SHALLIPURCHASE FOR
MY GIRL OF TWELVE
YEARS?

Perhaps there Is no more difficult per-
son in the household for whom to select
a gift than the girl OF about twelve
years old. She has ouUgrown dolls ana
such childish delights she cares nothing
for the dainties that would please her
older sister, yet something must be
found for her.
In olden days sashes made excellent
gifts, but now they are not quite so use
ful. Why not replace them by a rib
bon for the hair, with embroidered ends ?
The cost would be comparatively little.
and the work would be almost nothing
1t would take a piece of ribbon about a
yard long and about five inches wide
Cut the ends across and enbroider. in
the self color, scallop and, perhaps. a
small design on the order Of the Dres-
den work
This would be nice gift. and would
delight the heart of the little girl at
that period OF life between little girl
and young womanhoOd.

Wholesale.

WAREHAM. Mass. Dec. 2o-Christ-
mas cranberTies are stnl holding firm
at good figure. Nearly all ship
ments are made, though for a few
days later berries may be rushed 10
the nearer points.
The prices are from So TO sI3 a
barrel This, Of course, is for very
good fruit.
While there are probably some
growers who are holding their berries
for higher figures. even SO a barrel
in January, there are others here.who
do not believe there is profit COM
mensurate with the risk in holding
them as late as that For the jan
uay shipments great care has TO be
daken lest the berries freeze. They
have TO be packed in hay to keep
them warm for their Journey. All
this, it is felt hardly pays for the
trouble.

MOTHER WHO MAKES
HERSELF UNPOPULAR
Allows Children to Annoy
Older People-DoeSn't
Teach Behavior.

She who takes sides IN children's
her brood, but II the human mother
tries it even her youngsters are not
grateful for the interference.
She who thinks her own lambs can do
no wrong while her neighboTs lambs
are sheep of inky dye.
. The mother who trumpets her children
as prodigies. They may be wonders. but
perfection pals when always in evil
dence. Besides, what a store OF trouble
for the children to live up to their
mothers boasting.
She wlo thinks 1t clever for her little
ones 10 be brutally frank, and cannot
distinguish between rudeness and witt
cism.
The mother who is such a poor dlsci-
plinarian that her sole conversation is
Johnny, don't do that-' Mamie, didn't
1 tell you to behave?" 1t pays to make
children obey. both for their own popu-
larity and that Of the mother
She who enjoys herself at the ex-
pense of the neighborhood. Some moth
ers play bridge all day, while their chill
dren run wild; nor are the Mrs. Jelly
bys extinct.
The mother who is sure you are dying
TO hear Arabeue's latest effort on the
plano, or WHY'S newest recitation The
sufferer hates the mother for the forced
fibs as much for her inflicted ear drums.
She who thinks dirt is healthy and
does not bother much what sticky fin
gers touch. Mothers of fingerers gen
orally come under the social ban.
The dOting mother, who not only fat
ters her own offspring, but expects all
her friends TO back her up in admira-
ton
She who thinks manners are inbOrn,
and doesn't trouble to cultivate them in
her children.

KING EDWARD AT BRIDGE
PLAYS THE GAME BUT
INDIFFERENTLY

II will surprise bridge devotees to hear
that King Edward, who is counted an
inveterate follower Of the game, is but
an Indifferent player. Roth he and the
Queen enjoy the diversion, and they like
to have first class, sound players for
partners; but cards with thrm are only
an amusement, never q scientific per-
formance, as the bridge fiend tries to
make IL out. II royalty makes a bad
play, of course there would be no notice
taken of it, but It is consoling to know
should any one else at his majesty's
table do so. ne is not sent to the Tower.

KITCHEN STOOLS.

