Winter Calottes ,
Is Christmas what it used to bet It doesn't '
seem so when the goings on of the present
nro recalled In contrast with these that mndo
up the lives of our fathers nnd mothers , and
oven wcro n part of our childhood.
When tbo W ritor was a youngster , Christ
mas toys rtml cards vero not advertised on
the 1st of November , and Christmas numbers
of the papers only socmcd to como out In tlmo
to find glad faces at the breakfast table the
morning of Sunta Glaus' visit , Now the
magarlncs and vvccklv papers issue tbolr hol
iday numbers so cnrly thnt their subsequent
nppoarauco In their usual sonibro form nnd
ngaln ( and often several times ) before Christ
inas day is singularly mapropos and not at
nil merry.
A "symposium" recently published on the
subject of "Santa Claus" indicates that there
arc n number of pcoplo represented as parents
and teachers of children who deem it immoral
and dcvllsh to cnuso children to bcllovo Iu
the existence of tbo jolly old elf ; that the
realisation , finally , tint there is no such
being Is likely to make children doubt true
nnd better teachings.
There is no use arguing1 Ibis thing.
These deductions nro absurd , and
you might as well cast out from
literature , but itmaymjuro > oung people ,
11 fairy stories , mythology , and everything
also likely tobobollovcd In during- that do-
llgbtful i > cried of llfo called childhood.
The mother who docs not draw ubDut her
the joys of her children , nnd feel within her
a charming reimniiccnco of early nvvcot-
licartcdiicss in reel tin R Clement Moore's
" 'Twns ' the night before Christmas , " is un-
\voilhy Ooa's blessing.
Why ? Uccauso It sncnlts of Homo. The
man or woman grown , who docs not seem to
Imvo nU'Cinpty place in thoughts on Ctulsr-
inas day n longing for the satisfaction of
ono moment's return , when tbo toy Noah's
uric or the tin locomotive was first discovered
by the fireplace In the hay dinco of that
happy morn has hvcct n llfo nvvay.
God bless Santa Cltiusl God bless the
children of these sweet , loving mothers who
BO live lu their own gentle tenderness us to
almost believe iu Hint wholesome nnd happy
myth. For ho Is an honest puiveyor of tlio
teachings of Christ iu that it is better to give
than receive.
But what can this have to do with the
world of fnshlont
May bo little , but do not the leaders in the
smart vv orld huv o children , and are they not
to bo remembeied upon this universal day ol
pence , which midnight Wednesday -will
usher In 1
There is simply n suggestion to these whoso
names hu\o been mentioned time und ngaln
in thcsn columns , to so surround their chll
dren's lives with brightness , with great Joyv
that they , the little ones , will como to believe
that the real Chrlstmis is not thnt which
comes nnd goes every 23th of December , bul
that which lives In the heart all the year
round.
Socially the week has not been noted for
great doings in society , although there have
been many delightful little nffniis , which
Bccm to bo grow lug in popularity as the sea
hon grows old. Hostesses are gradually com'
ing to the opinion that two or three llttlo af
fairsduiIng the season , wherein jou rna\
choose to hnvo the young , the middle-ngct
nnd the old about you , in turn , is so much
plcnsniitir than a crush and then have re
niaiks made about the crowds und tbuservice
and so on ud inllnituui.
The Dickey permnn was a very dcllcrhtfu.
though somewhat Informal p.irtv.but It broke
the ice and ulieady a number of gcrmaus are
announced to taito place during January.
The Turner reception brougbtout the smar
woild In Inrgo numbcrswhlle several charm
intj curd parties gave the people who daucc
but llttlo opportunity to show what they
know of the enticing game of high live.
Next week promises llttlo hi the way of bij ,
" affairs but usually Itioweek brings around
Its full complement of dances , parties and re
coplions.
