DJSTRIBUTNG THE GIFTS
Some Novel Ways That Will Please
the Recipients and Add to the
Occasion
Should one wish something more
original than Christmas gifts
wardly thrust into ones hands by the
giver should the time honored stock
ing pall here are several new ways
that may cause excitement in present
distribution
Some member of the family or one
of the maids can enter the breakfast
room where the table is prettily dec
orated with greens but no gifts are
displayed She should be heavily veil
ed dressed in a long rain coat and
carry two or three cotton umbrellas
furled
Her appearance will excite surprise
particularly if the sun shines She will
insist that it is going to rain and try
to get her umbrellas raised
Some of the children will offer to
assist and from the umbrella will fall
the packages gaily tied and clearly
addressed Anything that may suffer
from a tumble should be tied to the
ribs
In one household the large family
has decided that each person shall
bunt up some novel way of gift pre
sentation No one will know what the
Dther has selected but the element ot
surprise will be emphasized
A mother who wishes to avoid con
fusion at the breakfast table has de
cided that no presentation should be
mide then The family will be asked
to put their various presents in a cer
tain room on Christmas eve All are
rrv tied and addressed No one but
mother knows what is to become of
them
At close of breakfast the next morn
ing Christmas the door bell rings
and a maid brings in an immediate de
livery letter This is gaily decorated
with the seasons stamps and seals
When opened it is found to be a
letter from Santa Claus saying his
pack was too heavy so he has for
warded by express all his gifts In a
few minutes a huge box is delivered
In the kitchen which when opened is
round to contain packages addressed
to each one
Another easier way is to pass a
ray covered with a number of small
keys with red ribbon and a Christmas
tag attached On the tag is written
he childs name and the information
iiat somewhere in the house is con
cealed a bag the key will open
Then begins a hunt into all sorts o
places to find great
Dags of turkey red muslin draped
tvith greens and fastened at the top
tvith a padlock Each bag holds the
ifts for one member of the family
Stockings For Christmas Only
The Christmas stocking as generally
known is one taken from the bureau
supply for daily wear In certain parts
of the country however the Christ
mas stocking is never in use except to
be hung from tho chimney with
are The New England stocking of
this kind is usually long in the leg
md knitted from woolen yarn There
ire stockings on Cape Cod which havo
been used by four generations of chil
dren Once emptied of their treasure
Dn Christmas morning they are rolled
jp and marked and laid away for the
lext years festivities

When Things Go Wrong
When things go wrong about the house
The bread forgets to rise
And little Minnie tears her dress
And all the babies cry
Oh dont sit down and mope and sigh
And fret and worry so
But dress the kidlets and yourself
And see The Electric Picture Show
When all the World looks blue to you
And you begin to fag
Your head to ache your heart to break
And appetite to flag
Just lock the door and leave your cares
Behind you as you go
And spend an hour of solid joy
