A Christmas Stocking.

1t is not always the gift itself, but
the way in which it is presented that
commends itself particularly to the
recipient To the girl who thinks
she is too old to hang up her stock
ings, send pair of silk stockings, US
ing one to fill, and roll up the other
and stick it in the foot The rest of
the stocking should be filed with in
expensive trifles-a homemade jabot,
tie or collar, a handkerchief, some
candy, nuts, raisins, crab apples, a
card or calendar, perhaps some lit
tie kindly hints at her hobbies that
will amuse her. Each of these ar
ticles should be wrapped separately
IN tissue paper and red ribbons, and
the excitement of opening the mystic
rious small packages will often exceed
the pleasure taken in one large gift
that would have cost no more than
the numerous small ones.

The Universality of Christmas.

Primarily, of course, Christmas is
religious festival. In the Christian,
with sincere belief in the Christ, who
is the foundation rock of his religion,
the words of priest and pastor, eXhort-
ing his flock to observe the day with
response. From every pulpit is told
anew each year the story of him with
out whom Christmas had never been.
But Christmas appeals also to the
nonbeliever in Christ, to the men and
women who cannot subscribe consci-
entiously to the doctrine of his divin-
ity. 1t is trite, perhaps, to say that as
Christmas approaches the Christmas
spirit is sin the air." but it is true
none the less. peace and good will''
pervade the air that is breathed alike
by churchgoer and nonattendant.
In the big cities Christmas is cele-
brated by Christian and Jew and Mo-
hammedan as well as by those with no
religion. In the outermost corners of
Ine earln, WHEREVER nen VI Cnrlsllah
faith have borne the standard of civili-
zation, the native heather in intimate
contact with them feel the coming of
the spirit and rejoice.
1t is well that this should be so, for
the spirit of Christmas is the spirit of
belief not only in Christ, but in ones
fellow men. Every one may share in
it If he will. Every one may find in
the story of the life that was lived in
Palestine nineteen centuries ago, of the
death that was met ON the cross and
of the resurrection that followed, some
thing of personal application, some
thin1 of uDlift.

AN uNoRTHoDox CHRISTMAS.

T WENT to spend the day with Rose,
and then
A Christmas greeting passed between us
two,
But twas not peace on earth, good will
to men,"
We only said: Good morning!" "How
dye do?'
A ND then to her 1 offered smilingly
A The present she expected me to bring.
There were no hanging hose, no Christ
mas tree.
The box was tied in paper with a string.
WE didn't sit beside the Yule log's
w blaze.
We just turned on the radiators steam.
And dinner, unlike those of storied days,
Gave no plum pudding, but some bisque
ice cream.
WE didn't hear the church bells solemn
w toll,
And when we had our Christmas even
ing lunch
We didn't have a steaming wassail bowl,
But just a jug of simple claret punch.
WE trampled on traditions, suppose,
w Yet one rite we observed with care
but, no;
Although 1 well remember kissing Rose,
1t wasn't under the mstletoe
Life.

A WONDERFUL TREE.

THERES a wonderful tree, a won
derful tree,
The happy children rejoice to see,
A Spreading it's branches year by
1t comes from the forest to flourish here.
oh, this wonderful tree, with its branches
wide,
Is always, is always blooming at Christ
mastide!
But not for us children did this tree grow,
With its strange, sweet fruit on each
laden bough.
For those we love we have made with
care
Each pretty thing you see hanging there.
May this wonderful tree, with it's branches
wide,
Bring joy to our friends at Christmas
tide!
For a voice is telling its boughs among
OF the shepherds watch and the angels
song,
OF holy babe in the manger low
The beautiful story of long ago,
When a radiant star threw its beams so
wide
I'0 herald the blessed first Christmastide
Then spread thy branches, wonderful tree,
And bring the pleasant thought to me
OF him who came from his home above,
The richest gift of his Fathers love.
He came to show us how to spread far
and wide
The joys of the holy, sweet Christmas
tide.

What of Your Christmas spiritY

w nav VI OuI OhElStmab
The spirit of Christmas, as the ideal
lists have it, is not recognizable by the
real thing, according to modern meth
DDS.
Theoretically everything is bright,
gay, full of peace for oneself and good
wishes for the rest of the world.
Actually Christmas may mean any
thing like this:
Grudging giving and discontented re-
ceiving.
Splurging on ones rich friends and
stinting where it is not likely to count.
Overgenerosity to the point of ex-
travagance.
Rushing until you detest Christmas
and everything connected with it.
Overworked nerves and overweight
tempers from a false conception of
Christmas giving.
A generous spirit for your own i'm
mediate circle and utter indifference
to whether any one else has a happy
day.
Gorging oneself in the interest of
Christmas cheer with no thought of a
tortured digestion and rockiness of the
day after.
A Christmas with not one thought to
the real meaning of the day and what
the world would have been had there
been no birthday Of king" to cele.

AN OLD lime CHRISTMAS.

TTVHE damsel donned her kirtle sheen.
The hall was dressed with holly
green.
n Forth to the wood did merry " en-
To gather In the mistletoe
Then opened wide the barons hall
To vassal, tenant, serf and all
Power laid his ROD of rule aside
And ceremony doffed his pride.
The heir, with roses in his shoes,
That night might village partner chuseI
The lord underogating share
The vulgar game of post and pair
All hailed with uncontrolled delight
And general voice the happy night
That to the cottage as the crown
Brought tidngs of salvation down.
The fire with well dried logs supplied
Went roaring up the chimney wide.
The huge hall tables oaken face,
Scrubbed till it shone, the day to grace,
Bore then upon it's massive board
No mark to part the squire and lord.
Then was brought in the lusty Drawn
BY old blue coated serving man;
Then the grim boars head frowned on
high,
Crested with bay and rosemary.
Well can the green garbed ranger tell
How, when and where the monster fell;
What dogs before his death he tore
And all the batting of the boar
The wassail round in good brown bowls,
Garnished with ribbons, blithely trowls.
There the huge sirloin reeked; hard by
Plum porridge stood and Christmas pie.
Nor failed old Scotland to produce
At such high tide her savory goose.
Then came the merry maskers in
And carols roared with blithesome din.
If unmelodous was the song
1t was hearty note and strong
Who lists may in their mumming see
Traces Of ancient mystery.
White shirts supplied the masquerade,
And smutted cheeks the visors made.
But, oh, what maslers richly digit
Can boast of bosoms half so light?
England was merry England when
Old Christmas brought his sports again.
Twas Christmas broached the mightiest
ale;
Twas Christmas told the merriest tale.
A Christmas gambol oft would cheer
The poor mans heart through half the
year.
