St. Nichola. Day and Christmas.

A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette thus speculated concerning the amalga' nation of Christmas eve and St. Nicho- las eve: Perhaps the amalgamatiOn of the two festivals was brought about by motives of economy, the giving of presents on December and again on December 25 constituting too heavy toll on parental purses That this was the case appears to be proved by the custom prevailing in Catholic Germany, where St. Nicholas duly appears in each home on December 5, and, inquir- ing into the conduct of the children, rewards the worthy with fruits and cakes and lectures the unworthy on the duty of obedience. He then asks the Christ Child to bring them at Christ mas, and on the morning of that day they usually finG the desired articles in the shoes which they placed overnight on the hearth. This variation of the original Nicholas eve custom, for so long obsolete in England, probably ac- counts for our possession of Santa Claus in his present form. He is supposed to have been an importation from America about 40 years ago Gas little earlier we had derived the Christmas tree from Germany on the initiation of the prince consort, hus- band of Queen Victoria.)"

On Christina. Eve.

Oh, little babe, oh, gentle babe, That in a manager lies, A-listening to the choral sweet Which floats a-down the skies, We, through the year, who only hear The worlds harsh laundering. Listen shat we. dear babe. with thee May hear the angels sing. Oh, little babe, oh, gentle babe, Who lookest toward the star And seest when they bear their gifts, Those wise men from afar, From wandering wide hack to thy side, Weary and worn. we flee; But hearts that bleed and hands that need Are all we have for thee Oh, little babe, oh, gentle babe. Our hearts were hard and cold: The star we loved, the star of fame. The song. the song ot gold. At the managers side lis Christmas tide We listen and we long To see that star shine from afar And hear the angels song.

Working In the Name
 Of the Christ Child

c ONE thirty years ago there lived o in the city of Washington young girl, the daughter of Richard T. Merrick, a distinguished lawyer, says the Survey. A serious injury, due te an accident, had left her an invalid confined to her couch. The Christmas season was fast approaching and amid the preparations for the holidays which the happy family were busily making, this yolihg invalid, reared ir luxury, conceivad fhe desire of clothing in the name of tie sCAfrist Child some poor babe who .w3SssstG come into the world in poverty. She made a simple but complete 1ayett9. Sent. for a friend who she knew 'ttabstlfds find tAe very mother who needed such assistance and one small child was clothed in the name of the Christ Child.
 : The Christ Child, society, founded p years ago, distributed 139 layettes last year. Not one request has ever been refused to an applicant fndorsed by its visitors. And from this has developed the material relief depart. ment, which clothes and shoes chill dren, furnishes a fortnight's outing. a brace for crippled leg or book from the library. There are no religious qualifications. Active members con. tribute a definite number of hours work each week, and anyone may be. come member by promising to an- swer the Christmas letter of poor child. Washington numbers 1000 mem. bers, and there are more than 4,500 in all, including the branches in p cit. ies.
 From her couch, where she has lain for more than 25 years, Miss Mer- rick directs and leads all the soci. ety's work.

What is life without sweater? Just like home without mother-the next thing to impossible. Besides the comfort of them sweaters are con- yenient for the casual touch they lend to the toilette, and they manage to tone 1t up, or tone 1t down-depend- ing on the kind of sweater and the manner of wearing it. If one has busy day ahead and begins it by dressing for the afternoon, the sweat ercoat conceals the fact. And smart sweatercOat lends character to the plainest of morning or sports clothes.
 Those who manufacture them have turned out a variety of wonderful sweaters and sweatercoats for women and almost as interesting an assort- ment for men. Soft, knitted wool ap- pears to have outdistanced silk in the race for popularity. but silk is never- .theless well represented.
 Two new models are shown in the Illustration, one of them an example of the "slip-over" which made it's en- trance last year to the glad acclaim of sports women. It is very elastic, loosely. knitted and shaped to mold itself to the hgure. The ribbed waist

The Christmas Spirit.

However it may be, when Christmas comes it finds us all to greater or ess degree ready to cry "A merry Christmas to alp and to the best of ,ur ability keep it with good cheer. Deep down in our hearts every one of IS cherishes what may be called the Christmas sentiment. Even if we go, IS so many have done of past years, outside of the walls of our own home ye still observe our Yuletide in more IT less conventional manner. We may ,scape our relatives, save ourselves the bother of home preparations, pretend hat we have cut adrift from the old 'ashioned methods, but it all amounts Il reality to the same thing. We are minated, after all, by the same spirit, whether we are in country house, 8 lat, restaurant or hotel.

