Christmas Decorations

It some times happens that people pre- ter artificial holly and, mistletoe to the real article and indeed 1t has its ad- vantages in many ways.
 The shops are showing some very good limitations and when twined with green 1t is almost a perfect substitute for the real thing.
 The artificial holly, for instance, is much lighter, much cheaper and vastly more durable. For decorations on a large scale such as in ball rooms 1t is highly recommended
 The loveliest Christmas decorations come in the pretty papers made into balls, bells and various designs. They are folded flat and need only to be opened and spread out to be used.
 For the Christmas tree, strings of bells on scarlet cord are dainty and very ef- fective.
 For a motto over the door or on the tree is handsomely illuminated chain of letters spelling Merry Christmas' and below hangs lovely garland of, flow CTS.
 A "snow machine" is one of the pret- tiest novelties and throws stage snow So effectively that 1t seems almost real The shops are full of the very pret- tiest and newest decorations in artificial affairs and there is no excuse for want of originality and unique Christmas ef- fects

Proper Way To Care For
 Hands

Women who want nice hands often make the mistake of treating the wrong way.
 For instance, whereas they should never touch the cuticle. they frequently trim 1t off with the scissors.
 Long nails are now the rule.
 By this Is meant not that they be al- lowed to grow long, but that each moon be encouraged to show.
 Few persons know how to push back the flesh in order to show these same moons.
 Even manicures are likely to press too stoutly on the nail and make 8 white mark.
 The task lies in pushing back the skin without lressing upon the soft part of the nail.
 A little practice will give one this light, effective touch.
 The nails should no longer be permitted to assume the mandarin points once so fashionable.
 Extreme shortness is now preferred to the talons of other days.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Montgomery Story.

To the Editor of The e-Herald.
 A friend of mine In Atlanta, Ga, sent me a clipping out from the Bir- mingham Age-Herald of December 4, 1908, headed Secret Service Story Pure Fake. Recently Published Item Is Not Founded on Facts.'
 The charges in your Montgomery dis patch, as I understand them, are based on two statements First, that no such event at that which Is described took place at Montgomery, Ala, in 1873; the second, that no such person as Weston ever served as postmaster of the city.
 Replying to the first statement I would say that the article, as 1t was originally written, made mention of Montgomery, Ala, in one instance and Montgomery, La, in the remainder of the instances. The proofreader of the New York Herald, however, believing that Montgomery, Ala, was meant in all instances. took the liberty of chang ing the article to that effect; whereas I meant it to be understood that the events of which I spoke, took place in Montgomery, La., little town few miles above Colfax.
 With regard to your statement that no such man as Weston ever served as postmaster at Montgomery, Ala, that is true inasmuch as 1t was not Mont
  ing Montg La,, all the while. It is also true that no man named Wes- ton, so far as I know, ever served as postmaster at Montgomery, La. l pur- posely used a name that was somewhat similar to the postmaster's name, but not his name. That was done out of consideration for himself, If he is still alive, or for his family If any of them are still alive. In a postscript to this letter I shall give you the real name of the man who served as postmaster at Montgomery, La, at that time and to whom I referred as Weston. That name, however, is not for publication, although I ask you to give the re- mainder of this letter as much publicity as you gave to the article in which you branded my story as a fake. and which on the face of 1t you had a right to as sume 1t was, inasmach as the name Montgomery, Ala, appeared where Montgomery, La., was meant. You can refer to the records, however, and find that the man. whose name I shall give you in a postscript, did serve as post master at Montgomery La, at the time I designated and the records of the

Pads For the Winter Bride

The smart brides of the season are discarding the time-honored white satin slippers and are wearing instead the the directoire costume has brought in its wake.
 These tiny apologies for foot covering are adorned with a coquettish bit of tulle and a tiny spray of orange blos- som.
 Because they are immensely becoming to the foot and the newest caprice of My Lady Modish these mules are destined to be immensely popular and the win ter bride does not confine herself to the white satin ones alone but has them in a variety of colors to match the different frocks in her rousseau.
 Fashion decrees that the prayer book is the proper accompaniment to the al- tar for this winters pride. It is no or dinary one either as 1t must be an ex- traordinary specimen of the craftsman's 8 art, exquisitely made.
 In the back of the book blank pages are inserted for data regarding the mar riage-the name of the church in which 1t occurs, the date, the signature of the officiating priest and the witnesses.
 Such a prayer book Is not only beau tiful work of art, but priceless treasure to the bride who hands it down to fu- ture generations-and heirloom to be used by other members of her family.
 There is another fad for this winter s bride which Is a bit unusual, and that Is having the marriage certificate pre- served in artistic form. Hand made, in vellum the certificate is most beautiful: the printing and decorating being done in Illuminating work which Is glorious in color and lends itself to a variety of decorative schemes.

A Useful Novelty

Among the 'conveniences for the traveller or the dweller in one room is an alcohol iron. Hitherto these have been too large to carry easily; now they are found so small that they can easily be slowed in a small bagl
 They come in 6 nickel case about three or four inches long, and contain heater and stand, as well as iron. The handle is straw covered, so that holder is not necessary.
 While Monday7 wash could not be turned out with these diminutive irons, they are convenient for keeping ties, col lars, frills and handkerchefs in good con dition without resorting to a laundry
 The alcohol can be carried in a small flask with an unleakable cork.

The Unattractive New Turban

From the Parisian ateliers we have re- ceived word that the newest things in hats are the turbans. They are said to resemble the wonderful creations that Eddie Foy and Frank Daniels wore in their queer costumes in various plays.
 The first thing naturally that suggests itself when turban is mentioned is of a small, jaunty hat, but in this case ones supposition is incorrect.
 The new turbans are the reproductions of the Russian cossack cap and they are not pretty on account of their bigness and they are not easy to wear on ac- count of their weight.
 In fact their only charm is their nov city.
 Some of the new turbans are covered in swansdown dyed any desired shade and they are trimmed with quills, ai- grettes, stiff wings or beads and tails of fur. The effect is decidedly barbario and unpretty.

Gas In Mines.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I may be mistaken in my theory, but 1t is my firm belief that the most sensible way to prevent explosions in mines Is to burn up the tnfiammable gases as fast as they form. To do this the formation of smoke would have to be avoided, and noxious fumes would be eliminated by the use of alcohol lamps in every part of a mine at all times. These lamps need not be large ones, and the miner should be furnished with just enough alcohol to keep the lamp burning all the time, and the alcohol should be mixed with some chemical that would prevent his using 1t for drink. c.

Washing Brushes

It is best not to put ones heavy backed silver. brush into common use for the hair. At least not in cities where the soot-laden atmosphere leaves coat ing of itself on the hair each day.
 This Is caught by the bristles of the brush, which makes 1t necessary to wash it at least twice a week if not oftener.
 This constant washing ruins a brush that has an expensive back Therefore, a brush should be used that has an or dinary wooden handle and back with good stiff bristles to withstand the softening action of water and borax.

About Coral Brooches

The girl who has an old-fashioned coral brooch is fortunate. These are in the height of fashion this winter, and they go singularly well with the Old World jabot of lace, and what is now known as the portrait stocks of black satin wrapped around the neck. If the brooch Is in the form of a rose, much the better. Those with pendants are espe- cially lovely. Girls who wear the DOT trait stocks of satin and the large loose jabots of lace are also adding their baby necklaces of cut coral.

Home Hints

E Celery should lie at least half an houf in cold water or upon ice before serving in order to be firm and crisp
 Stuffed olives chopped fine, mixed with cream cheese and made into balls are delicious if served with a plain salad.
