LAURA JEAN LIBBY'S DAILY
 TALKS ON HEART TOPICS

she has need to look forward to Christ mas with fear and trembling. The amount she earns is pitifully small, yet that does not excuse her from be- ing called upon by her comrades to contribute to the purse which is being raised to give the junior member of the firm an expensive silver vase for his desk. Then there Is the floor walker, who would be offended if he wasn't remembered, and the head lady in charge of her counter and a dozen more connected with the establish ment, whom she never knew the ex- istence of. If she tells them that she cannot afford it she receives scant courtesy from those about her. More than one girl has given up the last cent in her purse, fearing if she de- rnurred that she would soon find her place occupied by another. Those to whom she had given her little mite would not have known her on the street. They never troubled them selves to find cut what kind of Christmas she was going to have, nor would they have grieved had they known that she had wended her way home to a poor old bed-ridden father, a. dreless grate and only plain bread and water in consequence, TOT her Christmas meal. A group Of noble Wo- men heard of many such pitiful cases Immediately they bent their energies to form an organization inviting such suffering girls to become members To every girl who joined their reform they sent a badge bearing those mystical. eloquent letters: s. P. U. G. If the girls who belonged to their band were asked to contribute to Christmas gift making for strangers, or to the many who had no need of their remen- branceces they could show their badge and answer frankly: tI must refuse to contribute. I belong to the society which forbids useless giving. Belonging to it has not only prevent ed me from heartaches, but it has en- abled me to give Christmas cheer, from the heart instead of the purse to dear loved ones at home who stand in need of it.'' The load the working girl has to carry is heavy enough for her shoulders At Yuletide season, the working girls heart should be made light and happy instead of downcase. Those who are well to do should not accept gifts from persons who cannot afford them. It would be better for them to give. A gift
 without affection attached to it has no value. Let every girl who works fol- low the advice of the s. P. U. G. la- dies.

BEAUTY CHATS
CBy Blanche Beacon.)
YOUR EARS.

YOUR EARS.
 It positively makes me shudder to see a mother put a baby into it's crib without first feeling of it's tender little ears to see if they are smoothly press ed out.
 Many mothers are so careless in this respect They let the baby lie in any position and then wonder why the child's ears are so ugly
 Outstanding ears are the deformities most easily produced by this habit of neglect. The crumpIed lobe of an ear is another result of careless hand ling If the baby is always put to sleep in the same position, on the same side, that ear is likely to grow differently from the one that has no pressure on it. Almost any defor- nity can be corrected in a very little baby by judicious care and thoughtful manipulation.
 A soft. thin ribbon tied over the ears will often be sufficient to alter outstanding ears. It is unwise to tie a ribbon around a child's head, pass ing it in back of the ears. for, of course, it forces them forwards The same holds true of putting a hat on with the elastic behind the ears A SCft ribbon under the chin is far bet ter
 If the ears are especially outStand- ing, have little ribbon rosettes made OF a well protected wire frame Af- fix these to the head by a bandeau of ribbon, and you have something that is ornamental as well as useful
 If your ears are so ugly as to ap- pear defor1ned, go to some surgeon whose reputation as a surgeon is be- yond suspicion Ask him what can be done. As rule, he will be able to help you, and if he can, it is worth it
 Even in later life, ears can be spoil ed by letting them remain doubled un- der, or spread out unnaturaIly, while sleeping Also, in later life, patience and care in holding thee close to the head will sometimes result in inn provement-
 Do not get into the habit of pulling at the lobe of your ear. And hard ly need to advise you not to allow your ears to be pierced for earrings The custom is barbarous, especially since the earrings are made with clever little screws nowadays.

THE sPUG LADIES OF NEW YORK

 For justice aVenges each slight
 From one end of the country to the other comes the query. ''Who are the Spug ladies of New York? Are they a mysterious band wno steal silently as ghosts through the great city by night, their purpose being to save young girls? Is their intent to limit their pleasure. hold out a mercifu1 staying hand to draw them back from threatening dangers?' All these ques- tions and more are asked me in let ters from the curious daughters of Eve most of w1Om dwell in peaceful little hamlets far removed from the turmoil of the metropolis. The name by which this band of women is known does sound rather oninous. But they are neither nymphs of the night or womne Of mystery. Their intentS are humane and praisewor- thy. Their object is to lessen the bur den of the Christmas time. $. F. U. G. means the Society for the Proven ton of Useless Giving.
 Few women have not known to their bitter cost the anguish of n1ak- ing up long list If Christmas pres ents for loved ones and friends and being obliged to cut out half the gifts because they had not the money to purchase them all The exchange of Christmas gifts dates far back. Broth CTS gave to sisters and father to mother In an -un1ucky hour the stranger who happened to be within their gates was remembered That set the custom of making presents to friends, near and far. It matters lit tie if the hand that gives is never emptied of shining gold, with much and more to spare" But when the hand has to count it's pennies for daily bread the coming of gladstone Christmas is looked forward to with heartac91es and despair; aye, and with sobs at the realization of the sacri- fees which it will entail for many weeks after.
