WHAT TO BUY FOR THE MEN
lorn Kovakiii in Christmas Gifts Appro

ARTICLES OF PRACTICAL USEFULNESS
Jewels Rich and Kara, and Many
Moderately Priced, Calculated to
Pleaae Bachelor, Benedict 4
or Bona.
The greatest pussle at Christmas time
I to ' think of something appropriate to
buy for the men. Their tastes are so pe
culiar' and there are so few things which
they seem really to want. . If they ar
asked to say what they would like to hav
they usually look hopeless and presently
give up th oonundrum.
Sonslble women nowadays who wish to
remember relative and friend of the male
sex at the holiday season try to discover
things that will really be of soma practical
usefulness. It Is so discouraging to give
a man something which (after accepting it
with much hypocritical show of thanks) he
throws Into an out-of-the-way comer and
forget. There are always articles, appro
priate to the dally use of the masculine
brute, which he actually wants and would
set value upon, if only on could know.
Popular men. especially if they ar bach
elor, usually have more pairs of slipper

than they know what to do with. A for
suspenders, It Is ten to one that they much
prefer plain to embroidered ones, and no
woman can with any degree of confidence
pick out a man's neckties. It she tries,
the chances are that he will never wear
them. The creature ha fixed notions about
such matters, and It "la Impossible to teach
him anything on the subject. So far n
'cigar are concerned, women, outside of
the comic papers, rarely venture to pur
chase them for husband, brother or lover.
In these days, to supply the Christmas
demand for gifts which the men will ap
preciate, th shops make quite a specialty
of novelties of the kind. The Jewelers have
In stock gold suspender buckles, which any
male person who takes pride In his apparel
is likely to be proud of. Occasionally such
buckles ar ornamented with geins, and In
that case th price of them may run up
indefinitely high.
Their are seal rings in which th seal
turns back, like th lid of a locket, disclos
ing a tiny mlnlatur. Another kind of ring,
which 1 a very costly novelty, contains a
little watch in th place ordinarily occupied
by a seal. It Is certainly the handiest way
of carrying a watch ever Invented, so far
as quick discovery of the time of day goes,
and might be particularly appropriate for a
business man wtth many engagement. In
carf pin the newest thing Is an exceed
ingly small mlnlatur painted on Ivory
and covered by a magnifying glass, which
gives to th picture, th appearano of a
cameo.
Shavlag Teal.
There ar few men nowadays who do nit
hav themselves, and., though most of
them seem to be contented with the shab
biest sort of apparatus, It Is noticeable that
they are highly appreciative of handsome
sets for shaving, such a are aold at th
jewelry shops. A woman can hardly go '
wrong In th purchase of . things of this
kind, and th cost of them varle widely ,
enough to suit all purses. Bom acta there,1
ar of aolld silver, which are very expen- J
Ive, the mug and other articles being ao-I
tualljr udUated In gold, walls the shaving J
brush haa a cylindrical stiver case Into
which It fits when not In use. But appara
tus of thl extravagant sort Is only for th
very rich, and the average man would cer
tainly prefer something a little lees gor
geous and more practical.
A novelty Is a silver-handled razor with
a blade for each day In the week the
whole put up In a handsome leather case.
Safety razors and blades for those who
have never had the eourage and patience to
learn to scrape their faces with the proper
instrument, are to be had with silver
mountings, In leather or silver boxes. As
for shaving mirror, they are of many pat
tern. One kind ha a dink-shaped glass
which may be readily set at any angle
while th handle Is being held In the hand.
Another, which Is a very beautiful alTalr,
haa a circular frame attached to a stand,
adjustable at any angle, with plain mirror
In one side of It and a magnifying mirror
on the other, while beneath are silver cups
for soap and hot water.
Nightcap Sets.
The gifts for men which ' one sees In
the shop appear mostjy to cater to mas
rline vices. For example, there is a
"nightcap .t," so-called, which consists
of a dainty cut glass jug held in a silver
frame, together with two little silver cups.
This is appropriate for th tsklng of a
parting "snifter" with a friend Just before
going to bed. The latest cut glass recejv.
tacles for whisky take the form of demi
john and old-fashioned Jugs common
place and practical In shape, but of the
most exquislt orystalltn material
On of ' the cuteit novelties 1 a little
spherical lamp of silver attached to th
end of a deer' horn, mounted In the am
metal. It Is a clgar-llghter, and Is so con
trived that It Is always upright, no mat
ter how the deer-horn handle is held. The
lamp Is filled with cottonwool saturated
with oil.
Equally new Is a cigarette holder with
a silver attachment which, when sprung
outward, enables the holder to stand up
at aa angle on any surface where It may
be V'UL Thus th clyi-etta (so much
dreaded by many a houacwlf as th caus.
of accidental damage), la prevented from
burning table or cloth.
A silver holder for a night lamp, de
signed for the coming holiday season, Is
provided with a glass bullseye, behind
which Mr. Bachelor, when he comes home
late, hangs his watch on a hook. The
bullseye, which Is a lens, magnifies the
face of the watch, so that the gentleman
can see what time it Is at a glanoe if he
happens to wake up, simply by xtriklng
a match and Igniting the wick of the night
light Not to be forgotten is a box to hold a
pack of cards, made in the shape of an
ace of clubs, with a silver lid. But when
It comes to cards, there Is no end of
poker 'and bridge novelties available, and,
if one care to pay $76 or $100, one may
obtain a set of "chips" made of beautiful
mother-of-pearl, red, blue and white.

