THINKING
ABOUT CHRISTMAS
By
Charles Battel. Loomis
(Copyright Iy W. O. Chapman.)
Merry Christmas!
Did jou ever think how pretty those
letters look, and how delightful the
words sound?
The M "and the C aro red and there's
a Jolly looking Santa Clans, ruddy-
cheeked and stout, looking out from
behind them, and the salutation
sounds like Klelghbells and the crankle
of iciixl packing snow, und happy
voices.
Merry Christmas!
Have you ever tried telephoning tho
good wish to the abject poor who live
huddled in tenements? The trouble
Is thai most of them have no tele
phones. I tut If they only did have
them It would be such a kindly thin'.?
to wake them out. of their troubled
sleep on Christmas morning to wish
them u Merry Christmas.
Then ring off.
It wouldn't take much time and It
wouldn't take any money (If you
chose the poverty stricken of your
own town) and they needn't know who
spoke to them,
Then they could go hack to bed and
go to sleep again or else stay up to
enter upon their tiring, sordid round
of things, but they would know that
even If there was to be no Christmas
"Hello Mr. Starving Man."
dinner for them, and even If they had
no stockings, let alone anything to
put In them, some unknown person
had wished them well.
I think we all wish tho poor well.
Those people who at a banquet gave
three cheers for the poor pave theni
with great vim,- I've been told.
Itut as the really poor seldom go to
the expense of having telephones put
In on the hare chance that some one
may wish them a Merry Christmas,
most of us will he unable to wish them
well unless we go to see them.
And that (suggests another thought
that their lack of a telephone is like
ly to prove expensive for us.
You can call a poor man up and
wish him a Merrw Christmas with all
the. feeling anil nil the sincerity in
the world, and then you can ring off
before be gets a chance to ask your
number, but if you go to see him, why,
it looks as if you ought to take some
thing with you beside mere saluta
tions. A winsome manner and a cheerful
voice, and a hearty hand clasp go a
long way to bring a touch of gold Into
the gray day of a bed ridden woman
whom Santa Clans omitted to call
upon, owing to the shocking condition
of her chimney Hue, hut, nfter you
have gone away, hunger Is just as
likely to visit her as If you had not
visited her yourself.
It might not be a bad Idea to take
something along.
If you who read this Intended to
take something aloni;- or to send some
thing pleasant, don't take offense at
my reminding you. I was talking to
myself as much as to anybody - think
ing aloud.
Isn't It a lucky thing that wo don't
feel called upon to be charitable ex
cept at stated times Christinas and
New Year's and Thanksgiving day? I
think that's all. If we had to think
af the poor every week they would get
on our nerves.
Talk about duplicate wedding pres
ents I fancy that some of the poor
In our town, people who are not
troubled by visitors to any great ex
tent from January to Christmas week,
have duplicate turkeys on Christmas
Jay.
Of course die poor woman can put
the duplicate In her refrigerator and
have It served up cold for many a cold
day, hut perhaps a smallish chicken
every month or so would not cost
much more than the big turkeys that
como to her from different donors
I early Christmas mornlug.
And It's possible that she has no re
frigerator. Hut her room is cold enough to keep
the bird n long time.
Another thought why not endanger
the keeping powers of the big bird by
strewing a few lumps of coal on her
floor?
We are using up coal at such a ruin
ous rate, we American people, that
thern will be none to burn in a com
paratively short time; but I do not
think that the poor are nearly as ex
travagant In their use of it as the rest
of us are.
Did It ever occur to you that the
superfluous heat In your houses, the
heat that Is making nervous wrecks
of many of your women folk, would
comfortably warm thousands of poor
people all winter long?
Aren't we foolish? We shovel In
coal to the wrong furnaces. In your
house it Is so hot that you are always
sniming with colds, while In the
homes of the poor on the next block
but one it Is so cold that they are all
sniffling with colds.
All sniffling together but not all get
ting together to devlso means by
which thpy might share a little of your
superfluous coal.
Merry Christmas!
I said that to myself Just to cheer
myself up, because I felt that I was
going on in anything but a Christmas
strain about things In general. Noth
ing slap-stick about this style of hu
mor. I dare Kay I'll find a slapstick
in my stocking from some editor who
likes more ginger than I am able to
compass.
Mut when I'm thinking I let my
thoughts follow their own way never
trying to coerce them, and what I'm
after Is a Merry Christmas for lots of
people. We elected the man most of
us wanted, and he's a sort of Santa
Clans himself. He'll do all he can to
give us u succession of Merry Christ
masses. Let's get together and help
all we can.
"Hello, Central! (live me that man
who is said to be starving. There's
5RS2
a man next door who has a telephone
and he'll let him use It."
"Hello, starving man. Iiuck up.
Christmas Ib still with us and there
are a lot of people who have their
eyes on you. You may die we must
all die hut I think you'll die of a
surfeit of Christmas cheer."
Merry Christmas!
HIS CAUSE FOR THANKFULNESS,
Discouraged Man Had No Need to

"Well, has anyone been robbed or
murdered or anything?'' he asked of
the man In the car who seemed deep

"Someone Is always being robbed or
murdered," was the reply, "but here
Is something worse than that, by
Oeorge, but this country seems bound
to go to destruction!"
"What is it?"
"When tho Panama canal was pro

$115,000,000."
"Yes, 1 remember the figures. I re
member of thinking what I would do
If I had such a sum In my pocket."
"And now It Is announced that It
Is sure to cost double that sum."
"You can't mean It!"

