CHAFING DISHES
FOR HOSTESSES
Winter entertaining means more
buffet f uppers and serving more
hr t food. The true test of a host
ess is to serve a tempting hot dish
from her buffet and for that dish
to be just as hot for the last guest
, as for the first. Perhaps she has
hesitated getting the dish for her
self because so many of the chafing
dishes are too modem to blend in
nicely with her other table appoint
ments. This year get an antique
chafing dish that sets over a hot
water container. Every hostess
would love one.
CARRYALL BAG
FOR SPORTSMAN
One of the finest guts vou could
give a sportsman is a carryall bag.
And one of the handiest and best
made is a lightweight affair of
brown canvas with saddle leather
, bottom and trim—big enough to
carry everything but his hunting
dog!
With zipper closing, full leather
| strapped overflap, it's as sleek as
his gun.
If sjie goes ice skating she will
have a skating skirt of velvet or
I corduroy.

DAY FOR CHILD,
CHRISTMAS DAY
December the 25th Is the Day
of the Child.
It Is upon this day of clays that
countless men and women and lit
tle children barely able to speak
their language utter the great re
joicing. For unto us a child Is
corn, unto us a Son is given.
Even those who hold creeds in
which there is no Christmas feel
the splendor of that cry and those
who have no formal creed at all,
still known there is one of the 365
portions of the year which is es
sentially the Day of the Child.
It is the day when even the most
unsentimental adult long since con
gealed and hardened by the years,
can hear in his heart, the foot
steps of the little ones. Today
they are running about as eagerly
ail over the world pattering to see
what good gifts may have been
received, ardent with a hope any
young hearts can feel.
On this day the austere scien
tist who has almost quit believ
ing in the very laws of astronomy
which recently seemed as sure and
stable, but which now seem dis
solving in a mist of relativity—
this careful professional skeptic
becomes as a child himself, and
considers it haeddidnfe ir
considers it hard indeed if he can
not believe In Santa Claus, the
bearded fairy godfather of the
children.
“Almighty God. heavenly Father,
who hast blessed us with the joy
and care of children. Give us light
and strength so to train them that
they may love whatsoever things
t
With most sincere wishes that you
may enjoy a truly Merry Christmas
and that the New Year will bring
the blessings of peace and happiness

Christmas Spirit
Interrupts War
Despite the horror and suffering
among World war soldiers, the
spirit of Christmas was not kept out
of the trenches.
In “A German Deserter’s War Ex
perience,” the author, an anti-gov
ernment Socialist, tells of a Christ
mas celebration on the Argonne
front.
“Christmas in the trenches! It
was bitterly cold. We had procured
a pine tree and decorated it with
candles and cookies.
“At midnight the whole line of
German soldiers began to sing
Christmas songs in chorus.
"The French left their trenches,
and, quite overpowered with emo
tion, stood with caps in hand. We
exchanged gifts with the French—
chocolate, cigarettes, etc. They
were all laughing, and so were we;
why, we did not know.
"All around silence reigned. The
charm continued, and one scarcely
dared to speak. Suddenly a shot
rang out, then another. The spell
was broken. All rushed to their ri
flles. Our Christmas was over.”
TOO BUSY
i
r
Tagg.
"I shall hope to catch you under
the mistletoe Christinas eve."
“If you do, I warn you now. I’ll
be too busy to see you.”
First Settlers in Virginia
Had a Joyous Christmas
Although thousands of miles from
their native homes, the first Virgin
ians did what they could to observe
Christmas day. But there were no
women, no' children and no families
in those first few years.
Despite this handicap. Captain
John Smith writes "that the first
Christmases were very merry. The
extreme wind, rayne, frost and snow
caused us to keep Christmas among
the savages wheere we weere never
more merry, nor fed on more plen
ty of good oysters, fish, flesh, wild
fowl and good bread, nor never had
better fires In England."
"LITTLE GIFTS” I
ARE NUMEROUS
Vest pocket gifts will be nu
merous this year.
Besides fountain pens and pen
cils there are several novel and
useful articles which he can clip
to his vest pocket, such as sterling
silver, engraved combination pencil
and ruler, $13.50; nail knife and
file, $3.50, and cigarette holder,
$7.50.

BADGE BFF.AST
One of the strangest surviving
Christmas customs is the badger
feast held at Ilchester. Somerset.
It was started by poachers in Nor
man times, says the Montreal Her
ald. and has continued without a
break The lads of the village catch
a badger, kill and dress it some
time before the feast. On Christmas
Eve it is strung on a spit over a
huge fire at the inn and cooked
slowly.
CHRISTMAS HANDKERCHIEFS
When all other Rift Ideas fall
you, there are always the old
standbys—handkerchiefs. There are
almost as many ways of making
them dainty and attractive as there
are friends to receive them They
are very pretty with drawm threads
and a touch of embroidery in the
corner, or plain. There are also
squares of colored linen, with a
net footing of black or white.
