mi CHRISTMAS I??SE.
? little way up one of the Rbiotian Alps,
beneath the shade of an oid black p:ne, grew
e Chris?j?as rosei* The Stimmer had passed,
end the short days had como, when the wind
blows and the snow flies, and the hardy little
mountain rose had two buds, "Dear me,**
fretted the rose. "I wish I could biossom
wrheu other plants do. There would be some
pleasure in displaying oaeself for the dainty
blue gentian or the pretty cyebrigbt, but
xpith no to admh-e me, I see no use in
blooming at all**
"Ho*, bor laughed the old pine, waving his
shaggy arms, *Ho! col what a little grum
bler. -The snow and I wi-i admire you. You
are named after the blessed Chris? unid, end
cngat to be happy and contented Push up
through the dee;>enmg snow, little friend,
and expand your bads into perfect blossoms;
we were all made for a ?iss purpose, and we
sball know what it is when the time comes
IT?
Just then the north wind blew so hard the
old pine was cuite out of breath, and for
some reason he never renewed the conversa
tion.
* the world is dead except th? pine and
QCv mttrrrmrcd the rose, ~and perhaps I had
bctSer follow his advice, if I was made for
a wise purpose ? shall not be forgotten.** So
Ae took good care of her beautiful buds, and
the day before Christmas the black pine saw
her blossoms, white and perfect, peering up
through the white snow.
Kow. the two little children of Klotz, the
wood outrer, wcro nearly heartbroken, for
their mother was sick, and that morning the
kind neighbor who had watched by her side
through the atgbt had said, "God pity this
home; I four your mother will die before
night.n Their father sat by the fireplace,
speechless with griei. and answered them
ceither by word nor look when they crept up
to him for comfort. " Sc a-t last they stoie oui
o? the<loor, and, hand in- hand, wandered a"
ihort way up the mountain side, following
fbe forester's tracta till they came :n sight of
Ib&ct?ttacfcp?no.
?iXDIXO tics CHKIST?JAS KOSSS.
Tf ali the mothers in the world wore dying j
that hard old pine would not. care;" said the !
boy, bitter'y. **Lct us go back into the vai- ;
ley, sister: there we will find good pc>p?<\ |
with kind hearts, while here there is no one j
to caro for us. '
There is one who cares for ss oven here,**
cried the sisi.-r. sj.ying the Christrnas roses,
and in a moment she had r*craped away the
snow and plucked them. "Wc had forgotten
the Christ chih\t and that to-morrow is His
birthday. Let us take the roses to the
church, and there pray that our mother's life
may be spared, ~
So they hastened down the mountain to the
vfiiage church, where they found tbc- good

Sias t'estiva* He took the Hewers and put
them, wit:: some feathery mos, into a tall

lYheu they returned home their father met

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?
PRETTY PARTY DRESSES AND A
LOVE OF A WEDDING GOWN.
Young: Lacios' Evening Costumes Made
Short, to be of Convenient Dancing
Length?An Apple Blossom Girl.
Cream- Tinted l?r-dal Robes.
About this tiine of the year a good many
young ladies \vil? be wanting to be married,
to have large weddings, ".swell'' receptions
and beautiful toilets. For such, here is a
wedding dress that is a perfect dream.
The wedding gown cf Mrs. Cleveland made
iyory tinted satin for the time the fashiona
ble material ior that purpose. The cream
tmteci fabrics are both fashionable and beau
tiful. Cream surah with lace of the same
hue is cue of the prettiest of costumes, and
not so very expensive. Cream satin and
gros grain are other suitable fabrics.
The iRustration shows a wedding gown of
combination creara lace and surah. It speaks
ior itself.
The sleeves, overskirt and train are of
surah. The underskirt- is of surah, covered
wich. lace. Fiouucings of lace can be had
deep enough for the entire skirt, so that they
wiR not need to be cut, but can be simply
draped -u-ound in one piece. Veil of fine silk
tulle. Slipper* of the silk or satin of the
dress, or of satin to match in color.
PARTY IMtKSSES.
As suitable to the season we present two
graceful evening dresses for young iadies.
As a rale, young ladies- parly dresses are
nor- made with a
train. They are
supposc-d to be fond
Of dancing. Tbey
ought to be. if they
are not, and their
gowns arc fash
ioned, accordingly,
of dancing length.
Fig. 1 is a dress
which makes a girl
?oo? like the apple
blossom which
blooms in the
spring time. The
.short skirt- is kilt
plaited all around.
It is of pink gros
grain or faille. The
overdraping is of
pink and white
brocade. The waist
and short pufied
sleeves are of the
1 a i h goods. A
fichu of the bro
cade crosses the.
breast, and one end
is fastened nt the
waist by a bunch
Fio. L 0f a,.,p?d blossoms.
Bows of pink or^ white ribbon. The long
gloves reach, nearly to the short sleeves. Pink
stockings and dancing slippers.
rig. :? i; another party dress that proves
the days arc long gone by when high headed
daines with swiping.trains walked through
minuets as stately a* tbenicelves. Larfies nre
morf-like live b:un:in beings and less like
mummies now.
Fig. 2 shows a young lady's party dress of
white chenille dot
ted talle. It is very
b'ght und cloud
like. The skirt; is
gathered quito fut?
upon a ^hite satin
foundation. Thick
gathered ftiiS of
the tulle are made
and put around the
skirt fortiiauuing
The drapery is very

