0 There are in the world some people from whom we heap annually the groaning vroclamation that Christmas should be abolished . San- ta Claus is too old and too mytholog- ical to be going about the world Jook- ing so hale and so happy. They would have him interred with other myths that the world has outgrown or supplanted. Think of it—the same Santa Claus who made life worth living when we were children and thereby guilelessly coaxed into growing up! queer us Of course, if Santa C(laus were dead—well, no doubt he is dead to some people, those who go through the ceremony of giving and receiv- ing from a sense of duty or the force of habit. They say Christmas is a bother to them. No doubt it is. And yet, the very people who make the most of Christmas are not the ones who call it a bother. In times and places where life is simple, all holidays are given much attention. There isn’t any talk about keeping them sane. The people are sane most of the time and they welcome a chance to be a bit insane, whether with generosity, partiotism or sheer merry-making. You see, that is one thing that is the matter with us; we are not sane enough in our everyday life. When a day draws near which has heen set aside as a great day, some of the most rushed and worried of us say, “‘Oh, for goodness sake, don't ask me to do anything else. What is the use’ of having Christmas anyway?" Yes, | there isn’t much fun in getting ex- cited over Christmas when you have| been excited over other things all the' rest of the year. But it may be that we need Christ- mas; that it has a value in our lives beyond the value of some of the oth- er things that we cling to while we talk of giving up Christmas. Christ mas with all its bother may be worth while. For one thing, we need to set a day apart for this and that worthy purpose; we who are most hurried and worried need most the special seasons. ‘I can give my friends presents any time; 1 don’t need to wait until Christmas,” you say, and the only thing wrong with the ar- gument is that you do wait until| Christmas and if Christmas did not approach and prod you in the ribs' you wouldn’t give anybody any pres- | ents. We need special days for spe- cial deeds, or those deeds would have small chance of ever being done. There is, also, the pretty talk ad- | vanced from time to time about hav- ing Christmas all year. Some people make fun of us for having a carni- val of giving once a year and then subsiding into more or less indiffer- ence. They think we should spread our Christmas over all the 365 days. | Christmas would )‘0‘1!\" What if we did? be spoiled forever. A level would be quite as uninteresting as a level world.

No cutting is nec- ! essary, for the clinging crepe may be manipulated into the most graceful lines, one corner of the shawl being caught against one shoulder, and the main portion of the shawl almost cov- ering a foundation skirt of white satin. A specially beautiful shawl of this sort over one hundred years old, according to its possessor's statement, has been made into an evening wrap, a deep burnoose hood at the back ta- king up the material so that the fringed front edges fall gracefully over shoulders and arms. Tango rose may be had in crepe meteor, crepe de chine, chiffon crepe, silk and wool lans- downe, and other fabrics of similar quality, suitable for handsome blouses and frocks. 1 | Ladies, send tne combings from your hair to me and let me make you a beautiful switch.

Will Do Away With the Necessity of “Weeding Out” Collection That Has Become Too Large for Convenient Handling. In these days of amateur photog- raphy, photographs have the knack of collecting in such large numbers that it ather diflicult to know what to do with all of them, but one way out of the difficulty is to make a dainty little case for holding some of them, This little novelty is made in cream- colored satin and lined with white Japanese silk and edged with a pale pink silk cord carried into three little loops at each corner. It is intended for holding cabinet portraits, and when closed measures 8 inches by b% inches. The case should be stiffened with a piece of cardboard sewn in between the satin and lining at the back. The edge of the pocket is bound with narrow ribbon of a color exactly matching the silk cord, and the word “Photographs” is embroidered across the case in silk of a similar color. The remaining space is filled up with a simple design of two white daisies and leaves worked in various shades of green. Pale pink ribbon strings are provided to secure the case when closed. This case looks very decorative ond pretty upon a table, and the portraits are easily accestible to anyone who | desires to inspeci them, and at the | same time, when placed in the case, | they are well protected from dust and dirt, and they will keep in good condi- tion. | | s A | | | RECEIVER'S NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the un ders ed aas been appointed receiv- | er of the White Furniture Co. and no person is authorized to collect any bills or accounts due said company other than the receiver and all per- sons are warned not to pay any, amount to any other person, if so they will have to pay same again and all persons collecting said ac- extent of the law.
