TN MAKING your Christmas gifts
this year, it is we'll to realize the
vogue of crocheting and knitting.
Both of these crafts are rapidly
executed The woman who knits
can make gifts in a short time with
her knitting needles, and the woman
who crochetS is equally fortunate, as
crocheting is quickly done. In view
of the fortuitouS combination of fash
ion and attractive work quickly &C
complished and at small cost, let us
make a note of some articles well suited
for presents.
First and foremost comes the thought
of bags, as they are in constant de-
mand for personal accessories and for
household requirements. A fascinat-
ing bag is made of circles or squares,
knit or crocheted. Use two or more
colors of yarn. fine angora for small
bags and heavier yarn, if preferred. for
large bags. Sew the circles together.

l"HIS giant fish also is known by
the name OF "horse mackerel"
and great albacore. It Is the
L only one of the known species.
Being pelagic In its habits. it
Is always to be found far from land.
The funny is to be found in all warm
seas, on the California coast as far as
Monterey Bay and in the Atlantic as
far north as Newfoundland and the Lof-
foden Islands. It Is the tuna" of the
Mediterrean and of California and the
funny" of the English. On the At
! lantic coast it is known as the horse
! mackerel," and on this coast it is seen
early in the Summer where it remains
until October. There are full and lean
years among them. They are har-
| pooned on the surface of the water in
the same manner as the taking Of
swordflsh.
The tuna Is the largest member of
the mackerel family and attains a
very great size. Ten feet or more in
length and a weight of 1900 pounds
is not unusual. This fine size is not
reached on the coast of Europe, how
ever. There a tuna weighing 500

ana attract much attention. On the
California coast the tuna that is us
ually taken with rod and line at Cata-
lima averages 251 pounds.
1t Is on the Atlantic Coast that the
tuna has gained his fame and size and,
strange as it seems, it is not looked
upon as game fish. Anglers go for
thousands of miles to catch the leap
ing tuna" The bets are evenly divided
as to whether the tarpon of Florida or
the tuna of the Santa Catalina resort
Is the greater leaper.
In California the tuna Is called the
tiger of the sea. 1t strikes like light
ming and races through the water with
the speed of a bullet. To the angler
he is a great JOY and the battle of
landing the fish is of supreme moment.
The bait used is a flying fish, the
favorite food of the tuna You pay out

of your rod into the leather cap fas-
tened to the seat. place your thumb
upon the leather break, fill your pipe,

The first indication that tuna is

history of this fish. scarcely more than
was known three-fourths of a century

because the market value was low.
The Winter home is still a mystery.
They likely dwell in the deep seas, as
do the tunas of the Mediterrean. Tuna

tunas identified
A large tuna will swallow a dogfish

by sending 10 cents and stamped g.

circles are intriguing, as they look in

ordinary plain knitting. This type of
work, composed of joined units, is the
latest thing in up-to-date fashion.
Round or square units, sewed to-
gether to make sofa cushion tops, are
in high favor. The medium can be
wool or silk. and the circles or squares
may be in open work backed with silk,
or the units can be in solid stitchery

tops may have one row of the joined
units form a fare around outside edges,
or edges may be finished with a seam

should then be two or three inches from
the edges of the cushion top.

and if we aren't wanted, 1, for one, am
not going We've been taunted enough
as it is by Sammy Jay. I don't intend
to give that fellow another chance to
gloat over us. No, sir, don't"
Just as you please retorted Mrs.
Happy Jack with toss of her pretty
gray head. You may stay here and
sulk if you want to, but I am going
over there"
With a f1irt of her big broad tail she
started off in the direction of the Old
orchard. Happy Jack scolded angrily
as he watched her go. She was soon out
of sight. Happy Jack sat around and
sulked. He had lost his appetite. He
didn't like it at all because Mrs. Happy
had gone off and left him alone.
Silly thing!" he muttered. "She
won't find anything over in the Old
Orchard. 1t would be merely an aggra-
walton to be so near that feeding shelf
and not be able to get to it. You don't
catch me over there. No, street"
He pretended to hunt for acorns but
| his thoughts were not on his work. It
was done in a half-hearted way. He
didn't even notice where he was going
Anyway, he pretended to be very much
surprised when he discovered that he
had reached the edge of the Green For
est. Just ahead of him was the Old
Orchard. Happy Jack paused and half
| turned back. Then he climbed a tree
from which ne could see farther into
the Old Orchard
Il wonder if Mrs Happy is over
there" he muttered. Now that have
come so far I suppose I may as well
keep on just to make sure that she is all
right. With that Black Pussy and that
little black-and-white dog it really isn't
safe for her to. be over here alone. Two
pairs of eyes are better than one. As I
said before, it was silly of her to come
over here. There is nothing to be
gained"
He started through the Old Orchard.
He nearly reached the edge nearest
Farmer Browns dooryard before he got
so much as glimpse Of Mrs. Happy.
Then he saw her in an old apple tree.
She was sitting up holding something in
her hands and eating. Happy Jack ST.
lently crept nearer. Mrs. Happy dis
appeared for an instant. Then she re-
appeared and sat up and began eating
again. She was eating peanut. Happy
Jack was so surprised that he rubbed
his eyes to make sure they were not
fooling him.

What are we to do then? If we had

gather and hide, and which we may so
sorely need when the real hard times

Happy Jack.

was very much upset. In fact,
he was peeved. There were
l. good things to eat, things he
liked and wanted on window
shelf at Farmer Browns house and he
couldn't obtain so much as taste OF
them. You see, there was no way for
him to reach the shelf. His feathered
neighbors, at least some of them, feasted
there daily, and it seemed to Happy
Jack most unfair that he could not share
in this bounty.
Il wouldn't have thought it of Farm

have thought it of him." complained
Happy Jack to Mrs. Happy. Il always
had thought he was friend of ours, but
now I know he isn't. If he was he
wouldn't keep us away from that shelf.
We need help just as much as the birds
Go these hard times, and he ought to
know it. Probably he does know it and
doesn't care"
Mrs. Happy Jack picked up an acorn,
turned it over in her hands and tossed
it aside. She didn't have to open it to
know that it was bad. Perhaps later
when we need help more, he will think
of us and do something for us" said she

The grotto Of Gethsemane is a copy

the same garden that one reads of in
the Bible, dedicated to our Lords agony
on the eve of His crucifixion.
As we walk along we pass by the
