 Its chief object is mothers prv.cy' for her rest and her daily preyers. 1t should also be used as triounAl. since a little talk with mother n hsr own room will be considered Quiss solemn thing. And on Sunday after moons, if the stories and heart to heart talks fin honor of the day De held here. their fragrance will pc doubly sweet.
 Let this room be 70 much . part of mothers self that anyone who sees it might guess to whom 1t belongs. If possible. its windows should command pretty view. then keep up the blinds and let the view in. A frame containing a photograph of each child, and many other dainty and fit- ting accessories will suggest them selves.
 It would never do to tumble, the bed for mothers daytime rest. % let there be a cot, crude and inexpensive. perhaps. but hidden by pretty ruffie and graced by the pillows which will be your daughters delight to furnish as Christmas and birthday surpriscs- And the sons, especially if taught manual training at school. can pres- ent mother with little furnishings of which any might be proud.

LITTLE GIFTS.

The small remembrance Is frequent- fly more aceeptables at the Joyous Christmas season than the elaborate or the costly gift, We are all likely to be confronted with e feeling of hesi- tancy that cuts us off in our first im- pulse toward the generous gift. There will always come up these questions in reference to certain gifts and cer- tain persons, and 1t is well when the question arises to reckon with 1t. It's frequent outcome and solution will be the small and inexpensive remem- brance to convey Christmas feeling of good will to the friend or the ac- ouaintance whom we desire not to for get, but neither to oppress.
 '.some yards of Dresden ribbon and all the little gifts 1t will make" has been the yearly answer of one re- sourceful woman.
 After a trip to the shops where ev- cry available idea is collected. she turns and twists. sews and shirs. presses asd pastes pieces of the ribbon into a most attractive assortment of small inexpensive gifts. each one rep- resenting a pleasant effort and a gen. erouS spirit.
 First, there is the ribbon cover for trunk and bag tags. which will make of them an attractive booklet. This should go to the persistent traveller. The two lids of the little book are made of two. of the cardboard tags.

Glass baskets. with and without handles. are also made with wire mesh that may be fitted in the top. Every mother seeks to find sone- thing a bit novel in plant life to add to the beauty of the home upon the occasion of her daughters marriage. The quest for something new has been rewarded this Season by a beautiful and decorative fern known az the golden" in common parlance. and as Nephrolepis Scholotzil among the initiated. Its light golden-green color compact, bushy mass of foliage and medium height make 1t useful in many forms of decorations and 1t is particularly fashionable at weddings. The foliage of the golden fern is much like that of the sword fern.

HERE'S A WOMAN WHO
 GAN TALK MANY WAYS

The fact that a Massachusetts woman can talk in fifty-four differ ent Languages has excited the imagi- nation of the humorously inclined.
 From time immemoral woman's tongue has been target for the Jests and jeers of the humor artists. tongue of the sterner sex never scolds! Nor gossips! Nor lies! There is no "man with the serpent tongue? Of course not!
 But a woman's tongue! My. good- ness gracious!
 The tongue that first whispered "Baby dear" that luiled you to sleep when heartrending troubles of tiny baby would seem to overwhelm you The tongue that prayed to your God and her God for you. long before you could lisp a prayer. and oftener after wards than you have yourself. The tongue that defended you when you were accused. and interceded for you when you were convicted
 This is the tongue for jests and jeersl
 The tongue of the dearest girl in the world" the tongue that mothered your babies; that gave you most com panionship. more encouragelnen.' greatest solace before you left the home lin the morning and after your return in the evening.
 Much of our humor Is cruelty-pure undisguised cruelty-worthy of less civilized people. Much of our wit IS burning blistering acid.
 The woman's tongue jokes Is neither wit nor humor. It Is simply the tn- sane vaporings of the fool who knows neither mother nor wife, sister nor daughter.

 And there Mrs. Chapman stopped.
 Yes, she was quite certain that she q be content to be the widow Of w. n. Chapman all the rest of her days, ana absolutely positive that she wasn't en- gagged to any one, American or foreign CT. As for proposals---ah, that was quite a difrerent matter! In fact. in the drawer of her escritoire were some letters, all proposing mar riage, and all from people she nau never seen. One was from youns man in Pittsburg who solemnly assured Mrs Chapman that poor men mace tae best husbands, and that If he couio have her picture he would be sure to fall in love with 1t for herself alone. He warned her against rich men wno would marry her for her money' An other was from an elderly man ih Philadelphia who advised just the con trary, ana felt himself fully able 70 conserve her best interests. And there were all kinds of others.

SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR
 THE SCHOOL GIRL

Dignity Is the first attribute of q lady, and 1t is dignity or manner more than w anything else which separates one of high degree from her number. less blessed sister. Dignity however, while to certain extent resultant of careful breeding and eui- ture, is often conspicuousiy lacking in the modern girl. who in spite of all her training, her education, the en- noblinr influence with which she is surrounded from the very cradle. is all foo frequently noisy in her speech, un- graceful in her carriage. eager to at- tract attention at public -gatherihs'
 That she should strive for dignity Is perhaps a new idea to the school giri of today She is apt to associate the word in her mind with grandmothers caps and knitting needles, as having 10 do with white hairs and old age. That inc word could bear any rela- lion to youth and gayety seems ridic- ulous. She hopes she will be able to be dIRnified some day. of course. but not for a long time yet, and the day is not to be bothered with-at present.
 what. then, Is dignityf Only natural quiet and repose that comes by right when there Is no longer any desire for fun or spirit left S5r energyf Far. far from iti old age without dignity and repose of manner is in- deed sad, but no less unattractive Is vouth that knows not the fitting time ana place for poise and quiet deport- ment.
 There are many. many channels through which the young girl of the present generation would do well 10 practice more of dignity and poise.i There is no wrong. assuredly, in two or three friends walking arm in arm on the fashionable thoroughfare of a city, yet by this simple action, those girls are at once rendered conspicuous, and nothing which attracts attention from the outsider is quite good form. Upon the very pitch of the voice. too. can A lady be always detected. In a street car or any other public convey ance. for example, the voice should be carefully lowered. so that by the per son addressed only can the conversa- tion be heard. It Is unnecessary and in poor taste to take Into ones confi- dence the other occupants of the car. ''Repose of manner" or "poise" Ia aT1- other essential mark of good breed ing. Gesticulations. grimaces. too rapid movements-these all detract from an appearance of dignity and should be avoided and carefully guarded against by the youngest girl. lest some such little mannerism should grow into a fixed habit which. excus- able in a school girl. is far from at- tractive in an older woman.
 Many girls suffer acutely from shy ness and self-eonsciousness. and while in some cases this takes the form Of making the girl extraordinarily quiet in the presence Of older persons, in other cases, the self-conscious girl will go to the other extreme and in her effort to appear at ease will talk more than ordinarily. often too loud ly. and in her rapid motions and quick gestures will render herself doubly conspicuous and far less attractive than she naturally should be. This girl of all others should strive to cultivate dignity even if in her gentle speech, her quiet manner. her reoens-

rMHroIDERY REPLACING
 THE INK MARKED INITIAL

women who love daintiness snoulu retoice that the day of the indelloie- ink bottle Is past; not that we deny its usefulness. but rather that growing sense of luxury has lea us to releEate 1t to proper uses. and '" lend our energies to more pleasing lettering for our various belongings-
 We know that it consumes most or and more than our spare moments, this constant embroidertng of initia, or monogram; but there Is a thrali about it. and the average housewife will find time to initial either ner household or her personal linen. while the truly enviable one makes time for both.
 A simple cartouche effect embroid- cred about a single letter makes variation from the usual which Is very attractive This is equally true Tn the case of either lingerie or napery, although Q slightly different style might be selected for such widely dif- farent uses Designs of fitting dain> tiness for lingeries may seem of in. sufficient dignity when seen upon more substantial napery. but this. of course. is largely Q matter of indi- yidual taste.

CONCERNING THE TEETH

Dentists say that cold weather af- fects the teeth.
 The enamel is sensitive. expanding and contracting as does glass.
 Therefore it is unwise to go at once into cold air after drinking something hot
 The worst thing that can ordinarily happen to teeth is to crack the ename.
 This is the reason that one should never crack nuts, or bite thread or hard candy. It is not that the teeth will break, but that coming together with a snap. they will crack this pro tective enamel
 Once this enamel is injured. the de- struction of the tooth is certain. un- less immediate repairs are made.
 For the same reason sharp tooth picks or other pointed instruments should not be- used for removing food particles. Use dental floss. or. IT there is none at hand. waxed SIX thread.

