Christmas Thoughts
N. G. ROBBINs.

Did YOU ever sit az Christmas?
Right beside the yule-l0g's glow.
Thinking Of the blessed Christ-child,
As the moments come and go?
Oh. we all should sure remember,
Twas the day that gave Him birth
Twas the day the angels whispered
Peace-good will to all on earth.
He was born in Bethlehem's manger,
Came TO save US one and all.
And the blessed mother clasped Him,
To her bosom in the STALL
Oh. it was a lowly birthplace
But above a star did shine.
And 10 told unto the wise men
Where TO find the Babe divine.
Did you ever just imagine
You could hear the angels sing,
Or could feel the air Of Heaven
As they pass you on the wing.
There's no place Ike the old flreside,
Or the yule-logs genial glow.
That can place you right in dreamland
Make. your thoughts so freely flow.
So let's dedicate this Christmas.
And our thoughts beside the hearth
To the Babe born in the manger
To the gentle Christ-childs birth.
Il was cold that Christmas morning,
But the shepherds on the plain
sang a. song OF glorious welcome,
To the Babe Of Bethlehem.
Listen now and hear them singing,
Songs Of peace upon that plain,
so let US this blessed Christmas,
Join them in the holy strain
For TO us peace has been given.
Spread its wings from shore 10 shore
So when next we have the yule-lOg,
All our war-cry will be o'er.

1t always takes exceptions to prove
the rule and to keep certain accepted
styles from becoming monotonous. The
handsome dinner gown which presents
it's brilliant accomplishment in black
and white with such assurance here is
an exception to the straight-line silhou-
cite. 1t belongs to small and eXclu-
sive company of exceptions to this fea-
ture Of the styles for fall, for the
straight-line figure grows more popular
all the time and is destined to dOmi-
nate in the styles of the coming sea-
son.
Allover lace and black satin join
forces In the tunic skirt and bodice.
There is an underskirt of white satin
bordered with black. The tunic is set
onto body Of black satin that forms
a short yoke extending few inches
below the waistline, and has a border
of black satin about its lower edge
The lace bodice is very simply draped
over its satin foundation and the
sleeves are of lace-rather full above
the elbow and shaped to the arm be-

low. They extend little way over
the hand and are finished with a mar
row binding of satin. A bit of white
georgette suggests an underbodice Of
this lovely fabric where it shows
through the lace at the shoulders and
above the satin at the square neck.
If this gown started out with dec
laration of independence as to its out
lines, it makes amends by making the
most of the vogue for long silk tassels.
There is very long girdle of the satin
that is wrapped about the waist,
crossed at the back and looped over
at the left side. The ends, finished
with long. handsome silk tassels, fall
to the bottom of the tunic and little
below the bottom of the skirt.
This gown is becoming to almost any
type of figure. 1t is dignified and
quiet but it is also brilliant. In the
picture a big black satin poppy adds
it's fine silken sheen to the finish OF
an exquisite frock. It is in black also
but might be in some brilliant color Il
occasion seemed to demand it.
