Stoker, in Personal "reminiscences

She Convinced Her Husband.

A woman, carrying heavy suitcase
and big fat baby, stopped at news
counter to-day for something to read
while getting her baby to sleep. Shs
picked up woman's magazine and
opened it at an article headed: "It
is Vital That Every Woman Should
Retain Perfect Figure" 1t was
well-written article. much of this stuff
is, and she was SO influenced by its
logic that she dumped the baby on
the bench, dropped the suitcase be-
side it, and walked off with head high,
shoulders erect and abdomen drawn

ing man hurried in, picked up the
baby and suitcase and walked out
again. Undoubtedly, somewhere out
side he had met his wife and she had
convinced him.-Atchison Globe.

(red and green) in tall sherbet glasses
is also fine as an aid in carrying out
the Christmas color scheme. Triangu-
lar slices OF bread or rolls of bread
tied with red baby ribbon and placed
on the bread and butter plates gives
an additional little finishing touch.
When the silver is laid and the wa
ter glasses placed. small spray Of
holly for the buttonhole or corsage Is
to be placed for each person at the
table. 1t rests on the napkins.
In order that the candles may last
out the dinner 1t is as well to postpone
lighting them until the dessert is serv-
ed. Other lights may be turned lower
at this time. The effect of glowing
candles is very inspiring to the guests.
Often the Christmas dinner must be
served in the early afternoon. If arti-
fetal lights are desired the hostess
must darken the dining room. But
there are pretty decorations from
which candle light Is omitted. The
center piece for such table may rep
resent any familiar winter or Christ
mas scene. One may buy, at a trifling
cost, a Santa Claus, on chimney top,
about to descend. These are made Of
painted pasteboard and a doll. At
the 'confectioners' there are all sorts
of Christmas pieces In the form of
large candy boxes. Santa Claus and
his reindeers are fine for the center
piece mounted on a small box, con-
cealed by eveTgreens and holly.

How He Did II.

A lawyer once asked man who
had at various times sat on several
juries:
"Who influenced you most-the law
yer, the witnesses or the judge?" He
expected to get some useful and in
teresting information from so expert
enced juryman. This was the mans
reply:
"I'll tell yer sir, 'ow makes up my
mind. 1 am plain man, and rea-
sonin' man, and I amt influenced by
anything the lawyers say; no, nor by
what the judge says. I just looks at
the man in the docks and l says: II
he amt done nothin', why's he there?
And brings 'em all in guilty"-Short
