'i Mm - (300$ - .Slf j IT was ft lnry In 'tho Atlnntln that mforre! to the "Inasmuch"! theory the iroanel nf sharing. In cane tho reader ltnt quite certain of tin rnl ire quotation, It coiner from Mathew nnd roads thua, 'In 11 m much hr ye have done it unto one of the loat of these.wy broth cm. ye have done it unto mo." It 1 the Hpirtt of this quotation that i exemplified In the good fel low work that ha boe.n carried on for many yours. At the Christmas eaon. It In a truism, of course, to tiy that as our heart ure over flowing with "good wilt to men" vro desire to share of our bounty with those not so fortunate. How best to extend of our jfood to others Is the great question. The newspapers have taken a lively in terest in the matter and have sup plied na rncs to nil w ho w ished 'them so that Christmas would be more of a Joyous occasion to the needy on op. But while with these names a splendid work may be done, there remain thee dear shy folks who will not admit that for some pood reason this Christmas Is to be a slim one. Jf through careful ques tioning one can ifind out these people, an opportunity im uffordod for giving, that will be deeply aj-l preeiaiea. Teacher Distributes Parages In the schools, too, good fellow work has been carried forward, with excellent results. Packages, are brought to the teachers for dis tribution, nnd each child has thu had a chance to ehare his good with his ""brother." t The children, no question about it. will enjoy their Christmas more who are perhaps weary of waiting tor having thought of others, and for having prepared or their hap piness, A valuable suggestion has come In the form of interesting children In tho hospitals of their own cities. Children In one family or In small groups can prepare Christmas for tho children's ward of the hospital. 4 For one thing, broken toys can be repaired for the sick ones. Paint and paste wilt do wonder and keep little fingers happily busy. Games cun be donated or bought. Then there ore scrap books to be made. Colored pictures from mag axlnes and Advertisements can be cut out and pasted on paper cam bric, the edgee of which have been neatly "pinked." Animal pictures always interest children, and all sorts of childish scenes and ac tivity?, I Arrange Iirtter'' Scrapbook Then other scrapbooks can be filled. In the form of letters. A little printing ts necessary here for example, "Dear Friend, (lettering) father (picture) and mother (pic ture) Join me in wishing you a very merry Christmas tlettering). We expect Santa Claus (picture) and his reindeers (picture) soon." This will give an Idea of how to arrange a "letter" scrapbook. The older folks can assist In ar ranging for the decoration of the hospital ward, and arrange, too, for some Christmas music. In com wards, new records for the phonographs will be acceptable and in others, a little program of Christmas carols can be sung for me invalids. There are many, many ways to bring happiness to those 1 ardently desire. to bo "uu" and well again. Speaking of hospitals; reminds Us not to forgot the ex-soldier who are still paying tor tho war In some way or other. In our Institutions. In some communities this work ts cared for by the women's clutw. Chritmuj boxes aro prepared by members, with the definite stipula tion that the box ts not to cced In value 1 1.00 or $1.5o. so that all will receive gifts alike. Pretty boxes are made ready with gifts of stationery, cards, cigarettes, dif ferent thlmrs tho men wilt enjoy. In one place, one organ ixnt I on gave each man a handkerchief, another group gave socks, another pre pared a tree for each ward and so on. Help for Settlement Htxisos Another fine work the women s clubs may undertake at Christmas Is to nasist a settlement house. One club reported to Its members, that clothes, especially stockings, were needed at Us "adopted" settle ment house, that soap would be welcome, and preserves and Jellies too. A group of members were asked to make baby clothes, that were much needed, for babies In that district. For each club, and for each fam ily, there is an interesting and in dividual way of handling their 4'good fellow" work and it Is hoped that some of the suggestions given here will prove worth while. It becomes after all. a matter of look Ing beyond one s own doorstep, matter of "sharing-" a matter of adding to the "Peace on earth. good win to men that we all so barns nnd put In order. Homo of these looma were brought from Ku rope In ' colonial days. Persons have neon found who know how to use them, nnd they have shown others. Those women are weaving wool yarn Into rugs aud coverlet of new and original designs.' The products are finding a ready mar ket and are bringing good prices.

IT Shos Tly WARJORIE HOWE DIXON THERE are two ways of ap proaching tho proposition of Christmas giving-. One Is, to take this viewpoint "what would I like to give Mrs. Andover?" And pro ceed to buy a bit of pewter, with1 the tag "Early Americana," just b oca use y o u 1 o ve pe w t er, so, of course Mrs. Andover may be one of those people who thinks that Americana is the name of an en-! cyclopedia and perhaps she just hates pewter! Then there In the other wv of looking; at it, and that is "Wha would Mrs. Andover Jlke to re ceive V it Is much mor difficult this way, oh, much more difficult.

I don't know what possesses tho child. A week ago the physical director 'phoned his father, complaining that a crowd of the boys were do facing the new gymnasium draw ing pictures nnd writing nnmes on the wall. And Albert was one of them:" There was little' I could say to comfort her. I left her still griev ing. And then I began wondering why I had said. "A lad with you for a mother." for I easily recalled some of Albert's pranks when he wan a more toddler. One evening I had called at Clorla'3 to see her new wall-paper. In 'two conspicuous places Alhert hr.d mado huge curly-cues with a crayon. "Why. Gloria, did you lot Albert do that?' I asked. "Let him?" complacently, "I loft the room and he just did It." Albert beamed his delight. "What could I do?' she smiled. Then In a whisper, "Cute?" "Yes, very cute!" I thought. "Oh, my dear." she continued with a gleam of pride In her eyes, "he's a terror! The other day Grandma Graro brought a couple of b:ts for me to see. Whllo I was looking at them Albert sawed two of tho logs of our mahogany dining-room table. And you see that mnhopany chair, ho simply ruined it, yanked tho whole back out of it, somehow." Albert edged closer to Gloria. ! "Hut he's mother's boy, isn't he, ; Bertie?"

NOW that the winter days are here, the cry after the theatre is "Lets go where it warm and comfy." At such times and on Sunday afternoons which are often rainy and cold, what could be coz ier "than an informal supper party at .home? With the tea wagon drawn up before the nre and a savory odor rising from the electric m-ill and. with everybody helping, there is so much fan in life, still. Even the stiff old bachelor will be come surprisingly human if he is told to slice the bread and the friv olous girl will become suprisingly domestic over the toast making. If you will plan ahead, you can always bave the makings of a most satisfactory, even festive supper in tho house. The following menus nre all good and require but a lit tle time to prepare.

Cheese between slices of Boston I Brawn Bread toasted Coffee pickles Oyster Stew ' Crackers' Damson Plum Jam Toast One girl whose popularity was due largely to the fact that there was an unfailing supply of good eatt in the house, such as canned mush rooms, fruits for salad, and meats for creamed dishes, could always count on her coterie of friends to come to her house and gather around for a jolly good talk about the football game or plans for to morrow's dance, while they toasted slices of Boston brown bread and made rarebit and fudge. . She man aged to have something always in the house by this very unique -plan. She got several pasteboard hnxes and on the lid wrote a menu. Then she put into the box all die injrred ients required for that menu even to the can of milk; so that there might be no chance of 'finding something forgotten at tlie last min ute when all the stores would be closed.
