But this spirit of Christmas which
is to find its expression in the gift of
loving service is not the spirit of mere.
~benevolence. Kindness that is not in
spired by comradeship is not beautiful
at all. 1t may be pity from a proud
heart, but that is not friendship, and
it is not the deep brotherly love of
Christianity. Men needs friends more
than they need aims. We all need
each others friendships. We are in
separately bound together as men of
one race and men of all races. The
powerful need the sympathy and rec
ognition of the humble, the rich of the
poor, and the cultured of the unrefined,
and for this reason the life which finds
its expression in unaffected and uni
versal friendship is the life which has
most nearly caught the spirit of Christ
and of Christmas. Let us give gifts,
and among them that larger gift of
loving service. Thus will the spirit
of Christmas be shed abroad and make
the world brighter and better.

GIRL WITH PEARLY TEETH.
Solution of Boric Acid Makes Cheap
and Good Mouth Wash-occa-
sionally Use Charcoal.

There are so many excellent anti
septic solutions on the market de-
signed especially to assist in the care
of the mouth and teeth that mention
of any n of them rather than an
other would be invidious. If the ex.
pense of these be not desired, then a
pound of boric acid may be purchased
at the druggists, and this dissolved

full to a pint of boiling water. Let it
cool and bottle it. Do not make more
than a pint at a time. for the fresher
the solution the better it's results.
The proper manner of brushing the
teeth is to brush them up and down as
well as crosswise. In fact, the up and
down brushing must come first, both
in the inside and outside surface OF
the gums.
The gums themselves, too, must be
vigorously brushed. If they are tender
and inclined to bleed upon the appli.
cation of the brush, the mouth must
be well rinsed with a solution of warm
water in which half a teaspoonful OF
ordinary table salt and a tablespoon.

alcohol, but will furnish the absolute
alcohol IL requested-for wood alcohol
is a deadly poison, not only in its ap-
plication as a liquid, but ever the
fumes arising from an unsupported
bottle containing wood alcohol have
been known to work serious injury.
Little disorders Of the stomach have
a marked effect upon the teeth Sour
stomach will soon give rise to tartar
on the teeth; and this is best removed
in the early stages by a dentifrice of
powdered pumice stone. This a
readily be obtained of any druggist;
but a wise precaution is to run it
through a fine boiling cloth-or even
a fine soft cheesecloth will do-so that
all gritty matter is removed. The
teeth must be thoroughly brushed with
this, and care must be taken to re-
move every particle of the pumice
stone, since it is especially destructive
to the enamel. The mouth must be
we'll rinsed, and plenty of soft bread,
corn pone or cake eaten afterward,
so that there is not a trace of the
dentifrice remaining. If the tartar has
been permitted to grow, then it will
need the skill of a good dentist to
remove it without injuring the teeth.
In spite of all that is said against
1t, a finely powdered charcoal makes
the best dentifrice. No need to use
it oftener than two or at the most
three times a week, and be careful to
remove every trace Of it after using.
If there is the slightest break or ir-
regularity in the enamel of the tooth,
the charcoal will surely find lodgment
there, and a discolored spot will re-
suit; but If soft bread be chewed, each
tiny particle will surely be removed.
Charcoal has the property, too, of
opposing putrifaction and destroying
vices of the gums,

HOW TO WALK WELL.

Don't drag your feet or fling them, nor
lag nor stride. Learn to glide into a
room gracefully.
1t is impossible for a woman to be
awkward in her walk If she turns her
toes out and keeps her knees stiff. The
act of swinging the feet out gives one
a graceful gait.
Set your feet down at right angles.
Walk slowly. Skirts wind round your
calves when you walk rapidly and all
semblance of grace is lost. Walk in a
leisurely n as if you were a prin-
cess, not a hurried, worried, overworked
woman.
Don't swing your shoulders.
Don't swing your arms.
Don't twist yourself in sinuous mo-
ton. Don't comfort. Don't wiggle.
Hold your chin up. This is the most
important thing Of all.
Don't walk nor look o act like an
old person. There are no old persons
in these days.
Ioucn the ground first with the balls
of your feet, with the heels striking an
instant later.
Hold your shoulders back; don't try
to draw them down.
Learn how to be seated. Don't sit
with your clothes wound up around you.
Don't sit on the ragged sdge of things.
BE seated sqlarely.
When you walk consider the style of
you dress. If you are dragging a train
walk slowly. The longer and the heav-
Ter the gown the slower you must walk.
If your dress is light and short you can
walk more rapidly.
And first, last and at all times, be dig
nifed.
An ungraccful walk will spoil the
most elegant gown that the dressmak-
er's art can design.

Carving
the Christmas
Turkey

To carve the Christmas turkey skill
fully and successfully requires a
knowledge more than that acquired by
general observation. To the amateur
carver as he watches the practiced
hand it seems the simplest thing in
the world, but when he attempts to
duplicate the feat he soon discovers
that a careful study of the birds an
atomy is necessary.
At the Christmas dinner the turkey
is of first Importance and the proper
handling o. the fowl means much
toward the success of the Wand.
The host usually manipulates the
carving knife and fork. There seems
to be a tradition that on this day the
bird in all its brown and savory splen-
dor should be placed intact upon the
table. A thin, sharp-bladed knife and
