The approach of Cnrlstmns brings to
the front the familiar vexing problem
the selection of presents. To the heads
of the homo it Is a trying one , especially
If now and striking gifts are sought.
The oldera have exhausted the range of
useful nnd appropriate things , and to
them the annual return of the custom
is of increasing gravity.
The solution of the problem depends
largely on the size of the purse. If the
latter possofsos a healthy , prosperous
aspect , there Is llltlo dllllculty oxperf-
onccd In procuring acceptable gifts.
Stores are filled with articles that
tempt the tnsto of the giver , and will
substantially roelueo the store of cash.
To those of moderate means , however ,
a fo.w timely hints will prov o helpful.

It Is hard to soled presents for those
who have passed the "sunny" side of
life nnd who no longer t'iko tin active
interest in Us frivolities , its fads and its
changes of fashion.
Grandma and grandpa are dear old
people , with henrU na voting as the
youngest nnd minds capable of enjoying
everything. Uut ono can scarcely
expect grandpa to begin wearing a now
Btylo watch chain in a now way ; nor will
grandma want a set of the new-fangled
hairpins.
"Such things are pretty on youim
people , " say grandma nnd grandpa ,
with a smile and a slph. "But the old
way is best for us after nil. "
What , then , can one select for the oc
cupants of the armchair : ' What can one
civo them which will bo just the thing
needed for comfort and luxury')1 )
To begin with , a clock is always nn ac
ceptable present. It need not be an ex
pensive ono , nor a showy ono , aa long as
it has a big , plain face and a pair of
hands which point out the time a long
way off. Do not got a loud ticker , and
do try to find 0110 which will run a week
without winding.
Both grandma and grandpa like nlco
pocket handkerchiefs. Notice the kind
I- which seems to bo a favorite with
fe - grandpa and got him half a dozen just
like them with his initial done in big
letters upon ono corner. Letgrnndma'b
bo of lace , as delicate as you can afford.
Grandp.x does not care for many orna
ments , but he is fond of n nice necktie.
Get him ono or two , just like those ho
usually wears , and give them to him
with a gold letter pin btanding for his
last name , which can bo used for a scarf
pin if ho fancies it.
Always humor grandpa's taste a little ,
because' ho probably knows to a nicety
what pleases him , and it is kind and
delicate to fall in with his wishes.
Grandpa probably has a cauc. But
has ho n nice black silk umbrella ? Has
ho a storm coatV Docs ho own a pair of
\ i the now kind of high cloth ovorshoosV
Has ho a pair of lined gloves for cold
weather ? Has ho a cap which sits
snugly on his head when the wind
blows ?
Notice the styles in those things ,
gently sound his tastes and buy accord
ingly.
A cup nnd saucer , an oatmeal sot , n
handsome goblet , a deep blue boor mug
no matter what may bo grandpa's
principles a handsome plate for fruit ,
ornumunts for his table and nice , warm
foot rugs nro very sure to bo appreci
ated by him.
If ho likes to emoko.notico the style ol
his favor'.to pipe and got another just
like it. Get him a pound of his favorite
tobacco nnd put it in a fine tobacco jug.
r i Give him n few bottles of wine if ho is
in the habit of taking a little "for tlu
stomach's sake , " and send along a fancj
tin box containing the best fruit cuke
yon can buy or mako.
So much'for gtandpal
Grandma likes neck trimmings If thoj
bo after her stylo. Observe and sclec
the right things. Tiuco a gold dollui
nnd have your initial pui on it. IIav
it mndo into a pin and you may be sure
grondmn will trcasuro'it as long as she
lives.
Give grandma a few yards of fine
broad laue for her caps , her neckerchiefs
chiefs or her aprons. Buy material foi
a pretty house dress for her , and lot ho
have the pleasure of making It up inti
a gown.
If she has no chair of her own in tin
dining room , give her ono which will hi
moro comfortable , perhaps , than tin
dining chairs. Give her an iudlvidua
Bet of prolty plates , cup and saucer am
butter ( llsh for her own uso. Notice i
Bho has plenty of cushions and foot
stoo'is in her room.
Give her three or four pots of hya
clntbs not yet bloomed , or if she be i
BOini-ln valid a bird in a golden cage , or
mayhap , a jar of gohl fl&h would inter
est hor. < p >
Grandma loves pretty pictures. 1
wootfneod child in a white frame. /
group of graceful pels or an etching o
something quaint and interesting al
these things ploaeo her.
There are litllo creature-comforts , too
of which grandma is very fond. Sin
could mnko use of a tiny gas Btovu fo
warming teas and broths. And a broil
cup , with n saucer which fits on top. 1
euro to bo treasured. Warm , soft slip
pore , gay to beheld ; lambs wool .pottl
co.Utf , snug woolen jackets and grea
elowny robes for the bath are dcemoi
very delightful forgramlma , whoshoul
have every simple luxury.
Both giandmnand grandpa have foi
bles. You probably know what the
ate , Watch for them and then It wll
bo easy to select your gift.
So suppose you take a strip of llaniu
onu ( null wide , roll it round nnd roun
smoothly , aa u surgeon rolls a bandngi
until the roll is purhapa eight or nin
inches in circumference , and of court
ono inch thick. Cover It on both side
with acovor made from the wrists of yov
half-worn gloves. uhoe < slng those of
pretty shade of tan rather than an ;
thing lighter , embroidered in a claim

