The GIFTS FOR MOTHER

The gladdest hour Of Christmas day.
The time the hearts are lghtest
An every care is chased away
An all the smiles are brightest,
Is when the family, young an old,
From dad to little brother,
With all the love that hearts can hold
Come bringing gifts to mother.
We keep her presents till the last
An then when she sits rocking,
An all the other gifts are passed.
We go an get her stocking.
We gather round her easy chair,
First one an then the other
Steps up an says: ''Well, declare!
Here's something else for mother!"
An with each present goes kiss,
An all is still an quiet
When mother murmurs: What is this?'
An hastens to unite 1t.
Then everybody wildly cheers
An shouts for perfect gladness,
An mothers eyes are moist with tears,
But not the tears Of sadness.
Oh, here's a scene that gold can't buy.
Or stage in imitation,
The smiling face, the glistening eye
OF loves own celebration.
And with each jolly Christmas day
We pray to know another
When we shall meet the self-same way
And bring our gifts to mother.

It would tie the proper thing.
Il have my duty to the children OF
this world, and I must not impair my
health or my power of service to them
by the strenuous work demanded in
the movies. No doubt would prove
a very popular star at the children's
matinees. But I wonder If the chill
dren who see me in their dreams do
not get a better and more fattering
idea of me than they would in the
picture.
"You see, my dear sir, the camera
does not lie. l am sure it would not
lie for me when it will not tell false
hoods about the appearance Of kings
and potentates. Every child in the
world thinks of me as a very hand
some old gentleman. Some of them
may have an idea that I am inclined
to be a little stout-but good many
others imagine l have as graceful a
form as that of young soldier. They
think I curl my whiskers and have a
beautiful wave in my long, silky locks.

WHOLE WEEKS CELEBRATION
Descendants Of Old Spanish Settlers
Observed Christmas With Din
nero and Parties.

Among the descendants of the old
Spanish settlers we find that they OBJ
serve q week in the celebration Of
Christmas. This begins one week be-
fore Christmas. In the daytime they
have dinners at each others homes,
and In the evenings they give series
Of parties at the different houses. In
the evening the young folk go to the
home of one Of their number and
knock, and then all begin to sing.
Those within the house ask, "Who is
there?" and the answer is. 1.-THE Vir-
gin Mary and st. Joseph seek lodging
in your house." To carry out the b.
bic story they are at first refused ad-
mittance, and then the door is opened
wide and they are all given a hearty
welcome.
On Christmas eve the old and
young all join together and nave a
big celebration. In a large hall they
fix up one side to represent the man.
ger, and here they very solemnly give
a little play in which many take part,
the characters being Mary and Jo-
seph, the wise men, the shepherds
and the angels. This play is very real
to them, and they all play their parts
with q reverent spirit.

then to the smaller sole, silk upward.
When this is sewed together you have
a sole half an inch in thickness turn

The one thing to remember is to
take time in making this pretty box.
It costs next to nothing, but it will not
be success if carelessly done.
The writer saw an exquisite model
of this work case that is to be given
to bride. It is carried out in white
satin embroidered in silk and silver
thread in a wistaria design, the lin.
ing being Of wistaria- colored silk to
match.
This should be hint to girls who
have friends marrying during the hclf-
day season. If embroidery is beyond
the donors skill, tiny spray Of
orange blossom tied with silver cord
might decorate the top, or the initial
Of the bride could be placed there.

be so stated, with a ten-foot pole.
Mr.. Lee never had any thought of
printing or allowing to be printed
anything that was not true.
Thus Rockefeller stood pat. He
backed up his press agent, Lee. And
Lee thinks it is good thing for
bank to keep secret and hide from
the public and the bank depositors
the fact that the bank is bankrupt
and cover it up with statement that
there is 'readjusment of finances"

SOME PRESS AGENT IN LEE

SOME PRESS AGENT IN LEE
Ivy L. Lee is the highest paid press
agent in this country. He is nick
named Poison" Ivy Lee because he
is so nifty in poisoning news for the
newspapers.
Lee gets $1,000 a month from the
Rockefeller family. He has a staff
working under him to fix news for
the newspapers so it will be good for
the Rockefellers.
If you want to know how Ivy Lee
works at poisoning the news, if you
want his own ideas, you get them
here in parts of letters Lee wrote
to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and now
in the records of the U. S. industrial
relations commission:
1--WE can never be too careful in
the terms we use," he wrote. Some
time ago a certain public service cor
poration was in great financial diff
eulties. 1t could not pay its bond in
terest. Its skillful president induced
bOndhOlders. to agree to reduction.
1.-THE president then announced to
the public that there was to be re-
adjustment of the company's financ-
es. Now 'readjustment of finances
is so much better than saying your
company is bankrupt So no one
ever suggested that his company was
bankrupt.

must be careful of the terms we allow

we say to the public must be with
reference to its effect and not espe-

Chairman Frank P. Walsh read this
to young Rockefeller and asked if
he recalled reading it.
Rockefeller think it was very
sound philosophy.

Mr.. Lee for mendacity to deceive the
