unmindful of the wind and sleet
That whirls and whistles down the
street
The shops and stores are full tonight
OF merry crowds, with faces bright.
Scarce thinking, they, that want and
woe
Within their reach stalk to and
fro
Adown the street. with staggering
style,
Comes (whistling merry tune the
whitley
An urchin, dirty and ragged, too,
But clutching dollar, bright and
new.
A dollar! the saving of many days,
vi pennies earned in various ways;
OF pinching, hunger, and sacrifice,
Till for Christmas fun he has the
price.
He feels as rich as king, and swings
Along, and tight to his dollar clings;
Musing aloud of the things twill
buy,
He wanders on with happy sigh.
A dinner I'll get that'n bust yer
eye;
Turkey, with fixin's, and hot mince
pie;
Then, to finish it all in the proper
way,
I'll go and see a stunning play"
And so he muses., hurrying along,
Scarcely needing the passing throng,
TIL, Just as he pauses a moment to
rest,
A cry, he hears, of real distress.
And turning, he sees, with plying
face
A slender form with touch Of
grace,
Features pinched, and a hungry stare,
Eyes that gaze with wild despair.
Many have heard her sorrowful cry,
But all unheeding have passed her by,
Except this urchin, of coarser clay,
Who pauses to hear what she would
say.
She tells of poverty, want and fear:
OF her life SO lonely and cold and
drear;
And then she adds with a weary
sigh,
I'm hungry and cold and wish l
could die.
He stands and stares at the wintry
sky,
And a tear drop glistens in his eye;
He thinks of his dream of Christmas
cheer,
And he clutches the dollar he priced
so dear.
One look at that pale, sad face, and
while
He stiles sob an tries to smile,
He tears from his pocket his cherish
ed hoard
And gives it to her, like lord.
Here freeze to thai: don't yer see,
I'm flush, and yer needs it moren
me-"
Then turns and leaves her standing
there,
Nor waits to hear her thankful prayer.
Christmas dawn comes bright and
clear,
Bringing to all mankind good cheer;
And it tenderly touches shivering
boy,
Yet within whose heart is secret
joy.
No steaming turkey; no play at night;
But the angels are smiling upon the
sight.
And the King, who once in manger
lay,
viii bless the deed of that Christmas
day.

The Woman Novelist.

Our woman novelists, in proportion
to their numbers, get fewer novel
dramas put on the stage than our man
novelists. Is this because women have
less of the dramatic sense, the power
to paint with a big brush, and perhaps
less sense of humor Book Monthly.

Kitchen of German Marion
Is Chief Room IN House

Have you ever peeped into the kitchen
of some German haUsfdu and been en-
raptured by its Immaculate cleanliness.
not to say the various attractions that
make you want 10 finger there?
The German matron never hides her
own exclusive workshop; she does not
screen or its very door as II she were
ashamed to own such a room. 1t is 10
her the most important IN her home, as
is evidenced by the secured pots and
kettles and by all her little efforts at
identifying. Her closet shelves are COW
cred, not with manila or lace paper nor
with pointed OllciOth, but with home
spun linen resembling Ouy coarse crash.
This is fastened by a few DuttonhOles
slipped over some small china knobs at
the back OF the shelf.
The cover hangs down, lambrequin-
like. over the front edge of the shell
and it is on this fall of linen that the
German pots. pans and kettles are re-
produced in crOSs-stitch in a nice Delft
blue TO match some of the platters and
soup mates that stand in rows on the
shelves. The patterns appear only at
intervals, and the linen is finished by
row OF coarse buttonholing along its
straight edge.
The Danish do these nice household
bits and the goose and gander are popu-
lar designs for outlined work on many

dainty design, which may be developer
very simply, or more deliberately if de-

The little oue-seam sleeves may be
made in either of the two styles, the
leg-G -muttOnsleeve or the sleeve which
is gathered into the narrow band, and
may be made in the full or shorter
length. An inverted plat is taken under

which is necessary in the little ones

in any of the softer materials as lawn
and batiste, and trimmed with lace in
sertion and edging or a little hand en-

used 10 make a plain dress as suggested,
but also to cut out the material after
it Is tucked TO yoke depth. In this way
two entirely different dresses may be
made with the one design. The tucks
may be taken Ia groups or an even dis

TEETHlNG INITIAL
STAGE FOR BABIES

Baby usually begins 10 show signs Of

must remember that there is no hard
and-fast rule as to when a baby should
begin to cut his or her teeth.
Some cut the first, to the great pride

four months; but there is no special ad-
vantage in such early teething.
About the twelfth month the teeth on
each side OF the lower front ones ap-
pear: then couple Of lower double
teeth-that is, the big grinding teeth.
These, naturally, are harder to cut. and
give more trouble than the small single
teeth.
At about eighteen months the dog
teeth e., the pointed teeth standing
one on each side Of the four middle
ones, make their appearance; then come
TWO more upper double teeth
Then about the end of the second
year the rest of the double teeth gradu-
ally appear And when all are cut-be-
tween the second and third year-thers
is a complete set of twenty-four teeth.
The second set begins to appear about
the sixth year. and the second teeth

homer, for twelve Of the set are not
second teeth at all, never having had
any cessOrs-cOntinue appea ring at