Vp to Date Advertising:.
It is a surprise to find some of the newest
methods of advertising In common practice
In Russia. Indeed the trick of the trade
there are perfectly understood. A New
York business man connected with one of
the largest advertising agencies Is authority
for the following story. He was In St
Petersburg on a crowded street when his
attention was attracted by a forlorn little
boy, ragged and apparently half starved,
who wa crying bitterly.
"What's the matter little boyT" he asked.
A crowd quickly collected about them.
Th boy continued to cry until the crowd
had thickened, when, he raised a shrill
voice and repeated the following formula:
"flease, sir. I em lost. Will anybody
take me to my father, Ivan Troubetskoy,
the champion clothier of the east end, who
has Just got In a stork of autumn over
coats, suits, neckties, shirt, hat and
umbrell.is, which he will sell cheaper than
any one in the city?" New York Herald.
A Worthy ICnUeavor.
It was Saturday night. As we passed the
church door we heard sounds Indicating
that a sermon was being delivered within.
W stepped In. Our old minister was mak
ing an earnest address to the empty pews.
"Why, what are you doing?" w asked
in surprise. .
"I am endeavoring," he answered with
great dignity, "to practice what I preach."

USES A RIGHTEOUS DECEIT
Lawyer Tells How He Saved His Client
a Lot of Trouble and
Some Cash.
"Our cleverest work," sold the old lawyer
remJnlsce'ntly, "is not always done In
court."
"No?" said the young man Inquiringly.
"Possibly you could give an Illustration."
"Undoubtedly I could," replied the old
lawyer. "In fact, I was thinking of the
case of an irascible old fellow who once
kicked a servant out of the house. I be
lieve there was s difference of opinion as
to the amount of wages the man was enti
tled to. At any rate, th testy old gentle
man put himself In the wrong when he
ejected the man with violence of both lan
guage and action and the man was smart
enough to know It
"He bunted up a lawyer Immediately and
put the caae In hi hand and then I was
called In. The wrathy old fellow was mad
clear through and he was going to fight the
case all th way up to the highest court
and back again If necessary. He was a
personal friend of mine and I didn't want
to see him wsats his money foolishly, ao
I advised him to compromise It
" 'Not If he offers to compromise for 1'
cents,' he asserted vociferously. 'I'll fight
this case clear to the limit no matter what
It costa'
"I argued with him, but It was no use.
He'd pay me anything I wanted to fight the
caae, but he wouldn't pay the plaintiff a
cent. I would have been JumlnY-d under th
circumstance in going ahead and ' letting
him run Into a lot of expensive and useless)
litigation, but I didn't Ilk to do It So I
weal to se ths lawyer en th other aid.
lie knew he had a good case, but he also
knew that my client had lots of money and
could make a prolonged and costly fight.
Consequently he waa Inclined to be reason
able. He hunted up his client and talked
it over with him and the client said he
