It It not necessity that all tiling be on an el egant scale to render tho Christmas-tide joy. ous. It Is the pleat are of freely giving, or, of 'loving and giving," and thankfully recetv injj ihstconstllutes a true Christmas. Yes Ills LOVING AND OlVINg that counts. Don't bestow a gift without the accompaniment of love. What Is meant by love" Is, at least frlendlyaflectlon, So often we hear it said, "I don't like her, but she gave me something last year." Don't you think the listener must hare thought that per. haps the ssrrie thing had been said of her? Don't cheapen the significance of your gift to a loved on by making a, present to someone whom you don't love. And always make the love that prompts the gift more prominent than the gift itself. Dun't forget, too that A DAINTY APrEARANCl! is n important put of the whole. Don't be content to simply btiy a thing, a book, for In stance, and leave it in its "store clothes,' but make It attractive by tlelng with a pretty ribbon, thrusting a sprig of holly, or mistletoe through the bow. It will then show that you took an interest and pleasure in preparing it. There are few things so plain or so pretty that they cannot be made more so with little trou ble. It Is the LITTLE ACTS OP KINDNESS that count most. Let one be habitually cross And unkind, and on occasional good deed seems in the nature of a freak, and we won der what is the object of such change. It is the person who dally performs some slight kind, thoughtful act who is most loved, the one who does these little things as though they found pleasure in performing them, (as indeed they do) and not as though they had been considering whether or not it was their duty to do a kind deed, and bad performed -it as a matter of duty, not love. We little know how long a thoughtful little act will livo In the memory of one who profits by it. There was once a young girl who was away from her home and among stranger-friends. She worked hard, all day long. But at the house where she made her homo there was one of those thoughtful girls, and every few days, all through the long hot summer, when the gir) who worked down town got home she found In her room a fresh boquet of the prettiest (lowers tho garden afforded, In n pretty vase which was a cherished posesslon of the girl who stayed at home, becau so a dear friend of hrs who knew of her fondness for. dainty china had given It to her. Do you think the flowers or the thoughtfulnefs pasted unno ticed? No, Indeed; and one day when the re ceiver of the delicate attention was thanking he gtver the lattersald, "I onjoy doing things for you, for you appreciate It so much. Now,," mentioning her sister, "never even 4s 'thank.you' for anything I do for her." A IIEARTV "THANK. YOU" speaks volumes. Is ever say 'thanks' unless you wish and intend to utterly "squelch" someone. There's nothing that cools one's ardor for bestowing favors more than that word "thanks". One would rather hear "No, thank-you," than that. You may feel just as grateful, but it never seems so. One tinnday two women boarded a street car. One had been to the library, and had several books and periodicals, The other was going to call on a sick friend. Something happened to the car, as often occurs, and a long delay was In evitable. Tho library woman picked up a book and commenced reading. The other, very fond of reading, but without much time for It, looked longingly at the pile of maga zines. Her way was such that It was easy for her to approach strangtrs, so she finally asked if the might glance through one of the books "while we wait?" Very gracious as sent was given, and the time soon passed, thuugh it was nearly an hour before the car proceeded, Tne book was returned, with a heartfelt "thank.you," to whioh the owner re spondtd, "You are xtry welcome." That word "very." How much it added to the genuineness of the reply I The speaker never dreamed how long it would be remembered, nor how much the favored one wished for an opportunity to return the kindness. MANY WC-MBN WOULDNr. No, indeed, they wouldn't have been so nice about it. They wonld have glanced up in a tutprlied, supercilious, liow-dare-you address. me manner that would have made that street car a far more cold and dreaiy place, and would havo said "Ye-es," with a vttj peculiar Inflections then when tho book was returned Instead of saying anything inreV ply to the "thank-you," the head would have been Inclined forward, very stiffly and barely perceptibly, the lips tightly closed, and eyes upon the floor. IT'S VKRY AMUSINU sometimes provoking, and always disgusting to see how suspicious some women are of others. Why, some of them can't give a ready and courteous answer to tke question, "Is this street." In the tono ot their reply and their haughty beating they seem to say "I'm not a city directory," or "Yonder Is a policeman," And especially If the question. cr't clothing happens not to be so good as I that ot the questioned. Men never treat each I other in that way, la seme such things worai.n are the inferior of men, They are too . narrow. Too many of them act ai if they thought themselves the only good women in the universe and as if It wovld be contamina tion to have o answer a question. It is very, yery seldom that any but a good woman will approach another woman, The fact that their conscience permits them to is sufficient guar, rantee of their worthiness. There is too much holding aloof from each other among women An extract from Ollvo Schnlmer's "Dreams" s applicable here, "I nld I had come to arraign my brother, man. Cod ld, "What hai he done?" : I said, "He has taken my sister, woman, and has stricken her, and thrust her Into the streets;' she lies lliere prostrate. I am here to arraign him; that the kingdom be taken from hird, becfluiehe is not worthy, and given un. tome. My hands are pure." I showed them. God sold, "Thy hands ore pure. Lift up thy robe ' 1 raised it S my feet wfe red, blood-red, as if 1 had trodden lu wine, (Jod said, "How Is this?" I said, "Dear Lord, the streots on earth are fill of mire. If I should walk straight on In them my outer robe might become bespotted, you see how white It is! Therefore I pick my way." God said. "On what ?" I was silent. I went out softly. I was afraid the angels would see me." Yes, on what? Just think of that when you are tempted to pick your way too daintily. You are on this Earth, nnd you'll have to make the best of it, and school yourself to come In contact with the rest of the inhabitants. The woman who Is shielded, or shields herself from the world Is not worthy or the commendation that the woman is who bravely and sensibly takes her place In the struggle. Unless she does that, it is always a doubt whether or not sho would have barn brave to combat evils. The wo man who Is always so overly particular re minds sensible people of thu man who gets a substitute for bis place In time of war. Marion. WtfSHgg slllMB TURKU ATTRACTIVE TOILETTES.

