| Perhaps, too, they will sing what is
said to be the earliest known Christ
mas carol, dating from the Anglo-Nor-
man days Of the thirteenth century,
which begins:
LordIings, listen to our Idy-
We haze come from far GacGy
TO seek Christmas.
In this mansion a0e are told
He his yearly fedsts doth hold;
IT'S today!
May joy come from God above
To all those toh0 Christmas love.
This carol ends with the toast of
those days:
"Here, then, / bid you all wassail,
cursed be he who will not say drink
hail." Wassail" meaning your health
and "drinkhail'' being the usual and
courteous acknowledgment.
One of the best known of all the old
carols, although not one of the oldest,
was written by Nahum Tate in 1903
and is called the "Song of the Angels"
1t begins:
While shepherds matched their fOcEs
By night,
All seated en- the ground,
The angel of the Lord came dosOn
And glory ShOne around.
Many are the carols in which Brit
aims ancient holly figures. "Then
drink to the holly berry," pledges one
writer of songs, while another in "Un-,
der the Holy Bough" summons "All We
who have scorned each other or injur-
ed friend or brother, come gather here"
And then there's that grand old hymn
"Adeste Fideles," sung in every church
in this land and in others, at this
Christmas season:
on, come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Come gre, oh, come ye to Bethlehem!
Christmas would not be Christmas,
Of course, if the waits" were to neg
lect one other of the most beautiful Of
old carols:
Holy might, peacefss night!
L H1OUyH CtO Jul hItCSG OOUUtS u GtyGts
Holy night, peaceful nf0ht!
Through the darkness beams a light!
Yonder, 10here they ssoSet rigiIs Keep
Ger the babe aobo, In ssbsmt sleep,
Rests in heavenly peace,
Rests in heGUenIy peace.
If there are any Of you who have
in mind an after Christmas GElner even
ing of song to the accompaniment of
harpsichord, spinet, a lutte .tr piano
or even the modern and much. adver-
tised disk machine, 1t might be well to
try this on the company:
"Hark the Herald Angels Sing"
HGrE! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the me105orn king;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciIedi
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies,
With the angelic host proclaim
Christ Is born In Bethlehem.
HGrEi The herald angles sing,
Glory to the nei0borm king!

city is provided by new shapes ana
new ways of developing hats and their
trimmings, and "age cannot wither or
custom-stale" the charm of these rich
stuffs. Hats made of them suggest the
splendor that is dear to women.
In the group of hats pictured here,
the turban at the left Is made of black
satin brocaded with gold. 1t is be-
coming shape with two pompons Of
fur daringly placed at the sides. Al
binding of black velvet about the edge
is immensely becoming as a finish
about the face.
At the right a small shape with
dropping brim has a round crown Of
black panne velvet and brim of sill
yer lace. About the brim edge there
is narrow brocaded ribbon, in bril-
liant colors under the silver lace and
the same ribbon appear again below
the collar of seal fur at the base Of
the crown. Here it is placed over the
lace. At the right side, a small bow
of the brocaded ribbon supports two
ends finished with q bit of fur and
silver.
The hat of gold lace at the center Is
called the "bustle" hat. 1t is entirely
of gold lace and gold net, the latter
puffed on to a wide bandeau at the
back. The brim is edged with fur. A
favorite trimming for hats of this kind
is narrow blue grosgrain ribbon
threaded through the gold lace about
the crown and little cluster Of small
brilliant flowers-posed somewhere on
the brim.

For the benefit of those who like
silver or gold laces and brocades of
satin with silver or gold, these hats
for mid-winter are shown. Their pop

of admirers.
Whenever a season brings silver or

reindeer ride over the roofs, the
waits prepare to sing their centuries

revived the beautiful old custom of the
"waits" going about from house to

 The government classer grades cot ton on the government standards The government standards have been adopted by all the principal cotton exchanges and markets in this coun- try. When your cotton is graded by our government cotton ciasser it will not be necessary to cut your bale and take a sample The ginner is under bond to take a fair sample When it is graded you know the grade and staple. YoC can guarantee the grade and staple when you offer it for sale. That .s better than any body's sampling.
 It is a burning shame for the farm CTS of Arkansas to raise and market a crop worth a hundred million dol lars and not know the value Of their product except what is told them by the local buyer. The shame is only the greater by the fact that very few of the local buyers know the value exc pt what is told them by the cot ton buyers from the points of con-

Little Rock, Ark. Sept 25.-The gins are now running and we are kept pretty busy grading cotton for fhi farmers Under the new gin law the ginner must take two samples from the bale as il is ginned and seal them The customer gets one of the samples. and if he wants to he can send il by mail to me on the u. .. Korean of Markets, Little Rock. and it will be graded and report of the grade and length of staple sent back the next day. This will en- able the farmer to know exactly what he has to sell He can keep posted on the value by reading the market quotations

 I hope the cotton growers will lend their cooperation under the operation of this new law, and will take advantage of It's benefits.