It is a pity thnt society cannot hnvo nn op
portunity to pay its liomngo to Mrs. Dorolln
Tenunnt Stanley , who. with herliusband.vvii
bo in Omuhii both on the evening before anc
on Chiistmas day. The leulersof society h
every eastern Uty have siov\n Mrs. Stunloj
treat attention , nnd she has accepted it ull.as
the gejitlo English woman naturally would
n tribute to the great fame of her husband
Christmas morning ISlr , nnd Mrs. Stanlo ;
Will worship at Trinity cathedral mid prob
ably will take their Christmas dinner at the
Millard , wheroasultoof rooms bus boon re
curved for tbe famous cxploier and his beau
tiful and accomplished wife unless somebody
should carry them away ton , renl old-fash
ioned English dinner with boar's head , plum
pudding and a gorum of punch to wash It
all down , n gentle reminder to the llovvcr of
English womanhood thut she is not so very
far away from the tight llttlo island and tbo
scenes of her childhood.
In view of the fact thnt n number of germans -
mans are to bo given in the near future the
follow ing hints for favors mny not bo out of
place ;
Quo of the most unique Is a ciush hat
made In delicate satins after the latest stj lo
and nt exactly the some expense ns tbo regu
lation opera hat During tlio Jiguro the gen
tlemen will dnnco with these beautiful hits
of color under their arms and utter the ball
they will bo used as card rctoivcr , ash box or
wnsto Dii.sl.et.s. Tbo coricspouding favor for
the lady is n parasolctto of the sumo color as
the hat , drupcu w ith lace or net and mounted
on n long orook handle tied with ribbons.
" " Then there nro reins of painted ribbon
padded with sachet powder with na arm-
piccoat ono end nnd n fiingo of bells at tbo
other thnt aie sure to bo a "go" Opposite
dancers will bo harnessed In the nrmlots
Trnd driven aiound the ballroom by the lady
on the loft or gentleman on the right. These
reins nro three jnrds long and cost from J 3
to $10 n pair , according to the quality und
style of work. Another very novel favor
likely to become popular Is the cowl nud
clonk for the gentlemen nnu the hoods and
clonk for the ladies , woven in metal cloth ,
bullion gauze and gum , dlnmand dusted or
jewelled not. These transparencies will bo
ample enough to envelope the dancers , and
aspen Blocks , sheplicid ( .rooks and pilgrim
stuffd will complete the outtlt. While the
purses , curd cases , bonbounlcrcs , inntch
safes and stamp boxes nro not now iu design ,
they are presented In a style thnt Is both
novel nnd fnnciful , enamel , mosalo. ropousso ,
rarvcd leather and pniutcd porclaln being
used indiscriminately.
It is a peculiar fact thnt aomo women kill
flowers within twenly minutes after therm o
adjusted to the corsage. Others will wear
- thorn for hours and they w ill look as fresh as
when they weio first plunt > d on. A florist
sulu : "women wear llovvora sometimes be-
cnuso Ihcy aio vain , not because they love
them. They droop nnd mourn tneinsolvcs to
death , because they know there Is nothing in
common betw ecu them nnd the vvcurtT. They
nrolIUo llttlo children ; they love these who
love them , und their bostbrlghtcst beauty is
given to Iho woman who plus tlio boquct on
through her love for the /lowers. " A phvsl-
rlansald : "Certainly some women can kill
flowers within a very few minutes. Ills a
sure Indication that a poUonous vapor is es
caping from tlio body to a great degree. It
may bo the result of discoho , or it may bo
that bathing and proper care of the skin are
iicpleclcd. The body that is kept in wholesome -
some cleanliness will give now llfeto the flow
ers. A magnetic strength Is carried from too
wearer to iho llovvcr , and long after the
woman Is weary with nn afternoon's shopping
or calling llio flowers will smllo back ot bor
with tier own strength. She gives llfo to
the flowers through the sweetness of her
body. There 1s such n difference in women
about the care of the person. Some ot our
best dressed nnd wealthiest ladles are tno
most negligent , They seem to have no prldo.
There Is nothing moro dijccnmblo than this
dlsngard , 'ikey are cither Ignorant orun-
oonsdous of the fact or else they are with
out tue prldo that should go with Intelligence.
