Christmas Decorations.

Let the house be bright and cheer
full at Christmas. with plenty of holly
and mistletoe distributed throughout.
If there is a chandelier in the dining
room have it hung with evergreens
and holly, and from that carry long
ropes of greens to each corner of the
room, thus forming a canopy for the
table. Fasten wreaths at all the win
dows. Red and green is most appro-
pirate for the Christmas table. In the
center place bowl filled with red
carnations surrounded with holly, and
four single candles in silver or glass
sticks with scarlet shades to further
carry out the bright and cheering
color scheme. At each place have a
miniature Christmas tree to which
place cards are tied with narrow, red
ribbon If preferred the centerpiece
may also be tree of larger size.

the day is seldom seen. AS the yule
log vanished with the advent of the
stove so the simple ways which
amused the youngsters of yesterday
have disappeared and in their stead
comes to-day an endless line of me-
chanical devices The dolls of to-day
open and Gle sc their eyes and even
speak; the toy steam train runs by
real steam power; the miniature cleo
trio car is driven by real electricity;
the toy animals and insects move
about like real life. Now Christmas
trees are purchased at the grocery
store and are Illuminated at night
with tiny electric lights instead of
candles. Instead of popcorn balls and
cornucopias of candy the tree is dec
Grated with gilt and tinsel ropes and
stars. More automobile horns are
heard now on Christmas day than
sleigh bells Steam heat and cleo
trio radiators take the place of open
fires and plenty of money makes the
day even more enjoyable than ever
before.

ship to ship and the electric cable
flashes the good will of governments

The new electric ovens sizzle with
the roasting turkey and the electric
stove is rushed to prepare the many
appetizing viands for which the day
of feast calls. Electric door-bells are

thousand different varieties, are en-
joying a days rest after the hustling
days of the holiday trade.
Useful Christmas Presents.
Year by year it grows more the Gus

as useful as possible. While expense
is not considered SO material as it
used to be it is important that the
gifts should be useful as we'll as or.

Here again electricity finds a useful
field. The development of the electric
heating and cooking devices has add
ed host of valuable and useful things
which are always acceptable Christ

among the most conspicuous of use

It was two O'Clock when lie Bre-
tagne spread her white sails and crept
out toward the eastern sky. 1t was
six when the gray wall of the sea rose
and blotted out the ship as though she
had gone to the bottom.
Then the dark figure which had
been outlined against the crimson of
the big. red setting sun turned YEARLY
and crept over the sands towards
Arichat-it YVES Marie, returning to
her newly widowed home.
Leon said he would come at the
time of Christmas, SO why should l
fear?" she kept muttering, land Leon
will keep his word in life or death.
Even II I'm dead. Marie he said,
joking me, will come to thee at
Christmas.
On the farther side of L'Isle Madam
the sea was moaning as Marie reached
her cottage.
One month had gone-one month OF
the loveliest weather-ideal weather
for the fishing, the old wives said. only
they used a stronger word than
Ideal to express their satisfaction.
It was just 81 days since the, gray
wall Of water had risen between Ma
rie and her Leon. There was no mis-
taking the day, for she had just drawn
line through the date, the nineteenth
OF October. Not for a moment had
Marie slumbered that night. The sea
had gone to rest with sigh. a sigh of
utter WEAKNESS, as though the wind
had called It to battle to the death /;
only the sea heard the challenge, the
sea and Marie-she knew.
The calm that rested over every
thing was awful; 1t was as though all
life had gone out of the world. And
