mas tree, writes correspondent. To
make them brilliant many pretty little
ornaments are needed and they cost a
good deal. My plan is for a barrel
in place of a tree. l have the barrel
now in a closet. It Is covered with old
dark green cambria and the day before
the great holiday I am going to pin
sprigs of evergreen and holly over it.
It will look pretty gay, think, when
It is filled with the gifts that are 60
ing into it now, all prettily tissued
and tied, and my son as jolly Old
Santa Claus stands over it to delve in
to its mysteries and to proclaim the
names of those who are to solve them.
I am sure We will enjoy our barrel ~

TOY TREE TABLE DECORATION
Miniature Christmas Emblem Nav Be
Surrounded With Presents Tied
With Red Ribbon.

KIM ECORATE the "a. L. with a
.ENqD Christmas tree, one OF the
SNNLa toy ones, and pile around its
E&S1}.T foot a quantity of presents
tied with red ribbons.
Ihese should be only what a college
man would call "Srinds'-perhaps a
tiny tin piano for would-be perform
er, lantern for the one the points of
whose jokes are difficult to see. a
placid paper golf bag for the enthusi-
aStlc player, and so on, each with
rhyme or quotation, says Harpers
Bazaar. If one considers a goose a
somewhat undignified bird. ducks may
ne exchanged for it, either the aomeS-
Tic FOWL or the more expensive canvas
hack IT rodhead. Fried celery is very
good with duck, the crispcst pieces
dropped in batter ana then cooked in
deep fat, But the apple sauce GRO
qu"tteS should not be omitted even
with this. For this informal dinner
.."ra Is Very good and tnnocuous
drink To serve with the heavy courss-
+"cet cider, sptre4 and sucared to
taste, cooked ten minutes and served
hot.

MAKE OUT GIFT LIST EARLY
ihoughtfuI Shoppers Start Task Sew
eral Weeks Before Rush Begins
in Busy Stores.

SLt$YN He buyer who really puts
s&sM y some altruism into her
S%XA6 Christmas gifts makes out
E&Ef.Y 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 II 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 1t 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
VINO do not welcome an addition of
line linen to their store. But if 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, therst is an rnsuitability
about the gift Maf robs il of much Of
Its charm.-Harper's Baz3r.

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

VA HlLE the making of toys Is an
W art that is probably practically
as Old as the world itself, it has been
only within recent years that science
haS bothered itself about them. Less
IAN half century ago they were re-
Earded merely as playthings-amus-
rs diversions for children that We're
oy 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
l1ore to them than the associates thar
help to entertain them in that they
aid them in the attainment of Their
mental growth by stimulating gAe
natural emotions which must he *
perienced in later life.
Whether this theory of the scientists
is correct or not, the fact remains that
children have always had The n'ar
things requisite for Their limitations nt
the domestic life and business affairs
Of older people; that they have alv .-
required their elders to provide rhc-
with such inventions. and that, wher
they could not obtain these toys hy
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made to suit their purposes. Ever
the somnolent middle Ages did not uut
an end to their pastimea The toys Fl
which they found diversion mag ta.,
been more simple. but as tho .-
the demands Of nature. they played
their allotted part in the scheme Of
human development.-Puhlic Opinion

OuIJa SappIanted PIanchette.

The pianchette was thin, heart.
shaped piece Of WOOD supported Oh
two casters at the end of the base ana
nc an ordinary pencil at the apex
popular about 1860 to 1880, before the
oui5h board supplanted 1t. The pei.
eli could readily be made to trace
characters without conscious move
ment on the part of the operator, If
the f1ngertips were placed upon this
device.
Like the ouija board, the planchette
was used by two classes Of persons.
1t was used by the believers In spirit
ualism. who asked questions Of spir-
ltual control, and believed that they
received answers from the intelli-
gences on the spirit plane. and by
people who regarded the mechanism
as n game, and amused themselves by
pushing 1t to write messages for the
aenafit Of others present.

A PERSON unfamiliar with dream
n lore might wake up after dream
ing of shroud with a feeling that he
had seen an evil omen and be, con-
sequmtly, depressed in spirits. He
would be quite wrong. A shroud may
not be altogether pleasant thing to
see In ones dreams, but 1t Is accounted
by nearly all the soOthsayers to be a
favorable omen to dream Of that grue-
some obi ct. For one thing such a
dream signifies that you are to inherit
some mouey. 1t is true, though, say
the wise ones, that seeing a shroud IN
a dream is warning to the dreamer
to take better care of his health or he
will have fit of illness which Will In
terfere with his business. But 1t Is
merely tendency to illness which Is
predicted and not illness itself. ii
YOU are careful of your health your
business will prosper and your fortune
increase.
II you dream that you see shrouo
removed from dead person you might
wake up with alright at the ghastly
sight. But really there would be nc
evil omen In the dream which woulc
call for any worrying. The worst thai
1t could mean would be that you are
going to have some little strife ant

WHEN NELLIE's ON THE JOB.
By EDGAR A. GUEST

The bright spots in my life are when
the servant quits the place,
Although that grim disturbance brings
a frown on Nellie's face;
The week between the old girls reign
and entry Of the new
Is one that's filled with happiness and
comfort through and through.
The charm of living's back again-a
charm that servants rob
I like the home, like the meals, when
Nellie's on the job.
There's something in servants ways,
however fine they be,
That has a cold and distant touch and
frets the soul Of me.
The old home never looks so well, as
in that week or two
That we are servantless and Nell has
all the work to do.
There Is n sense of comfort then that
makes lily DulSto thiob
And home is as 1t ought to be when
Nellle's on the job.
Think not that I'd deny her help or
grudge the servants pay,
When one departs we try to get an
other right away.
| merely state the simple fact that nc
such joys I've known
As in those few brief days at home
when we've been left alone.
There is a gentleness that seems &c
soothe this selfish elf
And oh, like to eat those meals thai
Nellie gets herself!
lou cannot buy the gentle touch thai
mother gives the place,
No servant girl can do the work witt
Just the proper grace.
And though you hired the queen O.
cooks to fashion your croquette'
Her meals would not compare witt
2 those your loving comrade gets

sleeping porches by their owners aId
put where the mild evening zephyr
and the stray lightning bug can roam
over their surface.
Nine times out Of ten the sleeping
porch is an afterthought. 1t Is one of
the most high-priced thoughts man
can have, If he Is going to keep up
with some neighbor who started his
sleeping porch Immediately after the
cister1 was dug. 1t costs more to tie a
IL by IS sleeping porch to the second
story of an old house than 1t does to
build a bungalow from the ground up,
including a hot-air furnace and open

Brain Youth
~ GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

<xOMEONE has given to us the strik-
- ing sentence "To the young, Ma
nre does nothing but give; from the
old she does nothing but take away"
Your brain is the only Power In your
entire body that may not age.
Keep Youth alive in Your Brain.
To your Brain your viii may say:
life at its longest Is but like the
looking back and reviewing OF SIN
Gle day." For Youth never returns to
your muscles and to your bones and
to your arteries-but Youth trots
along with your Brain-if your VIII
says so.
Keen Youth alive in Your Brain.
william e. Gladstone, past eighty,
choppIng down trees, translating the
Classics anew, tramping the fields
and solving mysteries-stands out as
one Of the most striking examples OF
those who kept their Brains young as
their bodies grew old.
Keep Youth alive in Your Brain.
II IA Interest that puts Youth into
your Brain and drives away age. just
80 long as you are Interested in the
things you are doing, just SO long

ing your loyalty and enthusiasm and
every ounce Of your effort.
Keep Youth alive in Your Brain.
