A CHRISTMAS CANTATA
FOR THE CHILDREN
Santa Claus Brigade Contains Catchy Songs Set to Fa-
miIiar Ars- Can Be Easily Learned by Schools or the
Youngsters at Family Reunions

Every Decen Der there is cry for
some novelty that can be performed by
little children without much trouble.
Time is valuable at the Christmas sea-
son and it is not desirable that the
words should be many or difficult.
Here is a suggestion that may help
those who wish. without elaborate
preparation, to get up a small enter
tainment which shall serve to differ
entiate the Christmas season from 9TH
err holidays. 1t would take little time
to teach the following verses to Sun
day-school children, or to arrange it
for the breaking up day of a primary
school, or to have them sung by the
juvenile members of some large fam
lily which once year comes together
for a Christmas dinner.
The name of the cantata is Santa
Claus Brigade, and bright children
can readily learn it in a week or so.
The costumes may be as simple or
as elaborate as desired. There is a fine
chance for fancy dressing, while on
the other hand the holiday clothes of
the children would serve to make an
effect sufficiently decorative.
The part of Santa Claus should be
taken by an older boy or a man. The
members of the brigade should COM
prise as many children as can be i'm

A summary of the seasons fashions
shows no marked preference for any,
thing except originality. So many
models are offered that the shop dis
plays are frequently more dazing than
enlightening; and even if one meets
with a garment in conventional cut the
growing taste for individuality is re-
vealed in some little touch never en-
eountered before.
In short. so much scope is allowed
that the woman on modish folderols
bent has only to know her points" to
be suited. If she doesn't know them,
let her seek out the best miliners and
dressinakers and yield herself to their
judgment.
Beginning with headgear where is
the hat shape which fashion dictates
as the thing? Big and little hats are
seen; hats low crowned, high-cro wned
with fiat and with curving brims: side
titled hats, hats turned up or down at
the back and some slanting sharply
over the face or faring boldly away
from 1t.
The trimmings which deck these,
however. depend largely upon the style
of the headpiece, though they are all

line Outstanding bows, aigrettes, and
buDchy rosettes may ornament small

Varlably treated fatty.
The low French sailors with upcurv-
ing brim need the smallest SCRAP of
trimming to be effective, and even pic
turesque hats, as compared with for
mer methods, are now rather simply
treated. black or white ostrich
feather forms the entire trimming in
many cases.
Very long and equally extravagant
in width, the best plumes completely
encircle lace crowns, with the fluffy
ends falling, perhaps, at the back over

emphasized by allowing the heavy

Inc combination of a lace crown
with fur brim is a frequent feature

One detail is a disputed point-the
rear rall OF trimming which so many
exaggerations have made vulgar in a
way. Many milliners declare that
this feature will disappear entirely be-
fore long. Meanwhile, fair woman is
deciding the question of taste for her
self, and one sees the becoming "taip'

The belief in the hereditary trans

foothold in the popular mind, but most
careful observations have failed to give
it sufficient support. A we'll known

after carefully looking into the his
tory of hundreds of cases that the chill

cial susceptibility to the disease, I'M
less the same causes that favored its
development in the first place continue

model of many. The coat is single or
doubled breasted. Often there is a
shoulder cape, and maybe three. and
the bias tails are very long. Even the
pOstilIion tail is now carried down to
incredible lengths, which is accounted
for, perhaps, by the plain habit cut
of so many of the skirts. One shirred
skirt in the market is almost skin
tight to the knees, from where the
plain portion hangs in a deep fiounce.
Smarter skirts, those which train to
some extent, show the ever popular
shaped fiounce. side pleats, hip yokes,
and tunic effects.
AS to the high, dressy bodice, it is
looser in fit than ever. Dropping cape
collars of many sorts drop over its
shoulders, there is frequently a fancy
vest of some description, and it's
sleeves grow daily more picturesque.
With some of the richer gowns the
arm coverings are, for all the world,
like those seen in the paintings of the

The costume jackets cannot be de-
scribed with the same despatch. Their
models are without number, and their
trimmings include everything from
bone buttons to leather bands. Velvet
and fur are used on the boucle cloths,
whose hairy surfaces sometimes sug-
gest all manner of irrelevant things.
For example, a walking gown of
scarlet and black boucle was a queer
reminder of the coquetries of other
days. Against the red background the
curling black hairs were matted to-
gether in distinct locks-"beau catch
