Jimmie, who is a very small boy

questions.
Seated opposite Jimmie and his
mother on the car homebound was an
individual who, judging by the bios

Of joy water. None Of Jimmies neigh
bors possessed an appendage that
could compare with the one across the
aisle
In silence Jimmie took in the stu
alton and the blossom" His thoughts
must have grown so curious that they
could not be withheld any longer and
he finally blurted out in loud voice:
Mamma, is that Santa CLAUSE"
pointing to the man with the red nose
Embarrassed, Jimmie's mother tried
to silence her son, but 1t was no use.
In an audible whisper the connection
between the man and Santa Claus was
disclosed much to the discontinue of
the man.

story about Santa Claus that Santa

King Edwards good nature was IL
lustrated the other night by a London
correspondent at the Press club In
New York.
The king" said the correspondent,
was visiting Rufford Abbey, and one
morning, in company with his host,
Lord Arthur Savile. he took a walk
over the preserves.
Suddenly Lord Arthur. a big bufi;
mai. rushed forward and seized a
shabby fellow with >s~daaa pheasant
protruding from the breast of his coat.
Sir said Lord Arthur to the king,
this fellow Is bad egg. This Is the
second time I've caught him poaching.'
But the kings handsome face
beamed. and he laughed his gay and
tolerant laugh.
"'Oh. let him CO. he said. II he
really were bad egg. you know. he
wouldn't poach.'"

"My Shepherd"

This little word will make a paradise
Of earth, and fill with glory the home
where you live and the place where
you work; in a word. 1t will lift you
up to where the Heaven lies.
The water-spider forms a sac-like
cottage and fills 1t with air; then
shuts herself in and sinks into the
sea. She then anchors it and there
brings forth her young She practi-
cally lives in an upper world, al

of the great deep. This is your priv
ilege, for this day and every day to
live in the very atmosphere of Heav-
en-, while working down here in the
sin-tainted atmosphere OF this world.

lost the eject OF satin costumes.

as wide as the upper band. The coat also had cloth

Serge IS still the material most in use and promises
TO be so for all tailored costumes for everyday wear

serge however, has quite gone out Of date, and IN its
place Is what is known as real English serge. which is
quite different in weave and texture. They are more
like the old herringbone serge. but Instead of being hard

soft and pliable as silk The threads are small and
they are closely woven. but for all that they are de-

over a lining. but there is a small amount Of fuuness