yellow or rose , Iio around the circle
uatln ribbon the color of the embroil
orod onu. with jnnt a tiny little bow t
* the top , holding a ring crocheted ov <
with silk. Stick the ribbon full of blue
pins in n pattern , not too largo pin
you know , and plopty of good stron
whlto ones on the bides , and you wi
have a convenient llttlo affair that at
man will enjoy packing in his grip i
having on his desk or bureau , And
i r i the man you like has any kind of a era :
K | Which calls for the wearing of kn <
breeches , the nicest present in tl
world Is a pair of long silk stocking
if knitted ol turong , firm silk , all by yet
own fair hands. Knitting is coinln
Injo fashion again , It Is such a prutl

And there nro most beautiful blnck
nnd while silk suspenders , with cold

prco patterns , nnd corkscrews fitted

lltllo silver checks for the name on

collators , besides the hat murks and
coat murks , necktie fasteners and all
the smoking nud desk nppurloiianccE.
HoshlcH , you know , a mini likes all the
dainty soaps and perfumes , toilet
waters and sweet-smelling things that
women suppose him to nivvo n eoul
above.
Hints for < llrl ,
If you are not an adopt at "making
things. " save your' pennies to buy n
good knife , with n corkscrew , a pair of
scissors and a button hook attachment.
It will bo appreciated by its masculine
recipient.
A girl with a taste for needlework
can manufacture a pair of silver-mounted
suspenders that will cost only half the
sum demanded for them In the store.
Nearly every man likes a clock for his
drcssltijr tublc. You can , if you are in
genious , get oneof the little dollar
clocks nnd glorify it by mounting It in a
woodou framework , upon which you
have written a motto in liquid gold.
Giver n man the biggest and squarcst
paper basket you can lind. Coax It into
elegance by liberal coats of white onntnul
paint nnd plant upon one side of it n
"splashing" bow.
If there is a "pottery bakery" within
reach get one of the good natured work
men to turn oil a pair of beer steins for
you and decorate them yourself with
dashes of Pompciian red and Dutch
blue :
A tiny brass chain with a largo and
very sharp pair of scissors attached
makes an acccptablo present for n
literary friend with a mania for "clip
pings. " Lot tlio chain have a largo
screw attached to the end for fasteninc
to n desk.
Men like , more than people give them
credit for liking , pretty pots of growing
( lowers , llnely illustrated books , orna
ments for the bureau nnd dresser , em
broidered handkerchiefs and night
slfirts , perfumes , fancy soaps , sachels
and all kinds of sweet smelling things ,
as well as good brush brooms , hand
satchels and traveling rugs.
A very useful gift for a gentleman is a
chest protector , which can bo made of
blnck satin and lined with quilted Batin
or silk. The edge is bound with ribbon.
It is to ba worn with n dress coat in cold
weather to guard against taking cold.
To I'leiihO Your Huttrr Half.
The lijt of desirable gifts may beheaded
headed with an nrtialo which is per
fectly sure to please. No doubt about
ill What is it ? Vlly , a fine nmbrolla ,
of course. Select if you can a handle
which matches your wife's winter cos
tume. You know in winter a woman
carries an umbrella two or throe days
in a week , so make the gift such a pretty
one that it will bo an ornament and not
a burden ,
Wives havp a great fondness for nice
furs. If your wife is wearing black gar
ments , and if you fool sure that she has
not bought u muff for two or three
years , get her a sable muff , or a Persian
lamb one , or a mink muff trimmed with
