II were a shopkeeper or one Of the

the hurrying stream of Christmas hu-
manity. shopping when shopping should
be practically over, hope l would re-
tain my faith in the inherent good Will
that Is supposed to prevail in exceeding
measure in these happy, busting days,

But. you know, life takes on very differ
ent hues, according to the point Of view,
and IL one happens to be looking out a
| window one never knows how it may
seem to those who are looking in.
We read all sorts of pleas for early
shopping and early shipping. and scarce
ly a newspaper or magazine in the land
fails to carry along the familiar message
Of the Consumers League. And We read
so much and are warned so often that
we look at headlines and hurry on 10
something keener in interest and more
vital in appeal.
But suppose We were behind the coun-
ter and read all those earnest calls for
the sake of the girls. the men and the
boys. what would be our verdict? We
would know just what the hurry meant.
the rush and excitement OF many to be
served and all the nervous wear and
tear: and when We ran across the many
pleas for consideration for the great mass
OF workers involved, we certainly would
stop and think.
Looking On.
The doors opened and the crowds rushed
in yesterday: they are hurrying in to-
day and they will continue to hurry to-
morrow. And II We were back Of the
counters we surely would say to our
selves-What is wrong with the heart
of the crowds? For the crowds read and
they must understand. And We would
figure It all out on the basis of indiffer-

shopping district. wOmen-yes, they were

quite weary in serving. II was neither

of them called the whole thing a burden,
few wished there was no such thing as
Christmas giving, and all pledged them

Her Christmas Guests.
At the home board OF another little
family whose provider is by no means
wealthy, there sits each Christmas four
guests who would spend the day in
cherries surroundings were it not for
the invitation they receive from the
woman who makes the home for this
unselfish family. They are never the
same folk two years in succession but
there are always four. once heard an
outsider tell the hostess that she didn't
see how she could do II for surely the
presence of strangers in her household
on Christmas Day destroyed the privacy
of her own family. and lessened their
happiness.
The hostess made her no answer but
the smile which lighted her eyes told
some wonderful things which l never
have forgotten.
When there are so many things to be
done for those Of our immediate family
circle; so many plans for the happiness
of those whom We love, 1t seems to
many women unreasonable to expect
them to remember the ones who will
miss the love OF relatives they have not
the ones to whom Christmas is a
mockery-but 1t isn't too much to expect
because il takes so very little time, and
often as little money, to do just one

Luxurious Coin Holders.

So small that they are suitable only
for coins-Or perhaps a tightly rolled wad
OF banknOtes-are the new handbags of
white and crystal beads finished with
knotted bead fringe and suspended by a
white silk cord. Equally elegant and
costly looking are the small mesh bags
Of sterling silver mounted upon hand
engraved frames and those Of gun-metal
attached TO a pierced frame. Also for
coins is a ball-shaped affair of white
ivory, framed in gold and suspended by
a fine gold chain and of the same order
is one OF solid gold. set with tiny dia-
monds. The latter type Of cOin-holders
are not easily mislaid since their hangers
are attached to a ring which slips over
the gloved finger.

ODDS AND ENDS.

The pastry board is best cleaned with
salt. Don't use soap on ii. stiff
brush and plenty of coarse salt will clean
1T perfectly. Then hang it up and let
1t dry.
Use a soft cloth to dust with. II will
be found doubly useful If dipped in
coal oil and allowed TO dry out Of doors.
The odor will eyapOrate. but the cloth
will still be slightly oily ad will absorb
the dust much better than a plain dust
cloth.
A favorite japanncd tray which has
become scratched and SCARED may be
made fresh and new by giving it one or
two coats of white enamel paint.
Calling cards now Tor J. men and
women are of Caxton type in best form,
though the script is still used and prob
ably always will be. Shaded old English

favor. The correct size of a ladys card
is just a tri1e over the square.

another to DR.. X. l.. Hoyt Of 0riole,

unable to turn them out fast enough TO
supply their agencies.
Eight country school districts around
Lewes Cross Roads were consolidated at
a special election Saturday. and, under
the direction Of County Superintendent
Hardesty. OF Georgetown. modern

classes and the first consolidated school
in Sussex county in the country districts

plenty of time at their disposal, and
with no objective point in view. they
followed the uncharted road in an easy.
leisurely way, enjoying to the utmost
the fine scenery, and the exhilirating

postal cards and messages received from
them, their families have been able to
follow their itinerary through Accomac

Charles. Norfolk and Ocan View. At
the latter place the trail was lost, but
we hardly think they will go as far South
as Palm Beach.
