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

TIME Christmas bag is an inn0va-
i ton planned by one housekeeper.
The breakfast table is to be decorated
with a mirror in the center, outlined
as 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
towers are intended. Every napkin
lies beneath a Christm IS card with
sprig of holly tied upon 1t with red
s.ibbon, and to the back of every chair
is tied 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 1t, 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.

up as you suggested. The wardrobe
has a Santa Claus outfit so you're all
right"
"Good!' nodded Evans briskly. "T'll
have to start for Weston early, but
people will suppose am giving them
an advance advertising stunt. Some
class to my scheme, eh?"
"You are always original" comment
ed the old circus man.
One of the favorite stunts of Ross
Evans had been to make his Advance
route with the high single-seated
buggy and a pair Of the circus rein
deers. He was proud of his team.
It was 2O-mile drive to Weston.
Late In the afternoon, arrayed In
Santa Claus costume, Evans started on
his trip. Mrs. Dalrymple had the lit
tie ones posted at the windows, and
the Christmas tree was lighted. At
the sound Of sleigh bells she switched
on the outside electric light. Into the
ward roadway came the most ravishing-
" delightful Kriss Kringle with his
wonderful RENDERS bedecked and daz-
cling with cleaning tinsel and holly.
It was like dream, those ensuing
two hours. And Ivy assisted, and it
seemed like paradise to the wanderer
to reyel amidst such Joyous friendli-
ness. And when the little ones had
gone to bed, as on that other Christ
mas eve, he stood beside Ivy.
II am going to tell you what my
heart longed to impart to you just two
years ago tonight" he said.
"Wait," she fluttered II can guess,
for had hoped" and she fitted from
the room. 1t was to return wearing
the rose-colored sash.
He knew 1t was his answer as she
hid her blushing face. AS he drew her
TO his arms a peal Of merry Christmas
bells echoed forth. And amid the joy
and glamor and love OF that radiant
hour, neither saw the shadow Of an
other parting.
