HELPFUL HINTS COLLARS AND CUFFS If you plan to use ready-made collars and cuffs on your dress, buy them first and cut the neck of the dress to fit it. SEWING HINTS If your machine puckers thin material, when you sew a steam, slip a strip of paper under the material and stitch through it with the goods. This will prevent the pucker, The paper can be easily torn away afterward, FOR KEEPING HANDS SOFT If you like to wear gloves for housework, but your hands perspire too freely, try putt ing on a pair of cotton gloves first They will absorb the moisture and help to protect your hands. They are easy to wash, too. The dry skin, of course does not need this extra layer, A well-known skin specialist giyes this advice to his women pa- tients and it is worth passing on, TO CLEAN VELVET FROCKS The velvet frocks that are so fashionable just now have an en- noying way of showing every fing- er mark and impression. The eas. fest and most effective way of re- moving these marks is to hang the dress in the bathroom while a hot bath is in progress. The hot steam will remove the marks ' without further effort on your part. Whan your velour hat gets rain-spotted try brushing up the pile with a stiff brush.

A cold, hard-hearted, grasp- ing miser was EBENEZER SCROOGE, His partner fin business, JACOB MARLEY, had been lle him, But Mar- Jey had bee: dead seven years, On Christmas Xve Scrooge had a visitor, It was the Ghost of Marley. Wrapped in | clanking chains, and raising dreadful cries, the Ghost re- pented its wasted life and told Scrooge he was wrong to shut mankind out of his heart, "You shall be haupted ny three Spirits," sald Marley's Ghost, "The first will call when the clock strikes One." And it did, It called itself the Ghost of Christmas Past, On the wings of the wind it ' bore Scrooge back through the years and let him see himerelf | once more as & boy-a Doy | much like other boys--then as a young man beginning to wor~ ship money, and begluning to { lose the love of his fellow | men, The Spirit then departed, and the second one apépared, this one galling itself the Ghost of Christmas Present, It takes Scrooge to the home of BOB CRATCHIT, Bcrooge's poverty-stricken clerk. There Serooge, invisible to the fam- ily, sees happiness and Christ. mas spirit, And he sees TINY TIN CRATCHIT, the little cripple, with a merry heart, Then the Spirit takes Scrooge to the home of his nephew, where they look in upon anoth- er gay party. NOW GO ON WITH THE BTORY X Topper had cieariy got his eye ppon ope of Scrooge"s niece's sis- ers, for he answered that =a pachelor was a wretched outcast, who had no right to express an spinjon on the subject, Whereat jerooge's niece's sister----the plump me with the lace tucker; not the me with the roses blushed, "Do go on, Fred," sald Serooge's | tlece, clapping her hands, "He | sever finishes what he begins to jay! He is such a ridiculous fel- ow!" Scrooge's nephew revelled in an- pther laugh, and as it was impos- sible to keep the infection off, though the plump sister tried hard to do it with aromatic vinegar, his sxample was unanimously follow- Md. "I was only going to say," sald Berooge's nephew, that the conse- quence of his taking a dislike to us, and not making merry with us, is, as I think, that he loses some pleasant moments, which could do him no harm. I am sure he loses pleasanter companions than he can find in his own thoughts, either in his mouldy old office or his dusty chambers, I mean to give him the same chance every year, whether he likesvit or not, for I pity him, He may ral] dies, but he can't help at Christmas till he | thinking | better of it----I defy him.-if he finds | me going there, in good temper, year after year, and saying, "Uncle Serooge, how are you?" If it only put him in the vein to leave his poor clerk fifty pounds, that's some- thing; and I think I shook him yesterday." It was their turn to laugh now, at the notion of His shaking Scrooge. But peing thoroughly good-natured, and not much caring what they laughed at, so that they laughed at any rate, he encouraged hem In tnerr morrmment, and passed the hottls, joyously. After tea they had some music, For they. were a musical family, and knew what they were about when they sung a Glee or Catch, 1 ean assure you; especially Topper, who could grow! away in the bass like a good one, and never swell the large veins in his forehead, or get red in the face over It, Scrooge's niece played well upon the harp; and played, among other tunes, a simple air (a mere nothing; you might learn to whistle it in two minutes) which had been familiar to the child who fetched Scrooge from the boarding-school, ns he had been reminded by the Ghost of Christmas Past, When this strain of music sounded, all the things that Ghost had shown him come upon his mind, he softened more and more; and thought that if he could have listened to It often, years ago, ha might have cultivated the kindnesses of life for his own happiness with his own hands, without resorting to the mexton's apade that buried Jacob Marley, But they didn't devote the whole