when Howard Spencer came
out of his Northern city home
his laugh and mothers seem
to be pitched to the same key.
He found our secluded life fas-

ture resemblance to the one he
had left. 1t was as if he watched
children playing together at be-
ing grownups. We were sep

miles of space but there we
were enjoying the same round
of pleasures, only that our cir
Gle was SO much smaller. The
sight of us so isolated, and not
caring about it, seemed to him
a perpetual thing for laughter.
He liked to study personalities
and he and mother were CON
stantly seeing little idiosyncra-
cies to laugh together about
To them both, just the sight
of the world going by was en-
thralling.

Lively Tom
AlSNSASss11,eeSS1sxs

One Christmas game that is as old
as the records of games is usually
known by the name Of Lively Tom"
A small stick Is lighted at one end and
allowed to burn for few minutes un-
til, when the flame is extinguished,
there remains lively glowing point
The players being ranged In circle.
the stick is passed from hand to hand.
Each player before handing the stick
to his neighbor must repeat the words,
Toms alive" So soon as the words
are uttered the next player must re-
ceive the stick offered to him The
unlucky one who has Tom die In his
hands must pay forfeit /. The most
convenient forfeit for this game is that
the one who Is the victim should sub
NIT to wearing a mustache or eye
brows drawn on the face by the charred
end Of the stick itself.

A teakettle for grandmother. a sam

chaing dish for the college girl. a disk
stove for the bachelor, a fatiron or
sewing machine motor for the prac-
teal housewife--all these novel and
useful gifts will be appreciated by the
recipients.
1t should not be forgotten that these
electric Christmas gifts are all useful
gifts. Each of these devices is DE-
signed TO do some one thing better
than 1t can be done any other way.
whether it is to percolate coffee, toast
bread or furnish the power for rum
ming a sewing machine.
The presence of an electric perco-

better. The electric tea samoyar Is
rapidly becoming quite the thing for
the modern tea table.

How Electricity Provides the Sparkling
Cheer Without Risk Of Fire.
Nearly every 26th day Of DecembeE
we read In the morning papers the pa
thetic stories Of Christmas play that
ends in tragedy. 1t Is the annual toll
Of the Christmas tree candle. Every
city has dozens Of such cases each year.
The candle flame sets fire to the tinsel
trimming, curtain blazes up. and the
day Of festivity ends in sorrow or some
member Of the family Is badly burned.
The little electric tree lights are dec
orative and pleasing to children, and
they are safe and convenient. Tiny
lamps, fruits, roses. dogs. birds. snow
men and grotesque little figures are
all strung together on fine, silk covered
wire and may be readily connected to
any lamp socket behind the tree.
The little lamps sparkle and glow
They are the most effective Christmas
tree ornaments ever devised. and there
is far more fun for the kiddies. because
the lamps can burn as long as they are
wanted. They do not have to be watch
ed, and the little lamps can be used
year after year. They are suitable for
any festivity and add gayety to every
gathering Of children.
