'Handkerchief pool" may be started
at a moinei! 's notice, for there need
be no preparation. If the party numbers

many numbers, l'rom 1 to 10, inclusive,
distributed among them. Then each

a corner of his handkerchief ami pins

handkerchiefs ii|>on the carpet in the
miil'llo of the room. Then once more
lite pianist strikes up u lively tune,
ami everybody skips nr dances about
in a circle around the "pool." At any
moment the music may suddenly stop.
Then ev rybmlv must seize a handkerchief
frot i the pool. Immediately the
music strikes up nptaiu. and all start
off in the frolicsome circuit, meanwhile
unpinning the corner of the
handkerchief to find out the number
each has drawn.

and again the music stops
unexpectedly, and everybody scrambles
for a number, one player, of
course, securing none. Those who fall
to draw a number to match the one
pinned in their handkerchief must toss
the number back into the pool, and the
frolic goes on until the music again
stops, und another rush Is made.
Those who gain their duplicate first
tie their handkerchiefs about their

DO YOUR CHRISTMAS
BUYING CHEERFULLY; I
IT'S GOOD EXERCISE
*;45&
CUUISTMAS shopping is filled
with hustle, extdement. pleas- i
ur?; ami good exercise. Whoever
lias nut tasted tlieno tilings
I has vet to experience all of the joys of
| Christ mas.
It is true every shopper, once arrived
home, vows Christmas is a nuisance;
that it is the part of wisdom to j
have it only once a year; that next
Christmas some younger muiuhor of;
the family must take upon herself the
onerous, fatiguing. brain wrecking,
nerve straining work. I bit no one who
hears this declaration takes it for more
than its tuIuo? wliieh is inlinitesiuuil
for wlueii the next Christmas puts in.
iLs appearance and shops and stores
ami streets are onee more alive with
hurrying humanity and pood natured
crowds the shopper who voted it "killin?"
this year will plunge into the ex
eiteuuuit as of old. with greater enjoy
meat than ever.
It is true the elbowing of one's way
through crowds, the long waits in the.
stores, the standing in cars almost i
bursting with their load of human lie- |
ings and the despairing delays of j
these selfsame ears are apt to leave \
very little balance en one's account of j
cheerfulness. In spite of these bin- !
drances. however, lies the true satis-!
faction, if not real pleasure, of having j
purchased for this one or that some i
little surprise which has been longed
for. but never expected.
For mental attitude and for a hint
from the athletic teachers the wise
woman will go into the work of Christmas
shopping with the exhilarated
feeling rightfully attached to any form
of pleasant and exciting exercise. The
cultivation of this spirit will make the
crowds, the discomforts and the inevitable
disappointments of the annual
gift purchasing experience no more ,
worm ireuiug over or iKinoing man
the varied experiences of the athletic
field or gymnasium. and It will bring
the aforementioned wise woman up to
Christmas day in the most enviable
and desirable physical condition she
could fancy or imagine, for everything
depends upon the manner in
which the feminine shopper attacks
the Christmas situation, and a well
conducted round of Christinas slumping
provides as much fun as the mer
riest game of basketball or tennis and
stirs up and strengthens neglected
muscles just as well.
| HOW WE GOT OUR j ;
CHRISTMAS HYMNS. !
f
Many popular Christmas hymns |j
nave a nipsi interesting History. loose |(
who have heard the waits and enrol- g
ers sing "ITark. the Herald Angels
Sing!" on Christmas eve will be astonished
to know that many years ago it
was rendered "Hark, How All the _
Welkin Rings!" and was sung to the ]<
tune of "See. the Conquering ITero b
Conies." When this former wording y
was adopted in the new hymn book of Ii
the "Hymns Ancient and Modern."
there was a great storm of criticism
from those who prefer the modern ver- !
sion. The hymn was written by , j
Charles Wesley. ]
The author of "Christians. Awake: o
Salute the Ilappy Morn!" was John I n
Hyimn, Manchester's famous man of i A
letters, who was horn at Kersal in I dpi .
I'.yrom had several children, hut. like
many another father, there was a favorite.
This child was a little girl j
named Holly. A few days previous to j
Christmas Mr. Byroin, after having I
a romp with the favorite. Dolly,
promised to write her something nice
for Christmas morning. On the morning
of the great day, when she sat
down to breakfast, sbe found on her
plate an envelope, addressed to her in
her father's handwriting. It was the
first thing she opened, and. to her
great delight, it proved to bo n Christmus
carol addressed to her, and to her
alone. 0
Another verv noniilnr f'hri?tmna
hymn to that entitled "As With Gladness
Men of Old." It Is remarkable
that this rbeerful hymn was written sj
at a time of great depression. The ie
author, William ChHtterton Dix, who ff
died In 11)00, had l>oen seriously ill for
lonjt time, and he wm feeling dls- yj
eonsolate an<l miserable.
Due evening, after he had been some '
weeks In bed, he felt a great deal K
better, and while in this Improved state
he eonoeivod the Idea of writing a
Christmas hymn, end as a result of
this we get ".I* With Gladness Men of li
Old." n
"Onee In Royal David's City" is the c'
most popular Christmas hymn for ehil S1
dren. If was written by Mrs. Alex- (^j
nnder, who also wrote those famous (,
hymns, "There Is a Green II1II Far
Awjiv" Miwl "Wn Arn In if T Htl/v f'Kll.
