Writing Christmas
"Thank You" Notes

- E course Santa Claus will bring
you some note paper Perhaps
b he will bring you some pref
ty correspondence cards with
your initial in the corner. The first
use to make Of any such present is in
writing THANK you" notes to the per-
sons who have sent you Christmas
presents.
Don't let your mother or big sister
take this pleasure away from you. Re-
member this is a part of the Christmas
fun. If you make it work it will be
your own fault Commence thinking
beforehand what you want to say in
those neatly written THANK you"
notes. If you have something all
thought out half the work is already
done.
One of the first things you'd think of
if you were speaking directly to the
giver would be just what the present
was. You wouldn't say to Cousin
Kate. for instance, THANK you for
your present" You would be pretty
sure to say just what the gift was.
l. A11S 10 OhO VI IhC O1S5 Lh1hS5S W
Der when you write your THANK you"
notes. Mention the present in each
case.
This gives a real personal touch to
your note and proves that you didn't
get your presents mixed up. If you
are one of the fortunate children who
get ever so many presents be sure to
keep track of the names Of the givers.
If there is a card attached don't take
it off until you are sure you will re-
! member just who gave you that partic
| ular sled or doll or music box.
If you are afraid of spelling some
sheets of your pretty new paper be-
fore you get the note nicely placed get
some one to cut couple of pieces of
ordinary paper of just the same size
as your Christmas note paper. With
little practice you will learn just how
far up on the page to begin and about
how far down on the page your name
will come. No one expects long let
ter just at Christmas time. but every
one has a right to expect a prettily
expressed. neatly written note Of
thanks when there is no chance for
'Thank you" in words

The Taffy Pull

7HE best pulled taffy is made
with granulated sugar and
should be cooked in small
j patches To two pounds of
sugar allow just enough water
to dissolve the sugar. One will
find that taffy is better if made
in an old fashioned iron or steel
skillet than in porcelain. as there
is less danger of ScOrching. Taft
fy should boil rapidly. In test
ing use very cold water. dip a
teaspoonful from the center, but
do not stir the boiling taffy or it
will turn to sugar. Have butter
ed plates to pour the taffy into
and grease the hands with but
ter to handle it. The best pulled
taffy turns chalky if kept a few
days and is then very delicious
if rolled in unsweetened chocO-
late.

Prayer For the Children

Whenever children go to bed
And hang their stockings up with care
I pray that Santa Claus somehow
Will find the time to journey there.
I pray no little child will wake
At morn to find upon his cot
An empty stocking and to weep
Because old Santa Claus forgot
For Santa Claus is not alone
The patron saint of rich. I'm sure.
But he is loved as dearly by
The little children of the poor.
And so pray that he may find
The poorest urchin in the land
And that no little trusting child
May wake to weep and understand.

CHRISTMASTIDE

CHRISTMAS hath darkness
~ Brighter than the blazing moon;
Christmas hath a chilliness
Warmer than the heart OF June:
Christmas hath a beauty
Lovelier than the world can show.
Christina Rossetti.
HEAP on more wood. The wind is chill;
IL But let it whistle as it WILL
Well keep our Christmas merry still.
Walter Scott.
DING out. We crystal spheres! Once
IL bless our human ears,
If we have power to touch our senses so,
And let your silver chime move in melo-
diOus time.
And let the bass of heavens deep organ
blow.
And with your ninefold harmony make up
full consort
To the angelic symphony.
John Milton.
IT is the Christmas time,
Il And up and down 'twixt heaven and
earth
In glorious grief and solemn mirth
The shining angels climb.
d. NJ Mulock Craik.
SHEPHERDS at the grange
~ Where the Babe was born
Sang with many a change
Christmas carols until morn.
Henry w. Longfellow.
THE star which they saw in the east
Il Went before them till it came and
Stood over where the young Child was.
Matthew.
CNTERRY Christmas hear them say
AVA AS the east is growing lighter
May the joy Of Christmas day
Make your whole year gladder, brighter.

SIMPLE GIFTS FOR CHRIST
MAS TIME.

A paperweight may be made
of Christmas ribbon in the form
of bag filled with bird shot or
lead and tied with narrow rib
bon at the top.
For small bIotter cut half a
dozen different colored blotters
the size of a postal card, bore
hole through bIotters and postal
card at each end and tie to-
qether with Christmas ribbon.
Choose card with an appro-
pirate greeting.
An attractive way to make a
floral calendar is to take twelve
sheets of sketching paper, cut
into some neat design and paste
on each leaf the floral symbols
of each month. You can cut the
flowers from any seed catalogue.
The calendar leaf should be
tastefuliy placed.
A gift quickly made is dec
grated tablet, which is useful
for recording messages. Buy any
kind of tablet and carefully
remove the cover SO that the
cloth binding will not be spoiled.
Make new cover from bright
red mounting board and decorate
it with holly leaves cut from
white paper colored green. Ar
range the leaves in punches or
wreaths.
Coat hangers are always &C
ceptable and are easily made at
tractive. One covered with holly
ribbon, with bunch of frosted
artificial holly leaves attached TO
the wire, is pretty.
a useful shirt waist bag may
be made from a yard and three
fourths of white paper cambria.
Use narrow tape for drawstring
and cotton floss to work the in
itiaIs of the owner.
A suitable present for little
girl is tiny kiE,ono. One can
be made in an hour from any
preferred material.

The Shoppers.

Oh, have you seen the shopping crusA
Where all the bargains are?
With pallid face and solemn hush
Man views it from afar,
But woman braves the awful din
And does not lose her head.
And angels, so to speak. rush in
Where others fear to tread.
She carries bundles in each hand
And meath her elbows, too.
And with a smile so sweet and bland
Still looks for something new.
Our football giants would not chance
The broken limbs and necks
They risk whom in our ignorance
We style 1.-THE weaker sex"

ObIona Houses.

Square and oblong houses are cheap
CT to build than odd shaped structures.
The oblong house is cheaper than the
square. Timbers come in certain
lengths. and the house that is long and
narrow takes less timber than one that
is square-that is to say. the material
cuts to better advantage in the ohlons
house than in the square house: also
less labor is involved in the making

Way to Rest.

Lying fiat on the floor is a good
way to rest and relax, but much bet

to rest. To rest the eyes and make
them bright, while lying down have
