' ' aucntlu Scan. - i The spirit cf Christmas' giving has from tlmo Immemorial been landed to tho ' sklcx, but tho revcro ldo of tho picture- la flOtnowhfit obvious. Too many people ,Klve because they feel they have- to give, not hecauso they want to irfve. Tho ul terior motive la all too frequently uppcr tticet and tbo donor Is Inwardly making lightning CAlculatlonn ns to proa and cons. X' think that Christmas often breeds most unchrlstlanllko eptrtt. And -why? Tho solution Is not for to seek. A spirit of commercialism has entered Into this business of gift-giving. Heaven loves a Cheerful giver. Hut aro tho majority of peoplo cheerful glversT Just listen to soma of tho conversations that go on everywhere tit this season of tho year, , and then pause duly and meditate. This 'superfluity of slft-glvlng Is too often ftt bottom but a travesty of tho spirit or kindliness. 'Weed I really (rive a sift to Mrs. Jcnea this year?" exclaims Mrs. Smith With a look of thunder on her brow. "It Is too absurd I Last Christmas she gave mo that hideous crochet nntlmleiusar that she had no uso for herself. It must have come over with tho Pilgrim Fathers by the looks of HI Every time she comes to call sho grazes around tho parlor for It and I guess sho knows qulto well that I havo thrown It out. But I know she'll expect mo to give her something tills year; so I guess I'll havo tot" Mrs. Jones, too. Is not without her crlevanco. "I wish Mrs. Smith would stop sending over a Christmas present. Her things nro so expenslvo that I feci ',' real mean giving her the things I do, ' but thee I can't afford anything hotter. I don t caro much about Mrs, Smith, 1 anyhowl" Tho motlvo of Christmas giving cannot always bear too deep an analysis unfor tunately. Added to the spirit of commer cialism there Is tho "take-alt-and-glvo-nothlng" spirit. Christmas Is regarded by a certain typo of person ns nn occa sion for accumulating a store of useful El ft a. If tho gifts do not prove useful or acceptable, the receiver has been known to take them back to tho store and get a certain percentage of the money expended on them by tho giver. This seems a peculiar proceeding, but It Is nono tho less true. A spirit of rtvnlry often proves tho actuating forco In Christmas giving. Mamie gives Badto a silver-backed toilet set. Then sho feels really Irritated when her friend presents her with a gold-ntted dressing-case, and. Instead of accepting the handsome present with gratitude, feels perfectly aggrieved that 'Its magnifi cence has quite eclipsed her less expenslvo gift. In the department stores at present one overhears many groans from weary and heated shoppers. "Oh, how I do detost Christmas tlmo and this wretched pres ent buying!" I heard a woman exclaim tho other day. Obviously she spoke out of the fulness of her heart. Her appear ance carried out the lamentation of her voice. Her faco Was flushed and she wore a worried look. Her hat was awry and part of her hair was straggling down . In unbecoming wisps. She carried an um brella, a fur coat, a muff, a chain-purse A NEW FASHION MODES OF In U endeavor to establish tho high B9)tr, startling effects, odd and dutra 'litis sis exhibited that could hardly tUHW to And a. place In the general favor.