Only the woman who owns a sizabIe
kitchen stool knows the comfort of it
II she has two or three, so much the
better.
They are not expensive articles, and
therefore, II does not strain the house
keepers purse TO provide her kitchen
with enough Of them to make work
comfortable
There should always be one TO sIir
under the kitchen table. II should pe
high enough to put the worker in :
comfortable position for using her
hands. She will find herself using II
hours during the day that Otherwise
she would have spent on her feet.

care Of herself has a high stool wifi

MAID OF HONOR HAS
HARD PLACE TO FILL
Her Position is Center of
Limelight With the
Bride.
USUALLY TIMOROUS
ABOUT HER DUTIES
Really Has Less to Do Than Best
Man-Bride Her Own
Manager.

The girl who is TO the bride what
the best man is 10 the groom is usually
timorous about her duties. Her posi-
ton is in the center OF the limelight
with the bride and she is worried about
her duties and fears that she will not
perform all OF them. She does not seem
TO be quite sure of what she has to do.
The fact is that the best man has a
great deal more 70 do than the best
girl He has all kinds Of business to
attend TO, as he looks after most Of the
details OF the groom. 1t is his part to
see that everything goes off smoothly.
The maid OF honor may devote her time
to practicing her solitary walk down
the aisle and seeing that her gown and
hat are as perfect as purse and figure
allow.
The bride is the manager on all such
occasions. Even II she never took upon
herself before the executive side Of an
affair she insists upon running her own
wedding.
The groom is usually willing to let
any one do everything for him. Not so
the bride.
Best Girls Duties.
Because she insists upon being con-
suited on every detail is one reason 10
account for her breakdown the day OF
the wedding. She Is always exhausted.
She does not allow her maid OF honor
to do anything concerning the details
or house. procession. church and
clothes. so the duties Of this best girl
are reduced 10 a few trivial acts at the
ceremony
She is supposed TO see that the b-;ta
has ripped the third glove finger of the
left hand for the ring. She holds the
bridal bouquet during its placing and
slips the glove finger back into position
At the end Of the ceremony she re-
moves the face veil from the bride be-
fore the latter turns 10 go down the
steps OF the altar. This veil Is usually a
short piece fastened with pearl-headed
pins and IS easily removed
Receives With Bride.
She also aranges the train Of the bride
when she turns around 10 face the
guests She stoops and straightens II as
the bride descends steps, gives her back
the bouquet of flowers, and take her
own place with the best man 10 follow
the bridal couple.
At the house during the reception |
she stands next to the bride and re-
ceiVes each guest. If she is a stranger
the bride presents the guests to her. II 1
she IS a home girl and there are any
strangers among the bridesmaids she 1
presents the guests to these strangers
At the bridal table he sits next the !
best man, and II It is she who often pro- |
poses a toast to the bride
In other days she usually rode to the |
station with the bride and groom and I
saw them OF. It is now not considered
correct for any one to so with the
couple

HOLIDAY SEASON BRINGS OUT
HAPPY THRONGS OF
PURCHASERS.

Since the beginning OF the Christmas
season the local shops have been more
7r less crowded. but today and for the
past few days il has been almost fmpos-
sible to get within shouting distance OF
the saIesv7omen in the various stores in
the heart OF the shopping district.
The spirit OF Christmas prevails, how
ever. and those who cannot succeed IN
having their wants attended 70 IN one
section OF a store will 30 amiably TO an
other and take a chance there.
Although II is a week before Christ

ALL GIRLS WHO POSE
ARE POOR COMP ANY
Ever Above Books, Plays,
and Art Unless 1t Is of
Highest Order.