Flon era cuuuot llvo lu the poisonous vapor

All of the following numbers wcro very well

In Gounod's "Slumber Song. "
The entire entertainment was a pronounced
success , nnd the JOUHR Indies weio the re
cipients of many congratulations at tbo close
A. Picturesque Tournament.
A pretty nnd exccdingly animated spool
men of class woik w as offered at the Academy
of the Sacred Heart , Park Place , in ttio
novel form of n "Tournament in too Field of
General information. " The courteous com
bat was conducted In strict accordance with
all the laws nnd usages of medieval chivalry ,
and the joust was n moro "gentl'o and joyous
feat of arms" than any recorded In Scott's
hoioic pages.
Soveu fair champions , pupils of the second
English class , composed the array of emulous
knights , and the laculty aud scholars of the
academy formed the f > pectators. Four
heralds , from the graduating class , up-
poured with badges of ofllco , "Garter-
King-at-Arms , " proclaimlnR the nature and
conditions of the polite contest , the nn-
poitnncoof the occasion , the dignity of the
nudlcnco nnd the lofty loputatlon of tbo
forthcoming champions. k"Lion King-at-
Arms , " then throw open the folding doors
which screened the "doven champions of pro
gress , " nnd , while the third and fourth her
alds lea cacti combmutioii In turn to the cen
ter of the lists , "LIou" proclaimed the name ,
device , deeds and armorial bearings of the
sovotnl claimants.
The lady knights wore beautiful shields in
quaint designs of enamel , silver and gold ,
pretty swords und luuccs of silv or and enamel ,
fastened to their sides by gny ribbons. Tbo
first challenger drew from an urn , nt the
herald's ulgiiul , a card bearing live questions ,
and from another urn n card in
scribed with the immo of another
knight , who , thus challenged , became
the defendant. The challenger made the in-
tei rogations rapidly , by her chance sent
card , and the oppaier was expected to respond
spend with equal alacrity. If the respondent
hesitated or failed , It was hnr sad duty to
hunt ! her lance , tbo first forfeited trophy , to
her fair foe. 'J. he challenger must then reply
to the remaining questions on the card her
self , or , falling to do this , baud both her own
lance nnd tbo captuied weapon , ton knight
whoso nnmo she herself must draw bv lot.
So the brilliant joust ran on , displaying , cer
tainly , un amount nnd a variety of informa
tion unexpected in jouug ladles of sixteen.
The range of Interrogation was as
quaint , ns vniicd and as ingcnlus as
the scheme lUt'lf was novel nnd
striking. In one card might chance to
be a quotation , the author of which was de
manded , followed by tbo requisition of a date
In history ; succeeded by the name of n char
acter in lletion , creator and book to bo
named ; after which might bo presented a
Latin motto or verso for translation ; thou
the origin of some quaint naino or custom
might bo solicited ; or u question nsiccd as to
the works of great painters , poets , novelists ,
historians or architects , or queiles on our
owu civil government , or explanations of
some question of the day , etc. When u
knight ] had been so unfortunate us to have
forfeited lance , sword nnd shield by three
failures , she was hors du combat , but ,
happily , such defeat was not , In the dcciocs
of fate , reserved for any of tkcso charming
champions of progress.
After nn hour and a half of splendid
prowess , wherin some wounds were iutllotod
but no belligerent foiccd ft am the Held the u in-
plros declared a drawn battle , and three prizes
w era awarded to the tin ea victors who had
escaped without oven n sword scratch from
UiO'lmrd fought "Field of General Informa
tion , " The lirst prize w as verv appropriately ,
"latest poems , " nnd was placed In thohauds of
Miss Mary Hegun. The second was Irvlug's
"Knickerbocker papers'1 and recompensed
the efforts of Miss llinim Lemon. The third
was ' 'Gumboil's jxjems , " and was well merited
by Miss Anna Getty. The following young
ladies wcro eminently dcsorv Ing of honorable
mention : Mlssos Greenwood , FisherMyers
and Hclmrod. Tbo ordeal was severe , but
the \lctory was a veritable triumph to the
"seven champions , " n singular satisfaction
to tholr teachers , aud no doubt , a great
pleaura to their many friends.
