Good Year for VioIets.

Sweet peas have been forced for the
Christmas market only for many years
past. They must be started blooming
before the cold weather begins. Then
they will bloom all winter Daffodils
do not get in until February, but al
most all the rest of the spring flowers,
hyacinths, narcissuses, bavardia, and
so on, are on the Christmas counters.
Easter lilies, too. though rather cold
and white for Christmas, are sold. vi
Diets. are fine this winter, deeply,
darkly. beautifully blue. Some mi
gnonette now comes in enormous
sprays. There are carnations but the
bright red Christmas carnation is the
favorite Holly comes from the hills
of Maryland and the south. The wild
holly supplies the market and there
has never seemed to be any percepti-
BILE diminution of the supply. Great
quantities of it are purchased by all
sorts of dealers, who decorate their
stores with it and send out sprig at
tached to every Christmas parcel.

The kings, with all their Caravan,

While Jesus sleeps on Marys breast
and all the guns are still!
The plunder Of the UorId is heaped
about that manger-bed, =
Behold! the gifts the Wise Men
brought are stained an awful
Poor Mary's face is white and
dram, and Joseph,s grim and
For older hearts, tho slow to learn,
are sgower to forget!
But 10, the Star at Bethlehem above
the Stable door
Shines uith q glory IN its light that
neUer shone before!
The h0ggard hosts of shattered men
ont on the battle plain
Have caught the slogan of the skies,
and fling 1t back again.
"Peace-Peoce on Earth" with
shaken hearts, across the World
they come,
No pamoply Of mar is theirs, no flag,
no rolling drttm;
But all are cIoahed IN spoHess
mhite-the garment of Has
And "Pe0ce' their bursting Threats
now sing, and "Peace' the

By every road the Wise Men come

Keep match upon the hill,
While Jesus sleeps on Mmy,s

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

TIME Christmas bag is an innova
L. ton planned by one hOusckeeper.
The breakfast table is to be decorated
with a mirror in the center, outlined
as a star by holly sprigs, and with a
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 Christmas card with a
sprig of holly tied upon it with red
ribbon, and to the back of every chair
is tied a 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 nailheads. an
other a bag for collars and cuffs, an
other a gay laundry bag, one is sug
gestive of the scraps grandmother will
put into it, and the other Of books
that a 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.

1t 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

than a Christmas gift, and the JOY
of bestowing can never be equaled by
the receiving.
