Mrs. BriCklayer herself could dress some wonderful clotheSpin dolls to live in the doll house. Per. haps Johnny could find pair of wheels and make q new soap box cart for Susie and Tim 10 play with. And there was Katie wishing for dolls dishes and clothes so much. Father Bricklayer was handy with tools; perhaps he could make little cupboard out of the ever useful soap box.

 days are celebrated. This ap- plies especially to the Alaskan pen insula and adjoining islands, where many of the natives belong to the Rus sian church with her Julian calendar It is only since the coming of the American public school and mission that the American Christmas" has been introduced in those parts. Ac- cording to the Julian calendar, Christ mas, Dec 23. falls on the day that is Ian. in the calendar elsewhere.
 According tG the Russian church in Alaska, Christmas begins at 2 o'clock In the morning, when the church bells announce the birth of Christ. and when the natives come out of their hutS they find a bright and beautiful star of Bethlehem over the church bcckoning them. The church Is a small wooden building decorated with pictures of saints, lighted by candles, without seats or heat. The two sexes are ranged on the opposite sides of the room, either standing or kneeling On this particular morning service Is held from ? until G and is made up of sing ing and reading. Although to white people 1t would seem a very great hardship to stand on the feet for four hours on cold winter morning, yet the natives would consider 1t the worst kind of punishment should they he forced to stay away.
 After the service the feasting and rejoicing begin. In the evening there takes place a very picturesque repre- scntation of the wise men following the star of Bethlehem to where the Christ Child is. As soon as 1t fs night the young people separate into groups. One of the group goes before. carry ing large, beautifully trimmed star, in which q candle burns. On entering a house the party sings hymns and carols, as 1t was done centuries ago.
 These songs are either in the old Russian or in the Aleutian language Many of the voices have the softness and sweetness so peculiar to Indian races, and this. combined with the charming old church music produces very agreea ble effect When they have sung and have been entertained the wise men proceed to the next house. This singing Is kept up three nights
 During the remaining nights of the Christmas week another Biblical scene Is presented-IIerod's men searching for Jesus to kill him. Some one knocks 1t the door, and when it is opened a small masked party enters very softly and mutely and occupies itself in searching, and after some little time 1t passes out as silently as 1t came.
 The new year is welcomed in with a grand masquerade ball, generally given by the chief of the village. The dance hall is a small room lighted by dripping candles. is just about high enough for one to stand up straight, and the floor is far from smooth A squaw, Aleutinn boy and half breed furnish the music on an accordion, harmonicon and guitar Such airs as "The Squaw Harbor Quadrille" can be played well only by such an orchestra.
