a Business Woman,s Axiom.

Mrs. Mary Phelps Montgomery of
Portland, Ore, is thoroughly representa-
tive of the best type of the conservative
business woman of today.
When YOU ask her question she thinks
deliberately, studying you with level, cool
eyes, and when she speaks her words ale
well chosen and convey the impression
that she means everything she says and
is willing to abide by it, She is one of
the very wealthy women of the west and
her interests are all under her immediate
personal control.
Cant you give me some axiom for
the business woman / asked her. She
thought a moment, weighing her words
well before she answered.
Il believe | can. The business woman
should forget her sex and demand no
consideration that a business man is not
entitled to. Her office should not extend
to her drawing room, nor should her so
cial life be an element in her business
affairs Prom THE Ladies of the
Worlds Fair" by Ben Blow in Nation

BETHLEHEM'S CHRISTMAS.
Natal Day of Christ Is Celebrated with
omp and Splendor in Historic
Town of Palestine

Bethlehem. the real home of Christ
mas. celebrates the INITIAL day of the
Saviour with pomp and spiendor. On
Christmas day, at this little town in
Palestine, so replete with historic inter
est, the religions of the world unite in
paying homage 10 the birthplace of
Christ
The celebration of Christmas in Beth
lehem reyerses the order of the life of
the great prophet whose birth it com
memorates. Christ was born in Bethle.
hem, died in Jerusalem, whereas observ-
ances begin in the city of the crucitxion
and end in the city of nativity.
The tive-mle pilgrimage is one of the
chief features of the celebration. 1t is
marked by the greatest pomp, for all the
patriarchs of the Roman Catholic, Greek
ana Oriental churches reside in J2ruSa-
lem, and their solemn passage from one
city to another is an event of the most
solemn Importance.
The great procession starts from jcru-
salem at o'clock in the afternoon 1t
is headed by picked company of sew
eral hundred mounted young men, ma
tive inhabitants and members of the
Roman Catholic church.
A body of Turkish cavalry. in pic
tUresque garb, carrying whole arsenal
of guns and pistols and lances in rest,
comes peXt, on line horses. with bright
and numerous trappings. Behind these
ride special guards OF the patriarch, in
gitterng ianissary costume
Directly behind this special guard
comes the patriarch, with his suite OF
priests, forming a contrast in their broad
low crowned hats ami somber black
cloaks to the gorgeous mass of color pre-
ceding them To the western eye the
striking feature about these priests is
that in defiance of all the Oriental canons
Of the Catholic church they wear full
black boards. As France is protector
Of the Catholic church in Palestine, the
French consul, consular attaches and
suite in full uniform form the official pol
ton of the procession.
Next in order come the guests of the
convent, noble foreign pilgrims. consuls
and consular attaches from Jerusalem.
The church is brilliant with the light of
thousands Of wax candles ana olive oil
lamps of gold and silver, suspended by
chains.
4 sudden cessation Of the organ tones
and the chanting causes silence through
out the vast crowd. 1t is midnight. the
hour of the Holy Nativity. A clock be
gins to ring out twelve rich. clear strokes.
The seventh candle il lighted on the nj
tar. A velvet curtain, heavy with gold,
is drawn back; the image of an infant
wrapped in cloth becomes visible. The
big bell in the convent tower rings; AGO
lytcs swing censers of begemmed gold
and silver: clouds of fragrant incense
fill the church; priests, friars and chor-
listers chant in unison, GLORIA. Gloria,
in Excess.' After this the procession
to the grotto of the nativity, the actual
spot. the lowly manager where, nineteen
centuries ago the Christ child came to
earth.
During the rest of the night masses are
held in the grotto by the Franciscan IA

A Novel Addition to a Dinner.

Nuts to crack if not TO eat, are n
nice addition to a dinner menu. These
are to be served, not at the close of the
meal with bonbons, but with an ice just
before the meal course. Select nice large
English walnuts, and, with sharp knife.
open the shell, keeping the two halves un-
broken. Roll up slip of paper, upon
which is written a question, and place in
the shell after removing the kernel. Then
fasten the edges of the shell together.
This can easily be done with a little
liquid glue ON toothpick. The maid
will serve the nuts, placing two or more
upon the plate holding the sherbet cup.
To further carry out the deception nut
picks are placed next the sherbet spoons,
Nut crackers are passed and, of course,
the first one using them, who would
probably be the guest of honor, would
discover that the nuts were food for
thought" Cards with pencils are then
to be passed, upon which to write the
answers. All stiffness disappears, and
conversation becomes general as the diff
ferent questions are read off.
After the dinner the cards are correct

Children and Studies.

Most mothers experience the tempta-
ton to push their children forward in
their studies" says a mother with yari-
Gus interesting theories on the upbringing
of children. This Is great mistake,
for undeveloped brains should not be
strained with work, any more than un-
developed muscles. A little child should
not be hurried, and no mother should be
worried if her child does not show great
brillancy. 1t is really better for him to
grow slowly, if steadily, in intellect.
And the same is true of boys and
girls in their teens. MANY a young phe-
nomenon' in school has Iurned into an un-
mitigated bore in later life. without any
originality of any kind, while some Of the
greatest men in art, literature, etc. were
considered ounces in school. Though
they seemed at the time to he stupid.
they were really growing, and their minds
were stronger for this slow. steady
growth. Our colleges and schools are be
ginning to recognize this when they re-
fuse to admit pupils under a stated age
at is the height Of folly and cruelty to
ridicue stupid children, as some teachers
often do Their sl0WneSS does not al
ways mean natural stupidity. and even
if il does it is none the less brutal. for a
person can no more help having a weak
brain than he can help having a weak
body or deformed features.
"The feelings of children are apt to be
much more sensitive than grown people
think they are Kindness and sympathy
will often bring out the latent intelligence
and quickness of a young mind where
harshness would only succeed in stupefy-
ing it.
"A mother must also see that her chill

as they are mentally. They must have

Consider What 1t May Cost
To Woo the Girl Who Loves You.

Lovers are enthusiastic creatures be-
cause they see everything through rose
colored spectacles. so they often become
engaged before the prospective bride
groom has attained a position that will
warrant marriage, and he lives in hopes
that this desideratum will be fulfilled in
the natural course of things in due time.
AS a rule disappointment awaits him,
the strugg is very keen, and a position
is attained only as result of hard work
and the display of considerable ability.
Instead of devoting his time to the ac-
QUESTION of knowledge, he spends it with
his adored one. and so decreases his
chances of securing the position.
So much for his time; now for his cash.
You cannot take a young woman about
two or three times a week without con-
siderable expense, and money spent is,
naturally, so much less saved.
The result is that marriage has often
to be delayed because there is not enough
in the bank to purchase a fitting home
or it may be that an illfurnished home
has to do for the start, or a loan may be
negotiated to make up the deficiency.
In any of these three cases the start is
a bad one and does not tend to make
things smooth during the first portion of
the married career.-COlumbus Dispatch.
