CANDY BUYS
 XMAS GIFT
 FOR HIMSELF

It was simply out of the question for Mrs Ganuy to go to Sayville that morning. The day before Christmas and a thousand Nhings to do; but Mrs. Dandy was going. Of course he could do many errands, yet hardly the one she wished most to have done-a gift for himself. Sayville was the nearest shipping place to the tiny village where the Gandys lived good fifteen miles over the noun tain by a rickety bus which ran once a day.
 Mrs. Candy was struck with an idea. She hurried to neighbor's house and begged her to come home with her. Just ask MT. Candy if he will buy for you a pair of gloves, for your husband, Give large size. He will never guess.
 The neighbor obligingly consented. Mrs. Candy felt well pleased with her bit of scheme to get her hus- band to buy his own gift (unknow- ingly) for himself, but she was tri- file dismayed when, at five o'clock, MT. Candy came home, tired, hungry and tumbled an armful of packages on the kitchen table
 You got the sage for the dressing? The celery? The red toy truck for Tommy? The blue mittens for Sar- ah? The nuts and raisins, and the white wool for grandma?"
 MT. Candy nodded and inquired how soon supper would be ready. And" asked the wife casually, the gloves for Andrew, his wife wanted?"
 MT. Candy smiled. T clean forgot about them until the bus was ready to start! So hopped into a place and grabbed the first pair I saw Good enough for old Andrew l thought, but they aren't much" He grinned little shamefacedly, like a boy
 Mrs. Candy pumped down in a chair. Bill Candy, that serve you just right. Those gloves are a Christmas present from me to you You are served with your own sauce.' : And she laughed so hard that Bill Candy had to join her at his own xpense.-Martha B. Thomas.

CARVING HAS
 QUEER ID!OM

Few people are aware that such a pleasant Yuletide task as craving has a language of its own, which has nothing to do with evaporation. Forgetting for moment the ubiqui- tous turkey, which apparently is on- ly carved, an expert cites the fol- lowing terms as appropriate to the occasion: AIlay a pheasant.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21. - Nobody can replace Santa Claus in the hearts of children, but the makers of Christmas cards give him back seat in this seasons creations.
 That's because people are ex- pected to want original ways of sending their old Christmas greet ings. When Santa Claus does ap- pear he pilots an airplane on skis or is cut into almost unrecognizable silhouettes.
 Animals Popular
 Animal cards hold their own, with cats definitely smarter. Dogs particularly wirehairs and scotties -reappear prominently on the card counters. There are penguins, polar bears, elephants and photographs of glass antelopes, seals for those whose fancies run that way.
 Noel" is the thing to say this year, though many customers are expected to settle for Merry Christmas. The card writers eschew Xmas"
 Colored prints from Alice in Wonderland" and David Copper field" are shown in the supposedly smart collections.
 Fruit comes into it's own in this years cards, while blue is the color predominant.
 Flippancy Missing
 Flippancy, noted generally through last seasons cards, is ab- sent from the current stocks. They feature poinsettas, silhouette fig ures of gentlemen tipping their beavers to dainty creature in pant alettes.
 Although subdued, the religious motif is apparent, showing princi- pally the standard Three Wise Men and Mother and Lam b scenes. Hunting vistas in red, silver, and black also are popular, with ice- skaters on frozen ponds, rosy cheek ed cherubs, and plum buildings re- ceiying a substantial play.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. (UP)
Administration leaders last night
suppressed a house revolt by con-
gressmen lured by the political
"pork" possibilities in the $4,S80,-
900, 900 work relief bill.
Victory was won, however, at
the price of concessions permit
ting amendments to all but the
first three sections of the bill.
Original plans had been to jam
the bill through without permit
ting amendments and with debate
limited to three hours.
The truce, reached at a Demo-
cratic caucus binding the party TO
united action, clears the way for
consideration of the measure to-
day.
Under the concessions represen-
tatives may offer amendments to:
!. A section giving the Presi-
dent power to continue for one
year the life Of government agen-
cies such as the MIRA. ..
2. A section permitting him to
exercise the right of domain in &C
quiring property for public con-
struction projects.
3. A section providing stringent
penalties-fnes up to $4,000 and
prison terms up to two years--for
violation of rules prescribed by
the president.
But amendments will not be
permitted earmarking the vast
fund for specific purposes in con-
eressmen's home districts.
One of the sections to when
amendments will be permitted Is a
provision permitting Mr.: Roose-
Welt to postpone until June 3o'
1887, the expiration dates OF va
rious emergency agencies.
This will permit congressman m
censed at Public Works Admins

Ickes' method of dispensing jobs

congressman unable to get jobs
for constituents. The insurgents,
however, are not expected to get
beyond the protest stage with
their amendments.
