Candlesticks are decorative. utilitari-

Christmas gifts?
A pair of highly polished brass can

polish reflects the thrift of the house

The genuine antique candlesticks,
with their quaint, simple outlines. are
preferable to the more modern affairs

q was enjoying luncheon with him recently

his conversation. In a moment of confidence
and with perhaps a mischievous purpose Of
decoying him into an expression of possible
further political ambitions he might entertain,
! said:
" Senator. you have great wealth and many
honors, and l know that you are a man Of
abundant happiness; but do you not at times
cherish a wish for something in addition TO all
your present achievement

had been looking along the table at several
dishes which he had not tasted, for, although
he is blessed with rare constitution, he does
not eat TO excess.
Yes, l have a wish he replied and it is
very similar to one expressed by an ancient
