A Christmas PRAYER.

Give me the eyes to see my brother's woe;
Grant me the vision that perceives his
care,
That I, amid my Christmas joys, may go
And take some QUO OF mitigation
there.
God point the way that I may quickly
find
His acre waiting for the glad relie.,
And ope my eyes that ! may not be blind
To tasks OF love that ease the sting of
grief.

The Russian St. Nicholas.

In Russia the children put their
shoes filed with hay outside the door
for the horses of st. Nicholas; and
It is believed in most sections that
st. Nicholas comes first on a prepare
tory visit ten days before Christmas
to learn which children have been
good. He leaves nuts and candy in
the shoes of those who have been
good, but nothing for those who have
been bad, who thus know that they
may expect no presents on the real
Christmas day.

The Bran Pie.

n Bran Pie.
This is an English custom. The
gifts are hidden in a large pan Of bran.
A string is tied to each package, and
on the end of the string is the name
Of the one for whom the package is
intended. When all have their strings
they all pull. Then comes the fun of
getting the bran of and opening the
packages.

SHOULD sLoAN's LINlMENT GO ALONG

Of course it should! For after
strenuous day when your muscles
have been exercised to the limit an
application of Sloan's Liniment
will take the soreness and stiffness
away and get you in fine shape for
the morrow. You should also use
it for sudden attack of toothache,
stiff neck, backache, stings, bites
aud the many accidents that are
incidental to vacation. ''We
would as soon leave our baggage
as 90 on vacation or camp out
without Sloan's Liniment" writes
one vaoationist: 1--WE use it for
everything from cramps to tooth
ache" Put a bottle in your bag,
be prepared and have no regrets.

1t was Al Jolson's homecoming
night at the Belasco Theater, and
the first performance in Washington
of the new Winter Garden show,
Robinson Crusoe, Junior was
marked by joyous and prolonged
demonstrations by the numerous
friends of the popular blaelcface
hero. The comedian was exuberant
with responsive ginger, and sang his
new songs, as we'll as a medley of his
old and familiar ones, with a zest
that at least appeared to be beyond
his ordinary manner. Those absurd
little ways Of his were more diverting
than ever and the gusto with which
he delivered his serio-comic ballads
made you think him at moments al
most over-sentimental.
AS for the play, it was a regular
show, and varying opinions were heard
in the audience as to whether IL was bet
ter than the 'Follies" There is the
usual riot Of noise and color, the usual
Winter Garden crop Of choral beauties,
NAAo usual COAcSblOu OF ulSOnCIly UNUSUAL
personalities and specialties; there Is
good old Lawrence DOrsay, In the de-
hghtful likeness OF himself, as always
but with only one good chance, in a de-
hcious coloquy with Al Jolson; there
are several witches among the feminine
principals, especially Kitty Doner, who
combines a smart and snappy style with
pleasing simplicity, and Mabel Withee,
a dainty and. ingenious beauty who is
also q graceful dancer.
By far the most genuinely beautiful
and clever act in the list of speciaIties is
the Spanish dance in the last scene, by
Mile Isabel Roddiguez, assisted by Barry
Luptno. This wonderfully expressive and
graceful Interpretation Of Castilian pride
and passion met with scant appreciat ton
from the audience last night, owing IN
part, no doubt, to the lateness of the
hour.

Laurette Taylor at National;

Laurette Taylor struck a serious note
on The Harp Of Life" and went deep
down into the heart Of things at the
National Theater last evening If any
one thought Peg O. My Heart" was to
be reincarnated in the new play he was
mistaken. 1t Is much more important
contribution to stage literature and de-
hvers an inspiring message in an atmos-
phere Of great charm. Epigrams sparkle
like an intellectual fireworks show, and
Miss Taylor is Joy as the devoted
mother.

What songs are sung on the harp of
life! Sylvia Brooke has always been the
chum OF her boy Leonard. She has kept
her youth by living her life through his
young ideas and ideals, and scarcely
realizes that he has come to mans es-
tate, until she learns the character of
Some Of his associates and he tells her
OF his feverish amour with a certain Mrs
leila Verona and Of his determination to
marry the woman.
IN an intensely dramatic scene be-
tween the mother and the woman, ZeilA
is brought to realize that she is robbing
the mother Of more than she ever knew
any one to possess. AL that is good in
her begins to assert itself. marriage
with such as she Is impossible The
woman undergoes a heroic struggle with
in herself TO resist the temptation of
yielding to her desire to be lifted out Of
