THE NEwsBOYs' PIE.

Tramp Tramp Tramp! Two
hundred and fifty pairs of little feet,
keeping step, are marching to dinner
in the New York newsboys' lodging
house. Five hundred pairs more are
restlessly awaiting their turn upstairs.
In prison, hospital and aims house
the great city is host and gives of her
plenty. Here an unknown friend has
spread generous repast for the waits
who all the rest of the days shift for
themselves as best they can-turkey,
coffee and pie, with vegetables to fill
in. AS the file of eagle eyed young
sters passes down the long tables there
are swift movements of grimy hands,
and shirt waists bulge, ragged coats
sag at the pockets. Hardly is the file
seated when the plant rises II amt

Seven despoiled ones hold up their
hands.
The superintendent laughs-it is

lively on the bulging shirt. "What
have you here, my lad?"
"Me pie" responds he, with an in

DA1Nr1NEss IN CLOTHING GIFTS.

In the giving of Christmas gifts
there is so much difference in the ap-
pearance of the outside daintiness and
the ordinary wrapper, says the editor
of Madame, that I would suggest to
my readers that whenever possible
clothe your gifts in fancy covering.
Dainty colored tissue paper tied with
baby ribbon in contrasting and har-
monizing colors, with spray of holly
tucked in the bow, will speak of the
sender's interest. Again large en-
velopes of fowered Grape paper or
Japanese napkins tied with tinsel cord
and a spray of mistletoe is a novel de-
vice for sending gifts. You should
do this to the home gifts as we'll as to
those which 60 to outside friends. II
would also be nice to inclose Christ
mas card or send with the gift some
appropriate and personal quotation.
1t expresses special greeting.