There are girls who never give their
looks a thought who are yet appalling
posers-
II physical seIf-cOnscfousness is laugh
able. a mental pose is "weepabIe,'' as
it is such a pitiabie giveaway of the
real woman.
Who has not met the girl who poses
as ultra nicer She puts on a horrlfed
expression at the least breach OF eti-
quette- To call a spade a spade will
throw her into fits OF outraged pro
priety- Too often she is the woman
who win go TO lengths that would De
impossible TO her less squeamish friends
Up to Low Humor
Then there is the literary and dra-
matte poser She would never dream OF
reading a modern novel or giving way
TO joyous laughter at a vaudeville
sketch She is painfully superior u
clever iimericks. and puts on a rudeIy
bored air at any play that IS not Ibsen
or 1aeterlinck.
You who have gone TO school with
her, and know that her intellect is about
up TO Laura Jean Libbey and circus
clown humor. have thoughts none too
complimentary Of her posing powers
What is more trying than the woman
who plays up her artistic appreciation
She talks high art and individuality in
ones belongings until nothing would
tempt you to show her your pet frock
and latest bargain in house decoration.
Perhaps in her heart she haLkers for
rCcocO trimmings and garish c0lorinss
and you know IL. but her silly pose
does her out Of many a private view
and small gift from friends who 20 n

Likes Sauerkraut.
There is even the fool poser
She may adore saucrkraut. sausage,
and serappIe, but the mention of them
causes an immediate elevation OF the
nose. Her conversation bristles with
parfaits, crab meat a Ia Dewey, terra
pin, and sparkling burgundy, and she
would deem herself disgraced should q
fr end drop in on boiled dinner day.
But most wearing OF all Is the religious
poser You can endure the woman who
paradess her looks. her learning. her fine
taste or sensitive palate, but she who
sports hOlier-than-thOu air or daunts
her ultra -piOusness, you could cheerfuIIy
consign 10 the abode she poses as hav-
ing escaped.

In compliance with Judge J. w. Ma
lones' order, the The Third COMPRESSION.
al Committee met at Tallahassee yes.
terday afternoon al the appointed hour,
all members being present, except one
A. H. D'Alembete the Chairman, and il
turned out that all the minutes, returns
and official papers and proceedings of
past meetings were absent with him.
Hon. N. r. Walker, the popular and
honorable secretary, called the meeting
to order, and Hon. John w. Henderson
was made chairman of the committee
by a unanimous vote. The secretary
stated that Chairman D'Alembete had
taken all the papers and documents
away with him, and asked that he be
allowed to make a public statement to
the effect that an effort might be made
to throw responsibility for the disap-
pearance Of the papers and documents
on him. He and several members of the
committee proved conclusively that Sir.
D'Alemberte had taken them all away
with him, as did letters Mr.. Walker
read from D'Alemberte. Mr.. Walker is
a heightened, honorable gentleman, and
the committee, by a unanimous vote
exhonorated him from any connection
whatever with the disappearance of the
documents. Il was decided then to pro-
coed to business, but the Committee
was next confronted with a telegram
which purpOrted to be a partial injunc-
tiOn from Judge Wolfe, that the COM
mittee should not take secondary evil
dence. Here another halt was brought
about until Judge Malone could be COM
municated with, but he Immediately or
dered the Committee to consider such
evidence and to carry out his original
order, which they proceeded to do and
Hon. d. H. Mays was declared the
of the Third Congressional Dis
trict as shown by the original returns
and he lis as has been since the prima-
ry, the regular nominee of the Demo
cratic party for Congress- from the
Third Congressional District, and he
will be almost unanimously elected.
We might put columns of criticisms
and denunciations Of this last high hand /
ed piece of business on the part Of
Chairman D'Alemberte, and those who
have willfully and deliberately attempt !
ed TO run rough-shOd over the rights of
the people of this district, but we do
not believe any good would come of it. |
Some men have placed themselves in
terrible ugly positions, in all of their
actions in connection with the whole
matter, that the smut spots rests on the
Kehoe manipulators, and that there is
some important work yet for Judge
Malone TO do-and all who know him,
believe he will do il, particularly 80 as
pertains to this last grand act in the
Of official papers, and in
Mr.. D'Alemberte's absence and con-
tempt.
Nothing in these criticisms are in
tended against the attorney on the
KehOe side. Judge Reaves is high
toned and honorable man and has made
a splendid record in his management Of /
bis clients interest, so far as this
knows. The attorneys on
the Mays side, so far have won a splend.
ID victory for the people, and Mr.. Mays
will get his full dues when we 60 70
vote again
