AS there Is no light to shine through 1t,
an almost transparent fabric may be
used, such as madras or the thlnnest

How the Photograph Was Born.

Mr.. Edison, it is said, was expert

suddenly felt pricking of his finger.
A needle was lying in such position
that at every vibration caused by the

adjustments he arranged the needle so
that its vibrations would be recorded
on paper. He discovered that each
note and quality Of tone recorded diff

this accident was born the phonograph,

Mix together thoroughly and lightly.
Beat the yolk of an egg mix with
one-half cupful of thick sweet cream

and quickly as possible. Use either
sage or parsley. The secret Of good
dressing is that 1t must be handled
with quick, light, delicate fingers, be
soft and crumbly and get moist. When
ready to use put into the fowl very
carefully. If it is crowded In hard

The First Christmas Tree.

Once, centuries and centuries ago.
Santa Claus was walking In the woods
near his palace. All at once he came
upon sort of clearing, and In the cen
ter Of 1t stood tall pine tree. 1t was
as straight as the mast Of ship, as
symmetrical as top, and its color
was darker than the deep green Of the
ocean.
"What wonderful treer said Santa
Claus to himself II don't think have
ever seen anything more beautiful.

Of trees. You are shaped perfectly.

you rise tall and sharp toward the sky
"A symbol Of all aspiration. l must

And that night Santa Claus had a
skein Of silver thread spun from the
moon, and he draped 1t In long lines
from the tip Of the tree. My, how 1t
sparkledi How bright 1t wasl And
he borrowed fakes of fire from the
stars-red, yellow, blue and green
and he fashioned them into pretty
shapes, and these he hung on the tree.
Lastly, he gathered great basketful
Of golden dust from the Milky Way
and poured it over the tree until it all
seemed to be aaame. Never YVES seen
so splendid sight!
And that, boys and girls, was the
first Christmas tree. And there was
no one to see 1t but Santa Claus.

A Christmas Game.

Talking about Christmas stockings,
good game to play at your Christmas
party is the following: A sheet on
which is painted full size fireplace Is
hung on one side of the room. Every
child having been provided with a
tiny stocking with pin at the top,
each In turn is blindfolded and told to
go to the fireplace and pin his stocking
where Santa would be most likely to
see it. If he succeeds in placing 1t
anywhere near the fireplace tiny toy
is slipped into his stocking before the
cover Is removed from his eyes. If he
Is far from the mark his stocking is
left empty. Whether you play the
game or not. we hope Santa will fill
your stocking on Christmas.

MORE PAPER BAG COOKERY.

Tomatoes Baked In Small Paper
Baes.-Wash the tomatoes, lay them
in creased paper bags. 1t is nice to
allow a bag for each tomato and
serve them In the bag. Bake in a
moderate oven for twenty minutes.
They should be tender, without being
broken. The flavor of tomatoes baked
this way Is so much better that 1t is
worth trying.
Stuffed Onions-Parboil q sufficient
number of medium-sized onions for the
meal, put them into cold water, drain
and, when cold, remove the centers.
FIJI the onions with a savory stufing
or chopped ham, or nuts or bits of sau-
sage; anything that will make stuff
flng of sufficient flavor Place In
buttered bag with little water and
butter, and bake for three-quarters of
an hour. Remove from the bag to
hot vegetable dish, sprinkle with salt
and pepper and serve with the sauce
from the bag poured around them.
Baked Potatoes.--Psrboil for ten
minutes sufficient amount of pota-
toes for the family, then place In q
buttered paper bag with 4 few table
spoonfuls of butter. Bake for half an
hour, then tear open the bag, sprinkle
with parsley and serve from the bag.
placed on \ platter Salt should be
added to the potatoes before putting
them in the bag. The flavor Of pota-
toes baked in this manner is really
surprising to those who have never
eaten them.
A fish steak may be stuffed and laid
In q paper bag and baked. making
most elegant dish.
Liver, previously Darboiled and
cooked in a paper bag, would never be
recognized as the same dish which we
so often serve on our tables. Lay the
bacon in the bag, and on these pieces
OF calf's liver, which have been well
scalded in boiling water, season and
fold the bag; lay on the rack In a hot
oven and bake for twenty minutes or
until the bag Is golden brown. Slide
the bag off on hot platter and carry
to the table before opening.
Pigeons, SQUADS and small game are
delicious baked In paper bags. Stuff

What Rules the World.

Many years ago John Broughan.
Lester Wallack, Artemus Ward and
others used to meet after the play at
Windhursts, in Park row, in New
York. One night the question, What
rules the worldY' arose, and various
opinions were expressed. William Ross
Wallace, who was present, retired be-
fore long and some time later called
Thomas j. Leigh from the room and
handed to him poem which he had
Just written. Mr.. Leigh read it aloud
to the company, and Mr. Brougham
made happy little speech of acknowl-
edgment. The thing was entitled
"What Rules the World" and the first
stanZa ran:
They say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea,
He wields mighty scepter
Ger lesser powers that be,
But mighticr power and stronger
Man from his throne has hurled.
And the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.

FASCINATING SLEEVES
or THE MOMENT
They Should Closely Conform to
the Style 0! the Costume

Many fascinating designs are shown
OF course, for the sleeves to conform
strictly to the rest of the costume In
style, and a style that is most attrac-
tive in itself may not be at all suitable
for costume which Is being designed
There are sleeves which can be substi-
tuted for those which are part of de-
sign with the effect Of improving 1t
and adding also to the attractiveness of
the wearer.
There Is most attractive sleeve
which Is appropriate for simple style
of gown with which Robesplerre col
lar is worn. This sleeve comes just be-
low the elbow. 1t is draped slightly
widens out little toward the elbow
and Is finished with a turned back cuff,
shallow and little faring, which re-
lates it beautifully to the Robespierre
collar. so that 1t is therefore quite as
suitable for such a gown as the long,
tight sleeve which has been worn with
1t for some time.
Another interesting sleeve which has
a yoke shoulder has the material laid
in double box plait on the outer side
Of the arm, the plated part of the
sleeve being set under the extended
yoke Below the elbow the fullness of
the sleeve Is taken in to long, tight
cuff, which is buttoned down on the
outside. but the beauty of the sleeve
depends to large extent on the adroit-
ness with which the cloth is manipu
lated when it is thus narrowed in to
the cuff. In the original model the ma
terial is draped most gracefully at this
point, so that there is no clumsiness.
A rather deep plated frill of mousse
line Is used as a finish to this sleeve,
being turned back from the hand.

Christmas Morning.

1t was Christmas morning.
The clock had just struck four
When two tiny bare feet
Stepped out on the floor.
They tiptoed quite softly
Without making a sound,
And two chubby hands
Grabbed the stockings so round
Then a sweet little voice
Laughed softly in glee,
For old Kriss had filled
That stocking as full as could b&
There were nuts and candies,
Sugar plums and toys
And funny made animals
That squeaked a queer noise.
Next wee jumping Jacks
On bright yellow sticks,
And the last gift of all
Was a box full of tricks,
Then the dear little voice
Whispered quite low:
"Oh, thank you, dear Krissy,
For treating me so!
"I'Il creep back In bed
And go quite fast asleep,
And beside me till morning
My presents I'll keep.
Good night, dear Kriss Kringls"
A sleepy voice said,
Then, tired and happy
Crept back into bed.
