Santa Claus Is
Abreast of Times
(Herald Specially

New York, Dec. 1.-THE high cost
of living, the urgent necessity fol
tariff reform, trust Investigations
labor troubles and even the memor.
able landslide at the last election are
temporarily dismissed from the minds
of the people. Christmas shopping,
with its thousand and one perplexi-
ties, worries, surprises and disappoint-
ments fills the mind of rich and poor
to the exclusion of almost everything
else. The cost of living may be high,
but the people seem to have money
enough left to buy Christmas presents
and not for many years has the holt
day trade been brisker than this year.
All the Christmas shopper needs is
money; opportunity to spend it in any
temptfngly everywhere. Never were
the displays of the shops more beau
'tiful, tempting and distracting than
this year and shoppers find it ex-
tremely difficult to resist the lure of
the many desirable and temptingly
beautiful things displayed in the shop
windows and on the counters 1t is
not an uncommon thing for a shopper
TO start with the intention to purchase
certain things marked down on his or
her shopping list and to come home
with an empty purse without having
purchased any of the articles men
toned on the list, simply because
there were SO many other things
more alluring to the taste of the
buyer.
Those who have been in the habit
of making the rounds of the shops
about Christmas time year after year,
are delighted with this years dis
plays. To them, who had followed
the manifold changes in the character
of holiday goods, corresponding with
the gradual evolution of wealth and
refinement in this country, this years
magnificent display does not come as
surprise. They had watched the
gradual evolution from cheap and
crude toys to maryels of mechanical
perfection, from equally cheap and
crude toys to marvels of mechanical .
perfection, from equally cheap and
gaudy tinsel to useful and ornamental
articles of unquestionable artistic
merit
Less careful and systematic observ-
ers, however, who make the rounds
of the shops at this time will be
greatly surprised at the wonderful
changes in the character of holiday
goods compared with the displays of
five or ten years ago Santa Claus is
nothing if not up-to-date. Modernism
crops and bulges out everywhere-it
is the most striking feature of this
years holiday marekt. Nowhere is
THIS tendency more apparent than in
the toy displays.
Tin soldiers, miniature circuses,
drums, horns and other noise-produc-
ing instruments of torture and the
hundreds of other rather primitive
toys which used TO delight the hearts
of the boys ten or more years ago,
are no longer conspicuous in the

Indeed, it is well worth a second

are now manufactured in this country.
The native made articles are more in
demand than the imported. not be-
cause they are more artistic, but be-
cause they are more practical.
A dinner table at smart house
only short time ago showed the cen
ter of the table arranged with beau
tiful japanese garden. lriSes grew
about the edges of the shallow bronze
basin. and water lilies were floating in
the center of it, About the shallow ba-
sin were other aquatic plants. which
contrasted in irregular arrangement
with the other blooms shown. This
elaborate decoration was possible by
the use of the glass holders made in
this country.
Nothing is more foreign to the Japa-
neSe ideals than the massive flower
pieces built up for balls, weddings and
similar functions. Yet they represent
the triumph of the American and Eu-
ropean idea of beauty as opposed to
the oriental. They have the fault of
ignoring the beauty Of the flower it
self They do nothing to show OFF or
TO serve its beauty. They make it as
much negligible detail of the decora-
ton as brick in the wall of house.
Japanese floral art takes exactly the
opposite point of view. Its purpose is
to show as far as possible all there is
of the flower. There are strict laws
prescribed as TO the manner in which
the decorations shall be arranged. what
colors shall go together and which are
feminine and which are masculine.

The principles of the arrangement
Of flowers in this country az well as in
Europe generally are altogether differ.
ent ffnm the ideals of japan. The art
has never been much studied in this
country. The Japanese have gone far
Their than any other uation in this par
ticuIar study and have united with
merely aesthetic considerations ideas
of religion and ethics that seem out OF
place in western minds.
The professional arrangers Of flow
ers are not likely to be found in this
country outside Of the flower shops.
Their principles of decoration are d.
ametrically opposed TO those Of the
Japanese. The Japanese keep always
in mind the necessity Of showing the
flower as nearly as possible in its nat
ural state. In the occident some arti-
fetal effect is likely to be sought.
Even in the Uccident. however. the
ideals have grown much more artistic

COOK ATTACKS CRITIC
tso-tIl Pole Seeker Asserts That Dane
is Muckraker to Get Publicity. .

New York, Dec. 27.-By innplica-
tion accusing Knud Rasmussen, the
Danish explorer Of STOPPING to the
depths Of a literary muckraker to
get public attention." DR.. Frederick
A. Cook, the Brooklyn explorer, gave
out reply to Rasmussen recent at
tack on Cook, which was published
on November 8, last.
Incidental to his defense of his
own narrative of Arctic exploration,
Dr.. Cook says that by Rasmussen's
methods OF investigation Robert e..
ePary could. With equal ease, be dis
credited, but declares that he will
take Mr. Peary's word in preference
to either that of Rasmussen or the
Eskimcs in the matter of his own
accomplishments"
Rasmussen s attack on Cook was
sent by him to his wife in Copenha-
gen and by her made public. 1t con-
tanned what purported to be state
ments from Cooks two Eskimo COM
panions in his North Polar quest,
Itukusuk and Apilak. Rasmussen
said he did not personally talk with
the Eskimos, but their statements
were taken by two missionaries who
were working in the country from
which DR.. Cook said he started for
the pole.

been advertised in advance and was

at all the river towns. Large crowds
were assembled at Natchez, Vicksburg,

Between Cairo and st. Louis the
