FACING THE CRISIS.

Gentlemen, We must retrench."
The president of the great railroad
faced the board of directors. Every
face there blanched Mt the thought.
Yes" he continued, something
must be done to MAINTAIN our repu-
tation for integrity and for that sound
and conservative business policy
which has been one OF our distin-
gushing traits. For regret to say,
the interstate commerce commission
does not understand or appreciate
our condition. The cost of living has
Increased so much that alas! l fear
disaster. in view of the fact that we
are not permitted to raise our rates.
Gentlemen something must be done"
All eyes We're turned to the speak
er. At last. with voice that trem-
bled with emotion. one of the direc-
tors leaned forward.
What can you suggest? ?" he whis-
pered hoarsely
81 fear the worst. We must cut
our dividend"
A deathly silence ensued. 1t was
felt that the fate of several steam
yachts was in the balance Every
man there instantly realized what it
would mean
Can nothing else be done?"
Nothing"
Nothing"
Another director leaned forward
Gentlemen" he whispered. "let
us defer this until. say, day after to-
morrow. This will give us time to
sell out our holdings at the present
prices and buy them back very much
lower after this dreadful news has
passed out"

Packing the Xmas Box.

THERE is nothing more disappointing
than to receive a gay Christmas
package. decked with holiday tags and
bright ribbons and sprigs Of holly, and
to open it expectantly to find its con-
tents broken. The packing of the
Christmas box is really as important as
the making or choosing of the gifts that
fill it. Therefore, it behooves every send
er of Christmas gifts to pack them care
fully.
paper and excelsior. and patience make
sure the safe travelling Of even the most
fragile, articles.
Many persons make the mistake Of not
using enough packing Every article
should be so tightly wedged into place
that it cannot be budged.
Another serious mistake is the packing
of heavy articles on top of lighter ones.
The best way to do is to pack any heavy
article, like canned fruit for instance,
when that is sent as a Christmas gift
securely in a box by itself. But when
heavy and light things are mixed extra
care in packing must be taken. and the
heavy things must be put at the bot
tom of the box, the lighter things at the
top. Then the words This Side Up"
must be painted on the top OF the box,
in big, staring letters that will be surely
seen.
So much for general directions. When
you pack your Christmas Dox go ABOUT
it in this way:
First wrap each article in tissue paper.
label it with the name of the sender and
of the persons for whom it is intended,
and tie il with ribbons or colored cord.
Then put layer of excelsior in the bot
torn of the box-if Ii is big one to hold
many gifts-and place the heavier articles
on it, filling in the chinks between them
with more excelsior or wads of tissue
paper. Then put a thick layer of excel
sior over them and then put In more
gifts
Put an extra thick layer at the top Of
the box and nail a sound cover securely
over all. The box should be fairly bulg-
ing with excelsior.
put some waterproof wrapping about the
gift OF course, the smaller packages
are not generally sent in wooden boxes.
but heavy cardboard, well reinforced with
layers of newspaper inside. is quite safe.
1t would take good deal of rain to
penetrate cardboard and pasteboard and
the paper in which the package is wrap
ped. But it would take only sprinkling
shower to go through one thin paper
wrapping of a package strapped to a
postman's back.
Always address the packages plainly
and put the name of the sender where II
can be readily SEEN
When you are packing more than one
gift in box 1t is good plan to put a
little card on which is written a list of
the gifts inclosed where it will be surely
seen. Tie it to the topmost gift. if that
is big and conspicuous, or send 1t in an
envelope through the mails. Often valu-
able gifts have been overlooked in pack
ing materials.

Green and brown are a popular color

of brown that is used at the moment that
combines well with green. One striking
costume shows a combination OF green
taffeta and dull brown chiffon.
Rose leaves are used to edge the tunic
