CHRISTMAS BOOKS MAKING @THEI
 

l CHRISTMAS BOOKS MAKING aTHEIR APPEARANCE. Although Christmas seems far away, if We only stop to think for a moment 1t is really stepping on our toes. At least 1t looks that way when we sec the Christmas books in the market in their bright, beautiful colors, gaily gotten up and flashing out their Christmas ,nes- sages.
 It is always a problem, even with sc many books for children at Christmas time, to know just what to select for a gift flor the little Miss or the proud youngster" on reading bent. Two of the most attractive books. which are fresh from the publishers, arc "The Children's Book for Christmas - compiled by J. C. Dier and "The Magic Aeroplane: Fairy Tale" by Mrs. l.. R. $. Henderson.
 The former is from The Macmillan com psny, and the latter from The Reilly Britton' company, Chicago.
 ''The Children's Book for Christmas was suggested to the compiler. who has carried out the idea very prettly. by the letter written to the New York Sun some years ago by a dear little tot who said:
 Dear Editor: I am years old.
 Some Of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.
 Papa. says, If you see it in The Sun it's so.'
 Please tell me the truth: is there a Santa Claus?'
 , In ''The Book of Christmas tales for the Yuletide season have been glsaped from all the standard Christmas stories fer children the world over, and if there ever was a doubt in the heart of any child that Santa Claus doesn't exist, these stories will refute it. Particularly charm ing are the chapters embracing the stories, "As Joseph Was A-Walking,' which is an old English Christmas carol known as "The Cherry Tree Carol,' and "A Christmas Tree in Japan" being an. excerpt from tho Letters From Japan." of Mary Crawford Fraser. Also "The Christ Child and the Pine TreenRis a beautiful story.
 Illustrations in colors and black md white effects reproduce "The Annuncls- tion." of Dante Gabriel Rosettis, and 'sIhe Nativity of Bottieelli's and many other noted masters.
 The other book "The Magic Aeroplane,' is eouelly as interesting, although very different.

 In later years she sees her mistake of muteness, as 1t were. and takes the most drastic methods to effect a reform. Helena Richie and David are so entirely different, for with the latters mothering of the dear little fellow, no sweeter E,c- ture of feminine tenderness has ever been drawn.

 To those who enjoy detective stories told in the breezy. chatty, manner tha, Anna Katherine Green (Mrs. Rohlfs) re lates them in, have in her latest novel Initials only" sparkling story. 1t hoidrs out a series of mysterious bafflings thai puzzle the brainest.
 You will perhaps find more than enough problems to work out-some of the com plications more mechanical than other wise
 The story introduces our old friend, De tective Gryce, and the detectives young protege, Sweetwater.
 There are many wierd circumstances and the part of the story relating .o he amazing death of a young woman in a public room at fashionable New York hotel, is really the best in the whole book.
 The villain shows up in an unusual form and is quite melodramatic enough to hold the attention to the final pages of the story.

 Thera is tense and rapid style that is rather attractive in the telling of the story which begins in Vienna, where the chancellors of several European powers are planning raid on England
 An American newspaper man figures in the story and through streak of diplon1- acy secures their agreement
 He endeavors to quit Vienna and send his story to his paper and is accompanieti by a young English friend of his, who is in the secret service. A2s
 The newspaper man is killed, but the Englishman eudes the plotters and gets away with the document. r

Easter Berothals In Hungary

During the first centuries of the Christian
church, Easter was celebrated on the same
day of the Jewish Passover because Christ
rose from the dead on that day. In the early
days of the church Easter was the favorite
time for performing miracle plays; priests be
came actors, and the churches. theaters for
the time being. One Of the most popular Of
the mystery plays is based upon the cowardice
of PLATE in condemning Jesus.
Three days after the death of Christ" runs
the old legend. ''tbe pious women Of Jerusalem
came In crowd to the palace Of the great
ruler and hurled bitter reproaches at him for
his cowardice. PLATE retired to the innermost
part Of the palace to escape their reproaches.
Still the voices Of the women reached him.
