Library Chats
"Glad Christmas comes and every
Hearth makes room to give him wel
come.” When Dickens read his Christ
mas carol in Boston In 1867 he estab
lished the old English custom in our
country. And today there are lhany
households that always read one of
Dickens Christmas stories on Christ
mas eve. The spirit of good will,
combined with loving memories of the
past and joyful hopes for future days,
prevail In his stories of this season of
gladness and the most popular are
"The Chimes.” "Seven Poor Travel
ers.” “A Child s Dream of a Star.”
“The Holly Tree,” “What Christmas
Is as lie Grow Older."! "A Christ
mas Ti*ee and a Christmas Carol.”

Much inquiry has arisen over the
quotation, “Fight, my men—I am hurt
but I am pot slain, I'll lie me down
and bleed a whUe. And then I’ll rise
and fight again,’' used by Sir James
M. Barrie in his rectoral address at St.
Andrews. These stirring lines occur
in "The Ballad of Sir Andrew Barton.”
which is included in the "Oxford Book

“The Second Empire,” by Philip Que

the best book since Strachey's “Queen

Who has not loved a little child, he knows not Christmas Day—
The wondered, breathless wal(ing through fir-sweet morning gray.
White tropic forests on the pane against the dawn-streaked sl(ies.
The awe of faith unhesitant in lifted childish eyes;
The spluttered, spicy, leasing joy of kitchen-fragrance sweet, . ..
The sting of frost upon his face, the snow-creak 'nealh his feet;
The swish of runners, songs of bells, the laughing-echoed call
From drifted hilltops, sparkling white; the blue sky folding all;
The holly-berried table top, the feasting and the fun.
With Christmas ribbons strewing all until the day is done; t
The hush of candle-lighting time, the hearth-flame flickered red.
The warm soft clasp of clinging hands up shadowed stairs to bed;
The crib-side talk that slacks and stills on stumbled drowsy not.
The love that stings beyond your eyes, and catches in your throat;
The hope, the fears, the tenderness, the Mary-praycr you pmy—
Who has not loved a little child, he knows not Christmas Day.
CHILD'S CHRISTMAS—By Martha llaskoll Clark.

Fresh from Paris are the cun
ningest handbags ever; one repre
senting Pierott and the other Pier
rette. Pierrot has flame red hair,
which contrasts sharply with tiis
rich black velvet costume, and
Pierrette has a paneled frock over
pantalets and a dashing white ruche.
The costumes of Pierrot and Picr
rett make the bags and the quaint
little heads with rakish caps arc
mounted on the bag frames. Arms
and feet are attached to the little
figures aud altogether the effect is
quite gay and alluring—and inside
the bags are very capacious reticules.
Pierrot and Pierrette are very much
the thing at the moment, in the way
of handbags to carry with afternoon
costumes—and, of course, the de
butantes are particularly enthusiastic
over these odd and unusual bags.

In the matter of being well-dress
ed, years are no longer a consid
eration. The gay young flapper and
her gay young grandmother may
have interchangeable wardrobes
with perfect propriety. In the frocks
of today the mature woman is for
ever young and the dress of the
icune fillc establishes the mode.

The sleeve situatipn is diverting.
Some of .the newest frocks show
sleeves tljat reach well over the
band, sheathing the arm closely from
shoulder to wrist. Others show wide
sleeves that swing clear of the arm
as soon as they leave the loose arm
hole. Others show sleeves chopped
off close to the shoulder—afternoon
frocks, with which are worn out
of doors black kid gloves reaching
just above the^ elbow. Still other
frocks show sleeves that cover the
under part of the arm, but are noth
ing but a couple of straps across the
top or outside of the arm. The idea
seems to be tha( we may suit our
own taste and our own type of arm
in our choice of sleeve.

White crepe de chine is one of the
fabrics well accepted at present for.
frocks for very little girls. It washes
and is soft and dainty, and really is
a very good choice by any but the
mother who has an inherent or con
stitutional dislike of silk fabrics for
little children.

Crepes prevailing fabric fashion:
Crepe Mystic is softly lustrous as
the folds change exposing a winding
laciness of design; Crepe Lczard has
tiny wrinkles of exceeding delicacy:
Crepe Savoy is boldly pebbled over
its entire surface; Kitten’s Ear
Faille is unusually soft with a very
s
definite corded weave; Iona Crepe
lias tiny indentations much too small
to be classed with the pebbled
crepes; Snow Flake Crepe catches
the light on large designs irregularly
shaped, which cover its lengths.
Crepes of supple grace, beloved
fabric of the mode.

Those adorable little pcrfumcttesl
Who could resist having a nest of
them upon the dressing table? In
many colors and in as t^any odors,
these tiny flagons allow one to
choose the exact fragrance express
ive of one’s mood. Today, it may
be something heavy, almost heady,
vampish tomorrow a whiff as deli
cate as the wafted scent of an old
fashioned phlox. This morning, it is
violets: in the afternoon, roses that
ane selects. Economical, too, since
the essences arc of the best and large
bottles would tax the purse more
heavily, by fajr, than docs the collec
tion of baby ‘‘jugs.’’
