SOME HINTS FOR YOUR
CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Here are. Just few suggestions for
Christmas gifts such as one girl might
make for another:
A Foot Cushion-This is made from
cheap and very hard piazza cushion, such
as Is not at all comfortable for the back,
but is lust the thing TO rest tired feet. A
large, plump one should be chosen, and
over the very vivid color that il Is sure
10 have a cover OF Velveteen i'm some dull
are shade is put on. In that dress 1t Will
look very elegant. and the Velveteen Will
wear well. AS foot rest IL is far more
comfortable than any shape OF hassock
and it is better looking In a boudoir.
A Ribbon Chest-Ths is box some
what like a shoe chest, and should be
burnt in an effective decoration. inside II
is divided into compartments by sachets.
and i'm each is cylinder on which TO wind
the ribbons. The latter are made of quar-
ter-pound baking powder tins covered
with cotton batting and silk. -Four little
white-headed pins for tacking the ribbons
10 the roll should be stuck in the cover
ing of each.
For the Dressing Table-,Not as yet
much used is the mirror tilt tiny pad
made from a bit of brocade or soft
suede nine by five inches, made into
roll or bag filled with scented cotton, A
bow fastened to one end having half
yard loop TO fasten 10 the screw by which
the mirror is tilted will be sure 10 keep
this clever little device handy.
Suede Card Cases--WhoeVer can do
proderie Anglals on cloth can probably do
the same on suede and this, backed with
self toned silk makes UP into charming
card cases
Waist Wrapper.-'rhesr make a novel
and inexpensive gift They are yard-and-
a-half lengths of aood quality cheesecloth,
feather-stitched around the hem with
bright silk. Initials are worked in the
corner. To fold around fine dress waists
that are TO be kept in drawers or packed
i'm trunks, they will be found indispens-
able, and a great Improvement on the tis-
sue paper many women use for this pur-
pose
Electric Light Shades.-To sensitive
eyes the glare OF electric light bulbs is
very trying. gift that will be appre-
ciated by one who travels and must spend
time in rooms where the lights are not
shaded, is a set OF three little bags OF the
thnnest and finest India silk or gauze.

MARRIAGE AMONG THE
MIDDLE-AGED FOLKS

The marrying age Is steadily receding,
and ii is quite within the range OF prob
ability that forty-one will be regarded In
the future as the equivalent OF the present
twenty-one.
This is partly due TO the keenness of
the struggle for existence; a man desires
TO attain n position before marrying, and
he finds the years slipping by with dis
turbing rapidity while he is climbing the
ladder
Both men and women, too, fear that
they may be deceived and may enter
into partnership with one who will turn
out to be undesirable.
So they will spend the earlier years and
then the glamor OF this single life will
year off. They will have gained expert
ence enough 10 enable them TO pudgc
character with fair accuracy. and they
will thus be less fearful of being taken
in"
They will feel that after all. IL Is better
To settle down with a partner And then
marriage will come in middle age. The
love making will not be the same. but IL
may well be more solid fre-quieter.
but more enduring.

FOOLISH TALK.

There is absolutely no need OF the hystercal
discussion and sinister predictions that have fol-
lowed Japan's mild and courteous protest against
the segregation of Japanese pupils in the public
schools at San Francisco.
There is no danger OF war as some perfervid
jingocs persist in declaring. The incident is an
unfortunate one no doubt, but it will be settled
without international clash because an equitable
and just basis of settlement exists and will be
found.
While Americans are greatly magnifying the
difficulty, the Japanese themselves betray no dis
more to our credit if we assumed the same calm
and dignihed attitude does Viscount Aoki, the
Japanese minister at Washington.
There is no agitation in Japan" he says
there is no feeling against the United States
among our people. 1t is all in San Francisco and
III Europe and in the newspapers. Our people
fully advised of the facts. We willing TO leave
everything to your president and your secretary of
state and your courts
The Japanese are ready to submit their con-
tcrton to the peaceful decision of courts. They
have not the most remote intention Of resort
ing TO the arbitrament OF arms. What folly then,
to talk Of war!
In orderly fashion there will be determine
tcn of the rights and privileges of the Japanese
under the treaty entered into between this govern
ment and that of the mSado. Under the direction
of the secretary of state representatives of the de-
partnent of justice in California will at once insti-
tute proceedings to test the validity of the
called "Mongoan law
In the event that the courts decision is that
the law is ineffective and void because it contra
venes the provisions of treaty which is the "su-
prcme law of the land" and, therefore binding
upon all the states, the controversy will end there
and then for in spite of the bumptious talk of
of her citizens California will hardly be fatuous
as to refuse to recognize the binding force of such
a decree
1t is the president of the San Francisco school
board who makes this singularly silly statement: #:
I'VE will not recede from the position we have
taken, and we believe that our action will be
tanned by public sentiment throughout the state,
even il the courts should declare it TO be unconsti-
tutonal or a violation of treaty rights"
1t is a safe prediction that this top-ofty indi-
vidual will discover before many days have passed
that the president of local school committee
neither override nor ignore the authority of the
sovereign people of this republic.