with pink rose?

We're likely to grow so despicably selfish if
there was no Christmas to remind us that we
could make somebody else jrlad. And when
you come right down to solid facts, the dear,
grotesque old myth, Santa Clans, has done
more, toward expanding the human heart and
keeping it tender toward the children and the
poor than all the sermons. What would we
do without this good genius of Babyiaud who
fills the stockings while their owners are
away in the beautiful Land of Nod?:
Tho simple unquestioning faith they
iiuve in him is worth more than the
crown of kings. There is no danger of the
earth being made too good by a gush
of generosity. We still" have all the" old
scourges and a few new ones. Tho Russian
j exiles still toil in agony in the Siberian mines..
\ The gaunt wolf of lamine siili prowls
j through the streets of great cities and on
j lonely country roads. The forked tongue of
j the hydra-bea. led devil of slander strikes here
; and there doing irs blasting work. Tbe
; north wind stings through the beggar's rags.
; The hot- breath of disease still leaves its olden
! track of sorrow in the houses of the rich and
the hovels cf '-he poor, and the old. old mar
plot, Death, is as formidable .as ever. Oh.
no. there is no danger of the grim old -verb'
get-ting too good even for a day, but through
the leaden sky there gleam such stars oi
promise that- one can almost forget that
Chris mas trees are sawed off at the base a a
have sticks for roots.
'Speaking of Christmas trees," said the
cynic, "I saw the most miserable caricature
of one to-day that couid be imagined. It was j
a east off limb from some Dives' umbrageous
one. A small Lazarus had dragged it home,
set it up near the front window in the pater
nal shanty and strung it full of his miserarlo
possessions. There wasn't an article worth a
penny in the lot. The collection was the
most depressing one ever on exhibition. Small
chunks of nothing wrapped in greasy paper,
clusters of old buttons found on the sidewalk
from time to time, bits of leather, nails, whit
tled sticks, pieces of colored glass, and a small
china doll with both arms and legs broken
off, comprised the assortment. Being a
cynic, I'm not much given to emotional
ecstasy, but could iiave wept over this
serious burlesque of Christmas cheer. And
that's about what Christmas means to half
the people. The blaster and plea-ure of the
well-to-do only emphasizes the distress of the
poverty stricken. The Christmas angels are
not impartial. They fly swiftly over the
roofs of the wretched and linger long by the
hearthstones of the rich.'7
The optimist smiled and sighed as he
musingly answered : "Yes, the miilenium is
a long way off, but there is some good will
among us, some generosity, -some unseliish
ness, some almost perfect love, and some
hope for the future of the race. We can't
all have fall Christmas trees any more than
we can ail have continual joy and riches and
contentment. It isn't in the plan; but it's
something for a few to have pleasure. It has
been said that if you make children happy
while they are children, you make them
happy twenty years Later by the memory of j
it. The rain of sorrow will fall upon them i
soon enough. Care aod grief, old age and
death are waiting for them down the road."
"We'd, I wish the faise would be rung out
and the true rung in as soon as possible," said
tho cynic, as he walked away. G. Or.
Something You iSTeed?Shorthand.
"Why?"
Because it will aid you more than an j-thing
else in acquiring knowledge. Because it will
serve vou in case of misfortune.
' How can it be learned ?":
3y.the aid of a book studied at home and
lessons by rnail-from an accomplished teacher.
"At what expense ?"
The trifling sum of $6 00. including book.
' Why so cheap when CoMegesadvertise the
same coarse of instruction for $25?
Because a new text-nook is i^ed that re
duces the labor of learning proportionately
to the difference in price by the system being
made simpler than heretofore and more pnvc
