LAND BANKS AM ExrRAvAcANcE.

CHRISTMAS BAG FOR GUESTS
Container for Presents Attached to Backs of Chairs With Bow of
 Red Satin Ribbon.

THE Christmas bag is an innova-
 ! tiOn planned by one hOusekeeper. The breakfast table is to be decorated with a mirror in the center, outlined as star by holly sprigs, and with slender cut glass vase in the center holding red chrysanthemums. Long stemmed flowers also radiate from the central star with the blossoms toward the plates of those for whom the flowers are intended. Every napkin lies beneath a Christmas card with a sprig of holly tied upon it with red ribbon, and to the back of every chair is tied bag with big red satin bow The bags are of all sizes, and each is full of individual gifts. One is an opera bag, another shopping bag in black and gold, still another is brown leather and gold naiIheads, an other a bag for collars and cuffs, an- other a gay laundry bag, one is sug gestiye of the scraps grandmother will put into it, and the other of books that small girl will carry to school. All are as dainty and fine as careful workmanship and good materials can make them, and there will be fun emptying the materials out of the va rious bags.

Make Every Day a Christmas

Too prone are we all to allow our Christmas sentiments to evaporate with the day, forgetting that there are other days in tEe year for d sym pathetic hand clasp and an encourag- ing word. Ii Christmas is better than other days in the year. it is because the feeling of brotherhood and fellow. ship belongs to it.
 Why not have every other day in the year filled with brotherliness and fellowship? Why not soften the as- perities of life, speak the kindly word, and extend the helping hand for the other 364 days? In a word, why not make every day a Christmas? Carry the Christmas spirit with us through out the year and say. with Tiny Tim, at all times and seasons, God bless us, everyone"
 Let us keep Christmas in this spirit, tken, forgetting not to whom thanks for the many blessings and privileges of this great country of ours are due, looking forward to the age that Is coming:
 "When the common sense of most
 shall hold the fretful realm in awe And the kindly earth shall slumber
 lapt in universal law"

SIMPLE HOMEMADE GIFTS

Handkerchiefs, neatly hemmed and an embroidered initial adorning one corner may be made from stray rem nant of linen or lawn.
 Canvas or denim gloves for the wom- an who hangs out wet clothes are a boOn-and so easily made on the sew ing machine.
 Night slippers are a joy to children who must walk upstairs after prepar- ing for bed. Any material of downy texture is adaptable, and they are made as simply as stocking foot.
 Every country woman should have a knit. wOOlen cOrset-cover. A worn sweater, by removing the collar and lower part of the sleeves (parts, by the way, most likely to show wear) serves beautifully for this purpose
 Knowing the size of any little girls coll, it is a simple matter to make a dress, bonnet or cloak for it.
 Mittens are neatly and quickly made on the sewing machine. Use any fexi- ble woolen material.
 A child's fur set can be made from an out-ofdate fur piece, or if you have only trifie of fur use it simply for the rim of the huff and the scarf-end.

EXCUSE FOR CHASING WORK

The Russian working people have always seized upon Christmas as an excuse for ceasing all work for some- what lengthy period-sometimes for a month. Before the recent revolution "KOienda" was the celebration on Christmas eve, when the peasants gathered about the houses of the mo- bles. sang carols and scrambled for the coins tossed to them from the win dows. Then came great masquerade. when peasants of all ages dressed themselves to represent animals, the idea being to perpetuate the memory of the lOwliness of the Saviour's birth in the stable

Roses at Christmas.

The fact that we can get flowers out a sufficient justification for growing the Christmas rose, but besides that it is worth growing for itself. says Country Life in America It's large white flowers, fully two inches across, resembling those of giant single rose, although as a matter of fact it belongs to the same family as the but tercups, never fail to excite enthusi- asm in the season of snow and ice. The plant itself grows only six to eight inches high, and the large, clusters and nestle closely among the dark green leaves.

FUN IN PLAYING OLD CHRIS
in Impersonating Blustery, Present-Iaden Santa.

R&TNSH1 HERE is great fun in imper- srNY A sonation and none more than exWXLEl in taking the part of that f%lR3fsS prince of good fellows, jolly
 old Kris. Severa little < brothers, sisters or cousins should make up the audience to be amused. all of them young enough to believe implicitly in the whole story of the Journey in reindeer sleigh from the North Pole toy country to ones own particular chimney. Parents and oth- CT big folks must. of course. be in the scheme and coached to play an ac- tive part.
 You will be missed from the com pany. to be sure, and dad and mother should search the house and look up and down the street and make all sorts of excuses for your absence. And if your voice cannot be contin- ually and very successfully disguised you had better not talk, but convey your meanings by mods and motions, not forgetting to shake hands all round repeatedly and to laugh, silent ly but heartily. with much shaking of sides and bending over.
 Santa may play at being late and after he has filled the stockings he is caught by dad, who loudly notifies the household and insists that the old fel- low pay a visit and distribute the gifts. Questions are asked about the sleigh, which is supposed to have gone on without it's driver, so that the youngsters won't want to run out and look for it.
 At the end of the ceremonies, which should not last over half an hour, sudden disappearance may be ar ranged by calling the children to the window with the supposed discovery of the returning sleigh, and Santa may slip out of the room door, shed and hide lis duds and get out of the house by the back way, returning presently, with much noise, by the front way, as though having been gone for a long time and, of course, much disappointed to have missed seeing Santa.
 As for the costume, that is a mat ter of varied opportunity, except that the white whiskers and wig, the fun ny little old tassled cap and the fat stomach are essential.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Come back to Bethlehem,
 The year is on the wane; A truce to strife that wearies life.
 A truce to grief and pain. Oh, heart. return to Bethlehem
 And hear it's song again! If siren voices turing thee
 Have turned thy thoughts aside, If thou hast auaffed the bitter draft Of envy or of pride, If thou in agony of shame
 Hast thy dear Lord denied, Come back today to Bethlehem! Though thou hast wandered far No rest shall i'll thy yearning breas Until thou see the Star. Oh. heart. return to Bethlehem.
 Where yet the angels are!

Some of these celebrated 1t on the first or sixth of January, other groups observed September 29 and still another March %. As early as the fourth century. however. the period of the new year had been generally accepted as the time for celebrating Christ's birth.

 who were willing to contrib ute something toward the industrious. Later the gift came to be demanded as right and became somewhat of a nuisance. Long ago the Roman Cath ollie priests had masses for every thing and if ship went to the West Indies they had a box in her under the protection of some patron saint. into which the sailors put money or other valuables in order to secure the prayers of the church. At Christ mas these boxes were opened and were thence called Christmas boxes.
