The New Bridal Fan.
At a recent New York society wed-
ding a decided novelty wss in evi- I
dence. Instead of th« orthodox bou-
quet of orange blossoms or white and j
silver prayer book, the bride carried j
a fan of costly point lace, which was
attached to her wrist by means of a j
narrow white satin ribbon. Her long
and narrow point applique veil was I
so arranged as to conceal little of her
hair. The top was twisted fii a loose .
fold, which was arranged in two loops j
one much lower than the other, at the
side of her moderately high coiffure.
A very long and full spray of orange
blossoms was fastened at the left of
the tulle loops and trailed almost to
her shoulder. A still larger spray was
used on the corsage.
A Smart Storm Coat.
Rain coats have become so general
as to be counted among the necessi-
ties of life. This one is smart at the
same time that it serves its purpose

ing, first under a cloth, finishing off
with nothing between it and the iron,
there is no need to starch it. Ironing
while wet gives it just the right
amount of stiffness.

ficer of the National Milliners* asso-
ciation. says: "It is a dangerous
fashion, a style which puts money in
the pockets of the veil makers but
takes it out of ours. Many women
conceal old hats under fluffy masses
of brown veiling and then forego the
pleasures of a new hat. We must ex-
pose this practice."
Princess Wrapper.

enough, and as they need no trimming

in three widths, one in back or two
in front; hem. and mount on a double
yoke, finishing the neck with a wide
turnover collar. Gather the full

The Spirit of Christmas
By BY ROW WILLIAMS
Christmas, the birth-time of Jesus,
Comes with its holly again—
Would that the world s acceptation
Guaranteed peace to all men!
Christmas, the time to be merry!
Christmas, when garlands are
hung—
Why do we fall back to furrows
After the bells have hern rung?
%
Christmas, the day of unbending!
Christmas, when hunger is fed-
Why must it ever go wanting.
Wasting and crying for bread?
Christmas, bediademed season
Christmas, then sorrow and fear!
Surely the Christ-child who blessed uft
Meant it to last all the year!
What is the spirit that drives us
Back to our hearthstones that glow,
Leaving the heart-sick to perish
Out in the cold and the snow?
Let the glad paens of plenty
Ring and reverberate long!
Catch up humanity's chorus.
Gladsome and --eat be the songl
6ing It forever and ever,
Throughout the aeons of Time!
Carol it ever and always,
Symphony blest and sublime!
Twine with the mistletoe branches
Love for the fallen and sad!
Uplift with sanctified kindness
Those who are lowly and bad!
Live every day on the dial
Juct'as God wishes we might!
Making our Christmas eternal,
Paving our way to the light!
m
Celebrations the World Over
Heavy white stitchings are always
smart on black.
Fur scarfs are broader and longer
than last year.
Shirrings form girdle effects on
many pretty frocks.
White and pale colored zibelines are
used for dressy gowns.
The average woman looks best in a
fine net veil without spots.
Have two or three sets of lingerie
sleeve ruffles for the one gown.
Insect forms of jeweled gunmetal
are worn at corsage and in coiffure.
Safety lies halfway between a droop-
ing blouse and a tight fitting bodice.
Yoke and sleeves of gold net add a
rich finish to the white evening gown.
Mirror velvets are the lightest and
best fitted for tucking and shirring
conceits.
Most women are at their best in the
dainty fluffy things they call "home
gowns."
For the street there is the coat and
skirt costume of navy blue velvet in
walking length.
To Cook Prunes.
When prunes are teerved they should
fall apart from the stones and be very
tender. In order that the prunes
I should reach the perfection of tender-
• ness it is better to soak them in cold
water for twenty-four hours before
cooking. First they should be washed
thoroughly in scalding water; then
put to spak. After the soaking they
may be boiled with sugar—not too
much—or they may be soaked a sec-
ond twenty-four hours in milk and then
served with honey. Honey is always
better with cream than sugar is.

