THE CHRISTMAS SHIP

(Nachel Linsay In Chicago Rec,
Behold the masthead light.
A star OF rose and white.
That holy sky-boru gem,
The Star of Bethlehem.
And right and left, behold
Forms in robes OF gold.
Cherubs upon the air,
Seraphs crowned and fair.
Swinging censers bright
And singing in the night:
The world must play again
And pray aid love again.
Peace and good will TO men,
Now why the voyage boldf
What cargo in the hold?
This barQue to Europe brings
Toys and useful things:
Flannel petticoats,
Clockwork motorboats.
Boxes OF children's shoes,
Hammers boys can use.
Blankets, shawls and wraps
Scarfs and gloves and caps.
Wreaths and bright festoons,
Whistling balloons,
And Christmas candles fine,
All sent but as a sign
That love may still be found
In babes the world around.
CRATES are down below,
Tin herds OF buffalo.
beers and bears and hens,
Wooden pigs and pens.
A sort of Noah's ark,
With beasties on a lark
Woody cats and dogs.
Rubber jumping frogs,
Elephants that caper
And dolls of coIored paper.
Thus speaks a little sled
With body painted red:
"A Kansas German boy
This Christmas will enjoy,
So hope l will make glad
Some rosy Russian lad"
A staid New England child
A sawdust Santa mild
For a Prussian child's delight
Gives with words polite.
4 Yankee-Belgian hopes
His hoops and jumping ropes
Will be the whims that please
On Austrian Christmas trees.
A doll with smiling face
Sings with lisping grace:
From Halsted street / part
From Servian Annals heart;
j seek to find a sweet
Small German Marguerite"
And all the gifts are bold.
Sing TO the storm and cold:
We toys are silly things,
But we may conquer kings"
To orphans in the street
Whose hearts in terror beat.
To families on the march
Whom bloody heavens arch,
To peasant mothers bowed
In fields by cannon pIowed,
This ship of filigree
Is crossing the iron sea.
This children's new crusade
Goes onward, unafraid.
And viii the dear design
Achieve its Palestine?
Or like that one OF old.
In wreck and loss untold.
BE turned to weed and spray
And rags of yesterday?
Who is the pilot then?
a chief of armored men?
And does he dress in braid.
In sword and stripes arrayed?
The Christ-chiId guides the whes
So let the wild world kneeI.
Loyelter than the day
He steers the star-ship's way.
Oh, shining face, too fair,
Soft hands and wind-blown hair,
This babe should curl and rest
Against the Virgins breast.
The little roses bound
His lily forehead round,
Have cut him with their briars
And the storm has blasting fires.
rhunders that make him reel,
That shake the mast and wheel.
But the Christ-child bravely steer
Through the blaclness of the year
Through the sadness of the seas
With its dolls and tinsel trees
And his bales of useful things.
And the angel chorus sings:
The world must play again

How to Eradicate
All Superfluous Hair
Advice by n Skin Specialist

AS soon as women of to-day learn
that permanent removal of ugly, re-
pulsive hair growths can only be gain
ed by reaching the hair root and not
by using common, worthless depila-
tories such as burning pastes, powders,
evil smelling liquids, etc, the better
1t will be for their happiness and
safety. Nor can the electric needle be
depended upon to give satisfactory
results without danger of horrible
scars of facial paralysis. The best
means 1 have ever found that never
fails to remove all signs of disfgur-
Ing growths of hair on the face, neck,
arms or hands is a simple, inexpensive
preparation called Mrs. Osgood's Won
der. 1t is absolutely harmless, cannot
lnjure the skin or complexion and in a
surprisingly large number of cases has
succeeded in killing the hair down to
the very roots, source of all growth.
When the roots are killed no more hair
can grow. You can get Mrs. Osgood's
Wonder from Kennedys Drug store or
any up-to-date druggist or department
store. Signed Money Back guarantee
with every package. Let me caution
you however, not to apply this treat
ment except where total destruction of
hair is desired

! The danger that menaces her from
without is manifold. 1t lies in the
fact that she is easily the dupe of
spurious affection. The man who
wins her need not be worthy of love
he need only be capable of meeting
her love of love. He need not be
| loyal and fine and worthy If once he
has come to be the object of her false
ideas of live. He is tempted to per-
NIT her to lavish her affection upon
him and to give only sort of tolera-
ton in return.
There are a number of things in
life besides loving and marrying and
| giving in marriages. Love and mar
| riage do not come to every woman.
The girl who fostered her own longing
for home and husband at the expense
of the work that is hers to do daily
interferes with her own growth and
advancement.
Day dreams are beautiful things
but they have a way of occupying
time that ought to be given over to
the actualities of the day. There is
work for each of us to do. There are
duties and strivings and efforts that

our best to the tasks that are here

all the more readily into life If 1t is

Graves aIIectlOn, Dut is IN grave udn-
ger all the time because of her own
emotional nature.
Love is a beautiful and holy thing.
1t is worth waiting for and striving
for and working for and dreaming of.
But in order to be worthy of real
love when 1t comes, one must not
waste her beautiful and holy power
of feeling deep things in a series of
light and trifiing emotions Affection
can be spent like any other of life's
great riches. 1t must not be wasted
and scattered.
The girl who is in love with love is
in danger from within and without.
Her own nature inclines her to look
for love, to idealize some man and
even to try to force the knowledge of
her charms on some one not at all at
tracted by her. 1t makes her forward
and not so particularly lovable.
1t causes her to be impatient of
guidance and to foster silly affairs
of which she would not dare let her
parents know. 1t causes her to yield
too quickly to fiattery and blandish-
ment and 10 find delight in all sorts
of people against whom her sober
Judgment would warn her If only she

6375 Fancy Double Coat,
"a to 42 bust.

The double coat makes an exceedingly
interesting feature of autumn styles. Un-
doubtedly it owes its inspiration to the
cape yet it is distinctly coat and one
that will be found very generally be-
coming. This model is exceedingly simple
TO make since the sleeves are in the Jap
anese style and the various pieces can be
put together without difficulty. In the
picture, only the collar is of contrasting
material but this is a season when we will
see a great many combinations of silk
with wool, and of plain material with
fancy material and a quite different and
equally handsome effect could be obtained
by making the under coat of one material
while the over coat and vest portions are
of another, wearing the coat with tunic
skirt treated in similar way.
For the medium size, the coat will re-
quire S yds. Of material IT, 4H yds. SO,
55s yds. a. or so in. wide, with Il yd.
~ in. wide for the collar.
The pattern 8375 is cut in sizes from "a
