USE OF CHRISTMAS STOCKING
Good 81. Nicholas, Saint Of Fourth
Century Of Christian Era,
Founder Of Custom.

SGI~ IiI,ISTMAS stockings have
srSNJN come down TO us from the
GXLG good st, Nicholas. who was
yXH9y.3 a saint Of the fourth CEN
tury Of the Christian era
and was born December 6, 342, In
Lycln. Asia Minor. He was regarded
as especially the patron saint OF chill
dren, young girls and sailors. The
Cbrlstrias stocking custom arose as
follows:
IT seems that st. Nicholas. who was
the archbishop Of Myrn, lived In the
same town with an impoverished no
blcinan who because he had no por-
tl0ns to give his daughters, and indeed
no means with which to support them,
was about to sell them into life of
sin. st. Nicholas, who was accus-
toned to dispense his large fortune in
gifts Of charity, resolved to rescue the
young women. AS he approached
their house wondering how he should
proceed, the moon shone out and dis
played an open window. Instantly st.
Nicholas threw purse of gold In at
the window which, falling at the feet
of the father Of the girls, enabled him
to portion Lis oldest daughter. The
second time st. Nicholas visited the
house he also was able to throw n
purse Of gold through an open window,
thus providing for the portion Of the
second daughter. On the third visit
the father, watching for his benefac-
tor, cast himself ut the feet of the
saint and cried:
"Oh, st. Nicholas. servant of God.
why seek to hide thyselfT"
The saint made the father promise
not to reveal his benefactions. From
this habit of bestowing gifts I'm secret
and under the cloak of night arose the
practice Of putting out shoes or stock
ings for the younger members of the
family, so that the good saint would
be able to fill them without being spied
on. At one time 1t was the custom
for young women pupils in converts
on the even of Saint Nicholas to hang
their new silk stockings on the door
Of the apartment Of the abbess. They
would also write notes calling the
attention of the good ST. Nicholas
to their stockings. In the morning
when the convent pupils who had not
gone home for the holidays arose they
Invariably found their stockings filled
with sweetmeats.

CHRISTMAS WEEK IN ENGLAND
Timo When Scattered Families Are
United and Tender Memories
Are Revived.

MANY and great are the changes
4v1 which have occurred In England
since Dickens wrote "a Christmas
Carol" but they have not affected the
national love for the festival and the
determination to preserve unimpaired
the traditional warmth and heartiness
of Its celebration. Christmas week Is
still the great week of the year for
the English people. 1t Is the one week
when scattered families are reunited,
when tender memories and old assO-
Citations are revived, when friend greets
friend with CHEEKY expanslveness in
striking contrast with the character
istic reserve of the English nature,
so, undemOnstrative to those who do
not know It well, apparently so dis
tant and unsympathetic.
From Wednesday all business will
be suspended. not to be resumed till
Monday morning. The whole nation
will give itself up to good cheer and
good fellowship, and for brief season,
all strife and controversy are hushed,
and peace, charity and concord reign
supreme.

BE SURE GIFTS WILL PLEASE
In Making Same Articles for Friends
It Is Well to Be Sure Of
Appreciation.

,Jf0H WOMAN tells in recently
|sS\S&h4G published magazines how
sNdEs she has "pillow Christ
lzEh mas" for the benefit Of her
many friends. She con-
suited the piece bag, and from 1t drew
forth the materials for making any
quantity Of dainty sofa pillows. all des-
tined for different friends. The cost
of the materials was chiefly that spent
for silk cords, for embroidery silk and
for filling for the completed pillows.
Nearly all the pillows were made by
COUGHING figures cut from contrasting
materials on a chosen background,
and the result was completed. The
very same idea might also be carried
into effect by the girl who loves to
make dainty stocks. There never was
n time when the prevailing styles Of
fered such dainty array of collars,
and box of assorted colors and kinds
would be welcomed by any girl friend.
There might be found in the piece
bag all sorts of bits of silk and rib
bon which could be fashioned into the
daintiest of dressy stocks, as well as
bits Of lawn and percale which would
do nicely for stocks for every day
wear with cotton shirt waists. The
gift of box of stocks might be made
valuable If the box itself was thing
Of beauty, and this could be brought
to pass by the girl who is expert with
her needle. Giving the same sort of
gift to large number Of people is
perfectly proper If the gift is one which
s calculated to please everybody.
We've heard the story Of nice old
lady who always made pln-cushions
for all her nieces and mittens for all
her nephews every year. 1t was said
that her plan gave great pleasure to
one person, the aunt. It's good idea

ated before you 60 into the wholesale
