IEWS OF
A WOMAN
THERE is a fhiistmus cheer whlc
all can enjov and dlftuse, whethe
they aio lieh or poor. It costs n
hicli
er
poor, it costs no
money, il entails no small jealousies
and leaves no regiets. It will biing
more return than a xast expendituie of
gold and effoit, and can all bo accom
plished while sluing at homo by the
llioside.
U Is a sou ol dealing house affair,
this Chilstmas cheer, and it woika
hugely through icllex action. It isn't
su much a Now Year's custom to be
established as for Christmas, since by
the time New Year an Ives we aic not
in tlie piciper fi.ime of mini! to eairy
out tlie details. The only time in the
wuild lo aiiange it oonectly Is at the
Yuletide of the i.ir.
Pei haps j on have been doing It light
along. If not, this Is a good time lo
begin founlng the habit, although It is
nutliing new and oilglnal, but some
thing as old as the songs the shephoids
sang on the plains of Bethlehem. It Is
the idea of dismissing the giieani'e
committee of the biain and dealing the
lmait of the dismal accumulation ol the
ear, in the shape of snubs nnd slights
and offenses and injuiles, and staitlng
all over with no Incumbrances.
Theio Is no incumbrance in the woilel
so utteily cunibious as a gilevanee. it
can bin den one liko tlie Old Man of
the Sea. I should not be suimised If
tlie real Old Man of the Sen was a
grudge in tlie beginning. He was piob
ably a big, old hateful Grudge, that
sat down nt the flieside like a Cue Cat
and camped out on one's pillow at night
and clung about one's neck when ouo
walked tihioad, ami poureel hitler
wateis in one's cup at dinner and whis
peied evil things when ono would have
had lovely day dieams. Christinas Is
such a good time to diown the Giudge.
Ono will be too busy at New Year
making lesolutions that one bus no in
tention of keeping, and planning out
thlity-slx horns' woik In every du of
the three bundled and sixty-live, to
bother about the exlei initiation or hist
nui Giudge. It is better to attiiid to
tho matter right now. lie will lie haul
to kill, lor ho will mutter ovei mul over
again: "You aio such a fool: Why
under tho sun do you want to foiget
that Mis, Snlpplc snubbed uu? It
Isn't fair to jotuself to Ignoio tho fact
that Tom Shuip tiled to do ou In Unit
business matter, ft Is tho sweetest aim
In the wuild to keep In mind that you
want to get even with the glil who
said that you wuc oimle. You owe It
to your dignity to icsent these slights
that joii have been receiving lioin peo
ple not at ul youi equal."
But one will never In a whole twihi -month
teei like chasing the giudgo
awity fiom one's heutlhstnue If t is
not attempted now In tho little pain-o
befoui tho New Year stundh on tho
tlilesholel; now when the Cluistinas
spirit Is In the tilr and the bcait Is
softened with tender ineiuoilcs of ihe
ek-a 1 1 nud tho waini liilulsuullons of
tho living. Yet ho has such a habit of
staying about with Ills mlsetnbli) cloak
ing to make a eliscoul In tho meirlest
mil lb, lhat it Is dltlicult to dislodge
him
The oddest tiling about It all Is that
ouo seldom leall.ea that the only pti
sou whom lift makes really uucoinfoit
ahlo is never anybody tint one's own
sen, Onu semis mm loith to wiouk
harm against another who has duno
thei wiong, but with a propositions
scuta of justice he never stlts ou his
mission but ciouthes llnuo ut one's
own door to nnnoy and tortuio tun
keeper of the home. It is only when
one. ronvlpceb him that thero Is no least
crumb left of the loaf of usentinent
for hlb eating una no last chop of tho
heart's blttemesa for his chinking-, no
coriodlng thoughts for his dimming,
that ho vanishes, Now Is a kooiI time
to make him Miuhh.
The gill who can do peedlowoik has

Avlthln the recollection of the modem
woman when so much handwork went
Into tho details of feminine npparcl. It
Is u poor sort of gown 'which has not n

belts, collars mul bnnds down the fronts
of cloth shltlwulsts. Then she has bren
ombroldeilng yokes of white cloth In
huge designs of grapes and tholr leaves,
all done In white. Tho girl who found
one of these In her ChrMmns stocking
was a happy girl,
One young woman wanted to show

Inclination, not to mention means, for
