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.

members, with the definite stipula
tion that the box ts not to cced

will receive gifts alike. Pretty

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

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

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

From the Orient comes a great
ewers and small saucers besides. 1 number of stunning brass bowls.
Some of these ewes are Italian and,' Some of these are called opium

uses they will serve as cigarette

Propping In at Gloria's I found
her in tears.
"Why, my dear, what is tho
matter? I asked. ' ,
"It's Albert!" she answered be
tween sobs, "he's ho cut his In
itials on tho handsome new vteiro

"Oh, Gloria, ait rely not Albert

a mother. Why, It must be a mis
take.' "Xo-o.o! I am so hutnlllnted!
The principal just called. 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?" I
And now Albert- mother thicks

place.
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.
Creamed Tuna FlsK On Toast
Hot Chocolate
Olivet and Cheese Cracker
Hot Asparagus Tips on Toast
Hot Tea Fudge
! 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. When a box was empty
she refilled it promptly and conse
quently wat the t envy i of all her
set for the qulckl and easy , way in
which she achieved jUiQ role of the
