A fancy basket in the form of a wheelbarrow or chariot will answer the purpose for his sleigh, and should be loaded with presents of all kinds. The reindeer, which can be filled with sweets, may be harnessed to the sleigh with scarlet ribbons on which have been sewn a number of tiny bells.
 At intervals down the table place boxes of bonbons in the form of Yule logs. with garlands of berried holly and mistletoe arranged from log to
 
 log, the menus to be in banner form. each one being held by a miniature Father Christmas.
 A Cinderella scheme for the supper table is pretty. For the center pur- chase from your florist the wire frame of a coach.

DECEMBER 5, ST. NIcK's DAY
Children of Holland and France Look for Santa Claus Visit Early In
 the Month.

A~v1N THE strict order of things SM U children should have hung SEINS up their stockings for Santa SNINA Claus on Dec 5, and re- joiced in his gifts. For 1t was the feast of St. Nicholas. alias Santa Claus. He has nothing what ever to do with Christmas and his visit then is an Anglo-Saxon anach- ronism, which came from America fifty years ago. As their patron saint. children were taught to look to Nich- olas for care and protection. To show the reality of his love for boys and girls, parents related that on his eve he went up and down the earth re- warding the good with presents, as he had in his life secretly thrown purses of gold into the rooms of poor maid ems through the window. Children were taught to hang up their stock fngs which parents acting as the saints deputies filled with sweets, apples, nuts and toys. In England the custom was abolished with the wOr- ship of saints at the Reformation, and was re-established In the Ameri can guise of Father Christmas in the middle of last century.
 But in Holland Santa Claus makes his visit on the right day, Dec. ,. h. stead of stockings. the Dutch children place their shoes. with straw in them for the donkey on which Nicholas rides, in front of the fireplace In the morning good children find pres ents there, but the shoes of the naughty contain only a birch. The custom is the same in France In southern Austria, young man, ar rayed as St. Nicholas, in episcopal robes, visits each house and examines the children in their catechism. To those who answer we'll the saints at- tendant angels give fruit and sweets while demons are admitted to terror ize the careless. On going to bed the children place baskets or dishes on the window sill for his future gifts Catholic Germany furnishes the transi- tion between the origin of Nicholas and modern Santa Claus. Arrayed as and questions the children as to their past conduct. For the good there are cakes and fruit, and for all a lecture He then asks what presents they would like the Christ-child to bring at Christmas.-London Daily Chronicle.

Our commerciaIized Christmas.

Christmas is the decoration day of commercial age. Then, as on no other day. we face with compassion those who have fallen in our battles for wealth. For moment we think of the thousands of children who have no share in that easy life we give our children. and must find the seasons joy in the charity dinner. Along with the barter to which we have debased our giving within our circle of ac quaintances, we play at extending the spirit of the day to those who are the pawns of our industrial game. The Salvation army lass. standing cold and numb on the street corner, collecting funds for Christmas baskets for the poor. reminds us of the wreckage left in the wake of our prosperity. We give a trifle to help the poor temper the bitterness of the year with a couple of hours good eating.
