is taken into consideration by some persons. The young man, probably was sorry for the abrupt termination of his friendship with the young lady, but perhaps 1t was for the best. That his version of 1t, anyhow.
 Most English speaking nations celebrate Christ mastide just as We Americans do. but each has it's little selfmade variation. In Italy they celebrate with grand dance, as a rule, and they take great pains to be attred in gaudy rament. The Danish are very deliberate about their Christmas festiyi- ties and great fetes and gifts are the order of the day. The Swiss are fervent in their worship of the Saviour on that day and the little children dressed for gala affairs parade the streets in or der that their parents may look at them and com pare them with the kids next door"
 Many persons who have read much history and who have been able to persuade themselves that the present century is all wrong as to the date of the birth of Christ, are skepical as to whether We should observe the sacred day when We do. Estimates to when Christ was born extend clear from June to January 26
 Prior to the fourth century Christmas was not observed on December 9, for there was no period of uniformity in observing the day among the early churches The skeptical persons who have studied the thing from end to end say that on December 9 it rained in Judea and then attention is called 10 the Biblical statement that shepherds were watching their foeks when Christ was born Now how could they watch their focks when it was raining? is the argument of the unbelieyers that December 25 is the correct day of feast
 One person who is not skeptical declared that perhaps they didn't have sense enough to come in out of the rain in those days But of course that is no argument The chances are the calendars have been changed much that the original December 20, if hunted down. would be found flirting with May l. Of course the correct day upon which to worship has much to do with the feeling of Christians in the matter, but at the same time, If the event Is properly observed the time of observance is but detail
 Many good churchmen who seldom attend church on Sundays find Christmas an excellent day to attend church because it only falls Sun. day once in seven years and it doesn't break in on their weekly holiday morning nap.

 Salted nuts are now so great favorite that no elaborate dinner would seem complete without them As ordinarily prepared, however, the salting of nuts is quite serious task. but if the cook desires to save time in cooking them she may attain the same result more easily by dropping them into a kettle of deep fat-lard n preference-and letting them remain from 10 to 15 minutes When done they must be drained thoroughly be. fore being salted to taste and they will be found to be just as palatable as the nuts that have been prepared by the far more laborious process.
 If you are in search of novelty iu, stead of salting all the nuts for the Christmas dinner, try the experiment of "brandying' some of them. To do this, soak the nuts for about 36 hours in brandy-French brandy, peach brandy or applejack will do--then cover them with a thin fondant, or merely roll them in powdered sugar The result will be hailed with delight

~ iRlSTMAS without candy A/N,$ would not seem like Christ Ay,IN mas at all, especially in A homes where there are 0 children; so it is at this
 season of the year that the housewife who has little ones who must be supplied with sweets begins 10 make her plans for wholesale candy making, for, cheap as candies are to- day. and easily as they may be ob- ealhed, there are still many women who prefer to supply their households With homemade dainties instead of buying them at the store. even though the latter may be quite as pure and wholesome
 Of course. in candy-making. as in everything else. each year brings forth new formulas; the old candies. once considered so delectable. get out or fashion, and new sweets come to take their place Thus, for example though taffy, fudge, caramels. choco- late creams, etc, are still as palatable as ever, the mother who would be up- to-date in her production of Christmas candles must prepare some of the newer delicacies.
 In place of the time-honored fudge" she may make the new Divinity Fudge sweet that is no more ex- pensive, that takes but little more time, but that is far more delicious. Melt a cupful of sugar in saucepan; when melted, pour it into another saucepan in which there is already a cupful of cold milk Put this pan on the fire and cook slowly until the two have blended then add two more cup fuls of granulated sugar. and one more cupful of cold milk, and reheat, cook ing slowly until it is of proper con sistency to remove from the Stove. At this time add a heaping teaspoonful of butter and a cupful of finely chopped nut meats; beat the mixture with large spoon until almost cold fhen spread 1t over buttered pans, and line for cutting, like fudge.
 For those who like cocoanut candies the following recipe for what is known as "Cocoanut Strips" is productive of an inexpensive and palatable dainty: Cook two pounds of light brown sugar with a cup of water and a tablespoon. ful of butter until the mixture boils. Cut the meat from a fresh cocoanut into shreds, and add it to the syrup, cooking until it threads Whip with the egg beater until it Is creamy; then spread it in buttered pans and mark in strips for cutting
 Another cheap candy. called Nut Creams is made by boiling three cup fuls of granulated sugar with one cup full of rich cream, When of proper consistency remove from the fire, whip briskly with the egg beater and add one cupful of chopped nut meats Spread over buttered tins and cut in squares.
 An excellent imitation of one of the

Christmastide axioms of that kind which used and msused toward the end of the year. That first saying has been cleverly shifted about in this manner: Tt is not the gift. but the price which the giver putteth into the gift"
 The proper Christmas spirit as told from the pulpit is far from that which many follow out in selecting presents. Mother countries exhibit less interest in costly gifts than does America Travel CTS in countries of the old world have been sur. prsed at the great number of Christmas presents which are homemanufactured. Several weeks be. fore the glad event, the families sit themselves down ill their rooms and start secretly, work upon the Christmas gifts In the country districts of cer tain parts of America this custom is still retained

 national distributor of gifts.
 There are many concerns in Ger many, England and France which con- fine themselves exclusively to the manu- facture of gifts such as are exchanged only during the celebration of the birth of Christ. Besides being a holi. day which should be devoted to worship of Jesus Christ. 1t is a day which is looked forward to by merchants as big source of profit
 In other countries, as in America, there are many small Christmas trage- dies enacted because of the dislike which some folks take to gifts and be- cause of the thoughtlessness of others in emitting some of their friends Some make 1t a rule, and advertise 1t we'll that they have decided to confine gifts to the immediate family circle, so that none will take offense if they receive no gifts from their hitherto cherished friends. Of course the ones who are notified of the change in the routine are careful to scratch off the names of the friends who have eliminated them so that when Christmas comes there is no needless embarrassment.

 Christmas of course is observed only in Chris tian countries, but some heathen in fact nearly all of them, have one day or another on which to receive and send presents to their friends and others who are not friends. In countries ruled by absolute monarchies, the rulers are sometimes afraid to open their gift receptaces for the req son that oftentimes reasonable persons inclose fancy little bombs not marked in the invoice Of course such undesirable persons do not have any more Christmases to celebrate affairs being ar ranged in that manner if they are caught
 While the Christmas idea is practically the same in most countries of the globe which ob- serve the day, there is great variety of presents and certain nations desire for gifts made in wide variance to that which the next door neigh bor believes in. Germans as rule give the chil- dren presents most of which are made in this country while Americans are always particular about buying the babies toys marked made in Germany
 A Frenchman told clever little story at Christmas banquet in Paris year ago, which ran along that line He enamoured with beautiful young lady whose home was on Rue de Bouleyarde. She was of artistic taste. SO he stud fed her desire in painting creations for three weeks before Christmas. At last he came 10 the conclusion that probably an oil painting by noted French artist might please her. He took special pains to hunt out store where he might procure He did and put several weeks salary into the gift.
 He had it delivered Christmas morning and re- ceived cordial note of thanks from the young lady who unfortunately had not thought to pur- chase anything for him. This of course was em- barrassing to both parties, but that evening while fonding the creation in his presence she hap pened to sean the back of the portrait. It said: Made in Hoboken, N. J." She in the midst of thanks and embarrassing explanation of why she hadn't sent him a present. when she noticed the brthmark of the oil painting. She stopped, and they haven't spoken to each other since according to the story.