I did pity her. She was a melancholy victim of this modorn craze or cnristtnns shopping. Tho linhlt of gift giving Is a very de lightful thing, but It can be overdone. Let us confine our presents to those for whom we really care, or to those for whom wo have a sincere respect and re gard. Beyond that, tho donating of gifts Is not only unnecessary but quite Insin cere. Kot a gift should be tho outward token of remembrance and esteem. Whore neither of these feelings exists, It merely becomes a token of emptiness and Insincerity. EM.EN ADAIR. Snapshots in the Market Meat prices remain rather stable. The follotvlng may bo a suggestion for the Sunday dinner: lllb roast of beef Is IS cents to 30 cents a pound. Icg of lamb Is 25 cents a pound. Tvimb chops cost 26 cents to SO cents a pound. Stvcctbrfads range In price from 40 cents to $1 n pound. veal cutlets arc 35 cents a pound, Fresh ham Is 0 cents a pound. Mutton chops ore 35 cents to 50 cents a pound. Sucking pigs am $3.75 to $1.75. Guinea fowl are $1.33 a pair, Squabs, per pair, are 65 cents to 90 cents. Sirloin stenk costs 33 cents a pound. Itonst veal In 5 cents a pound. Chickens, frying, are IS cents a pound. Stewing chickens nre 23 conts a pound. Broiling chicken aro 20 conts a pound. The Successful Housekeeper The young wife who does hor own cook ing should bo most careful In tho matter of 'the evening meal. This Is the time when her husband comes home tired out after tho tnistlo and rush of tho day. Ho wants a good, nourishing supper, one which Is choson with an eyo to his tnvor lto dishes. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Is more discouraging to a man than to como home anticipating a wcll-cookod, wholesomo meal and a nlco quiet smoke afterward, and to find his wlfo In tears over tho biscuits and a freezing, out-of-season, delicatessen meal spread care lessly on tho table. Women make many other foolish mis takes In this connection. They order tho same things week In and week out, for ono thing. A mnn requires almost un limited variety In his bill of fare or every thing tastes alike. The Intelligent house keeper will mark every day's meals down In a book and keep them. Then If she gets stuck she can go back several weeks and got a suggestion. Tho papers are full of domestic sclenco columns theso days, and the advice of experts in the culinary art Is always helpful. You can get an Inflnlta series of dishes and direc tions for preparing them and helpful household Ideas In all tho modern maga zines. These arc boxed on tho experience of older women, wives and mothers, and will save the young wife many a trial. Don't undervalue the Importance of the dinner table. It has a great bearing upon the happiness of married life. Every ohe with sense admits that It Is the duty of any wlfo to keep her husband In as good honlth and temper as possible. The way In which the supper question Is managed has a bearing of the gravest Importance on this matter. In other words, "Feed tho bruto."

"What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving' How express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the' beauty of .the world! the paragon of animals!" Shakespeare, "Hamlet,'1 Act II. How One Girl Made Good The Little Soubrotte The girl who works for her own living and Is making a success of things is nearly always Interesting to meet, and Miss Alma Fleming, the gay little sou brette, at present playing hero In bur lesque, Is no exception to the rule. "Yes, I love my work nnd am very anxious to get right to the top of the ladder," she said earnestly, "I have been working for five years now, ever since I graduated from Grammar school at the age of 14. I started by singing "In the spotlight" In moving picture shows out home In Indiana. It was nlco sort of work. I used to stand right back of the piano and wear my hair like a boy and a tailored waist and collar and tie, so when the light was tumid on me, the audience used to wonder whether I really was a boy or not." "What did you do after the 'spotlight' performance?" "Just what all other girls with ambi tion have done I went to New York, the Mecca of the would-be successful!" Miss Fleming smiled remlnlscently and one's thoughts drifted to the vision of the plucky little girl, who, "Salamandor"-wlse and at the quite Immature age of 15 had faced the loneliness of a boarding house garret and the dreary tramping from agent to agent in search of work. "I wasn't long In getting work, how ever," she continued quickly, "I got quite a good cabaret Job, and held It for a long while. Then my present manager heard me sing, and gave me this opportunity to make good, I felt so thankful when I succeeded In pleasing him, not only for my own sake, but also for my mother. She Is quite dependent on me, you see, and has been ever since X was 11. I like her to havo everything she wants, and my only regret Is that I can't see her oftener, as she's out In Indiana!" "Don't you rind the two-performances-a-day business fatiguing?" "Oh, no!" was the quick reply, 'Why! out West, where we are now going, wo give two performances on Sundays as well, Uurlesque Is the best paying busi ness, I think, and I like It Immensely. There aro too many lay-offs In vaude ville." "What about the temptations of the stage?" "Why. It's up to the girl herself every time, and a sensible girl can take care of herself! As a matter of fact, the home girl has Just as many temptations as we do, but the difference Is that peo ple always give her the benefit of the doubt. We stay in each town about a week, and the first thing I do after set tling down Is to hunt up a church, You may think this a little strange for a bur lesque actress, but I have always stuck to this plan. I find the church service very soothing after the week's work, and I would not miss it for anything." "What qualities do you think the stage calls forth?" "All one's patience, and all one's tactl" was the quick reply. "The life makes you charitable and broad-minded. Ian. Lots of pluck and grit are demanded, and you need to be very philosophical In fact, quite a stole to make gooU. All the same, I think It a splendid profession, and J am quite In love with It" Christmas Gifts Ueful Hints A- few of the following suggestion may be useful to tbe busy shopper, especially if she Is trying to think up a "last min ute" gift: Mutflers In every t4 are very fash loAaMe this year.

