pattern is cut in various sizes for dolls
ranging from IA to 80 inches in length,
the proportions Of your doll may be
quite different from the doll used In
cutting the original pattern. If the
clothes do not fit it Is not u very diff
cult matter to make alterations In the
patterns.
You never need to allow any outlay
for materials for dolls clothes, for
there are always enough pieces in your
work box, or a friends work box, to
make all sorts of dainty garments.
There are sure to be odds and ends Of
lace and insertion to use on the little
underwear and pieces of ribbon with
which the dresses can be trimmed.

To return to the real spirit of Christ
mas, as It commentaries the birth or
Christ, Margaret Il. Sangster says:
I'VE love to think OF Bethlehem,
That little mountain town,
To which on earth's first Christmas day
Our blessed Lord came down;
A lowly manger for his bed,
The cattle near in stall,
There, Graded close In Mary's arms,
He slept, the Lord Of all.
Now breaks the latest Christmas mornt
Again the angels sing,
And far and near the children throng
Their happy hymns to bring.
All heaven Is stirred! All earth is gladt
For down the shining way
The Lord who came to Bethlehem
Comes yet OF Christmas day

Christmas In America has to adjust
Itself TO a different environment from
the old world setting. The heroic strug-
giles OF our pioneer ancestors tuned the
lYre Of one Of u ballad writer's to tell
Of THE First Christmas In New Eng
land His picture Of the forbidding
New England coast presents a pitiable
contrast TO the warmth and cheer
which memories Of Christmas suggest.
"They thought they had come to their
port that day,
But not yet was their Journey done;
And they drlfted away from Provincetown
Bay
In the freless light Of the sun.
With rain and sleet were the tall masts
iced
And gloomy and chill was the air;
But they looked from the crystal sails TO
Christ,
And they came TO a harbor fair.
The white hills silent lay
For there were no ancient bells to ring
No priest TO chant, no choirs TO sing,
No chapel of baron. or lord or king,
hat gray, cold winter day"
linen the vOyagerS the
bells Of old England which were ring
ing for Christmas worship and they
forbore TO devote the day to labor.
Shall our axes swing on this day OF days
Whom the. Lord OF life was born?"
The tragedy Of the Civil wal trailed
its shadow over LOngfellow's Christ
mas verse and even his courageous
spirit faltered:
II heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
or peace on earth, good will TO men!
And thought how as the day had come,
The belfries Of all Christendom
Had rolled along,
The unbroken song
or peace on earth, good will to menl"
Then echoes Of the accursed cannon
laundering far away In the southland

Snow AMI Christmas winds seem TO
be So closely mingled with Christmas
in the minds Of EngliSh-Speaking PEG
pie that many of us are scarcely aware
that new traditions OF Christmas eli
mate are being built up in parts of our
wide country. The poet Sill, with his
exquisite art, paints for us a picture OF
"ChriStmas in California :"
Can this be Christmas-sweet as May,
With drowsy sun and dreamy air,
The new grass pointing out the way
For flowers 10 follow, everywhere2
Has time grown sleepy at his post,
And let the exiled summer back,
Sr is IT her regretful ghost
Or witchcraft OF the almanac?
! am his creature, and his air
I breathe, where'er my feet may stand;
The angels song rings everywhere.
And all the earth Is Holy Land"
Besides the religious spirit Of Christ
mas poetry, a great deal OF verse has
been written I'm honor OF st. Nicholas,
Kris Kringle or Santa Claus, as he Is
called, and the children. Perhaps one
Of the best known of these poems is
'"The Night Before Christmas" by DR..
Clement c. Moore, which begins:
Twas the night before Christmas, when
all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not ever q
mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney
with care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be
there;
The children were nestled all snug In
their beds,
aThile visions OF sugar plums danced in
their heads" etc.
