Christmas Goodies.

Our liking for sweets is an inherited one
and of such long standing it may really
be considered a natural taste with present
generations The origin of the sugar plum
dates back to Roman times. for it was a
certain noted confectioner. Julius Dragatus,
belonging to the noble and iHustrious fam
lily of Eabius. who first thought of cover
ing almonds with layers of sugar. There is
a custom still observed in Europe by some
of the nobility of distributing these swee +
meats (dragatD on occasions eff great re
joicing, such births and marriages.
This is probably the first candy of which

Italian coEfectioner, a rrotege Of the Me-

The French 'parlines' or burn almonds

Another change is predicted for the
fashionable feminine form divine
Whether there is anything substantial
in the rumor or not time only can
prove. The forecasts of the women
fashion writers are certainly not to be
depended upon invariably. Many of the
attempts of fashionable modistes and
tailors to foist expensive changes in
fashions upon their clientele meet with
ignOminious failure. and often it re-
quires several seasons to educate the
public taste to q new fad The low
busted, long-waisted figure which has
been in vogue for the past two years

steadily upon feminine fancy and now
when women have little more than mas
tered the problem of making the bust
and waist lines very low a change is
announced.
The new figure, which it IS said is
already displayed by fashionable cloak
and suit models in New York, is char
acterized by notable lack of curves.
Some one has complained that it is not
artistic. but that is not likely to MAKE
much difference in it's popularity. Not
even the influence of the women's art
clubs has been able to make the Venus
de Milo figure fashionable. We rave
over the Grecian statues when we see
them in galleries and museums. and We
cOVet their reproductions for the deco
ration of our homes. but we still cling &c
