CAs in the STYLES for their mascu-
u line elders, the keynote OF boys
fashions in both suits and over
coats runs towards belts and
shirred backs, belts and yoke
backs belts and pleat back, belts
all around, three piece belts, two
piece belts, mock belts and then
more belts.
e In short, the belted garment in
varioue conceptions OF expression
is the dominating style for fall
and winter.
Y The designers of these garments
have run riot TO introduce dis
tincNve touches Of novelty into
their models to get that differ
ent" effect from the other fellows
with result that the fashions
arc varied and voumlnouS.
But withal there is a,Superlatlve
degree Of nattiness in the boys
styles for this season that is
pleasing and pronounced
In the suits the lapels are a tri-
fle wider and shorter than here
toiore and come either to a very
sharp point or a slightly rounded
peak Collars are high set, pants
Z are of the bloomer style, but
with a triile less bagginess than
last season and come a triflc
higher below the knees
Coat cuffs show many forms OF
novelty ornamcntation expressed
mostly by button Treatments and
cloth tabs. Pockets are. either
patch, flap, slash or inverted
pleat. The flap pockets usually
embellished with button schemes.
u The general designing motif OF
the boys suits is the back of coat
treatment These are evidenced
by either box pleats or inverted
pleats, though many show Just
the plain back with slight shir-
ring above the belt line On
these coats the belts are attached
if back or else are OF the mock
belt order Most of the coats
with the more elaborate back
designing have either the belt all
around or the two or three piece
belt held by buttons at either
side or single button at the
center of the back. Many of the
belt all around styles have the
belt turned through the inside of
the coat so il can be buttoned at
front inside the coat or outside
at Wills, $3.50, $40, S2.5o to
S22.50.
In little fellows suts--thc tod
dlers, from 2H TO o years-a few
pinch back effects arc also shown
but the best models are of the
Eion or French MILDLY styles
large collars and considerable
button treatment A great many
wash materials will be employed
for indoor wear, also blue Sergcs
but for dress and outdoor wear
there is strong showing OF
plushes, velvets and corduroys

One Historic Christmastide,

The crusades had a wonderful influ-
ence upon the literary taste as we'll as
the national manners and festivities
of Christmastide.
1t was at the Christmas festival of
1914 that the barons demanded from
King John the document Wh3eA % the
foundation of English liberties IL
known by the name of Magma Charta.
Johns tyranny had become intolerable,
and the hopes of the people hung on
the fortunes of the French campaign,
in which he was then engaged. After
his defeat and return to England the
barOns met secretly and swOre to de-
mand the restoration of their liberties
by charter under the kings seal. Hav-
ing agreed to assemble for this pur-
pose at Christmas, they separated. On
the feast of the Epiphany the barOns
asked Of the king his confirmation of
the laws Of Edward the ConfessOr and
Henry l. John met the barons with
an absolute refusal, but, finding them
firm, pleaded for time to consider. This
was granted, and in 1915, knowing 1t
to be inevitable, he called the barOns
to Runymede and there signed the
great charter.

How Animals Figure
In Christmas Customs

TIME Christmas customs in Norway
and Swden are the most inter
esting of any country. 1t is time
OF great rejoicing. To show that there
are friendly feelings between every
one in The household the shoes are
placed in row in the hall when retir-
ing on Christmas eve, and. like the
German custom, candles are left burn
ing in the village windows all night
to light the way for "Kristine," who
brings the gifts. The Christmas tree
is largely decorated with candles and
pretty cakes arranged in bright colored
baskets, all usually home made.
The richer households send good
things to the poor, and everywhere
among both rich and poor are the ami
mails and birds remembered, says Our
Dumb Animals. The boys and girls
save up their pennies during the year
for this purpose. Sheaves of grain
are fastened to the window lodges in
town, and in the country the sheaves
are fastened to long poles and renewed
every day for a week, and many are
the birds that spy this feast. On the
barn floors If the peasants bowls Of
hot pOrrldge are set for poor robin
GO0dfellow" to comfort him because
he has no "sOul." The COWS and the
horses share in the general happiness
by having a double share of food given
them.
G n OH In nrfh lon n
to the southland or tropical countries
where Christmas is celebrated without
the evergreen tree to decorate and
hang gifts on. In Brazil the holiday
nay be spent outdoors in the sunny
flower scented air.
They have quaint SuperstitiOns In
these summer lands relative to Yule-
tide. On the coffee plantations the old
folk say that on Christmas night the
animals have the gift of speech and
that if only child has sufficient cour-
age to go out alone after dark it will
hear on the stroke Of II the cock
crow in a loud, cleac voice from his
highest perch:
"Christo nasceu"-Ch rist is bern.
The bull in a deep. sonOrOus bass
inquiries from distant field, "Onde''
where?
The sheep then answer in chorus,
EN- Belem de Judah Bethlehem
of Judea.
In turn all the domestic animals give
to the world the glad tidings of the
Nativity. Many child wishes it had
the courage necessary to enable him
to spend midnight outdoors and hear
this wonderful conversation of the
brute creation.

Lay in a stock of soda mint, pepsin
and salt water. Be sporty and take
chances on the plummy goody.
First it was old Santa under ban
a dreary world it would be without
Santa Claus-now it is the toothsome
Christmas pie bullying with raisins,
faky of crust and redolent of burning
brandy.
Truly the modern progressive who
lives by rule is akin to the old Puritan
to whom the Christmas pie was an
abomination savoring of heresy. In
deed the Roundhead had more excuse
for his abstinence; it was test Of or
thodoxy. He felt his morals would be
injured by eating a pie whose savOry
contents were typical Of offerings of
the Magi and whose form was often
that of q manager.
Tine Christmas pie is of ancient and
honorable lineage, and it's name of
''mince pie" came centuries later, be-
ing given in derisiOn by the Puritans.
Are we such weaklings that what our
ancestors have thrived on for centu-
ries will STAY us in one eating? Surely
the stomach specialist, that product
of mOdernity, must have slipped up.
Our grandparents did not eat one
measly little slice Of the Christmas pie
in fear and trembling. Boldly they
swallowed huge hunks, not on Christ
mas day only, but during the entire
season of Christmas, unto Twelfth
Night. Was it not writ, "As many diff
ferent houses as thou shalt eat mince
pie during Christmastide so many hap
py months shalt thou have during the
year?"
And they began the mixing Of that
Christmas pie early and with great
ceremony. 1t was gala occasion
when the plum pudding was to be
stirred and each member of the house
hold down to the infant in arms must
have turn at the spCOn.-Philadel-
nhia Press.
