CAROLS ON
 CHRISTMAS

Warren Elmore was mad-angry through and through. For the first time in his business career he had had quarrel with his partner. Of course it had been all Peters fault, but even that thought didn't help so very much. The old saying, Tt takes two to make a quarrel" kept both- ering him.
 What was it that his wife had told him to get at Grants? He asked himself the question as he entered the big department store. Hose for Muriel that was itl Bother Christ mas shopping, anyway; why didn't Beverly tend to things herself?
 As he walked down the crowded aisles, he was conscious of music from the balcony An orchestra was up there playing Christmas carols. Warren Elmore forgot his peeve against the world; he hurried up and joined the happy crowd. His

WRAP GLAMOUR AROUND YOUR
 GIFT PARCELS

Nowadays it's almost as much fun to tie up your gifts as it is to choose them-for the shops abound with stunning papers III gay Christ mas designs or lovely colors, seals and ribbons and bands of cello phane. Many stores make a special point of exhibiting sample packages to inspire you to create your own.
 There< are packages wrapped in snow white paper and tied with enormous scarlet bows of cellophane, the edges elaborately scalloped or slit into a fringe. A very stunning square gift box was wrapped in a deep rich blue and tied with gold tissue ribbon and the box studded with gold stars in various sizes. A round candy box was wrapped in a huge sheet of red cellophane that was gathered to the top and tied with a rubber band-the ends cut and fringed and arranged into a huge pom pom.
 You might use the very pretty candy-stripe papers to wrap some oI your gifts and tie the packages with red and green cellophane rib bon. Or you may use green tissue paper and dot the package with huge seals in poinsettia form.
 One of the loveliest packages was wrapped in silvery white tissue and tied with silver ribbon with three silver bells Christmas tree

You might even get more definite cue to hi tastes by looking for labels to iden- tify the store in which he buys for himself. It's more than likely that there you will find a manager. or clerk that knows all about him and can help you choose just the kind of merchandise he selects fol himself.

Queer Yuletide
 Custom Observed In England

In Herefordshire, England, queer custom was formerly observed. On Christmas Eve the farmers ser wants procured a large cake, stuck pole through it and then fastened it on the horn of an OK. repeating 1t the same time a certain formula to the effect that their master might have a good crop of corn. The men and boys then collected around the OK when, if it happened to throw the cake behind it, it belonged to the men; if before, to the boys.

CHRISTMAS PLATE

One of the very incest things one can receive at Christmas time is an attractive old plate, and it will be nicer still if it contains few home made cookies. Take a large square of holiday paper in color harmon izing with the decorations of the plate, gather it together at the top, with the corners all frilled out, and finish off with spray of mistletoe, gold or silver leaves, or a contrast ing bow.

EvERYBODY's CHRISTMAS

Of all our religious festivals the most human is Christmas. It cen ters in little child; around the child is family; and around the family the setting of the Christ mas story. Its whole appeal is to that human sympathy which is common to all people.

1t has been definitely decided
not to hold the meeting of Roose-

to hear the acceptance speech of
President Roosevelt.
Hundreds of people have ex-
pressed themselves as preferring
to remain at home and there hear
the speech, which is to be broad
cast from Franklin Field, Phila-

would be too small to warrant
this park being lighted and the
amplifiers arranged.
1t was suggested by members
of the committee on arrangements
that as many persons, as were so
inclined, would invite friends to
their homes to listen in on the
talks to be made and which will
be concluded with the nomination