cunning little heads and tails. Or gel
her a now-fashioned boa. And if she
dresses in colors there are many benutl
ful fur and feather neck trimmings
which women like and which are to be
bought of all dealers.
Wives are sentimental , too. Thoj
dearly lo o presents that seem to cotm
directly from the heart and which arc
such as no ono else could pos&lbly give
A crayon picture of yourself , life sizi
and tastefully framed , would make r
very loving gift. A link bracelet will :
your pot name for her engraved ujior
the insluo of it , would bo appreciates
and so would one of thp now and prottj
rings which seem specially designed foi
love gifts.
A wife , with a woman's true unsolllsh
ness , is pleased with gifts which arc
meant quite as much for the family
as for herself. An encyclopedia will
all Its volumes complete , for example
or an unabridged dictionary , or a npv
table for the sitting room , a tublo will
a shelf underneath and a top large
enough to do duty for all the ovcnini
occupations would bo well received b\
hor.
Wives like pretty furniture. Tliuj
like brass bedsteads ; they have a fool
ing almost akin to love for drcssliif
tables nnd dressing bureaus , and the' '
may bo said to feel a species of householi
adoration for divans , low book-cases
carved paper stands and music racks.
These things sound very grand am
expensive. Ltut , really , they are not expensive
pensive at all. You cun buy a very pro
sen tublo specimen of almost any of tin
things just mentioned for a sum withii
the limits of u ten-dollar bill.
Wives nro very fond ot gloves. Per
hups they are moro so than ono would a
first suppose , for the roabou that n wo
man who has a husband and a famil ;
to provide for docs not as readily speni
money for gloves us does the ono wh
lias herself alone to buy for.
Wives are delighted to bo prosonto
with llltlo things which show love am
thoughtfulncbs.
A great pot of plants for the parlo
window , a gaily striped hammock wit
brass hooka and fastenings , a giant sof ;
pillow , which can bo uxud also as a foe
rest ; a tall , slender , screen artUtleall
docointcd , a now drapery for the mm
tel , a llagdad curtain to throw over th
perhaps faded couch , a pair of fur-lino
slippers for cOld days , a standard { ami
a decanter nnd glasses , a throo-winge
dressing glass for the slocping-rooi
wall , a biibscrlptlun to a homo ningr
zino , a picture often admired hut neve
before owned , a little journey eouth , c
money to buy a now winter gown nr
each and all of thorn things whioh
wife is sure to like. ,
Strange as It-may seem , in view of th
fact that they spend so little upon sue
things , wtvcs are wonderfully fond <
jeweled trlllos , A tiny watch to b
worn on the waist , quito inoxpnnsiv
but very fashionable , pleases a womnt
The pansy breastpin with a nonrl dev
drop upon the innermost leaf makes
neat llttlo gift. A jeweled bug.for th
bonnet Btrlngs is cherished far boyon
his bufiship's value , while n jowelo
hat pin is preserved until a woman gel
too old to go out and wear a hut
There are few Christmas present
nero pleasing thnn tjioso of chntolnln
wutchos. They rnngo in size from al
surd llttlo ornaments , hardly ns Inrg
as hnzol nuts , nnd encrusted with jew
ols. to watches nbout an Inch or an fuel
nnd a eiunrtor in diameter. A woman'
viUoh is very apt to bo a piece of frivol
ly , but for practical uselessness th
chalolnino watch surpassed nil others
n the nuturo of things it hju bolng con
iiumlly knocked nbout nnd cannot kco
correct tlmo , but It is picturesque. It I

ty nnd contradiction of It pleases "m ;

