SWAPPING THE CRANBERRY.

Dinner Game Suggested, but Not Rec
commended.
This Is a game to be played at the
Christmas table. When the cranberry
sauce is brought on each guest must
place cranberry on the end of a
knife. holding the knife In the left
hand with the right hand close behind
the cranberry. At the word SNAP"
given by the hostess. the cranberry
should be snapped with the first fin
ger of the right hand at the target.
The game shall be continued until each
player has shot away all of his cram
berries. The score is counted thus:
Hitting the hostess with cranberry
counts one.
Hitting grandpa counts two; grand
ma, three; Uncle Will. four; Uncle
Tom. five. and so on. depending on
whom the guests and those around the
table are.
A cranberry that goes on the floor is
out of play. but one that falls in any
persons lap or sticks in the hair or
on coat or dress can be picked up
and played again. Anybody that hits
anybody else squarely on the nose
counts fifty to the lucky players score.
This is a highly diverting game and
one that all will enjoy. especially the
hoStess.-New York World.

THE WISE CHRISTMAS BUYER.
Keeps List From Year to Year and
Makes Notes at All Times.

Keeps List From Year to Year and
Makes Notes at All Times.
The buyer who really puts some al
truism into her Christmas shopping
makes out her list several weeks in
advance. In fact. some keep their list
from the year before so that they will
not give the same person the same
thing. Others make mental or writ
ten notes throughout the year Of va
rious articles for which they have
heard friends express a desire Such
note taking will greatly lessen their
laborS.
1t is no light thing to choose Christ
mas gifts judiciously. The whole Sc
cret of their acceptability lies in their
appropriateness. Not only must they
be appropriate to the person from
whom they come and to whom they
60, but to the circumstances In which
the receiver is placed.
For instance. there are few house
keepers who do not welcome the addi-
ton Of fine table linen to their store
But If to housekeeper who lives
plainly in simple surroundings SUI
perb lace teacloth or doilfes that throw
her other possessions into the shade
are given there Is an unsuitability
about the gift that robs it Of much Of
its charm.

Writing Christmas
"Thank You" Notes

r-~ssss<Asf-1ESssSfsa~
~ F course Santa Claus will bring
you some note paper. Perhaps
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 part of the Christmas
fun. If you make 1t 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.
This is one Of the big things to remem-
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 card attached don't take
1t 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 a
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 prettily
expressed. neatly written note OF
thanks when there is no chance for "a

THE HOUSE ACROSS THE
WAY.

THERE is a house across the
way
u Where last year childish shouts
were heard,
But all Is silent there today
Save for the sadly whispered word.
No holly wreaths with ribbons
graced
In yonder windows shall appear;
No letters in the frost are traced
They'll have no Christmas tree
this year.
There used to be sliding place
There in the yard where children
played.
BY one who had a merry face
The loudest noise was always
made.
But not child is sliding now.
And all is sadly still today.
A shadow seems to rest somehow
Upon the house across the way.
No child peers from the window
there
To see the postman come and pass.
No toys are piled in corners where
The doors last year were locked.

No pleasing. festive signs appear.