"Where are you going, my pretty maid?" has become almost foolish question. All the pretty maids who can manage 1t, are, going along with the matrons. to some winter resort. where they can wear specially de- signed clothes and be as happy as the day is long, seeing and being seen. The sunny South has other charms than its climate, for the tourist, and the fashion parade is one of them. There are some millions of US who don't go-or who stay only for brief week or so, but we are keenly inter- ested In the clothes that sojourners in the South are wearing. We know that some of the fads of the winter tourists will become the fashion of the summer girl, and-it is a great show anyway. ..'.s.}s
 Among the lovely new arrivals in smart sets that include hat and bag to match or hat antk coat or hat and scarf, there are some weather-proof pieces that herald the dawn of a new day in rainproof garments. They are as dainty and pretty as if made with ap eye to look alone, but they are made of rainproof or moisture-proof materials, as rubberized silk or imita- ton leather. Being moisture-proof is n mere incident in the sum total of their charms; being beautiful is their chief business in life and they bring sa price commensurate with their sue cess.
 One of the handsomest of the new

ulaCCHeu sets IS SnOWn neFG. It IS made of so-called patent leather, a term that describes it's appearance only. It is black and shiny but, it is also thin and pliable as silk.
 The hat is faced with chiffon taf- feta in light sand color with hint of pink in 1t, and bound with narrow black. grosgrain ribbon. A band of this ribbon is laid about the base of the crown and tied in q little bow at the front The designer might have stopped her with the assurance that she had made a satisfactory rainproof hat. But this hat is made to smile in the face of the rain and thank the weatherman for sending it. It is gay with beautifully embroidered flowers, cut out from some Chinese or Japa- nese garment and applied to the crown. They are in many soft colors done with the incomparable fineness and deftncss of those Oriental needle women.
 The bag is cut in the shape of a tall basket with handle that slips over the arm. It will carry the knit ting with which women of fashion oc- cupy themselves, and other things that have become necessities of life to her. It has an array of embroidered flowers and butterflies that will repay study, applied to one side of it.

line forms knitted-in girdle and the cuffs are ribbed, with border of plain stitches above them. Its crOwning glory appears in the sailor collar of white angOra yarn-a bit of strategy on the part of the designer that makes this garment immensely becoming.
 The handsome sweatercoat shown at the right is more ample and much more loosely adjusted to the figure. It is an especially good model for slim figures because of the plaited skirt portion and the shape of the collar which widens the shoulders. The turn back cuffs and girdle are knitted with ,narrow rib, but the collar is fash toned by knitting like that in the coat. Quite number of the latest sweaters contribute this style feature of dissimi- lar collars and cuffs, as departure from the regular order of things.
 Colors bright and gay continue to be the privilege of sweaters and sweater coats. The coat pictured is in a gray ish blue and is fastened at the front with large white buttons.

NON-COM OFFICERS
SCHOOL AT Y. M. c. A.

At a meeting held last night at the
Y. NJ. G. A. preliminary to the move
ment organised to give military drill
to those me between the ages of 81
and 81 in the city subject to draft and
who registered on the 5th. 1t was de-
mtssioned offcers next Monday night.
1t Is expected that some thirty men
who have had military experience or
some drill will be on hand to begin
work and II 1t is possible to. get more,
those in charge will welcome the ad-
dition.
DR.. q. A. Abbott Of the chemistry
department Of the University Of
North Dakota. who was a cadet major
in his university: j. H. schlenvost,
instructor in agriculture at the high
school and who received military
training at the University Of wiscon-
sin, and G. D. Lockin, Jr., formerly a
sergeant in the National Guard, will
ton to these men Gen. I. A. Berg. re-
tired, and Capt. M. M. Merrill, : u.
8. A., retired, will act in an advisory
capacity. Both Of these men would
be willing to take an active part II
their business permitted, and it is
probable that General Berg will later.
No assignment Of Officers will be
made until after the first drill OF the
registered men, as 1t will be impossi-
BILE to tell how many men will take
advantage Of the opportunity to Al
themselves for military service.
The school for non-commissioned
officers will take no more time than IL
absolutely necessary as It is planned
to get the men out as soon as possi-
BILE. As 1t now looks but one drill
will be held a week for the reason
that it is believed more men will
make an effort to attend each meet
ing where there is only one than II
were held. The school for non
commissioned officers will be held al
least twice q week and maybe three.
AS plans were laid last night the
organization will be strictly a military
one. with all military rules and regu-
lations carried out. j.
