nies Sor those little mosquito netting bags
that held only a thimbleful or so Of
''stringing beads" many OF which had
forgotten the purpose for which they
were intended and came to you without
any holes at all. Can you not picture.

boxes of beads. beads with holes in them.
would bring 10 little girl on her birth
day morning? These beads can be pur-
chased in the art needlework stores. Pro-
cure a two-pound or five-pound candy
box-even a one-pound box would bring
joy-and hunt about for all the small
boxes that you have received from the
jewelry store and such places. II you
cannot collect enough of these from your
friends, provided your own supply is
limited, the druggist will probably help
you out. They need not be all of the
same kind. They will probably be more
interesting looking IL they are of diff
ferent sorts. Then go to the art needle
work store and I'LL those same boxes,
each with a different color or kind of
beads Get some strong thread in the
and some needles for the same purpose
and tuck them in a corner of the big
box. together with the rows of little
bead boxes that you have packed full
to bursting. Then tie the box up in
pretty white paper and big red ribbon

To Keep the Skin
Velvety in Winter

The skin il very susceptible to the
harsh winds of winter, yet a complexion
OF veivety softness and divine fairness
Is easily attained In the coolest weather
by using a plain mayatone lotion. This
lotion should be used night and morning
after cleansing and drying the skin care
fully. 1t Is made at little cost-just dis
solve an original package of mayatone
in one-half pint witch hazel. This is ideal
for banishing saliowness, blotches, skin
and all discolorations.

EMOTIONAL VALUE OF DAY
Christmas Spirit Almost Universally
Felt, But What It Is Remains a
Mystery to Many.

The emotional value of Christmas
may be said to be universally felt.
Something happens at Christmas that,
If only for a day or two, does the
whole world good. What that some
thing is remains for many mystery.
number of persons who feel the
renewing impulse are like Faust when
the notes of the Easter song arrest
his suicidal intent; they take and en-
joy the moments deliverance and con-
tinue to regard the source Of the boon
as nothing more than mythology made
potent through human associations.
Others are moved through supersti-
tious fears; they approach the great
season with consciences crowded with
uncomfortable memories; Marley's
ghost is after them, but, unlike
Scrooge, their new heart is only for
Christmas week. Another group sim
ply fall in with an ancient custom
and are surprised, and indeed pleased,
when the dry bones of their unbeliev-
ing minds come together, take on
flesh, and begin to live. A vast null
titude meet the great day with buoy
ant expectation, take with thanks it's
new happiness, return to their work
in this exalted mood, and ask no ques.
tions about cause and effect. A few
philosophize on the phenomenon, and
they are willing to stake their lives
on the substantial truth of their in
sight.-George A. Gordon, in Atlantic
Monthly.
