"Como over this afternoon and see what

society miss In response to the question of
what she was preparing for yuletlde
The maid ushered me Into the library
where a group of eix of the gayest and most
popular devotees of society were beated on
the floor about a bucket of candy nnd nuts.
They were making pink tarlton stockings
and filling them with confections while they
gayly laughed nnd gossiped of the holiday
bride.
"You Bee , " said Miss Hostess , "no are
Feeing what It is to bo goody good. We
each eanied , with emphasis on the earned ,
"two dollars apiece and with that wo are
preparing poor baskets. "
"They look anything * but poor , " I sug
gested , as I caught a glimpse of ono holding
a. fat turkey , a big loaf of bread , potatoes ,
canned goods , toys and candy.
"I mean they are for poor families. Sat
urday night wo nro going to rig out one
as Santa Claus nnd the others as his wives.
Too bad to make Santa a polygamlst In his
old age , but wo all hae to go "
"Why not have a trial afterwards ? " said
Miss Knowledge , "nnd unseat Santa for
polygamy. "
"I am thinking I shall bo unseated long
before that if you drive , " retorted Miss
Hostess.
"Oh , I hope It snows , " and we shall have
bells and horns nnd "
"There will bo belles at any rate , " said
Miss Pert.
"And horns , too , " eaid Miss Knowledge ,
"Horns of plenty. "
"Hut , girls , I think we ought to have a

"A man ! " shouted a chorus of six voices
"Can't jou exlat without a man one evenIng -
Ing ? " went on Miss Hostess. "It Is n secret
and what man can keep a secret ? Besides ,
don't let > our left hand know what your

"As who ? " from the chorus
"Oh , well , may be It was pomeone else , bul

"Oh , don't ! Never mind the author , " Iron
the chorus.
"I did not say that , " cried Miss Sweet
while the girls shrieked with delight.
"Keep them for the cotillion , so we dhal
Know you , " laughed Miss I'm.
"Going back to the wedding , girls , " img-
geotcd Miss Hostess. "Won't they make ;

same , before taking inventory I will
offer my entire stock at a reduction
of 20 per cent as there has been

marked in plain figures , a child can buy from us , every ar
ticle warranted as represented or money back. This is
an opportunity , where you can make an investment which
