CARTERS flTTLE IVER HpiLLS. st J art, wditi I'VE BEEN 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 Worry Over Financial Trouble. "Well, has anyone been robbed or murdered or anything?'' he asked of the man In the car who seemed deep ly Interested In his newspaper. "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 jected Its estimated cost was about $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!" "Hut 1 do mean it. Here It Is In black and white. Yes. sir. that canal Is lo cost this country $230,000,000 Two hundred and thirty million, and who knows that the cost will even stop tn ere: "It Is simply terrific." "Terrific! Sir, that Is no name for It. It Is simply appalling. It's mon strous. It's amazing. Whv, sir" "Do you think anything will be done about it?" Interrupted the Inquirer. "Do 1? Do 1? You bet there will, Why, when tho public at large comes to understand It such u howl will go up from millions of throats there will bo a demand for such a reckoning the great American nation will want such an accounting " "Excuse me, but I want to say that I have Just been Hied from my job. wus going homo feeling as blue as rag. but now I seo where I havs causo to be thankful. I shan't have to pay those $230,000,000. No, sir, and I don't feel a durned bit sorry for the rest of you, and I get off here and good by to you, overburdened tax nayer." 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 anu nave a piece or Praia carried round 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 In tone. Smoke grays, and two blues a Peauvuls and a royal blue, and first a tapestry shade, the latter that deep tint seen In a supphlre are very lotjly. side under the braid. The bodice is - band; these and the under-sleeves are tucked each side front from shoulder sleeves tire tucked on the top of arm. the. yoke to form a point In front and fastening is ut side, under the braid. band, which is tacked to the skirt band. 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.
