ABOUT GIFTS.

Among the first to begin the gift
giving for the holidays are the clubs
and sororities that celebrate the sea-
son at their meeting nearest to Christ
mas. BY common consent, these club
organizations exchange gifts in SEN
sible way. Each member brings to
that meeting a single gift. 1t Is made
up into a Christmas package and is
usually placed in a receptacle large
enough to hold considerable number.
Sometimes the members march about
the table on which the gifts stand and
at a signal all stop and help them
selves to the nearest package.
Sometimes the gifts are numbered
as they are brought and afterwards
slips bearing numbers are distributed,
the members taking the package with
the duplicate number. These and 9th
er ways are employed and each mem
Der goes home with gift and yet
no one has been burdened by giving
many gifts. The gifts are often &C
companied with original verses and
the packages are opened and the vers-
es are read at the Christmas meeting
or party. Each one, Of course, is the
best effort of the writer and they fur
nish much entertainment when read
before the company.-Indianap

IS LOST ART.

DiagnOsticans assert that lOve-mak-
ing is now lost art; that the ubiqui-
tous Dan has lost his cunning in focus
ing the shafts from his seductive
culver; that the preparatory seed OF
connubial bliss has been pulverlZed
under the milestone of cOmmercialism,
and that the effusive explosions of the
cupidic bomb have been hushed into
the stiffness of Soudan Zephyr.
No more does the plumed knight en-
ter the fitting ring with the colors OF
his "Layde Faire" pinioned upon his
lance; no more does the gaily bedeck-
ed Troubalour sing his plaintive dit
ty under the easement Of the castle
keep; no more does the love-slck
swain pen sweet sOnnetS in blood
drawn from his brawny arm. Love
making today is a commercial propo-
sition. void Of any sentimental, ro-
mantle or spectacular establishment.
Even the stage lover has changed.
The fletcher, the Wallack, the Cogh-
Ian have gone, and no successor in
evidence. David Belasco's captivating
star, Blanche Bates, an actress of in
finite discretion and discernment, who
has historically made love under
every known national environment,
and who in her new play, "Nobody's
Widow" gives a delightful explosion
Of lovc-making, acknowledges with her
characteristic sincerity that the stage
is destitute of proficient stage lovers,
and that the natural impulses that &C
tuated the stage lover of the past are
not allowed to become essential now,
with the result that the modern play
er acts by role and not by innate per-
ception.

present uncertain.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE HUI

United States army suffered at the
National Horse show at Madison
Square garden, little more than a
year ago, when they saw every rib

by officers from foreign countries.
gree. AS result of that singing
defeat nearly every prize offered in
similar classes this year was won by
an American officer, astride an Amer
lean mount.
This was brought about by the en-
ergy of few private individuals and
the cooperation of officers of the
, United States army and officials OF
the war department. The American

stallion, Henry Of Navarro, and Oc-

show.
The army officers who judged at
the show and We're forced to send
the animals ridden by their fellow
officers down to defeat before the
braided and giled officers from be-
yond the sea, because Of their mani

movement to improvement the Amer
lean cavalry horse. In this they had
the hearty cooperation of the secre-
tary of war.
Not long afterward group of
men headed by Judge William H.
Moore of New York raised subscrip-
tion fund to purchase mounts to be
sent to the International Horse show
held in London last June. A large
sum of money was raised and large
sum paid for the best hunters, jump
ers and chargers which New York
state, Virginia and Kentucky could
furnish. Among these animals were
the famous Knight of Elway, CHS
of horses of lesser fame.
AS soon as these horses were de-
livered to the government they were
turned over to the keeping Of we'll
recognized stock breeders in Vir-
ginia, who bred them to the best
mares in the state. This was done
under the joint supervision of the
department of agriculture and the
war department.
About a month before the Olympia
show in London the first annual Ma
tional Capital Horse show was held
in Washington. The government an
finals were entered in the charger
and jumping classes at the National
Capital show and did we'll. In a
number of classes they were defeat
ed by the horses of private owners,

but on the whole their showing was
creditable.
The earliest evidence of the revivi-
1lCu interest III the cavalry horse was
manifest when the first annual Mill
tary Horse show was held at Fort
Myer, Va, in March, 1911. This
show was organized chiefly by the
officers at Fort Myer, but President
Taft and Secretary of War Dickinson
evidenced a keen interest in it, It
was attended by all the army officers
in Washington, besides practically
the entire diplomatic corps and mem
beers of congress interested in the
cavalry horse improvement. Tho
class Of animals was poor, but the
great amount of interest was con-
sidered encouraging.
When the time for the National
Capital Horse show came around the
universal interest in the development
of the army horse had reached such
point that the executive commit

spring will reach the highest price in