OwIuk to unfavorable outlook for a successful football gamo at 8i'm Xiih8 day between tbo Portland University and Willamette Uulvorslty football teams, tho football association of old Wlllamotte held a short jbusluosu meet ing Thursday morning, when It was decided that if they play Portlaud Xraas, thoy will necessarily havo to go to tlm metropolis. Buch action was necessary ou the part of tho Balem team as their funds aro about dimin ished and having tbo Portland team conio to Batons would mean an addl tlonal expense of probably (100 which thev docldwd was too muob, tuklng their present lluuuclal ooudltlou into consideration.

Were Diss's ed at 3:30 Yesterday for Tke Holidays. The rubllo schools were dlsmlesed at 3:30 yesterday for the Christmas hoi days, nnd will not reume nhtll December 80th. New Yearn day will bo observed as a holiday. There la r mistaken Idea that tbo tuacbeM are giyeu tho whole of tho vuoatlon; they are given only the two days, Christmas and New Years, and havo to teach tbelr full tlmo, so none is lost to the district. There, were short exercises lu all tl e rooms yesterday afternoon, but no public exercises wero prepared, as wotild hnve been bad tbo schools closed nearer Christmas day. Tho schools have all been woll nt tended this month, desplto the in clement weather of tho past week, Bud' little sickness prevulls abiong pupils. Teachers will submit their monthly ropotta for December on January 3d, and will show 10 days of sobool taught In tbo month, Tho principals' meeting will be held on the 4th prox. at 10 a. m , nnd the regular meeting of tho teachers' nssr clation at 3:30 p. m. on Monday, tbo Oth. Many nt tbo teachers are quito disappointed because tbe school board did not deem It ndvlsablo to grant a two week's vacation, which would en ablo tbom to sttond tho ftato tacbors' association hold at Portland, January 1st. Tnolr roasou for not doiug so was that It was thought to bo too long a holiday for tho pupil.

It Is poldom that wo aeo a really well written letter; that is, from the stand' polut of cxcellouco of quality. Wo men, especially, are remiss In their hnowledgo of what conRtltutea a good letter. Ono reason of their eiluMona is that thoy wrlto too manv of them. The average girl has from teu to twentv correspondents, and a week Is a long time for her to leave a letter unau BA'ered, and tbe result Is, nearly eVery letter la composed of twaddlo and gos Hip. Three or four pages aro covered w th a sickening round of It, tho en velopo is sealed and addrosaedjaud, the wr t r thinks sho has done something commendablo. If tbo recipient Is ouo of those who ban "Ob, bo many correspondents," she thinks so too. But wherein is tbo benetitof all tbla troubln and waste of time? Haye either of them learned anytblug bene ficial ? It would be far better If tbe number ot correspondents of most girls wai reduced to two or three, outside the relationship, and then fewer letter exchanged, each gaining an opportu nity to learn or think of something worth saying. It la time worso than wasted to write to all one's frlonds aud acquaintances. TUB FORESTERS' HALT The sAnvstera ball, New Year's eve promises to be one of tbe most e ij y ablo events of the season.
