THE GOOD HOUSEWIFE

Employing all the shining hours
Instrre domestic art,
And using all her given powers
To do her chosen part.
She sweeps and dusts and cooks and
bakes,
Without a minutes waste,
Achieving all that living makes,
Just to her dear ones taste.
In habits and in person neat;
In disposition kind,
Her voice soft, tender, low and sweet,
Bespeaks a balanced mind.
Her children, bright, polite and clean,
And trained in wisdom's ways,
Are sure to loathe what's false and
In all their mortal days.
And she creates the air of home,
The heartstone's blessed light;
And wheresoe'er her loved ones roam
Her counsels guide them right.
IT'S heavenlike where she abides,
The faithful. true housewife;
And when she pilots, safely glides
Along the bark Of life.

AT CHRISTMAS TIME.

II may be for a Christmas party. or
for the family gathering. that you will
need ideas; for either. the following
games will furnish fun for young and
old alike.
The Game Of Tip.

use of enough assorted Christmas can
dies, nuts, ~raisins, and other dainties,
to make a small pile upon a table I:
also a pair Of sugar tongs. One Of the
party is chosen. who must retire to an
other Don while the remaining play
ers decide upon n of the dainties
in the pile to be known as Tip" The
chosen person Is then recalled. and
with the tongs removes pieces from
the pile. trying to Sold the piece
named Tip. of which,, however. he does
not know the location. All pieces
removed belong to him. unless he re-
Tip, when all must be returned
to the pile. and the turn passes to the
next player, who retires to the other

Although there has been n certain
amount of reaction, in the direction
OF simplicity in fur garments, the mode
finds place for much that may not be
classed as simple. For last winter de-
signers WED with one another in max
ing small wraps that embodied several
different styles in one garment-capes,
coatees and scarfs were all suggested
in a single hybrid. The designers
were endlessly ingenious and the cley-
erness of these smaller garments gave
them n charm that made a very sue
cessful appeal. So much 50 that the
same idea has reappeared this season
in fur wraps and there is n hint Of It
in the wide scaTfs Of brushed or an
cora wool that are furnished with
belts to match.

are most like a scarf. prove 10 he the

The story Of winter wraps has
reached its climax. as it always does,
with the arrival of the opera season.
1t begins early In the fall with a re-
cital Of the affairs of the stalwart
coats that must bear the brunt of real
service throughout the winter. and
progresses through many an engross-
Ing chapter dealing with more preten-
tious garments. Finally comes the
resume of the brief and splendid
careers of evening wraps. some of
them wholly frivolous. But each sea
son witnesses certain coats that are as
rich and as useful as any they are
the best efforts of the &C. turiers. and
include the Incompatible coats of fine
furs.
In the same class with these, so far
ms beauty is concerned, are the two
impressive wraps that he Gamers has
reported with such fidelity, shown
above. They are made of the hand
soonest fur fabrics and completed with
collars Of natural fur of the best
grades. Each is worthy of the other.

avoid the possibility of losing them
through drawing Tip. The game
continues until the pile disappears.
A FilI-in Game.
For a laughter producer this game
has no peer. A poem is selected and
copied upon paper, with each noun
omitted and a line drawn in its place.
Then the Il are copied upon small
cards, n upon each. The cards are
dealt, an equal number to each player.
and a player is chosen as reader. The
reader reads the poem, pausing at
each space, and the players I'LL in. in
turn, a noun from the cards In their
pile. The nouns will seldom come In
their original places, and the result
will be a ridiculous mix-up.
Sliced Toy Puzzles.

toys. and paste these upon pieces of
cardboard; then with a sharp knife
slice the cardboard into irregular
pieces as Indicated in Fig. /. Place
the parts of each picture In an en-

cour:ge-the determined. daily, DELHI

selves with their own unworthiness

wonder and grace that ire in Jesus
Christ. You a trace a Christians
growth more by what he thinks of him
self. We get nearer Christ by letting
him love us than by any other way.
Some earnest lives are still but little
accustomed TO this discipline. We may
think ourselves over analyze ourselves
forever. and the time will never come
when that process will be complete.

them to permit the vesesl to proceed

sailors have been known to pour oat-
