Uncle Santa, saying that he has ha6
his eye on this house for the last
twelvemonth, and that this will be one
OF his stopping places because from il
so much Of service for others has been
going out. He says that you are his
gardeners, and that you have planted
so many seeds of kindness that a lot
of beautiful things will be sure to
come up. That is always the way, he
says; in fact, it is the way in which
he got rich himself"
This was very pleasant assurance
for the children. It made them think
of a happy mistake that one of them
had made when they were having war
gardens all over the town: A certain
Mr.. Rose had been appointed by the
mayor as inspector Of gardens for the
whole place, and one day Betty point
ed him out to friend with whom she
was walking. "There goes Mr.. Rose"
she said; "he's an expecter of gar
denS !"
When the children had been re-
minded of Mr.. Rose they also remem-
bered what Betty had done at their
last Christmas party; stalking heavily
and pompously down the room, she
had said: "I'm Mr.. Atlas, who holds
up the world" So one of them stood
on tiptoe, threw back her head and
threw out her arms and said: I'm
Uncle Santa Claus, who holds up the
world" "Well done" cried Uncle
Peter; that's just it !"
There wasn't any disappointment in
the house the next morning. did you

certain congressman who has the
reputation of being the neatest
fence-straddler in the profession, a
man who is always anxious to con-
ciliate everybody. A measure, on
which there was a marked division
of opinion, was about to come up.
"Will the gentleman vote for this
bill if it comes up?" demanded a
member, aiming finger at the con-
gresham in question.
The latter looked from one side
of the House to the other and slowly
answered.:

Immediately the opposition broke
into a storm of booing. AS soon as

using one piece Of furniture Of
some unusual degree Of interest, q
very desirable effect may often be
had.
The window hangings should be
selected according to the amount
Of light in the room, because the
average apartment IL not blessed
with too many windows. Printed
chintzes or other lightweight MA
terials in yellow, tan or light blue
are usually pleasingly appropriate
for such rooms and bring the de.
sired effect.
The rug in a room that does not
receive much light should not be
OF dark or somber tone because
such rugs absorb light and tend
to lower the whole scheme of the
room.
For the dining room there should
be some agreeable relation of the
color scheme with the living room,
which usually opens from that
room through French doors or q
wide doorway. The living.room
color scheme may be kept Identical
in the two rooms. thus giving the
impression Of one large room. In
most cases a variation in the color
scheme is desirable, but a harmo-
NOUS relation is essential.
DINING ROOM SUITES.
The furnishing for the dining.
room nowadays Is easily solved by
the furniture made specially for
such apartments, such as small
matched suites, but II you are
planning to move to a house it
Is mistake to procure only a part
Of a matched suite, which later It
would be difficult or impossible to
complete.
Modern furniture designers have
also helped to. solve the problem
OF furnishing the bedroom, and CAV
figured chintzes. cretonnes and
other materials help the housewife
to meet the window drapery, dress
er top and chair cushion needs.
And the final word, which NAV
be considered the most important,
applies to all the apartment-the
wall paper. Too often apartment
home life has been made irksome,
depressing by some factor that
could not be fathomed when Il was

w ERE is what Lady Eliza
beth Bowes-Lyon herself
AA has to say about her COM
ing wedding to the Duke of York:
"As to when our marriage will
take place, I cannot say definite
ly, but in all likelihood the Prince
Of Wales will be our groomsman.
"I hope to be in Scotland a good
deal after my wedding"
Lady Elizabeth only smiled
when her attention was drawn to
the announcement made some little
time ago that she was likely to
become the bride OF the Prince
Of Wales. She would not say
whether the dukes proposal had
in any way been precipitated by
this announcement. Likewise, /
was informed that she had not
vet decided where her trousseau
would be made.
A matter which caused her no
little amusement is the number
Of trade circulars she has received
since her engagement. In each Of
these communications her atten-
ton has been directed to the super
lative character of the goods
which the firms concerned are
in a position to supply, and one
such notice she received in my
presence offered to supply her
with potatoes at a lower price
than any other merchant.
'I am sorry I cannot tell you
more in connection with my en-
gagement," she concluded with
engaging frankness, but since the
announcement of my betrothal I
have been living In a whirl. His

tented ourselves with little out
