Choosing Partners.

To choose partners for a card party OF
cotillion have small cakes baked IN
what are called patty" cake tins and
ice with pink for the unmarried girls
with yellow for the men in the same
state of single blessedness. white for the
married women and green for the married
men. In these cakes put such tiny fa-
vors as thimbIes, duplicate notices, hooks
and eyes. keys, rings &c. Then the man
who gets a key finds the person having
a ring and they are mated, the girl with
a hook finds the man with an eye, &c.
This is great fun and Is adaptable to any
game where a choice of partners is neces-
sary.
Another pretty way to find ones mate
is to provide a Japanese cap and mask
of paper for each one. Divide the COM
pany until all are disguised, giving each
a sheet or covering of some kind; then
as two persons recognize each OCher
they remove the masks.

INEXPENSIVE IDEAS
FOR NECKWBAR
Novelties Which Are Very
Attractive, but Not Costly.

| Three neckwear novelties which may
easily be made and at slight expense
are a stock, a band collar, and Ascot tie
which closes in front. The stock. which
may be made, of chiffon or net, trim
med with inset motifs of Irish or Venice
| is very high all around and boned from
the shoulders in six places so that u
will flare evenly along the top. The
edge, which has Il roll of about q half
inch, is finished with a double ruching
of gauze bands and makes a becoming
and exceedingly fluffy looking break be-
| tween the face and the throat. This
stock must be carefully curved outward
at it's base as otherwise it will not en-
| tirely fill in the space left uncovered by
| the roundabout neck of any blouse
which is worn beneath tailored coats,
and such garments never look smart II
! their mannishly tailored collars come di-
rectly in contact with the wearer's
| throat.
| A straight four-inch wide band Of fine
! linen is used for a turned-over standing
collar which has a narrow hemstitched
edge and fine floral pattern, done in
either a strong or a delicate color. To
go with this collar is a filler-in for the
low-roIlinG jacket front in the shape Of
either Il jabot or side frill of the hem
stitched cOIor-embrOidered linen. Lack
ing the time, the patience or the skill
to do the embroidery, the collar and
| jabot or wide frill may be made of fine
linen and an Irish linen color-embroid-
cred and hemstitched-bordered hand
kerchief using one side for the turned
| over portion of the throat band and
three sides as a bordering for the ac-
| cessory.
The front fastening Ascot tie made OF
heavy linen or wide vale pique has a
shaped neckband which buttons by
means of an underset tape loop, but
toned to a stud at the back of the shirt
waist band. and two long ends, one Of
which passes through a slit ut the end
of the collar band, is then drawn back
ward and run through a slit at the top
of the other end. This scheme does
away with all bulk at the throat where
| the two ends of the collar portion are
Joined with two ornamental bar pins.

The Xmas Child in Many Climes
By HELEN BRUCE WALLACE.

children to march in to see their tree,
singing as they go. 20, Tanner Baum"
%, Fir Tree), to the air of Maryland,
My Maryland
In many German towns, just as the
bells ring 10 usher in Christmas, every
window in every house is quickly lighted.
Then the children are up bright and
early. even the tiny babies, to go to 6
o'clock church. Often each child bears
a candle to illumine the church.
The German Kriss Kringle has one hor-
rid habit that our jolly old St. Nick would
scorn. He generally leaves with his
stockings a bunch of switches in case
they should be needed before his next
call.
The French children rarely have a
tree. Sometimes they hang up slippers
to be filled, instead of stockings, and
there is great chanting of Noel, Noel"
the Christmas song.
Like the Scandinavian children, little
French boys and girls never forget the
birds, but instead of placing sheaves of
grain on long poles, they are hung along
the caves of the houses.
The children of Belgium on Christmas
Eve are dressed in gay colors and form
a procession. which marches through the
streets, led by an orchestra and singing
carols. Each child holds alOft either
Christ child in a manger or crucihX.
American mothers find one day of
Christmas merrymaking distracting
enough for their children, how would
they like to live in Russia, where work
is often suspended for fortnight, while
all the people keep holiday.
Even the poorest peasant has tree
and it is harvest time for beggars, for
no one will refuse him anything.
In some of the country districts the
bows dress as animals and led by other
boys as keepers, march through the
streets headed by a band of boys MAX
ing dreadful music with harsh sounding
instruments.
These professions go from door to
door, pound until they are admitted and
all given food and drink, and two small
pieces of money.
Another ng-drawn-Out Christmas is
in Scandinavian countries, where week
is given merrymaking. Every one
goes to o'clock church on the dark
Christmas morning, and in the evening
every home in the land is Illuminated.
They have wonderful trees, around Whlch
grown people and children dance and
sing. The Scandinavian child is very
good to the poor on Christmas and takes
gifts and food to poor families.

