DECEMBER 5, ST. NICK’S DAY ; Children of Holland and France Look for Santa Claus’ Visit Early in the Month.

iN THE strict order of things children should have hung : । up their stockings for Santa ■ r Claus on Dee. 5, ami re- ■ joiced in his gifts. For It ■

gE

was the feast of St. Nicholas, alias ■ Santa Claus, He has nothing what- : ever to do^with Christmas, ami his ■ visit then an Anglo-Saxon anach- ■ ronfsm, which came from America : fifty vears dgO. As their patron saint, : children were taught to look to Nich- : olas for care and protection. To show : the reality of his love for beys ami j ■ girls, parents related that on Ids eve .: he went up and down the earth re- • warding the good with presents, as he • had in his life secretly thrown purses ; of gold into the rooms of poor maid- ; ens through the window. Children ,; were taught to hang up their stockings which parents acting as the H saint’s deputies filled with sweets, I apples, nuts and toys. Tn England the custom was abolished with the worship of saints at the Reformation, and was re-established in the American guise of l'ather Christmas in the middle of last, century. But It^HolLd Santa Claus makes his visit on tL right day. Dec. 5. Instead of^stockrAgs, the Dutch children place tt^? shrs. with straw in them for the donk' $ on which Nicholas rifles, m fro -rs the fireplace. In the morning d children find pres- . ents there, I the. shoes of the naughty eon tn *>nly a birch. The custom is the ^me in France. In southern Austr a, a young man. arrayed as St. Nicholas. In episcopal robes, visits eacli house and examines the children ip^their catechism. To those who answer well the saint's attendant angels give fruit and sweets, while demons are admitted to terrorize the careless. On going to bed the children place baskets or dishes on the window sill for his future gifts Catholic Germany furnishes the transition between the origin of Nicholas j ami modern Santa Claus. Arrayed as j Father Christmas, be visits each home | and questions the children as to their i past conduct. For the good there arc | cakes and fruit, and for all a lecture. ; He then asks what presents they I would like the Christ-child to bring at Christmas. —London Daily Chronicle, i FOR THEIR CHRISTMAS PARTY Appropriate Decorations Add to the 7--* and Gayety of the Yuletide Festivities.

IF SANTA CLAUS is to be j present at the Christmas par- | j ty supper—and of course he ; j should be invited—he may appear in an automobile, ‘

but in order to be quite orthodox he should be driving his eight reind< er i through the snow; and therefore the. hostess should use a strip of snowy ; cotton w’ool plentifully sprinkled with frost for the table center. Purchase; a somewhat large Chugs; b»* • will be most effective dressed in a brown cloak with scarlet hood and cap. A fancy basket in the form of a w’heelbarrow or chariot will answer the puri»ose for his sleigh, and should be loaded with presents of all kinds. The reindem-, which can be filled with sweets, may he harnessed to the sleigh with scarlet ribbons on which have! been sewn a number of tiny hells. At intervals down the table place boxes of bonbons in the form of Yule logs, with garlands of berried holly ami mistletoe arranged from log to log. the menus to be in banner form, each one being held by a miniature l’ather Christmas. A Cinderella scheme for the supper table is pretty. For the center pur clm<e from your florist the wire fram of a coach. Cover it thinly with moss, binding it on with hemp; then cover it with scarlet gertunums. attaching the blossoms to the coach with fine silver wire; harness two milk-white toy horses to it with ribbons to match the geraniums. A smart little coach man and footman must be placed on their respective places, and a doll to represent Cinderella dressed for the ball should be sitting inside. Appropriate presents to be placed for the children would consist of a slipper filled w ith sweeties for each • little boy, and a doll dressed as a । fairy in white gauze spotted with sil > ver stars, holding a tiny wand, would ' delight the heart of each little girl. l lA z HIS SUGGESTION "We’fl have to economize this I Christmas, my dear.” “Yes, but how?" “I’ve an idea. Let’s give your relatives the same kind of cheap gifts we always give my folks.” Tit for Tat. The Poet: “May I read you my new j Christmas poem?’’ The Musician: “Yes, if you'll let me play you my new Christmas cantata." —Fliegende Blatter. Madagascar Gold. A curiositj preserved at tin* Philadelphia mint is a small consignment of gold from Madagascar, which is of an extraordinary brightness. It was mined, smelted ami put up for shipment 1^ natives, who, for a receptacle, took a piece of bamboo six inches long and two inches in diameter, polishing the outside t<> glasslike smoothness. Then they put a wooden cork in one end, poured in the melted gold and corked up the other end.

- School for Belgian Farmei-s. The Belgian government has hit upon a novel scheme of teaching the I farmers of the country better methods lof farming, says Motor. The idea of ! a school for farmers is not new, but | the idea of taking the school to the ■ farmer by means of a motor caravan ’ Is certainly novel. The school build- ' ■ 'ng consists of three units, one pow- 1 ' ered with a gasoline motor; in short a building section on a motor truck. With this powered unit go two trailers and the three rolled into position and joined together make the commo- ( j dious and convenient class room. — Gravity Labeler Useful. The gravity labeler makes a wide departure from all previous belt machines as one of extreme simplicity, says the Scientific American. Starting . from a receiving shelf, the cans roll ; down an inclined track, passing first ' over an open tray of adhesive and • i then over the label stack, picking up , a label in their progress. The cans i then pass under a battery of brushes, , thus firmly affixing the labels. The i machine will work at lightning speed, । being limited only by the rate at which operatives can place cans on the in- 1 dined shelf, 1 JU 1 w Charm to Ribbon A | i WW i/W A morning jacket, a boudoir cap, a powder puff and little hand mirror, all owing their charm to lovely ribbons, are gift suggestions appearing ab^ve. The jacket and cap are made by setting together strips of narrow satin ribbon and Vai lace.
