A Just Before Christmas Party.

The choosing of guests for a Christ
mas eve party is Il difficult and delicate
matter; for Christmas, more than any
other time. is essentially a family hol-
members flock homeward, and when
present members are drawn more closer
together. 1t certainly behooves the
would-be hostess to go gently. lest her
invitations rush in where angels fear
TO tread, and prove the unhappy means
OF dividing households that prefer to re-
main undivided. Perhaps the only per-
sons that it is really altogether safe to
invite are the detached bachelors, the
lonely. far-from-hOme schoOlma ans the
childlcss, the widowed and the orphaned.
But when the scattered members of Il
large family flock homeward with their
accumulated babies. husbands, boys,
girls or wives, that is a different matter.
The house-mother finds herself confront
ed with the problem of giving her flock
Il good time Christmas Eve.
No Christmas party should be formal
how can it be. when the guests ages
range anywhere from two to nnety-twO
And. of course. with big dinner inn
pending the next day. the refreshments
for just-bofore-C Christmas party should
be exceedingly simple. If they can be
prepared by the party itself while the
mcIrimcnt is in full swing, SO much
the better. Susan can make chocolat"
fudge. George can pop cOrn-With the
pretty cousin helping-or Grace can
toast chcStnuts over the CHEEKY crate fire.
If games are played, they should be
"Circlc' games. suited to any age or any
intelligence. In one household much
sport resulted from a simple little game
hastily invented for a Christmas Eve
emergency. 1t was played precisely like
the od-fashioned game of stage coach, y
but each guest was named for one or AN
other of the nouns in the well known
poem:
Twas the night before Christmas. ana all
through the house
Not Il creature was stirring-not even a
mouse
The hostess read the verses very
slowly and impressively, and the person
named for each noun stood M when his
noun was mentioned. turned around and
eravey saluted all the other guests. IL

These are the days when perplexed
ladies with pencils i'll their hands and
frowns upon their brows are to be OBJ
served running wildly to and fro, gnash-
ing their teeth and eXclaming: What

The air is full Of distressed meditations

The man who perceives these signs of
the season wherein we are all supposed
to express our fondness for each other

not his way.
Instead of fusSing and fretting for six

Newest Wrappings for Xmas Gifts.

There never was a time when so much
attention was given to the wrappings of
the Christmas gifts. Many thousands of
dollars are being spent this season by
women of fashion for artistic boxes, pa
per, ribbons and tags with which to do
up" their pretty presents.
One of our biggest shops here in Bos-
ton has given over IA whole section to
Just these wrappings. And such attrac-
tive things as are to be had.
Dainty white tissue and heavier glace
paper are the favorites for the wrap
pings themselves. while for tying the
packages there is Il diversity of CON
CeitS.
First there is red Irvine. That is. of
course, the least expensive, costing but
> cents Il ball. Next comes red ribbon
of plain silk weave, red silk ribbon
with "Mcrric Christmas" printed upon il
in white at every little distance. and
then the red and green double ribbon.
The most expensive thing to use is. of
course, the white satin ribbon with holly
leaves and berries printed along its
length. Gold cord. two yards for >
cents, is very effective when a sprig Of
real holly is caught in with the knot.
OF fancy tags there are many varie-
ties, from those costing a cent apiece
to those 1T 30 cents dozen. The little
"stickcrS' we have had Tor several
years. and their usefulness to keep cords
or ribbon from slipping is well known.
This year there is new design repre-
Senting splash of sealing wax (rcd of
course), with holly leaves in the center.
The boxes are fascinating, and any
gift will be doubly dear to the receiver
when presented in one of these. OF cv-
cry desired size and shape, they are
covered with fancy paper. showing either
holly, miStletoc or the poinsetta in fanc
full design. They cost from ) to 80
ccuts apiece.
y special little box comes that is de-
signed TO hold the gold coin that is al
ways welcome gift. These, too, are
white with holly, and are hinged quite
like an expensive jewel box. Inside they
are white velvet lined and show Il little
inderted CirClc in which to place the
coin.
Another conceit is little book of
'suckers, each perforated for detach-
ment. that bears this message, please
do not open until Christmas morning.

