In Hades. Their having TO give leaves
sour taste in their mouths; they do
not like to be bothered by any thing
so utterly useless and shallow To be
left alone would have suited them
more. And, still, if we look into their
hearts, do they want to be among the
unbothered? No they enjoy receiving
gifts; but they do not wish to be Civ
ers. Theirs is sad lot; they are not
happy with themselves or with Others
There are, Of course, many who keep
childish passion for giving alive
They give to those they love because of
enjoyment they derive from it; they
do not set up standard of measure
for their presents; they give willingly
and unselfishly. Our religious train

Still further, we should, with the
best OF endeavors, try to see what
Christmas really means to US. Is it
primarily a time to sbe devoted gift
giving? The popular mind would per-

even though this thought is wide

quiet celebration in honor of our Lord
Jesus Christ, is of first importance
giving is subordinate to it. We should
not let the latter take a too prominent

was a pup of seven weeks. Never
since had Monkey and Mrs. Jack
son been separated. They travelled
nearly $4,000 miles together, and put
up at the best hotels, where she al

Mrs. Jackson spent more than
$4,000 for Monkeys" comfort and
health in the last II years.
The body of the dog, in costly
laVendar plush casket, was exhibited

Of hundreds of people who came to
see the remains, only relatives and
immediate friends of the family were
admitted. .-. -... ..-
The funeral was conducted with as
much dignity and costliness as if for
child of wealthy parents.
A hearse carried the casket to Price
Hill, where Monkey" was buried in
lot furnished by the Ohio humane
society. There were six carriages in
the cortege. Funeral services con-.
sisted of short addresses by members
of the humane society, of which Mrs.
Jackson is a member.
Hundreds of people clamored for
admission to the Jackson home. A
policeman stood guard at the en-
trance.
Monkey" was brown, with smaller
feet and head than is usual for pugs.
The dog slept between blankets, with
a pillow for its head, and would sleep
no place else.
Monkey was no ordinary dog.
He was as sensible as child. We all
loved him dearly, and treated him
kindly, just like child" said Mrs.
jackson.

Nearly every woman desires dress
that she can pop into in the morning
with no loss of time over troublesome
fastenings. This sort of dress is an
absolute necessity to the housewife
with children to be hurried off to
school, while the college girl is always
thankful for a garment that will save
her marks in hardness.
This design is very easily made up
and is simple in every way. The dress
is in one piece and fastens with but
tons that may be plain or fancy, as one
pleases.
In the design the gown is of dark
blue SERGE with blue silk sleeves
ri; die and collar. over the silk col
lar should be worn one of lingerie. as
in the illustration. No matter whether
the collar be of the plainest linen or
daintiest lingerie, keep it Immaculate
Indeed the sweetest collar and cuff set
for this sort of dress is dotted SWISS
with Il narrow frill of lace or of net.
The back of the dress is moderately
full and is fitted to the waist. The belt
is continued under the f. onts to keep
the skirt from pulling. This design is
not only useful for all ages of women
as Il morning frock, but it can also be
used as a maternity gown, as the front
may be worn as loose as one likes.
1t will be found attractive to make
up dress like this of brown serge. or
some light wool. and trim it with

JEWELRY INDIVIDUALITY

Women no longer like jewelry sim
ply because of its intrinsic value. They
like it because of its suitability. 1t
must bring out the best in themselves
and their clothes to be worth buying.
A clever woman who sells jewelry in
a fashionable shop said recently that
it was far more necessary for her to
understand something about color mar
mony and human nature than about
the value of the jewelry she handled
The day has passed. she said, when the
size of a womans pocketbook suggests
the size and sort of jewelry she Will
buy.
Well dressed women wish to wear
distinctive jewelry. different sorts with
different frocks. So when they have a
new frock they must have new jew
for the new frock they take samples of
it to match up in jewelry.
OF course this individual sort of jew
elry must necessarily be relatively in
expensive. For even a woman with an
unlimited dress allowance would hest
tate at buying jewels worth Il fortune
newer sort of jewelry depends not at
all on its intrinsic Value-for often il
has very little of that-to attract its
buyers.
Jewelry, too, is nowadays often
composite part of ones frockS. There
are buckles at the shoulders and at the
girdle, there are strands of semi
precious stones about the neck, and
there is embroidery in rhinestones,
glass beads and jet that all give the
same effect as more expensive jewelry.