It Is dinieult to cheese n present for i
oung girl. She Is usually so clover a
unking things that to give her em
mtlduriou nnd paintings done on sill

own hnndlwork.
Of course every ono is pleased by i
Christmas gift , no matter what the glf
nay bo. But in making a selection I
B very nice to cheese something whlcl
ins about It the stamp of novelty. Girl
Iko silver things for the dresser or tin
owing table. Give a girl a llttlo silvc
hitnblo case shaped like a nut , a per
umo bottle of silver filigree , a sllvo
cold-cream box , a silver candlestick o
i silver tray for pin ? .
Give her ono of the now style fcatho
nns , with just four very dashing plume
nit. Give her a china silk haudkor
chief , edged with real lace. Give ho
a china silk tea gown of real Chines

If you want to delight her buy th
Inest , largest perfume atomizer in th
-tore. And see that its decorations ar
n accord with the dressing table whlo'
t is to adorn. Sots of embroidered sachc
) : igs , seven in a sot , are enthusiastlcall
welcomed , and so are glass bonboi
waos , silken sweetmeat boxes an
Jjiesden china fruit plates for the "cos
oom" table.
If you are very fond of your girl frion
cave an order at the florist's for roses t

imits of the purse strings , order th
atost magazine to be left at her door fo

Bomo amusement .which you know sh
covets.
Lot her gift bo individual. Let it b
something which scorns to say , "To yo

mt pin , a gold bow for her hair , with :
icarl drop ncstlintr in its depths , a sc
if "jeweled" hairpins , link buttons cor
nining your initial and hers , cull pin
or her dress sleeves , a jeweled buckle
; ny with brilliants ; a breastpin with a
deal face sot on it , or a cunning gel
'lifter" to hold up her dress skirt.
Girls like pretty red slipr/ors an
stockings just to match. Glrls'liko oil
botstools , dainty willow chairs , spindle
egged desks , spindle-logged tables , gel
candy tongs , silver stamp boxes an
nanicuro sots , of course , and hand
glasses , too , as many as you cheese t
jive.
Got the present in time to have i

desk should have your Initials and her
on 'ono corner of the blotter. The self

If you give her a purse bo sure to put

Kcuniboy is sometimes very thoughtful (
Hher people's comfort , although sometime
iio is not , says Harper's Young People. H

curious to know how early it was. Ivcanin
over his papa's car he whispered softly ial
it , "Pupa , what time is it ? "
So soft was the whisper that papa ncvi
seemed to hear it , but slept peacefully o :
and so ICcnniboy tried it again.
"Papa , look at your watch and tell n
what time it is , please , " ho whispered.
Tills time p.ip.i was awakened.
"Oh , dear , Kcuniboy , " ho said , rubbing h
eyes sleepily , "I'll never grow beautiful
you wako mo out of my beauty sleep th
way every morning. "
"I didn't mean to wnko you up , " said tl
boy.
" 13ut you were talking in my ear , " r
turned papa. "How could you expect to t
that without waking me ? "
"I wasn't talkla1 I was only whispcria'

what time it is , and I whispered BO'S y <

Bishop Wilson of Culcuttn was : i very cc-
ccutrio divino. Hia sermons wore very
racy. Preaching against dishonesty ,
especially in horsetlobli , as one of tlio great
English failings in India , he went on : "Nor
are we , servants of tlio altar , free from
yielding to this temptation. " Pointing to
the occupant of tlio reading desk below him :
' There is my dear and venerable brother ,
tlio archdeacon , hitting down there ; hois an
instance of it. Ho once sold mo a horse ; it
was unsound. 'I was a stranger , and he took

Utah and asked a llttlo girl if she know who
Christ was. She replied : "O , yes , sir , ho
was a man. " Fearing th.it she might have
an impression that Christ was more human
than divine , Bishop Leonard asked her what
kind of a man ho was nnd if Christ was any
thing like hinibclf. "Oh , no , " sue replied , "ho
was a good man. "
