COMING OF THE NEW WEAR.

New Year, i look straight in your eyes,
Our ways and our interests blend
You may be a foe in disguise,
But / shall believe you a friend.
We get what we give in our measure
We cannot give pain and get pleasure;
i give you good will and good cheer,
And you must return 1t, New Year.
We get what we give in this life,
Tho often the giver indeed
Waits long upon doubling and strife
Ere proving the truth of his creed
But somewhere, some way, and forever,
Reward Is the need of endeavor;
And II | am really worth while,
New Year, you will give me your smile.
You hide in your mystical HAND
No luck" that l cannot control
III ! trust my own courage and stand
On the Infinite strength OF my soul.
Man hides in his brain and his spirit
a power that is godlike, or near it
And he who has measured his force
can govern events in their course.
You come with a crown on your brow,
New Year, without blemish or spot;
Yet you, and not /, sir. must bow,
For Time is the servant OF Thought.
Whatever you bring me of trouble
snail turn into good, and then double,
lf my spirit looks up without fear
10 the Source that you came from, Ne
Year.

SENDING CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Some Timely Hints on How the Par
GELS Should BE

OF course, you are going to make every
one of your gifts have a holiday air. You
would never dream of presenting a gift
tied up in a piece of yellow wrapping pa
per, just as if it were a piece of beef
steak or a pound of sugar. You want
your gift to look pretty. which is possible
with anything; for lone up in Christ
mas fashion, even that most prosaic of be-
longings, a flannel petticoat, can be made
to look as dainty and holiday-like as can
be imagined, and a Christmas mince pie
tied up with scarlet ribbons. mistletoe and
holly is a festive looking gift indeed.
So be sure to put some of your money
in tissue paper and narrow ribbon to wrap
your Christmas presents and tie them
with. White tissue paper is the most
popular for this purpose. Red and green
are the Christmas c%olors; many women
use cherry-colored baby ribbon, or very
narrow satin ribbon in the bright hue
with a bunch of holly tied smartly on ton.
Others prefer pink or pale blue baby rib
bon either gives a dainty finish to the
snowy tissue covered parcel.
The gift should first be folded in the
tissue paper. not forgetting to place in
side the visiting card with the words of
greeting written upon it. Then the rib
bons are tied about it. Be sure to tie
them in a bow-knot. Hearts are impa-
tent and fingers nervous on Christmas
morning, and if the ribbons get into a
snarl one hates to use a scissors or a
knife upon the cords that loving hands
have bound around a gift. If the present
can be given in the home circle, a sprig
of holly is pretty to so on top. If the
package is to be delivered by messenger.
the ordinary wrapping paper comes out
side of all, and the package may be again
tied about with ribbon, and perhaps a
piece of holly fastened to the bow.
The college GIRL" true to her colors.
ties her gifts with ribbons in the sym
bolic hues of her alma mater.
One can carry this idea of symbolism
to any extent.
If you are sending a gift to a friend in
Canada, tie it with the red, white and
blue.
If you are sending a gift to a baby. tie
it up with blue ribbons if the baby is a
girl, pink ribbons if it is a boy.
If you are sending a gift to a friend in
another city, tie it with your own citv
colors.
If you are artistic, you will probably

have hand-painted in white tissue paper.

The correct German Christmas tree al
ways has al angel or Il C~hristkind on
the ,opmost branch. with a tinsel star
at the end of a staff, like a pantomime

orthodox family there is usually at it's
foot Il small toy group representing the
Saviour's birth in the stable at Bethle-
hem.
The lights III the tree are said to be
of Jewish origin. In the ninth month OF
the Jewish year. corresponding nearly to
our December. and OH The twenty-fifth
day. the Jews celebrated the feast OF ded-
ication of their temple. 1t had been desc
Grated OF that day by .Antiochus. It was
dedicated by Judas Maccabeus. and then.
according to the Jewish legend. sufficient
oil was found in the temple to last for the
seven branched candlestick for seven
days, and it would have taken seven days
to prepare new oil. Accordingly the Jew.
were wont on the 25rh of Nisleu in every
house to light Il candle, on the next dax

last day OF the feast seven candles twin

1t is not easy TO fix the exact date of
the Nativity, but ii fell most probably on
the last day of kislcu. when every Jewish
house i'll Bethlehem and Jerusalem was
twinkling with lights. 1t is worthy of
notice that the German name for Christ
mas is Feihnacbt (the night of dedica-
tion). as though it were associated with
this feast. The Greeks also call Christ

A kind and eager publisher.
To every chorus girl I'd bring
The sweet ability to sing:
And every babe that squalls at night,

Then joy should seek the widows soul.
I'd fill her empty bin with coal,

In making our bow to the citizens Of
Wilmington and State Of Delaware it
IS with degree Of embarrassment and
qualification. Embarrassment because
we have had to contend with those
various material hindrances which time
and success alone can surround; and
qualification that II is given to us, as
to individuals. to hold up certain ideals
OF thought, maintain certain opinions
and stand for a definite policy in such
n community.
The Sunday American has a field and
a mission. The field is this glorious
state of ours, the mission to uphold,
spread and defend the principles of true
Democracy in this city and state.
The Sunday American will be a
party paper without being an organ Of
partisan prejudice. It will be a news
paper not a personal organ in which
those who are our personal opponents
may find themselves lampooned and
ridicuied 1t win strive to find a
sphere Of usefulness in this community
which no other of the local papers has
found
we shall strive to approach nearer
our ideal as the days go by, hoping as
