An Old Fashioned Party For the Chil dren. Tho nrrnngemont of n tnblo nt a Vuletldo party was qulto unusual, ln asuuich ns It wns nn old fashioned squnro ouo. lengthened to nccommo dnto twelvo children. It wan pushed back against tho wall, and at tho back wns tho largest sized Yulo log candy box, resting on, a bed of holly and mis tletoe On top of tho log was a doll drossed ns n Jester, called tho "Lord of Mis rule," and nttnehed to tlu front end of tho log by red ribbons wero six dolls dressed to represent tho first six mouths of tho year. Following after tliu log wore six moro figures dressod like tho last six months. At each pluto wero n holly pnper covered horn nnd 11 weo tree lit with red wax tapers. Tho children wero to blow out tho candles, muklng n wish for each ono. If they go out with tho very first puff tho wish will cotno truo. A white nnd red Christmas ribbon goes to each plato. fastened by n spray of holly. Then ench child looks nt tho dolls nnd says which ono ho or slio thinks rep resents tho month in which they wero born. If there bhotild bo two In tho samo month tho ono who Is tho oldest gets tho dolt for that mouth. As thcro Is ono for each guest, n satisfactory ad justment Is easily made. The Yulo log nlso contains small favors for ench guest. Enollsh Plum Pudding. Tor thoao who wnut their plum pud dings hoiucmndo tho following rcclpo may prove useful: Take oue-hulf pound of flilcly shred ded suet, one-half pound of washed and dried currants, three-fourths of n pound of stoned raisins, four tubtcspoonfuls of dried and sifted breadcrumbs, three tnble.spooufiils of warm sifted Hour, tlvo ounces of loaf sugur, tlnco eggs, threo ounces of shredded citron, one- half nutmeg grated nnd a teaspoon ful of brandy. Mix theso well togeth er, adding enough milk to mako It of nlco consistency, and boll for six or olght hours. This puddlug keeps admirably, aud when It Is not to bo used for some tlmo It should bo boiled, sny, for six hours nnd then bung from a hook, in tho storeroom until about to bo used, when It should again bo pluced In tho pan and boiled for nn hour and a half or two hours longer. It may be boiled In a mold, a basin or n cloth und must bo kopt In which ever Is chosen until ready to bo served. he said tn havo more dovotit or moro cosmupolltnn crowds than those thnt tloek to the city of David In tho Christ inns week. Shaped wonderfully llko a crescent, yet tho only thoroughly Christian town In all Syria, Bethlehem puts on Its gayest garb as Christmas approaches. At all times a pretty and attractive place. It Is then n thousand fold moro so. Tho thrifty townspeo ple, their handsome wives and dark eyed daughters, preparo for tho festiv ities weeks In advance nnd aro ready to wclcomo the first arrivals. Vn wnrds rnn ndcmiatelv doscrlbo the grandeur of tho Christmas services I nt tho Church of tho Nativity, which Is the center of Interest for tho pil grims. Theso services nro kept up tho entire week. On tho way to church the visitors nro beset by peddlers, who Insist on pushing under their very noses little ornaments of ollvcwood nnd mothorofpenrl. Tho Church of tho Nativity Is ono of tho oldest struc tures In existence, nnd, although It has been repeatedly repaired, It still ro talus much of Its original form nnd character. In tho side aisles at dif ferent ultnrs priests chant tho sorvlco In tones thnt swell nnd dlo nmld tho tnll columns thnt support tho roof. At tlm shrines crouns of nltcrlms kneel In reverent adoration, whllo still other groups nro guided nround tho church by monks, who point out tho rich relics nnd sacred places, tho most venerated of nil being the shrlnu of tho monger, beneath the church, which. It Is claimed, Incloses tho actual birth place of tho Saviour. During tho Christmas festivities this manger shrlno Is resorted to by great multi tudes, who crowd each other in their pious eagerness to kiss tho inarblo slnb on tho floor with a silver star In tho center. So fervid nnd enthusiastic aro theso worshipers that tho mnrblo slnb has been repeatedly kissed uwny In places, rnmlnrlni? n new slab necosSlirs.

Send Your Heart With It Don't give presents because others expect you to. Give becauso you love to. If you cannot send your heart with tit gift keep tho gift A Mean Holiday 8p!rlt. Do not gauge your Christmas giving. Thero Is nothing tnoro desplcnblo than to work off the hack numbers or tho shabby, useless gift on tho girl who "needs everything" and spend a emull fortuue on thoso who can spend on themselves, Christmas Eve. The hoar of time where the frost's Bray rime In fantastic glamour lies; A sheen of Unlit on the gleam'ng white That mirrors tho spangled skies: A great cold star In the heavens afar And a moon trail on the hills; The earth Instilled with an awe fulfilled And the night with muslo thrilled. The carolers sing as the church bells ring. While up In the organ loft The sage owls croon as the calm, sweet tune Comes swelling, but ever soft The message nies through the changing skies By changing time and tongue, Out ever the same as the tale that came The shepherd men among. Where the mistletoe and the laurel bough And the holly and bay are twined, Where the hearth fire gleams as In an cient dreams. One age Is but In mind. As tn modern dreams the hearth Are gleams, 80, under the casement still, The carolers sing as the tower tongues swing Man's peace and God's good wllL Stephen Chalmers. ' Not n White Elephant Qlft. Ono of the most useful presents for n busy woman Is n simple tnendlnff bag. A moro elnborate present tuny become a "whllo elephant," whoro nn everyday necessity of this kind will provo its wortlt repeatedly. A useful gift for n busy mistress of a house hold Is thnt of a cretonne pocket, sus pended from n folding wooden frame, after tho manner of n camp stool. Tho fraino en 11 Always bo procured easily and only requires sulllclont cro tonno of n dainty pitttcru to form tho nucleus of nn eminently serviceable sewing kit. When not In tiso It can bo folded up and placed In n corner, while It has a distinct ndvautugo over tho ordinary sowing bag, In that when tho frame Is extended the wholo of the contents nro visible nt once. I The cretonne should bo gntiged on to the frame, with a bending of about an Inch extending nbovo tho rods, whllo 1 Inner noekots for tho sowing addenda cun bo added to suit Individual tnsto. , The round or squnro wooden boxes In which crystallized fruits nro bought cnu bo transformed Into things of bounty, with tho help of n yard or so of cretonne. Very flno cretouno should bo used, mid tills should be pasted on the box. An Extremely Useful Offering.