Christmas in the South.
Fireworks are being shipped into all
parts of the South for the Christmas |
and New Year holiday celebrations, ,
says the New York Tribune. Large |
consignments have been going out |
every day during the past three or j
four weeks, and these shipments will •
continue until after Christmas. It
was estimated by two prominent, local
dealers last week that not less than
$1,000,000 worth of Roman candles,
rockets, pinwheels, crackers, torpe-
does and colored fire powder will be
set off south of the Mason and Dixon's
line during the last week of the dying
year. In the South the Christmas
celebration takes the place of the In-
dependence

Holly the "Holy" Tree.
In the middle of the Forest of Dean.
England, there stands a building call-
ed the Speech House, around which
grows a number of old holly trees.
They were looked upon by the folk
of the locality with so much venera-
tion that, so recently as 1830, boughs
were cut from them and used to take
the place of the Testament in swear-
ing in witnesses in the adjoining
court. It is said that the ancient Brit-
ons held the tree as sacred, and plant-
ed it round their villages in Cornwall.
When holly came to he coupled with
Christmas other notions prevailed. In
Rutlandshire it was thought unlucky
to bring it into the house before
Christmas. In the Western shires the
I branches were taken home from the
' churches which they had adorned and
kept for luck during the following
year. School boys used to make bird-
lime by chewing the bark. Because
the leaves of Its lower branches are
more spiny than those of the upper,
the tree escapes damage from cattle,
which cause harm to most trees. Deer,
however, attack it.—Little Folks.

the Nativity takes place in a stable.
The apocryphal legends proved so
strong that in spite of the canonical
version or the story, a cave near Beth-
lehem came to be finally regarded as
the place of the Nativity, and a
church was erected on the spot to
commemorate the event and still
stands as a lasting monument ot this
belief.

Christmas in Bohemia.
Bohemia alone, among all the Chris-
I tian countries, makes Christmas a
day of rigorous fasting. Even child-
ren are expccted to deny themselves
all food from sunrise to sunset. This
day is also a veritable collection day
1 for workmen of every class, and the
master of the house needs a pocketful
of money to satisfy all the demands
made upon him by the artisans, musi-
j cians, pot-menders, bell-ringers, chim-
neysweeps, cobblers, etc., who throng
the house front early dawn to wish
him a "Merry Christmas" and receive
from him a remembrance.
church for December 25th. Before
that time it had been a movable festi-
val like Easter.
In France it is a common practice to
celebrale Christmas by giving an ex-
tra ration to domestic animals, on the
theory that all creatures should unite
in rejoicing at this season.
Mince pies are first mentioned in
luDfi as in common use at Christmas
time. Culinary authorities declared
that they might tie eaten as early as
December 34. They were made of
mutton, mixed with raisins, cloves, all-
spice, nuts, and other Ingredients.
The children at Bethlehem are still
told by their mothers that on Christ-
mas eve a choir of angels always sing
above the place where Christ was
born. Travelers say that on this even-
ing scores, and sometimes hundreds
of children may be seen in the open
air, looking up into the Bky, waiting
to hear the angels sing.
In Sweden there !« a superstition
that the men of the extreme northern
regions become wolves during Christ-
mas week.
Celebration at Lima, Peru.
Probably the most gorgeous Christ
mas spectacle in the world takes
in Lima, Peru, where a wonderful pro-
cession several miles king winds
through the streets, bearing figures
of hundreds of saints and the sacred
pictures of the cathedral. Many thou-
sands of soldiers in their bright uni-
forms. Indian women, decked with
ribbons and flowers, and asses heavily-
laden with choice fruits and harness-
ed with strings of golden bells all ap-
pear in line, and on stands passed
by the parade are representations of
scenes from the Nativity. At night
the whole city makes merrf w ith gui-
tars, castanets and weird native
dances, and the celebration ends with
great public feasts where rich and
poor exchange greetings.
True Meaning of Christmas.
In all the mirthmaking and the hap-
piness of the coming holiday time we
should not get too far away from the
fact that of all the celebrations of the
year it is the one that unquestionably
belongs in its higher meaning to the
humble and the poor.
"And this shall be a sign unto yon.
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
"And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly
host, praising God and saying:
"Glory to God In the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward uiea."
