HINTS FOR RELATED GIFTS
Bags and Aprons Are Easily and Quickly Made and They Are AL
 ways Acceptable.

For many weeks before Christmas the household is busy with needle, crochet hook and tatting shuttle. fash ioning Christmas gifts for family and friends. But, there always are some belated gifts, that must be made dur ing the last few days, for friends that We would like to remember.
 In such cases there is nothing more quickly or easily made than bags and aprons, and one never can have too many of either. Laundry bags, stock Ing bags, alarming bags, piece bags and bags for soiled handkerchlefs can be made of chintz or cretonne, and fancy work bags, purse bags, and handker- chief bags may be made of silk and ribbon. Several of these bags can cas- fly be made in an evening, and they are always acceptable gifts.
 And aprons-no woman ever had too many aprons. A few yards of ging- ham, percale and butchers linen made up Into aprons, which would not re- quire more than day to make good supply would go long ways as gifts to busy house mothers. And caps, also. At this time almost every woman wears some sort of cap when doing her house work, and neat, washable cap makes an acceptable gift, and re- quireS little skill in the making. And so with these practical and quickly made gifts one may be able to catch up with Christmas remembrances, even though belated until the last few days before Christmas.

 "Oh, Mir. Benchley, you're all right" began Beth, hastily, but he put his hand up warningly.
 Don't shock me or alarm me, and don't be arguing wi me, neither, for my hearts no too strong at that. I've talked this out wi Alan before you come at all. an he's beginning to see iicht already. I've been watching both of you this long while and I'm sick O the lalligagging and waiting. You can go quietly over the river to Jersey and be married right away, and I'll pay the bill. Get ready, lass"
 Alans eyes begged her to be yield ing, but 1t was the old set face lying back on the pillows that moved her to act as he wished, and she slipped up to her own room without a word to any one.
 When they came back 1t was the din ner hour, two o'clock on holidays, and as they came down stairs together Beth heard voice In the dining room, resounding, hearty, strong voice, Mir. Benchley speaking.

Passing Christmas
 EUe Outdoors

W. alnl, all slept underline under the stars as
 shut oneself up in a room from the delicious South African night is simply to miss one of the joys of liv- ing. NO one knows the stars who has not slept, as the French happily put, 1t, la belle etoile. He may know all their names and distances and mag nitudes and yet be ignorant of what alone concerns mankind-their serene and gladsOme influence on the mind" Stevenson surely would have loved Rhodesia for its nights alone.
 One great advantage of the long drought from which we had been suf- fering-in Rhodesia one must needs be an optfmist or die-is that there were practically no mosquitoes and very few flies, so that the stiffness of mos- quito curtain was unnecessary.
 The night was cool and silent, ex- cept for the distant howl of jackal and the occasional hoot of an owl. About five o'clock the life of day began to stir, and the sun gradually turned the mopani and mimosa trees to u golden green and bathed us in the scent of mimosa blossom, the go away bird called impertinently from a bush close by, and two green parrakeets flew over our heads.
 Then one little sleeper after another rubbed his eyes and crept to the foot of the be9 to fathom the treasures of the Christmas stocking. As the sun rose higher tongues were loosened, and soon crackers cracked, and trumpets, six of them, were heralding the morn, 1. if not exactly in the manner of the an- l gels. The noise worried no one. But when We had had enough We dispersed to seek baths, and some ef Us were even energetic enough to have round of l golf before breakfast@"Th Heart of the Weld, by Madeline Alston.

 Its only an attack of acute indiges- tion,' he told her. Hell be all right I'm good doctor" He smiled down at her, and Mir. Benchley groaned and turned over to see who had come in.

 He was grave of face, but there was twinkle In his eye. Alan raised him up and placed couple of pillows be- hind him for support.
 "Now, you're gay enough. sir" he said.
 Benchley looked from one face to the other, one on each side of his bed, and his eyes glowed from under their thatch of heavy gray brows.

BEST CHRISTMAS GLF7

"A fountain pen" answered an en- thusiastic young philosopher to the question, What was your best Christ mas gift?'
 .'I had il hundred-dollar watch given 70 me once." he added, but even that isn't as necessary as fountain pen f. you get the right kind you simply wouldn't be caught dead without It. lt never leaks. It never clogs. It'll vrite q clear, steady line on any cid ,.. aer. It'd be cheap at S10, and | .atr cost S2.50."

Mot Our Business"

A story Is told of little girl who in her evening prayer told of child she had seen in the street that day "He was ragged and I guess he was cold" prayed the little worshiper. "but that isn't any of our business. is itT That Is the attitude of some people at Christmas time. They do not seem to realize that 1t is their business to look out for any outside their own happy little circle, and such miss the best of the day of days.-Girl's Companion.

"I had to use subterfuge wi them," be was saying. "They're both obstin- ate, but so am I, and I've married them off safe and sound by making 1t my dying request. An when you see them coming in you're to gi' them a cheer-'
 He stopped short. Beth came first, blushing and wide-eyed, with a sprig of mistletoe on her breast and anoth- CT in her fair hair. And the old fel- low waited breathlessly till she came near. Bending over her, he kissed her on her cheek.
 And may God bless you both the day" he finished.

And To, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shown around about them and they were sore afraid.
 And the angels said unto them, ''Fear not, for, behold, l bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
 For unto you is born this day in the city of David, the Savior, which is Christ, the Lord
 And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manager"
 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."-St. Luke ? :8-14.
