The First Christmas

- Il often Sas been stated that the
birth OF Christ must have occur
red four years before the date
fixed on for the current chronicle
gy and that It is probable the event be-
fell ut some other time In the year
than few days after the winter SOL
stice. The reason for the confident as
sertiOn is the ascertainIng Of the fact
that Herod died about four years b. q.
The basis of this superstition is the
report that at the time Of the birth or
Christ there were shepherds abiding

the latitude Of Bethlehem near the
shortest day. That Is the height OF
the rainy season In Judea, and the
date does not appear to have been OBJ
served generally before the tifth CEN
tury.
Many students of Biblical history
have argued that the story about the
star Of Bethlehem points to a date for
the Nativity not later than May 8.
B. C. g. On that date the planets
Venus and Jupiter were 80 closely In
conjunction az seen from the earth
that the apparent distance between
them was equal only to the breadth OF
the full moon. These planets were

for 1t iS probable that the mandate

the limit Of two years would leave an
ample margin for any uncertainty as
to the time OF the appearance Of the
star, az related by the magi: also there

From this It would seem TO follow
that Christ was thirty weight years old

many years before and after the
Christian pru the star was changing

some centuries preceding who expect

The uncertainty OF the centuries ia

up. Its existence has been unfairly

SERVICE AT AFTERNOON TEA
One Of the Best of the Ideas
Recently Evolved.

For the woman who loves a cup Of
tea in the afternoon and who also
likes a small cookie or cheese cracker
or some such tid-bit to nibble while
slipping her tea, there is a new sug-
gestion in the way Of serving the wa
fers and cakes.
Often even a sandwich plate will be
too small to hold as many crackers
as are needed when three or four
friends drop in for cup of tea and
gossip, and for this a flower basket,
the style that is fiat with tall handle,
generally used for the garden when
picking flowers. is just the thing, for
it holds a most surprising number OF
cakes, and in this way one can easily
pass a large number of tid-bits at one
time without the least inconvenience,
and for crackers, decorated with jelly
and cheese and such edibles as cannot
be laid on top of each other, this Hat
basket is unsurpassed

Something more than mere desire
for change has brought about the
use of white for those in mourning
1t is the expression of changing at
titude of the mind toward this mat
ter of mourning apparel. White i7
not somber or oppressive to others
and therefore will make the most I'M
obtrusive mourning. For the past
three seasons black hats Of Grape tor
other fabrics trimmed with crape)
have been duplicated in white and it
is probable that the idea has been
well received because the most au-
thoritative shops continue to show
white mourning.
For the summer season wells are
made of net bordered with Grape.
Those for first mourning are large
but cool and light, nevertheless. The
very large, coarse mesh with wide
Grape border, either in black or white,
can be worn without any incon-
venience.' 1t is probable that white
Grape and other mourning fabrics In
white will make rapid progress in
popular favor now that they are well

pink Creme Skirts.

Negligees and petticoats matching
are everywhere to be had in pink
crepe de chine; one perfectly plain
one unlined, with very scant elbow
sleeves, is finished with the border
of white elder down; it is priced at
S795, and could be made more sue
cessfully for about half the amount at
home. Another model is of pink char
meuse, draped with white chiffon and
trimmed with rever effect in shadow
lace, which is caught in with a ros-
cite of the chiffon at one side OF the
skirt, but this gown is spoiled by
Powered white satin girdle. For those
who care to dress a little out of the
ordinary run of apparel there Is a
boudoir gown of greenish yellow near
ly of mustard tone. It's material Is
crepe de chine, and, of course, stock
ings of silk and garters of satin' ana
the petticoat is to be had matching.
Almost all the boudoir slips are OF
clear white lace. A woman may make
herself very charming in the present
styles in her boudoir.

introduced White Grape Is a very
beautiful fabric and the process OF
water proofing to which English
Grape is subjected has made it prac-
teal.
A turban and veil are pictured
here developed in white. The turban
is Of crepe Georgette with veil Of rich
net bordered with white English
Grape. There is no trimming on the
turban but the Grape border on the
veil pinned to the front Of the turban
and turned back provides a beautiful
decoration.
Almost duplicate of this model IS
shown in black. These serve to
demonstrate that it is now simply
matter of choice between black and
white mourning. The introduction of
Grape in the body Of the hat or in
the veil or trimming is significant of
mourning and makes these models
appropriate for first or deep mourn
ing. Grape is the only fabric every
where acknowledged as correct for
this purpose.

NEED OF CARPETS FOR ROADS
English Export Recommends Use o.
an "ElastIo Skin" on tho
Highways.

A lecture was recently delivered by
a member of the board before the
Royal Institute Of London on Thd
Road-Past, Present and Future, 40
cording to Consular and Trade he
ports. The lecturer said the problem
was to find the best mode by which
road should be constructed so that III
surface would not be broken by trat
fic. 80 that the transit might be easier
for both passengers and goods. road
which would form neither puddle
holes nor exude mud from vehlclea
and create no dust when the weather
was dry.
One thing was universally recog
nized. that the road OF the future
should be a truly bound road In which,
whatever kind OF stone was used' tne
stone should be held together 30 tnat
Il would form a crust The lecturer
suggested that what he called car
net or an elastic skin should be adopt
ed as the covering.
The carpet, he thought. should Dc
made OF bituminous material mixed
with sand and placed on the roads In
various thicknesses. according to the
nature of the traff1c. 1t should go on
in liquid form, solidifying quickly but
always remaining resilient and com
pressible, and SO 1ntegrating with the
crust OF the surface below.
The advantage OF such carpet IL
was said, would be to permanently
protect the crust, and, just as carpet
on the floor softens the step, SO would
this carpet for the roads silence the
noise and reduce the shock OF rolling
vehicles. II was admitted that the or
iSinaI cost Of a road so laid would be
more than that of a mud bound road
but spreading the cost over series
of years It would probably not be SC
great, since the crust Of the road II
self would not have to be renewed
