HlAWATHA ON BUYING

''Get your purse" said Hiawatha
"Get your fives and tens and twentieS;
Come along with me; my children,
Look the Christmas bargains over,
Buy pair of skates for Willie
Chats no bon mot-skateS for Willie),
Buy a muff for Sister Sadie,
Buy a pair of gloves for DaiSie,
Buy a necktie for dear father,
One of those bright blue arrangements
That the gamblers on the Bowery
Strap around their necks at morning.
Buy ring for your intended
That is if you have Intentions
Buy a solitaire that sparkles
Like the dew drops in the morning,
Like the rain drops On the leaflets
When the MONDAY sun is shining.
Buy a muffler for your uncle,
Buy your aunt a cup and saucer;
AuntS and uncleS cut no figure
With helpossible exception
OF a few stray auntS and uncleS
That are heavy on the wampurn,
That have made their calculations
Sos to help you when they perish.
Buy whisky set for grandpa
Dear old grandpa, he is ailng,
And besides, he has a handbook
That would make old Cassie Chadwick
Look like some one at the poorhouse.
Buy whisky set for grandpa
That includes some awful bourbon
Bourbon on the strychnine order
Bourbon that will chew his stomach
Into shreds and make him like it.
Buying. buying, always buying
That's what Christmas means. my dearies
That's the merry modern Yuletide.
Years ago. in North Dakota,
Dwelt the tribe of the Tfghtwaddos-
Economical Tightwaddos.
Nothing ever left their purses,
Spending never seemed to strike them;
They would pet cents in wampum
Half a day before they'd blow it.
christmas was a simple feast-day
In the land of the Tightwaddos.
Every small papoose would toddle
To the chimney place the evening
Just before the merry Yuletide,
Place a stocking near the fireplace,
Go to bed and dream of presents,
Gorgeous toys and pretty dresses.
Every small papooSe would toddle
In the morning to the fireplace
Peek into the sock aforesaid
And discover in the bottom
Possibly a Sprig of cedar
Or little branch of holly.
With a strip of birch bark near it
Bearing this concise inscription:
Merry ChTistmas-from your parents
ssThis. my children, is the story
OF the thrifty old Tightwaddos
And the way they spread their presents
In the days when money counted
In the days of stingy Injuns.''

in two graceful puffs of the embroidered
crepe with tight bands trimmed with
two tucks between. This model would be
equally effective made of fine cachemire,
voile, cloth, or any other thin, soft
material, and while the hand embroidery
naturally enhances the gown, it is not
absolutely necessary, for an excellent re-
suit could be obtained by substituting
motifs of passementerie or lace for the
embroidery. If this style of trimming is
used care should be taken to select
passementerie with two or more differ
ent sized motifs that can be readily de-
tached, and these should be appliqued IN
a regular design where required. Cut
out silk, cloth and velvet with heavily
embroidered edges are among the most
popular trimmings this season., for they
may be had in the boldest and most
striking designs in motifs, bands and all
overs as well as in fine, dainty patterns
that seem to be adaptable to almost any
purpose.

THE SNOWFLAKE

You caught with wintry hand
A snowflake from the. air,
And asked what sorrow planned
A star so frail and rare.
From what white anvil fly
Such dreams dirninutive?-
Like love- I heard you sigh.
''Too fragile winged to live.''
Yet while you bent and gazed
On that cold beauty, dear,
The star you caught and praised,
See, turned into tear!
And well love understands
How many and many a star
Life seeks with feverish hands,
Swings white, in being afar.
And we, through sigh and tear
Grow wise, and learn again
The love that stoops not, dear.
Is the love that knows not pain!

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM

Brilliant as has been the success
achieved by American ducheSSeS and
counteSSeS in England, few women
from this country WELD as much in
f1uence in London society as does Mrs.
Anthony ]. Drexel, of Philadelphia.
Her tact and charm are more potent
than strawberry leaves and ermine in
Turing royalty to her Mayfair recep-
tions. Indeed, there are members of
the reigning family who regard it as
privilege to be her guests, while as for
the peerage, it puts on no airs with
Mrs. Tony" An invitation to her
London home is a social franchise.
Once seen there, anybody can obtain
entry to the most exclusive circles in
the United Kingdom. Yet with all her
power, and in spite of the overwhelm-
ing attention shown to her not only
by princes of the blood, but by their
majestieS themselves, Mrs. Drexel re-
mains a good American and expresses
as much scorn for the permanent ex-
patriateS as if she never had visited
the other side. OF course, her name
makes her leader in the Quaker City
and insures for her a warm welcome
in Manhattan's best set.
Striking in the extreme was the
cloak Mrs. John Jacob Astor wore to

with a yoke of lace that meant years
of toll for French peasants, and bands
of the same delicate texture running
down the front and around the bottom
A gap of few inches occurred in the
lace about foot from the part. Mar
rover bands confined the big sleeves
below the elbows, whence. they fell In
cuffs with other strips of the lace and
faring frills. Gold clasps fastened the
cloak at the throat and bust, and a
short ermine stole heightened the
snowy effect.

Mrs. Astor at a reception recently
betrayed her fopdness for smoke gray
by wearing frock of that color con-
Sisting of dotted net over taffeta. 1t
was simple affair for a woman whose
opera gowns usually are marvels of
magnifcence, but extremely becoming,
and more suited to the dignity of her
matronhood than the glossy whites in
which she more frequently is seen. The
yoke was shirred and open at the
throat only slightly. A gathered founce
fell from the tight and closely shirred
bodice. There was no girdle, but the
bodice fitted snugly at the waist, and a
hip yoke OF shirring relieved the sever
ity of the upper lines. 1t was full
skirt, with three broad tucks below the
knee line Mrs. Astor's- puff sleeves ex-
tended to her elbow, and the gray mon
otone was set off admirably by black
gloves.

Mrs. Ames and her colleagues think

climax with this closing number. Mrs
