Advice TO Avoid Last Minute Despair
Over "Another Name"
For the last moment gifts one
should always have at hand some
boxes OF candy and perhaps few
very fnc flowers. One, for instance.
might rather have single orchid than
all the carnations in the shops, while
Eardenia is the most admired OF all
blossoms by the average young girl.
Either OF these exotic gifts may be
tied up in a little box and decorated
with a spray Of fern or holly, SO that
it will look attractive.
For the big hearted woman who al
ways at the last moment adds another
name or two to her Christmas list
what could be better than silk stock
ngs? These she mny buy and have
on hand in assorted sizes. and when
name pops into her memory all she
needs to do is to tie up the silken at.
fairs in n pretty box and they are
ready to send on their way. Having
few such auxiliary gifts in the
house saves the busy woman much
disappointment.

House Christmas Dinner.
The first Christmas dinner at the
White House was in 1900. when the
wife of President John Adams, who
prided herself on being a model New

capacity Of chef.
Under her directions old colored
'mammIes," clad in bright calico
frocks. long white aprons and bright
colored kercEiefs on their heads, fit

pared the food for President Adams
and his Yuletide guests.
The mansion was but dimly lighted
compared with the present illumlna-

Instead OF steam radiators. heat was
furnished by great wood fires on the
broad hearths, which roared and
cracked and sent showers OF sparks
up the ample chimneys.

OLD CHRISTMAS SUPERSTITION

Recalling Time When . Peculiar Popu.
lar Prejudice Existed.
A wen known fifteenth century carol
begins:

But the customs Of those times were
rigid regarding the removal OF all dec
orations from churches and dwellings

pie had superstitions about their re-

this popular prejudice in the lines:

That 50 the superstltiOus find
No one least branch there left behind,
For LOOK how many leaves there be
Neglected there Maids. trust TO me-
So many COLLINS you will see-
Perhaps the superstition was a pre-
text OF the particular old housewives
who knew that by Candlemas day the
crisped green things, dried by Yule