Things You Don't Know.

II wonder said Mr.. Glimmcrton
chow many of us could tell with certain
ty. if ut all Just what sort of hat our
best and longest known friend wears.
For instance: Here is Il man whom
| have known well for ten years and
whom | meet often; and | don't know
what brought it up to me, but when the
question did come up the other day |
found that / didn't know whether he
wears derby or a soft hat. | am per
fecty familiar with his form and figure
and | could tell him a block away; but
| cannot tell you at this minute what
sort of hat he wears.
Il fancy it would he found Just the
same as to our recollection of mems
boards. Take Jones, or Robinson, or
any man you know well and see often,
Could you tell, right off, or could you
tell at all. whether he wears Il beard or
not: or if lie does wear one, how he
wears il!
IF some long time friend or acQuaint-
ance should take TO wearing hat OF an
other sort from that in which we had
been long accustomed to see INN or II ne
should trim his beard in different
fashion. why. that we would be sure to
notice right away. But You try to recall
these features in the personal appear
ance of almost any man of long acquain-
lance that you know, try to tell yourself
what sort of hat he wears or how he
wears his beard. and it's aD even thing
that you will find yourself greatly puz-
zled about one or the other, or both.
The same would be true as to our
power of exact recollection of them
about many familiar things. New York

HARVARD PAYS MORE.
Faculty's Salaries at Cambridge Are l7E
Per Cent. Higher Than at Yale.

Some surprise has been felt at the re.
port that the salaries of Yale professors
even with an increase of from $4,000 t.
$1,000 year for thirty-fve members of
the faculty, are still about % per cent.
lower than at Harvard. The comparison
is said by the Boston Transcript to be
inexact, but apparently it is not far
from true.
Harvard professors under the new sal
airy scale which went into effect in 1905
receive Il minimum salary of $1,000 OH
appointment, and the maximum. which
many are receiving, is $1,000. This ap-
plies to the full professors only, of whom
there ar approximately seventy-ive in
the departments under the faculty of
arts and sciences.
For associate professors. of whom
there are only one or two, the minimum
is $1,000 and the maximum $500. For
assistant professors the minimum is
$500 and the maximum is $4,000.
This scale of salaries was made pos
Siblc by the teachers endowment fund of
more than S2OOO.OUO. which was raised
in 1904 and 1903 under the leadership
of Bishop Lawrence. The express pur-
pose of the fund was ito increase the
salaries of teachers in Harvard college.
This was done both by making numer-
Gus promotions which had been long de
layod by lack of funds and by putting
INTO eject the new salary schedule,
which increases the salary for every
grade by $500. 4 number of teachers
thus benefited both by advancement in
grade and by the higher salary of the
grade attained.
No recent figures have been made pub
lie showing the proportion of the mem
bers of the faculty receiving different
salaries within the prescribed schedule.
The last figures published were con
tanned in tables in the Graduates Maya
zine in September of 1904, before the
new schedule went into effect, and when
there were only fifty-three full profess
Sors in the faculty of arts and sciences
instead of about seventy-iive as ut pres
cnt.
The principal figures, emitting two or
three odd amounts, We're rs follows: Re
cciving. $1,000. II: $500, 9; $1,000, 10;
$500. 10: $1,000. >. The average
weighted in proportion to the number
receiving each figure, was $500
Adding to this the general advance of
$50 for each grade, the average now is
approximately S4TOO for scventy-iive full
professors. as compared with $1,000 now
to be paid. according to reports, to thir-
ty-hve of the Yale faculty. This does
not take into consideration any lower
salaries paid 1T Yale.
These figures would indicate Il differ
cncc of about liz per cent. III average;
but the maximum og $1,000 paid to about
u fourth of the Harvard men makes the
COMPARISON in this respect more striking.