 There is, secondly, the book of per fectly pointed Engiish pins covered with case of ribbon 70 folded at the ends as to nt the pin book. which is fastened in with narrow ribbons as the leaves of | book are bound in with cord. Little rosettes of baby ribbon hold the folded ends In place.
 For breastpins the long strip of wide Dresden ribbon may be worked Into case. it's selvedges being turned over delicate blue or white eiderdown, Into which the pins are to be fastened. A pocket made by turuing up the ribbon at one end and buttoning 1t fast will contain safely certain larger brooches or jewels used less frequently.
 The metal talcum powder box of . fiAttened shape is covered with . strip of wide ribbon doubled down one side, round the bottom and up the other side, this ribbon Is cut longer than the box and shirred Into . case with frili extending up each eide. This also is finished with tiny. deiicately colored ribbons tied into bows at each side of 
 When the tiniest of silk ribbon bags Is first taken In hand It's use Is hardly to be imagined, but the looking glass at the bottom (outside) says Vanity The stiffened round bottom of this Ht- tic vanity bag Is glued against the back of tiny mirror; inside Is min iature powder-fllled disk of chamois- two disks sewed together with powder between. The bag draws up with tiny ribbons.
 A desk file Is made more than pre- sentable by having its round. heavy lead or metal standard covered with Dresden ribbon. A round piece is slipped over the flo, smoothed down and drawn into place around the weight portion. The under side is faced with. plain backing of silk or linen glued on. A gold galloon band edges the round disk. and few gold threads wrapped round the lower part of the ile and finished firmly give the final toucn.
 Cotton garter elastic sewed into reg uiar sizes will admit of vefy attractive covering of puffed silk. Strangely enough. quite wide piece of ribbon will be none too generous to pun over inch wide elastic. if heading be left on either side.
 For baby, even the wee one. coat hanger is always available, and the piainest of metal may be padded with cotton and finished with shirred rib bon. its hook being wound with nar- row ribbons and two tiny scent bags hung from either end to give the faint orris scent to the little coat.
 The oblong fan bag, just for the preservation of the fan beautiful in the bureau drawer when not in use, is one of the very easiest little presents tc construct, and. again. the tiny hand kerchief folder. This last is made of simple folded piece of ribbon fash toned like a wallet or card case to hold a few handkerchiefs on one side and bit of neckwear on the other just for the ona-night stay.

TAT HOMES" MAY BE HELD WOMEN
 IN MOURNING

A note received recently from cor respondent interested me. because the writer wanted to know If. being In mourning. she might continue to have her informal days at home" this win ter answered most positively in the affirmative.

 Calls of coincidence being in order, and observed. as rule. by those who really care for one, there is no dimcul- ty in letting acauaintances know that one will be "at home" at a certain time every week or two. Such after moons should be infof nal and friendly visits need not be limited to reception days alone.
 On these occasions tea should be served and painful topics of converse ton avoided. Every friend who goes should have in mind the wish 10 cheer and divert. not to work upon. or sad- den the house of mourning.

APPROPRIATE PRESENTS

When the time for buying Christmas gifts arrives the natural inclination of almost any one Ia to feel rather over whelmed at the prospect of the crowds and the dificulty of finding just what oneN wants The wise and fortunate girl who has thought 1t all out before- hand and made large number of her gifts will be far more. cheerful than the foolish virgin" who has left ev- erything till near the end, but even the wise one will probably have some last things to buy. and 1t behooveg her to devote some consideration to the tastes of the people for whom she is buying them.
 Don't. because you like to read your. self. get a book for your brother whose main interest in life is sport Do not choose a handsome inkstand for a friend who has no desk of her own but does her writing at the family writ ing table in the library.
 The greatest help in making a suc- cess of choosing gifts is to have list of the people for whom you want to buy gifts and what you want to give each one, taking some pains to find out what they are not already supplied with. You will thus save yourself from many mistakes. But as the chances are two to one that you can not get just what you want be sure to have several aiternativesS for each gift or. that lisfds Bysfaf tfe3 best waytis to begin the list Hong before Christ mas. and whenever an ideAs suddenly strikes one of something that will be just suited for q cartain friend write 1t down; then when the shopping time comes good full list will be ready for use and the giver will be pretty sure to have just the right thing" for everybody.
 It also makes the work of getting ready for Christmas easier to wrap up and mark each gift when 1t is bought Cor rushed If one has. been making it herself), and have one drawer or clos ct shelf specially for them. Then all the work is done gradually and there is no rush and scramble at the last moment.
