Somehow one always looks to them to be, above all else, big-hearted and truly charitable, and old David Holden is not disap pointing in this or any other respect. Margery Wilson heads the support ing cast. She is the girl whose lover is called to war and because of this her child is born out of wedlock, which is something in which the vil lagers find sufficient grounds for ac cording her no sympathy whatever, even without hearing any of the cir cumstances she has had to contend with. Jane's marriage to young Benson is prohibited by his parents, who are her guardians. Robert does not learn that she will become a mother until the day set for his regiment to leave for the front, and then it is too Jate in Ha mnrrifwl. Thn child is horn in a London charity hospital, and as Jane j J is untune to support ncrseu anu me baby, too, sho returns to ask the lighthouse keeper to care for it. lie insists upon her remaining with him. This angers the villagers and they pe tition the government to remove Dave from his position as keeper of the East Light, and this is a severe blow to the kindly Dave, but the end finds him happy, for Jane's lover returns; he was wounded, not killed, as the re port had it. The piece was given a splendid pro duction by Walter Edwards. The street scenes in the village and those showing action occurring at night are impressive.

A SOCK FULL OF CHRISTMAS FUN A Suggestion For the Hostess Who Gives the Usual Dinner and Something Original and Clever Besides For Her Guests. a S enterprising housewives are n casting about for something fJ new and novel for their Cbrlst " mas merrymaking they may find of practical ubo an Interesting din ner arrangement. Of the menu nothing need be said other than that the guests were bounti fully supplied with all that makes up a sumptuous cnnsiinas uinner. iu table was artistically and tastefully ar ranged with candlesticks and vases or red carnations at each end and a large wreath of holly In the center. From the chandelier over the center of the table depended a stocking. It was crocheted of holly red yarn, finished at the top with the usual border and hung by red ribbons, the toe reaching almost to the center of the holly wreath. At various places on the stock ing sprigs of holly were adjusted grace fully, but not secured tightly. The stocking was made In the follow ing manner: After the top had been made the plain crocheting was done In sections. At the beginning a short end was left Inside the stocking, and after live rows (more or less, as need ed) had been made the yam wus bro ken off, leaving a very long end hang ing outside the stocking. Then the crocheting was recommenced at this point, agnln leaving a short end at tbo beginning and Inside the stocking. Five rows more were made, the yarn was again broken and a long end left. So the sections were continued until the stocking was complete, the last long tlirend being left at the toe. In making the stocking be sure that you have ns many ends as you have guests and plan to have each end at different parts of the stockiug Instead of one under the other. Understand, the ends et each beginning are Inside the stocking and will not ravel, so that to each of them can be attached a trifling gift. These are not to be the bona fide presents for the party, but Just sou venirs or Jokes anything to make fun or stimulate conversation. The outside ends are intended to be unraveled, and one Is to pass to the plate of each guest, where It Is fastened to the place card. , The place cards are to' be stockings also nnd may be easily made nt home of white cardboard. Cover one side with red paper and paste lengthwise the Initials of Hie guests. These let ters can be found at furnishing goods stores, as they are used inside men's hats, or they may be painted In gilt If the family boasts an artist.
