, noisily
dropped her psalm-book, made her way
down the aisle, and after opening the
