A QUEENS CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
For Royalty Likes Holiday Remembrance
as Well as Other Folks.

Boys and girls may suppose that roy
atty does not condescend to accept Christ
mas gifts from subjects, but it is true
that powerful Sovereigns have often re-
celved these expressions of loyalty and af-
lection with very genuine pleasure.
Queen Elizabeth doubtless enjoyed her
Christmas gifts as much as any boy or
girl of the Nineteenth century. and did
actually hang up her stocking every
Christmas eve. Indeed, the first pair Of
silk stockings ever worn in England was
received by her majesty as 4 Christmas
gift.
On Christmas day, 1861, the archbish-
OPP Of Canterbury gave the Queen f4O in
a red silk purse, and lady of the court
Elizabeth carried about both of these
presents for several days, showing them
to the courtiers and ladies in waiting
On the same day John Belts, pastry
cook, sent her a pie made of ounces,
with which Elizabeth was SO delighted
that she presented to HIM two spoons of
solid gold. Her physician sent her pot
or orange blossoms and a jar of ginger.
and her apothecary box of lozenges and
pot of conserves. But Notwithstanding
eliza beth's good sense. she had a passion
for dress. Her subjects knew this weak
ness. and every Christmas season they
presented her with expensive additions
to her elegant wardrobe-many of them
richly embroidered. One superb garment
was made in Venice and deliberately en-
Groldered with Venetian gold. In that
day presents of wearing apparel were not
considered in bad form. Indeed Eliza
beth had so many magnificent gowns that
her wardrobe is said to have contained
the astonishing number of two thousand
at the time of her death.-Zitella Cooke

gaudy booths presided over by fat pur-

ing procertjes and watfles; long rows of
hooded tilburys were drawn up beside
the canal, their shafts tilted in the air,
and the fat, hollow acked horses eating
hay from the baskets. IT'S the day OF
Stint Nic'laas which answers to our
Christmas day, and which falls Oh the

crowded merry go-rounds, at which the
older peasants stolidly cape. The girls
on the stiff, vanished lions, giraffes and
camels, squeal eXcitedly as the engine
moves faster, the silver and gold head
dresses CLEAN prettily through the lace of
their caps and over all is the raucous
voice of the persuasive Snowman, elO-
quent over the charms of the fat woman
and the iron jawel man. There is a sud

is the coming Of the skating contestants,
stout, squat-looking fellows, on phenome-

Origin of Christmas Cards.

Christmas cards, by the way, formed
no part of Dickens conception of Christ
mas The first Christmas card was
painted by lady of noble birth in Ber-
lin thirty-one years ago. 1t grew, out of
desire to send simple souvenir to a
cousin of hers who was in the diplo-
matte service of William l., then King
of Prussia and afterward German En-
peror. The lady and the cousin had
been lovers until they were parted by a
msundersta nding. While recovering
from a severe illness she painted a spray
of forget-me-nots on a card and inscribed
on it few words in gold letters, the
translation of which is given thus: MAY
the Christ Child rest on your heart and
bring you peace and happiness"
This she dispatched on Christmas eve
to the count by faithful friend, who
managed matters with such tact that the
lovers We're reconciled and lived happily
ever after. When Yuletide came round
again. they told their story to some init
mate friend at court The Prussian no.
bility adopted this method of sending
good wishes and polite greetings during
the holiday season. Printed cards ap-
peared shortly after this and trade in
them soon grew up. The folding card.

Women Who Are Slow to Paw.

Credit at the retail shops is one of the
pfettleSt toys that some women have TO
play with, says The Sun.
ANY single woman of moderate means.
or any married woman whose husband
has the reputation of being good pay,
easily obtains such credit Once OBJ

rare charged to her account lust as if
the shop were her club.
Ii is true that the retailer, while glad
TO grant credit to any person who seems
worthy OF it, is never quite sure what
Will happen when the name of a woman
goes on his books The trouble is not
that women are less likely to pay their
DEBTS than men, but that they are less
busnesslike
Some OF them, indeed, seem incapable
OF learning the ordinary ethics of bust
ness. 1t is said at the shops that the
average woman does not easily grasp
the significance Of the phrase monthly
settlements usually placed on bills She
does not realize that the merchant really
wishes, as far as possible, to limit ordi-
nary credits to thirty days
Women who have had credit for half a
lifetime will disregard this little warning
until credit is withdrawn. The with
drawal Of credit, however, is not ordi-
narily resorted to unless the delinquent
is small purchaser or an object of real
susnicion to the shop.
When the threat of withdrawal comes

angry and surprised. Her reply is either

And he reads-and he gets to remembering,

He walks througs the streets and sees

He hears happy voices, and knows what
they mean,

The church bells are ringing" Rejoice,
YER they say:
The choirs are singing-he trudges away,
And sits down alone, at the close of the

Poor old bachelor.
The hair that falls over his timples is

Long long he looks out at the gloom of the

On table beside him an old picture lies
That he took from some place near his

And something like tears seem to CLEAN In
his eyes
