Here are piles of snowy tissue paper, and yonder, piles of fresh wrapping paper. There's a bolt or so of scarlet ribbon, and perhaps a heap of holly. There are all the cards carefully prepared and we must be sure to get the right one with the right package. And where are the scissors? Oh, yes, we tied them fast to us, so as not to lose them In the melee.,, There's the kitten gently dabbing at a dangling end of ribbon with her paw. That'll never do. She'll soon have it in a tangle. We chase her out. And as we begin operations, we do look regretfully at one or two of the gifts, now honest truly, don't we? and wish we could keep keep the mourselves. There are so many ways of doing up packages cheerily, that it simmers down, after all, to a matter of taste. We can wrap them in green paper and tie them with scarlet ribbon, or we can do them up in red paper and tie them with green ribbon. Or we can use gold or tinsel cord for the tying. Or we can use the plain manilla paper and red or green twine, if expense is an item that must be considered. We can use Christmas tags and Christmas seals, or we can stick a little twig of holly. The main thing is not to overdo. A package, that is flamboyantly red and green and Christmas tags and seals and holly and bows of ribbon really looks weighted down. with its burden of Christmas spirit. A package that is wrapped in plain white paper, tied with red twine, and which vears a vivid spray of holly is really in better taste than the one overloaded with Christmas fixings. We should not, as some do, just slap on a lot of Christmas tags and seals and ribbon and thing we have hereby given a Christmas air. We should carefully thing out a manner of wrapping that will be cheery, yet 6imple and refined. But when wrapping the packages, plan to be as economical of your strength as possible. Notwithstanding the pleasure of making them ready, it is a tiresome process, and every detail should be thought out before hand to save steps. If many gifts are to.be sent, it is really wisest to have a list and to check them off. Else you may forget whether you got the pin-tray or the vase for Mamie Jones. Or you may discover when all are packed

and gone, that you have sent the calendar you intended for Mrs. Brown to Mrs. White, whom you had finally decided to omit from your gift list this

year. When one is tired and there is much to do, it isn't always best toj trust to memory, especially, if there j is need for hurry. j Then, if possible, have a pair of j scales at home and weigh the pack- J ages that are to be sent by mail and stamp them before you take them to the postoffice. This may save you a j wearisome wait, of a half hour or so ; in a line, to get your packages weigh- j ed and stamped. During the days be-1 fore Christmas, the postoffice windows are crowded, and if you can weigh an dstamp your packagees weigh and stamp your packages ly the gainer. On all packages sent by mail, be sure to put your name and address in the upper left-hand corner. And thus in their cheery Christmas dress that speaks to all who handle them of their message of good will, send them fort to carry your loving thought to those who are to receive them. Muncie Star.

Dreams are due to au increase of sensation and circulation over that which exists in profound sleep. Observations made upon patients with cranial defects show that when we are dreaming the brain is greater in volume than in deep sleep aud less than when we are awake. Thus this intermediate volume of blood would indicate that dreams are an intermediate stage between unconsciousness and wakefulness, and their incomplete and irregular intelligence would indicate the same thing. This Increased circulation is usually due to sensory stimulation affecting the vasomotor center and causing a return of blood to the hend. with resultant increased consciousness. Contrary to popular belief, dreams in themselves do not contribute to light or broken sleep in which they are present. Such a condition is due to the ever present stimuli, which according to their strength or tbe degree of irritability of the cells, maintain even in sleep a varying degree of consciousness of which the dreams are merely a manifestation. Therefore the fatiguing effect often also attributed to dreams is not due to them, but to the lighter degree of sleep and less complete cell restoration which they accompany and which are due to some irritation. Atlantic. A Painful Mistake. Bitter experience is a wonderful teacher. No doubt the young lady of whom London Ideas tells had often been told that she ought to wear glasses, but had neglected or refused to do so. There was a most determined look In her eye, however, as she marched Into the optician's shop. "I want a pair of glasses immediately," she said. "good, strong ones. I won't be without them for another day!" "Good, strong ones?" "Yes. please. I was out in the country yesterday, and 1 made a very painful blunder, which I have no wish to repeat." "Indeed! Mistook an entire stranger for an old friend, perhaps?" "No. nothing of the sort. I mistook a bumblebee for a blackberry." Life In Persian Oases. Dr. Sven Fledin, describing his overland Journey to India across the Persian desert, gives a graphic account of the oases where his party occasionally camped under palm trees. There the singing birds which twitter during tbe day are silent at night, but the "song of the desert" Is continued during the hours of darkness by the melancholy serenade of tbe jackals. These oases are Infested by three objectionable and dangerous Inhabitants a deadly snake, black and white scorpions and a poisonous tarantula spider, which, although it lives out In the desert. Is attracted to tbe oases by tbe light of the campfires. Her Self Sacrifice. "She's awfully self sacrificing. "How do you make that out?" "Well, she stayed at home from church Sunday to sit up with a sick woman." "Huh: She isn't a regular churchgoer. I don't see anything self sacrificing in that." "You don't?

