LITTLE DAUGHTERS OF THE RICH AND
THE LUXURY OF THEIR SANTA CLAUS
by Cynthia Grey.

What would the girl of today
do on Christmas morning If she
were greeted with the gifts that
made her mother happy.
In nothing has there been
such a tendency toward luxury
and extravaganza in the last few
years as in children's toys.
Especially is this true of the
dolls and the trinkets for their
wardrobes. This year it is per-
fectly easy to spend $500 for a
doll dressed in period style" or
in the modern dress of fashion,
able woman. Real laces and real
Jewels are a part of the ward
robe of these dolls.
In a window on Fifth avenue,
New York, there is doll gowned
for a ball with a real lace frock
necklace of seed pearls and an
ermine evening coat. OF course
this doll is destined for the home
of some millionaire baby, but the
child of very ordinary circum-
stances is wishing, too, for dol

only come off" but there must

WHAT HAVE YOU TO
GIVE?

Dear Miss Grey: 1 would
like to give some reasons
why 1 am a bachelor; but
find i have more reasons
than 1 possibly can crowd in
to twenty-five words.
If 1 should start out to
select mother for my chill
dren, l would look for a
genuine woman. A woman
who is satisfied with her own
hair and eyes; has her own
teeth and figure, and has
backbone strong enough
without being reinforced
with whalebone and steel,
and a complexion that will
not wash off.
In my travels from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and
from the Gulf to Canada, I
have never met one like this,
although L have heard that
they exist.
Until / find one who meas
ures up to this standard I
will not complain of lead
ing bachelors life and will
be happy as conditions allow.

TWO SISTERS; ONE RIGHT,

Dear Miss Grey: We are
two sisters. 1 am the young

My sister says go anyway
to the parties, and after you

CULTIVATE THRIFT.

Nowadays, when there are so
many ways for children to spend
money foolishly, 1t is wise to en-
courage thrift. Try getting them
to save up their pennies until
they have enough to buy a hen,
sell the eggs and put the money
in the bank. Or, If they wish, an
other hen may be purchased
with their savings. This is meant
for the child who lives in place
where the backyard is big enough
to keep a few chickens.

WASH-DAY HINT.

Many housewives will be glad

Dear Miss Grey: Are we

around from place to place,
better known to society as
a tramp, necessary to the
welfare of this country?
And could the products of
this country be put on your

men who are physically, morally
and mentally wholesome, and
fitted to become fathers of our
children. We want our children
to be well born.

We are old maids because we
refuse to be mere chattels, own
ed by any man for convenience.
Life was made for something
more (even for a woman) than
darning socks, washing dishes,
and cooking a big meal three
times a day. FARSIGHTED.
l am a bachelor girl because
I do not want to be kissed by
lips that are soaked and satur-
ated with tobacco juice, nicotine
and whisky. Nearly all the men
smoke like furnacest It's puff!

Man Is the only animal who

GERMANY Is EXTENDING
SYSTEM OF WATERWAYS

1t is not only her navy Germany is
expanding. She is working out am
bilious schemes of internal develop
ment, and for years has steadily been
pursuing policy which will end in
vast network of canals over the
length and breadth of her empire.
The construction of these canals has
become an absolute necessity as the
government has found itself unable
to build sufficient railroads and sup
ply sufficient rolling stock to cope
with the ever-increasing railroad traf-
fic.
The building of vast network of
canals and the canalization of the eX-
isting rivers is the only alternative
to meet the demands of the public,
as private steamship companies will
then be able to use the canals and
take part of the increasing traffic off
the hands of the government rail-
roads.
Encouraged by the economic sue
cess of both the Dortmund Ems and
Kiel canals, and the assured success
of the Rhine Herne- -Dortmund- Emden
canals, the government proposes to
continue building canals and water
ways wherever feasible.
It is proposed to build n transcou-
tinental canal due east beyond Dort-
murd. All the rivers running from
south TO north into the Baltic and

The tightness of one and the abb