ACQUIRE TACT IF YOU
WISH TO BE POPULAR
BY DOROTHY DIX.

There is no excuse for any one, who
is not congenitive idiot, or afflicted with
paresis not being tactful, for in its last
analysis tact is nothing but taking
thought of what will be pleasing to
the party of the second part
What apology, for instance, can the
bull in the conversational china shop Offer
even to himself, for asking a woman
whose son is a bank defaulter and in a
Fenitentiary, where her boy is? He will
say that he didn't think, but 1t was his
business to think. People who are inca
pable of coherent thought should be
locked up in padded cells, and not be
permitted to ravage society.
The Clumsy Person.
This is scarcely an extreme illustra-
ton. All of US know people who have
a fatal facility for putting their clumsy
fingers right on the sore spots in our
hearts. If there is anything unpleasant
or disgraceful in your family life you
can count upon their making it the sub
JeCt of their conversation. If there is q
secret sorrow so terrible to look upon
that you only open your closet in the
darkness of the night to gaze upon it.
they areS1ead sure to ruthlessly drag 1t
out in the first crowd in which you hap
It's no use in telling yourself that these
people are not malicious, and that they
did not not deliberately stab you in the
most vital point on purpose. It's no use
in trying to convince yourself that they
are really well-meaning, kind-hearted,
dull blunderers, who, as the lrishman
says, never open their mouths without
putting their feet into them.
1t cannot possibly make any difference
to a corpse whether it was shot by acci-
dent or design. Nor does 1t make any
difference to our wounded and lacerated
feelings whether they have been ground
to a pulp by fool or villain.
Use Common Sense.
Unless a man or woman has enough
intelligence to know what to talk about
he or she has no right to intrude in
civilized society and infiict himself ON
herself upon innocent and defenseless
people. Common gossip keeps all of us
reasonably well informed about the pri-
vate affairs of our neighbors, and II we

A New Matchmaking Game.

A hostess entertaining in honor of a
visiting guest passed cards bearing the
last name of her friend The company
was told to make as many words from
the letters composing the name as they
could in twenty minutes. A prize was
awarded for the longest and shortest
lists. This proved a very pleasant in
PRODUCTION and served as an ice-breaker,
as the people were almost all entire
strangers This scheme Is a good one for
church socials. which are apt to be stiff
if not conducted along the same lines

This doll is fine for very little people,
as they cannot break it or bruise them
selves against it. The pattern provides
not only for the doll itself but also for
a cap, drawers, petticoat, and dress.
The doll can be made of strong muslin
or of canton flannel or jean, the dress of
any bright bit of material which happens
to be on hand, and the cap to match it.
The pattern. 27H, is cut in sizes for
dolls IA, IS, or % inches in length from
crown to sole. To make it requires of So
inch material, 3-S yard for the doll 3-4
yard for the dress, 3-S yard for the cap,
and 3-S yard for the drawers and petit
coat.
The above pattern can be obtained by
sending 10 cents to the office of this paper.

THE GRAND MONDAY.

In Northern Forests
The New Faith"
Thanks for your appreciation of our
program last Light. We knew that
You would be pleased, but are always
glad 10 have ar expression from you.
In Northern Forests. To say that
this is Vitagraph production, is nuf
sed, but We want to give you brief
synopsis of what this fine northwes-
tern picture is. Phil like many an
unfortunate. has redeeming qualities;
one in particular, his love for chill
dren. This is very easily seen where
the poor fellow in a railroad coach is
being taken handcuffed to prison. In
the seat next to him there is a little
child with her parents. She tries to
play with the prisoner, When she
hands him cake his frown changes
to smile and Phirs whole nature
seems to be transformed into gentle
ness and love. Phil finally escapes
from prison and a posse is sent out
for him. Dotty, the little girl. hap
pens to get lost in the same forest
where the prisoner is hiding. To see
how he cares for her and gets his
reward for so doing is certainly worth
seeing. To see this accomplished
girl actress with the Vitagraph peo-
pie is worth the admission alone, do
you not think so?
The New Faith. This is a picture
that will especially appeal to our de
won't church-going community. as it
teaches us a great deal about what
the people of olden times had to con-
tend with in establishing the New
Faith"-Christian Religion. This reel
is fully one thousand feet long and
the scenic effects are very beautiful.
Sorry that We cannot give you the
synopsis of this interesting story. but
1t is rather long and our space is
getting short, but then what's the use
as We know you will take our word
for 1t that 1t is something good and
see 1t for yourself Monday night.
