The Real Santa Claus

While human nature Is fairly
bulging with the Christmas spir.
II and our strenuous lives are
rested by refreshing dash OF
childhood and we watch with
lingering hope the disappear
ance of Santa Claus who has an
nually ministered to our fancy
since the holy babe lay in the
manger. let us now turn our at
tention toward the real Santa
Claus.
The real Santa Claus is the
man who makes payroll. Up
on industry must rest all the
happiness of the human race
and from it society must get its
inspirations and joys. Without
the hum of industry and the
jostle of the harvest there would
be empty stockings and cheer.

Tho New Bridal BOUQUET.

The old fashioned round bouquet of
flowers is in vogue again and is replae-
ing the shower bouquet at weddings
and dances.
1t is not quite the closely packed
prim affair of years ago, for the flowers
are more carelessly and loosely ar
ranged and the bouquets are larger
Moreover, they are not fiat, but rise
with a pyramidal suggestion which is
graceful. They are very much easier
to carry than the shower bouquet;
hence their return to popularity. In
stead of the laced paper in which the
Victorian bouquet was inclosed, there
Is usually a frame Of asparagus or
maidenhair fern.
For the debutante the florists ar
range lilies of the valley or white roses
with the green framing, the whole be-
ing tied with white satin ribbon. For
the young married woman pink carna-
lions or sweet peas are fashionable,
and only the dowager carries the ex-
pensive orchids arranged in pyramid
form and fastened with mauve or pur-
pie satin ribbon.