As soon as the little coppc kettle had begun Its quaint singing Mar Jorle dropped In tho fragrant tea-ball. Polly drew out the cups, dropping cream; sugar, lemon, clover, etc..

I wanted to fcliop all day tomorrow and bo done with it all at once. What would you advise, Dolly?" asked her twin sister, frowning at the little English muffins. "My dear, how can you bother about such a silly thing? Surely you can re member the things and write them again. By the way, do you remember how we spent Christmas last year." "Do tell us about It I Just hate to wait for things, nnd you can entertain us until the tea draws." "Well, last Christmas we left college to spend the holidays with our new Uncle Oeorge. We had never seen him before, and he had married Aunt Grace Just a few months before. He Is one of those men who have queer notions about girls traveling alone Imagine It! Any how, he said he'd meet our train at some silly little station near Philadelphia at 10 In the morning. "We landed at this' place and not a sdul was on the platform.

Well, we Just bundled the children up and piled them Into the taxi (you never saw such a dis gusted driver; his face looked like the breaking up of a hard winter) 'and we bought a huge turkey and cranberries, fruit, sweet potatoes, candy, celery, beans, carrots, cream puffs, cake galore, pie and Just bunches of cookies!

CHRISTINE FREDERICK Atmton or -raa nbtt HousmcBErmo." rerhaps no meal In tt en""1 WMk has such peculiar qualities as the Sunday night supper. On weekdays there Is rt continuous procession of regular, stnld dinners, of definite courses, set In tho routine way. Thero Is frequently, too, tho chance that tho weekday evening meal will bo hurried or dolayed becauso of a congested subway or that fatal man from out of town who kept your husband nt the last moment. But Sunday night la frequently and de lightfully tha maid's night off, the family Is alono by Itself, or thero are a few guests In tho most Intimate, leisurely way. The good Sunday dinner hns beon appreciatively stowed away, and no defi nite tlmo has been set for that slight refreshment tho Sunday night supper calls to mind. If wo feel llko eating nt 7 wn will do go, or If hunger does not approach until 0, no matter. Tho Sunday night supper Is n variable feat. It can be set according to our appetites. It also violates all canons of "courses." It Is different, odd, piquant, and most easily served. Indcod, the chief virtue of the Sunday night supper should be its easy service. Alt sliver and chlua can bo arranged beforohand on a com modious tray. If there Is to be a hot beverago llko cocoa, cofTce or bouillon, ono of the vacuum bottles enn bo Im pressed Into servlco bo that thero nocd be no delay over this Item nt the last moment. Of course, tho chafing dish and small table cooking equipment lend themselves excellently to tho Sunday night supper. Tho main dish, Indeed, can etnergo chnf-lng-dlshward Just when desired. Thero Remedies for the Tired Girl Havo you ever been so tired that every bono In your body ached, and even If you did lie down you wero too tired to rest? That's the wily most peoplo feel thC30 days, especially tho women who nre en thusiastic Christmas shoppers. Tho girls behind tho counter are defac out when closing' tlmo comes, because nothing is more tiring than to stand all day. Tho little chnngo they get for recreation la In tho evening, so that tho quickest remedy for the tired feeling has to bo taken be fore S o'clock. Ordinary sitting In a chair or lying down on a couch will not prove to be tho most restful of positions. While you caso ono part of tho body, tho other pnrts remain as tired and strained as ever. Perhaps you may not know the value of putting your feet up as high as they will comfortably go. It is not elegant to sit with your feet on a desk or tabic, but you will find It most restful nnd can be done In the privacy of your own room. A doctor said that he was always Im pressing this "fect-up" treatment on girls and women whoso occupation made It necessary for them to stand n groat deal teachers, salesgirls, demonstrators, etc. "Get your feet ns high ns your head Just ns often ns you can," ho ordered. Ils patients thought this a most extraor dinary prescription but they soon realized the wonderful relief it gavo to aching feet. KKSOItTS rOCONO S1QUXTA1NB. TA.
