The Manner of Giving.

So many people think that by giving
n present they have accomplished all
that custom demapds. They pay little
or no heed to the wrapping, and thus
deprive the recipient of a considerable
amount Of extra pleasure.
Make your gift look as dainty n
festive as possible. 1t will not entail
much expense. White tissue paper and
a piece of bright red cord, sealed with
a holly leaf, which comes for the pur-
pose, with mucilage on one side. looks
so much p~rettier than ordinary brown
paper such as the stores supply.
There is mystery written all over
these carefully prepared parcels, and
the lucky recipient delights in pro-
longing the process of opening, while
she wonders what may be inside.

 During the period of his convalescence people came from far and near to see the strange sight. Children especially made a pet of 1t, feeding the animal on cakes, fruit and vegetables; and when it recovered the use of its leg, sug- gestion was made to put 1t into the goat carriage. "A.

 dren's party, and it was not lin-
 til nearly that he was told that they had danced enough, that he should go Into the buffers room to get hinnseIf some supper; that. in short he might go home. But the old fiddler wanted no supper. All he wanted was the sov- ereign he was to receive for his six threadbare, worn, old fiddler, but when he left the great house his feet Seemed to spring beneath him.
 With his fiddle tucked under his arm. he set out for home, chuckling within himself for very joy.
 At the corner there was a toy-slop. It was shut ups of course, but de knocked at the private door, and per- suaded the proprietor to sell him A horse. It was quite wonderful horse made of wood, with red saddle. and mane all complete. Then he went home up the long. creaking staircase-iIu and up, till a shriL voice greeted him.
 Did you meet Santa ClausT' said the little voice.
 "Yes, met him at the corner" said the fiddler. And he told me to give you T thought he'd forgotten" said the little voice, almost choking with giee, ''Christmas Is nearly gone"
 He did nearly forget" said the old man. slyly. But not quite. Santa Claus never quite forgets.'

Chinese Shadows

TT ERE is a simple way of making H shadow pictures. Place a can- dle on the table and fix @ piece of white paper on the wall at the same height from the floor as the light is. Now place some non-trans- parent object. as. for instance. large book, between the caadle and the paper, and on one side of the table place a mirror so that 1t will re- fleet the light of the candle on to the paper on the wall.
 If you now put little cardboard ng- ures between the candle and the mir TOT shadow will be thrown on the white paper, and you can move your fiGures about just As you please.

Nurseries on Ships

THE latest steamships are provid-'
 ing nurseries and playgrounds \ for the children of passengers.
 It used to be that a sea voyage was no fun for the little folks. who were shunted off to separate tables and badly served food. and were 'shooeG' off the main deck.
 But nowadays the children have a royal good time on board ship. One of the new liners provides an imi- tation beach on the upper deck, con sisting of fine sand in which the chill dren may shovel and build castles all day long.
 There Is also a nursery filled with toys and provided with a nurse-maid; whose chief duty is to amuse the children.

Rat Wearing a Ring

HERE is a very interesting picture H of a rat wearing about it's neck \ a ring.
 Of course, it was only about half grown when killed, otherwise the ring would probably have choked It to death.
 This is the story: A couple of years ago a young lady in Tuckerton, New Jersey, lost a ring and was unable to find it anywhere. It seems that the ring must have rolled into a rathole, and a very young rat pushed his head into it and realized what he was doing too late to extricate his head from 1t.