which have sought to reproduce life among the Society of Friends but which have been out of drawing, whose perspectives have been dimmed and whose color values have not balanced. The outsider may write convincingly of many things save Quakerism. For unless he is on the right side of the footlights he is entirely unable to give it the proper "atmosphere." This was amusingly illustrated recently in this city in "The Girl of My Dreams," when the principals talked the strangest lingo, presumably "the plain language.' but really a sort of, mongrel linguism which gave to that ; otherwise delightful "evening's en tertainment" a certain grotesquerie. The author, of Quaker parentage and thus having what the Friends call f a "birthright membership," was able to reproduce with great faithfulness the personnel, routine and spirit of a Quaker menage photographic in de- j tail. i This, of course, might have been done with success if but a camera-like resultant had been attained. But the latter is not a photograph. It is a painting, delicate but palpi- i fating in color, with subdued nuances j melting indefinably into a background 1 whoso richly-huod tone silhouettes vividly the figures and objects in the com position. The principals in the caste, to vary the figure, all of that high-bred type known to the world as the essence of Quakerism live and move and have their boing most humanly, the action all revolving about the imaginative little boy, one fancies the writer of the story himself, the pleas ures and restrictions of his life and those of the grownups with whom he was surrounded. It is a pleasant picture of "ante-bellum" days in New York, the setting shifting to the country and the seashore, and. aside from its peculiar interest in its life-like delineation of a Quaker environment, appeals in its universal aspect the child-mind drawing its conclusions from its particular point of vantage. The writer is the possessor of an alluring narrative style which lends itself admirably to this form of character drawing and story-tellng and of a humour most exquisite. In the parlance of the vaudevillians there are innumerable "laughs" in book one, not of the nature called forth, however, by the axe-hewn jokes hurled over the vaudeville footlights with bomb-like force, if not always with accuracy of aim but of tha.t delightful and irresistible sort which is a natural result of the action and progress of the plot j rather than in detached and unrelated situations. It is the humour of Moliere, if if might so be put, in contradistinction to that of George Cohan, say. "Dorothy Day" herself is not introduced until the writer goes to college, in book two, and while a charming I figure, does not dominate tbe action. ! She is, indeed, a bit illusory, flashing in and out of the picture and is an art-like creature, fond of fantastic if harmless tricks at the expense of her infatuated admirer but later found to be possessed of what is sometimes denominated "sterling qualities."

