about tho word Chriatmas.

Mrs. Mary Trammoll Scott has
the following timely suggostion as
to tho popular mannor of writing
Christmas:
"Let no thoughtless paragrapher
writ" it Nmas," sho protests, and
continuing says further:
"l've often boon tempted to make
this abbreviation, but have always
boon provontod by Il fooling that
has novor boon analyzod until now.
Tho custom Of making this sign for
Christmas is becoming 30 univer
""l that it is destroying tho bonuty Of
one OF tho most beautiful words in
written English. Even on calendars
and dainty Christmas cards we ECO
this grotesquo word, The day that
celebrates tho dearest, tonderest and
most important event of all history
IL year after yoar boing deseorated
IN tho way it is boing spent and now
must wo have tho word itself shorn
OF its beauty by lazy Authorization.

according to Wobster; a loving trib-
ute paid to One who bore but LAID

OF marring their manuscript with q
slang expression do not hesitate to
take an unlawful liberty with this
word. No loxicographer has licen-
sod it yet, 30 far as know; then,
according to good English, it IS in
correct, and whom we stop to think
about it, it is irreverent.

EL,zAsErHAN CLOTHING

How the Nobility Dressed In the Reign
of Good Queen Bess.
Elizabeth's day was a day of beauty
and extravaganza in mems dress as
well as women's. When Queen Eliza
beth took up the reins of government,
happiness and prosperity once more
spread throughout the kingdom. 1t
was in these days when England's
trade, led by those renowned voyagers,
Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Francis
Drake, began to stretch to the remotest
corners of the globe. Money flowed into
Britains Golfers. and the Britishers
spent it freely. The nobility maintain
ed large retinues of knights. squires,
household retainers, and servants. and
entertained royalty every day. At an
entertainment given the queen by the
Earl of Leicester, the most astonishing
prodigality was displayed. Among
other sumptuous details, it was report
ed that 365 hogsheads of beer were
consumed. The cardinal of the realm
had in his household over 500 persons.
Magnificent dress was the natural ac-
compartment of this style of living
A gentleman's clothes were made of
rich satin and velvets of divers hues.
His sleeves were pulled out until the
shape of his arm was entirely hidden:
his doublet was stuffed from the
shoulders down to the waist; and his
trunk hose were enormously padded
from the thigh to the knee, this whole
suit being deliberately slashed so as to
show the rich Innings beneath. That
glory of the Elizabethan days, the
starched ruff, gave the finishing touch
to costume that was already so stiff
and padded that if a knight were I'M
fortunate enough to drop his hat or
his cane, he had to call for servant
to pick it up for him. These mon
strously pulled clothes became even
greater in size during the reign of the
following monarch, for James L, being
a timid king and fearful of asSassina-
ton, looked with great favor upon
these padded clothes as a defense
against the dirk or stiletto. To such
an extent was this full-blown style of
clothes carried that all of a sudden
it burst. From pads and rufus and
wire frames, fashion suddenly veered
around to simple, easy and graceful
style. 1t was no longer the ambition
of a gentleman to appear as fat and
burly as padding and stiffening could
make him. It was now his object to
be slim, graceful and elegant. His
dress became a close fitting doubiet,
petticoat breeches, boots with wide,
tapping tops, and a short cape. This
suit was tastefully ornamented with
delicate lace and embroidery. Alto
gether this is considered the best era
of dress in England.-St. Nicholas.

Borrrer Gropbic Picture.

Of Professor TAFT, who has resigned
the chair of natural philosophy at
Edinburg university, J. M. Barrie has
drawn a graphic picture in his 'Edin-
burgh Eleven Il have his figures

twinfling eyes had a fascinating
CLEAN in them; he could concentrate
them until they held the object look
ed at; when they flashed around the
room he seemed to have drawn ra-
pier. 1 have seen a man fall back in

drove ball thirty yards farther.