"Do you think anything will be done

Hast Not Always Best.
What reason could not avoid has
often been cured by delay. Seneca,
Hhllh are three simple dresses that are just the thing for morning wear
In the house. The first Is In rather fine nuvy blue serge; the skirt is
trimmed with wide black braid; straps of the material and braid cov
ered buttons. It fastens at the
made with a very tiny yoke and collar
of white washing silk; the material is
to bust, and ut the back is plain; the

quite down the outside of arm. The
The bodice is sewn to a narrow waist
so that both can be slipped on together.
Materials required: 7 yards 4ti inches wide, 7 yards braid, about I dozen
ittons, yard while silk 22 inches wide.
The second Is in grey mohair. The skirt is unite nhiin: tbe bodieo h.
a straight vest, collar, and under sleeves of tucked net; straps of tucked ma
terial, bound with silk, are carried over the shouldtrs, and terminate under
the shaped waist band. Pieces of silk form a sort of vest each side, winch
ieu nn nouon over me enus or trio silk tie. Long fringed ends or rib
bon fall from the left side of waist.
Materials required: 7 yards 40 Inches wide, 7 yards sateen for lining
1 yard silk 22 inches wide, 14 yard tucked net.
The third costume shown is in brown cashmere. The skirt is made with
wrapped seams; closely-set pleats being let in at lower half of bide seam A
band of silk 2 inches wide forms a trimming. The bodice has a vest of tucked
cream silk; then from the edge of each front stand out shaped pieces of silk
embroidered in various shades of brown and blue. The ends of this cross
below bust, and are buttoned to the fronts. The material for sleeves is ar
ranged in folds that are finished below the elbow with embroidered silk cuffs
Sash of ribbon to match silk on skirt.
Materials required: 7 yards -IS Inches wide. li ynrd silk, 4 ynrds ribbon,
I yard silk for vests, 7 yards sateen for lining.
USE FOR THE SEPARATE TUNIC.
Will Transform Old-Fashioned Frock
Into Something Smart.
Clever women have found out that a
separate tunic, made of another ma
terial than tho gown and draped over
It, is an excellent method of altering
an old-fashioned frock.
There are some skirts that are too
short to bo lifted up even for two
Inches on the bodice to give the em
pire efTect, and they are too much
out of stylo to wear as they are.
If the skirt and bodice are put tog-ether
by their linings and two or
three folds of self-colored material
neatly draped around the waistline In
order to make it invisible, the founda
tion work Is finished.
The tunic may be made of net,
chiffon cloth, bands of net and em
broidered satin, or all-over lace edged
w ith fur or gold galloons.
This is cut with a seam down mid
dle of back and neatly draped three
inches above the waistline, headed with
folds of the material or a piece of the
trimming used elsewhere.
This tunic drops from bust to
knees and gives tho exact line that It
needs this winter on smart frocks.
Coats Longer.
Coats of nearly every kind and for
any wear are somewhat longer this
year than formerly. There ure, of
course, some short jackets and sonic
extremely long coats accompanying
runabout suits, but the minimum av
erage length for the popular walking
coat Is 30 inches.
Right pretty are some of the little
silk coats in la Watteau, shown
among the recent Paris Importations.
They are often trimmed with hand
some laces or galloons ami sometimes
with rare embroideries.
Silk coats in the tone of the i.klrt
are more used than are cloth ones like
the skirt, especially in suits to be
worn for anything like dress occa
sions. These coats are usually loose
and made In odd styles, In Imitation
of 25 or more years ago.
Colors Must Be In Harmony.
No sudden or violent color handling
of showy colors. In any way whatso
ever, In suit materials, In millinery, or
in dress trimmings and plumes, is to
bo met with this season, says Vogue.
Perfect adaptation and harmony
reigns, which, of course, bespeaks ex
quisite taste In every direction. A
word about these new colors will fur
nish tho tight Idea of a distinct de
parture from the colors of last season.
There Is far less ohiruslveness In the
'prune," which we knew us the plum
shade, for the new tone has more red
than blue In Its tint, and Is far richer

KEEPING THE PIANO IN ORDER,
Music Lover Has Growing Plants In
Water In Drawing Room.
A matron who is fond of music and
owns a handsome grand piano says
she keeps it in tune much longer and
prevents it from drying out with the
intense heat of her city house by
growing plants in water in her draw
ing room.
She raises Chinese lilies and hya
cinths in glass bowls and jars and us
ually has standing on the piano or
near it a big rose jar or a large glass
pitcher filled with a dozen or mon?
vines of tradescantia growing In wa
ter. This vine is better known as "wan
dering Jew," and thrives as well in
water as in soil. It comes in tho plain
gree n and variegated leaves, and Is a
charming addition to a room as well
as making the air more moist. The
vines root readily in water and need
comparatively little l!ht.
About once a week the plants are
carefully removed, the jar washed and
Illled with pure water. A small lump
of charcoal In the water will keep It
from getting Impure.
AN ULTRA MODISH HAT.
An extremely modish hat In nil
black Is pictured in above cut. The
shape It the corday or mushroom
type, in black velvet, with a long
black filk scarf whose ends are fin
ished with deep fringe, artistically
draped around crown and falling over
brim on left side.
Saving the Hands,
Cotton gloves worn when dusting or
fussing around the house- ura much
cooler ii ml Just ns useful r.s old cloves.
I Most workruen who do their own work
win no very glad to hear this, for It Is
so hard to work round the house
without Injuring the hands, and old kid
gloves are hot ami clumsy.
Coffee Stains.
