CLEOPATRA is said to have

public restaurant, orders oysters

The incident that started this

Straight TO Schimer's table
came host Hartmann. who put
the pearl in his vest pocket and

bestow upon Cuchullain For IL
she would give two creatures she
had reared and that had long
been her companions. two great
hounds. Aefa wanted these
hounds her side of the island
was often raided by pirates, and
nothing was more dreaded by
by these raiders than the
great fierce hounds that would
attack men wading from their
boats
From whore they exercised,

No. You will have 10 be very
quick with the wheel-feat to

So Cuchullain and his friend
talked as Uathach went towards
A efa's STRONGHOLD
She got the Gae Bolga from
Princess -Aefa and brought it
back But even though she held
what she had gone for, not joy
Gus was her return to her moth
er's dun. For Uathach had seen
a woman whose appearance made
her know that she and all the
women of her mothers kingdom
were ill-favored she had seen
the Princess Aefa.
And now she became either sui
len or sorrowful when she talked
with Cuchullain, for the thought
that Aefa's face matched his.
She trembled when he said:
Il miss your hounds, Uathach.
Some day 1 will go into Aefa's
territory and see them again" or
Are there wolves to hunt IN
Aefa's territory? would go
there and hunt with the hounds

CHE gave the Gae Bolga to him.
- And although ne spoke his
wonder at the greatness of the
gift, and thanked her, and praised
her for her generosity over and
over again, Uathach knew that
Cuchullain was more entranced
by the gift than by the one who
made it.
Aefa began to be talked about
by those around Scathach She
was holding back the tribute she
should send And then there was
war. and Aefa was coming into
Scathachs territory with char
lots and men.
Scathach made ready for bat
tie, and the youths she was train
ing joined her ranks. But the one
who was best amongst them was
not where her ranks were
formed: Uathach. when she was
serving him, put a drug in Cuch-
ullian's ale, a drug that would
keep a man sleeping for night
and a day
And when he had drunk the ale,
Cuchullain lay down on the
rushes in Scathachs hall
He did not hear the trumpets
sounding; he did not hear Scath-
ach's brazen-throated crier call

in TO her battle-ranks, he did not
hear the rafting of the chariots
as the host went forward He lay
upon the rushes while Uathacn,
that a battle was at
hand, leaned above him she was
stabbed and stabbed again by
the thought that his face

But the drug that would keep
another asleep for a night and a
day could not bind Cuchullain's
spirit for long. In an hour he
started from his sleep. He sprang
up and put on his bettle-dress

THE CHILDREN ON
 THE BIG DAY

Christmas time being season of joy, every precaution should be taken to prevent any untoward circumstance which might enter in- to it's celebration.
 Too often the careless placing of ,sghted candles has resulted in painful burns. and even death to those participating in the Yule- tide festivities. Santa Claus has been the victim in innumerable cases.
 Tiny electric lights now are most used in lighting the Christmas tree, and that reduces the fire danger materially. If candles are to be used in the decoration--and they undoubtedly lend an effect not to be obtained by the electric lights they should be placed on the nan tel and in other secure locations where contact with their pretty blazes is not likely to be made.
 In Christmas sports involving the slightest danger. children should be directed in their play by an older person who is competent to effect a rescue if necessary.

D0NT'S

Here are a few "don'ts" for Christmas, recommended by safety authorities:
 l. Don't give small children toys involving alcohol, Kerosene or gaso- line engines. They may tip over and set the house on fire.
 ?. Don't permit small children to run electrical toys without the supervision of an adult.
 3. Don't permit small children to use toy movie projectors without using safety film which burns slowly. Ordinary film burns ex- plosively and gives off smoke and fumes which may cause death If inhaled
 4. Don't use candles or light ex- tra fires without being extremely careful, especially in regard to candles on trees.
 5. Don't wear inflammable cos tunes, especially Santa Claus boards, without firefroofing them.
 G. Don't use inflammable orna- ments and evergreen decorations.

Lincoln, Roosevelt Bring Spirit
 Of Christmas to White House

The White House has seen all kinds of Christmases during the 140 years that it has domiciled the Pres ident of the United States. There have been rowdy. fun-loving Christ masses during the Teddy Roosevelt administration, and there have been long stretches when Santa Claus wasn't quite sure whether to stop at 1900 Pennsylvania avenue.
 John and Abigail Adams. the first tenants of the Presidents Palace" brought no children to it, and Mrs. Adams felt that New England was a much better place for the seat of the government.
 There have been many other child less Christmases in the White House, such as the dull period be- tween the Tylers and the Lincolps. But probably the two families which will go down in Santa Claus mem ory for really riotous holiday sea son are the Theodore Roosevelts, when Kermit, Archie and Quentin put pony in the elevator and in- troduced the first electrically light ed Christmas tree; and the current clan of Roosevelts, who from Frank lin Delano the First to Franklin Del ano the Third have invoked the spir- it of Christmas with equal abandon.
 Tad Lincoln's Invasion.
 The nearest thing to Rooseveltian good spirits in the early days was induced by Tad Lincoln who-with his pets-had the full run of the mansion.
 The stately mansion had never known any such invasion since the Christmas of 1886, when Andrew Jackson threw open it's doors to the orphans of Washington.
 When the Theodore Roosevelts came to the White House.. there was plenty of festivity, but no Christ mas tree. The explanation given to the children was that tree with candles was fire hazard.
 But the next year, the Roosevelt boys led TR to closet, opened the door. and surprised him with a Christmas tree sparkling with cleo tric lights. They had conspired with the electrician and prepared the first electrically lighted tree in the White House.

How Hawaii Celebrates
 AtYuIeTinle

It's asking a lot to expect people bern in temperate attitudes to get steamed up about Christmas in the tropics. But to children on islands Tn the middle of the Pacific. Christ mas is still Christmas! writes Ar mine von Tempski.
 "On the outlying islands in Ha- waii, Christmas is carried in on horseback, and the jingle of pani- olos spurs replaces the imagined tinkle of Santa's merry sleigh bells. On Christmas eve some inner part of me waits and listens all night for the tramp of horses hoofs, the ringing of spurs, rich Hawaiian voices singing above resonant gui- tars and gay ukeleles; for cowboy serenaders, riding from ranch to ranch.
 Like cadenced meles, which put an everlasting spell upon you, memories of Christmas spent on the 60000-acre cattle ranch my father managed on the slopes of Haleakala, the extinct volcano on the island of Maui, persist with undying viyidness. A fair number of persons. representing different races, making up the sum total of humanity, participated in them. Americans, Hawaiians, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese and tn cir crossings assembled under our roof Christmas eve. Each group brought flavor peculiarly it's own to add to the Birthday of all birthdays"

 tree--in the second floor hall.
 If Christmas spirit were registered on thermometer, it would show a steady rise in the last IS years. The Coolidge boys were too old to go in for Santa Claus.
 The Hoover Christmas was warm CT. for the lugubrious Mir. Hoover really tried to unbend on Christ mas day. The most expert unbend- ing was done, however, by his sec- retary, Larry Richey, who burst out of the fireplace in the East room on Christmas morning, to the delight of Peggy Anne and Peter, the Presi- dents grandchildren.
 Christmas spirit rose to still warmer degree when the F. D. Roosevelts came in and, instead of hiring the professional reader en- gagged by the Hoovers to read the Dickens Christmas Carol" the reading was taken over by that mas- ter of dramatic art, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