tions upon their fidelity to the families of their owners: "We found that no negro would betray his master or his master's family. Was this affection, was it fear, or the mere habit of servitude? No doubt there were varied ingredients In this fidelity. But faithful he was, and kind, and now, after the lapse of forty years I am reluctant to believe 'be stories of the wild passions of a savage race that threaten the homes of the South, and require the halter, the vlvla'y lne vision Mr. Foulke's humour expresses it self epigrammatic-ally at times and his observations on the American traveling abroad are amusing. In instance: "When we reached Paris we found infinite opportunities for diversion in the attempts of some of our fellow Americans to make themselves understood in a language which no one could comprehend. There was Mr. Jones, for example, whose practice it was to repeat all he said in English at the top of his voice, it being a well known principle that no language is i unintelligible if you will only speak it loud enough. "There was Grubbs gesticulating to J a cabman and wildly revolving his ! arms in the air, as indication that he wanted to go to the railway station, whereupon cabby, with a smile of intelligence, drove him to a shop where ;they sold velocipedes." S "Two-thirds of the ill-mannered men of the world owe their bad graces to their timidity. They are rude or j reserved because they are afraid to i be natural." j "All through life I have had a con stant dread of a silent, well-dressed, experienced man-servant. Whenever his own manners are irreproachable it always seems to me that he is offering a silent criticism upon mine, ,and that when tried by his inexorable standard, I must very often fall far short of what I ought to be." Of a family dog it was said: "His instinct toward depravity was unerring. The boys who stole our water-melons were never molested, but our friends were all bitten in due form immediately upon their arrival." Of General Robert E. Lee. the great Confederate, Mr. Foulke writes justly and appreciatively and the latter part of his book will doubtless be regarded as a valuable contribution to the contemporary commentary on the Civil War.

Tho Intercollegiate Bureau of Occupation. MISS FRANCES Ct) If MINOS, For a good many years past the college girl who has completed ber course and faced about to make her own way in life has been confronted with ths fact that practically uo held was open to her except that of teaching. Of late, however, the college graduate has beguu to reach out toward a different state of things. In New York city, where the number of college women seeking vocations other than teaching Is very large, this need is being met by the newly organized intercollegiate bureau of occupations. The bureau, which Is la reality a superior sort of employment agency, dealing only with the higher grades of specialized service, has been inaugurated and is at present supported by the New York alumnae associations of eight leading women's colleges. It aims not only to secure congenial occupations for exceptionally equipped women, but to supply employers with a more intelligent and responsible class of workers, in this way creating a demand for the specialised Service which can be secured ouly from women who have been well educated and mentally trained. Tbe work of this new bureau is the outgrowth of an effort mode by tbe members of the New York alumnae organization of Smith college to help solve this problem for Smith graduates who wished to do other things besides teaching. After some months of Investigation and consultation the Smith college alumnae In New York city offered to contribute $1,000 toward the establishment of such a bureau, provided the New York alumnae of some other women's college would donate a like sum. The alumnae of Vassar promptly responded to this proposition, for there was the same desire among Vassar students to enter upon vocations other than teaching. These two organizations then took the matter up with other college alumnae clubs in New- York city, -.nd ..'he result, was

Throughout the entire venture Miss Mary Van Kleeck. herself a Smith college graduate, has been tbe moving spirit. She is the president of the bureau: Mrs. Charlotte J. Farnsworth of Weliesley. an authority on vocational and social training for women. Is vice president: Miss Ethel Stebbins of Cornell is secretary, and Miss Antoinette Putman-Cramer of Smith is treasurer. There is an sArisory board composed of the presidents of the eight colleges in the bureau, as well as a local board of directors composed of twentytwo members of the New York alumnae organizations. These local directors are in close touch with the officers or committees having charge of recommendations in each of tbe women's colleges concerned, so that tbe needs of girls stili in college can be made known to the bureau and new vocations for women may be communicated to students who are planning their future work. The bureau also co-operates with the appointment bureau of the Women's Educational and Industrial union In IioKtot. which is doing a similar work. nni there U a kindred movement on foot in Philadelphia. Miss Frances Cummings, the executive manager of the bureau, is an Interesting example of its effectiveness in getting the right nersou Into the

right place. Miss Cummings, also a Smith graduate who did not want to i teach, spent the first four years after leaving college In secretarial work, which gave her a wide experience in clerical, filing and executive methods. She then entered the tenement house department of New York city, where seven years of promotion brought her to a responsible executive position as a reviewer of Inspectors' reports. This thorough groundwork of executive experience, coupled with the cultural training of her college course, fitted her admirably for tbe broad demands of her present position. Miss Cuczuings' sympathy with tbe college girl's ambitions and her complete understanding of the technical requirements of tbe average employer enable her to mediate very wisely between tbe two.
