FUN IN PLAYING OLD CHRIS
Amusement for Both Young and Old
In Impersonating Blustery,
Present.Laden Santa.

SNl~lHERE is great fun In imper-
S$1 sonation and none more than
STiWG in taking the part Of that
SSI1t% prince of good fellows, jolly
old Kris. Several 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 9TH
er 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 mothe"
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 filed 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 its driver, so that the
youngsters won't want to run out and
look for Ii.
At the end of the ceremonies, which
should not last over half an hour, a
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 his 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 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.

ART AND SCIENCE IN TOYS
Playthinos for the Riddles Necessary
to the Proper Conduct Of
Their Society.

WHILE the making Of toys is an
w art that is probably practically
as old as the world itself, II has been
only within recent years that science
has bothered itself about them. Less
than half century ago they were re-
garded merely as playthings-amus-
ing diversions for children that were
by no means necessary to their we'll
being. Today. however, science insists
that there Is well-defned philosophy
underlying the use Of toys; that they
are the tools with which the little ones
ply their trade; the paraphernalia nee
essary to the proper conduct of their
society; that dolls, for example. are
rpore to them than the associates that
help to entertain them in that they
aid them in the attainment of their
mental growth by stimulating the
natural emotions which must be ex-
perienced in later life.
Whether this theory of the scientists
is correct or not, the fact remains that
children have always had the play
things requisite for their limitations Of
the domestic life and business affairs
Of older people; that they have always
required their elders to provide them
with such inventions, and that. when
they could not obtain these toys ny
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made to suit their purposes. Even
the SomnOlent middle Ages did not nut
an end to their pastimes. The toys in
which they found diversion may have
been more simple, but. as they met
the demands Of nature, they played
their allotted part in the scheme Of
human development.-Public Opinion.

RrIna Smiles of GIadness.

It is not so much the thought of re-
ceiving the customary holiday gifts
which most pleases the fancy, but
rather that pleasure the heart derives
from dwelling upon joyful surprises
It may bestow upon others. To bring
a smile of gladness upon another's
face is, indeed. a boon more precious
than a Christmas gift, and the JOY
of bestowing can never be equaled by
the receiving.

Ancient Christmas Custom.

Many quaint customs are observed
M Christmas time in various English
country parishes. In that of Cumnor'
I'm Berkshire, of which the living Is
vicarage and the church beautiful
specimen Of an old English parochiai
edifice, all who pay tithes repair, af-
ter evening service on Christmas day,
to the vicarage where the vicar Is
held In duty bound, by a usage CEN
turtles old, to regale them with four
bushels of malt brewed into ale or
beer. two bushels of wheat baked into
bread, and half a hundred weight of
cheese. Any remnants of this feast
are distributed among the poor OF the
parish after morning prayer the next
day.

MAKE OUT GIFT LIST EARLY
Thoughtful Shoppers Start Task Sew
eraI Weeks Before Rush Begins
In Busy Stores.

SN1W HE buyer who really puts
sXNq u some altruism into her
SfNL6 Christmas gifts makes out
EHW:S her list several weeks In ad-
vance. II she be a canny
somebody she has kept her list of the
year before and Is able to see what
were her gifts the preceding season, and
thus avoid the risk Of repeating her
self. Still more canny is she If she
has made mental or written notes from
time to time Of various articles for
which she has heard a desire expressed
by friends. Such note taking will
greatly lessen her labors.
For II is no light thing to choose
Christmas gifts judiciously. The
whole secret Of their acceptability lies
In their appropriateness. Not only
must they be appropriate to the per-
son from whom they come and to whom
they go, but to the circumstances in
which the latter is placed. For an in
stance, there are few housekeepers
who do not welcome an addition of
fine linen to their store. But IL to
housekeper who lives plainly in sim
pie surroundings one sends a superb
lace-trimmed tea cloth or doilies that
throw all her other possessions into
the shade, there is an unsuitabllity
about the gift that robs 1t of much Of
its charm.-Harper's Bazaar.

Traditions Of Christmas Festival.

In the records of every nation we
fnd traditions of the Christmas festi-
val, traditions which have been hand
ed down from generation to genera
ton In oft-told tales which thrilled
the hearts of the listeners with al
ternate fear and delight. Sir Walter
Scott tells us that they who are born
upon Christmas or Good Friday will
see spirits, and will have the power
of commanding them. He also adds
that the Spaniards imputed the down
cast looks of their monarch. Philip
II, to the disagreeable visions to which
this privilege subjected him.

 Upholds Presidents Actions
 SAN FRANCISCO. June 22-"No man will get anywhere by subjecting the president to either open attack or sneering reference" said F. H. Moore manager of the campaign of Governor Cox of Ohio for the Democratic presi- aential nomination. in a statement to- day replying to the charge made by William F. McCombs of New York that the president has been auto cratic" in assumption of authority.
 MT. Moore's statement follows:
 My attention has been called to q statement made by MT. McCoombs at lacking the league of nations and incl dentally the president
 MT. McCombs. who is my friend and for whose ability I have always had a high regard. has fallen into the error of many men who have the fatal gift of sarcasm and who cannot resist the temptation to say things which do irreparable damage to the cause they represent.
 The surest method of having the Democratic platform make the league of nations the leading issue is for it's enemies to attack the president. Pres ident Wilson has not only the admira- tion of the Democratic party but its