ovening to music, After a while they played at forfeits; for it is good to {ye children sometimes, and never bbtter than at Christmas when fits mighty Founder. was a child himself. Stop! There was first a game at blindman's-bluff, Of course there was, And I no more belleve Topper was really blind than I believe he had eyes in his boots, My opinion is, that it was a done thing between him and Scrooge's nephew; and that the Ghost of Christmas Present knew it, The way he went after that plump sister In the lace tucker was an outrage on the credulity of human nature. Knocking down the fire- {rons, tumbling over the chairs, pumping up against the plano, smothering himself amongst the curtaing, wherever she went, there went he. He always knew where the plump sister was. He wouldn't catch anybody else, If you had fallen up against him (as some of them did) on purpose, he would have made a feint of endeavoring to seize you, which would have been an affront to your undertaking, and would inatantly have sidled off in the direction of the plump sister. She often cried out that it wasn't fair; and it really was not, But when, at last, he caught her; when, in spite of all her silken rustlings, and her rapid flutterings past him, les Dickens, he got her into a corner whence there was no escape; then his con~ duct was the most execrable, For his pretending not to know her; his pretending that it was neces- sary to touch her head-dress, and further to assure himself of her identity by pressing a certain ring upon her finger, and a certain chain about her neck; was vile, mon strous! No doubt she told him her opinion of it when, another blind man being In office, they were so very confidential together behind the curtains, Serooge"s niece was not one of the blindman's-buff party, but was made comfortable with a large chair and a footstool, In a snug corner where the Ghost and Scrooge were close behind her, But she joined * In the forfeits, and loved her to love to admiration with all the letters of the alphabet, Likewise at the game of How, When and Where, she was very great, and, to the secret joy of Scrooge's nephew, beat ner sisters hollow; though they were sharp girls too, as Topper could have told you, There might have heen twenty people there, young and old, hut they all played, and so did Scrooge; for wholly forgetting, In the inter~ est he had in what was going on, that his volce made no sound In their ears, he sometimes came out with his guess quite loud, and very often guessed right, too; for the sharpest needle, hest Whitechapel, warranted not to cut in the eye, was not sharper than Scrooge, become so gay and light of heart, that he would have pledged the un~ conscious company in return, and thanked them in an inaudible speech, if the Ghost had given him time. But the whole scene passed off in the breath of the last word spoken by his nephew; and he and the Spirit were again upon thelr travels, Much they saw, and far they went, and many homes they visited, but always with a happy end, The Spirit stood beside sick-beds, and they were. cheerful; on foreign lande, and they were close at home; by struggling men, and they were patient in their greater hope; by poverty, and it was rich, In alms house, hospital, and gaol, in mis~ ery's every refuge, where vain man in his little brief authority had not made mast the door, and barred the Spirit out, he left his blessing and taught Scrooge his precepts, It was a long night, if it were only a night; but Scrooge had his donbt of this, because the Christ. mas holidays appeared to be cone densed into the space of time they passed together, IL was strange, too, that, while Scrooge remained unaltered in his outward form, the Ghost grew older, clearly older, ferooge had observed this change, but mever spoke of it until they left a children's Telfth-Night party, when, looking at the Spirit us they stood together in an open place, he noticed that its hair was Bray. "Are Spirits asked Berooge, "My life upon this globe is ver) brief," replied the Ghost, 'It ends tonight," "Tonight!" eried Scrooge, "Tonight at midnight. The time is drawing near." The chimes were ringing the lives so short?" Hark! Wherever she went, there went he! blunt as he took it in his head to be. The Ghost was greatly pleased to rind him In this mood, and looked upon him with such favour that he begged like a boy to be allowed to stay until the guests departed, But this the Spirit said could not be done, "Hers {sx a new game," sald Scrooge. "One half-hour, Spirit, only one!" It was a game called Yes and No, where Scrooge's nephew had to think of something, and the rest might find out what, he only an- swering to their questions yes or no, as the case was, The brisk fire of questioning to which he was ex- posed elicited from him that he was thinking of an animal, a live animal, rather a disagreeable ani- mal, ~ savage raimal, an animal that growled ana grunted some- times, and talked sometimes and lived in London ,and walked about the streets, and wasn't made =a show of, and wasn't led by any- body, and didn't live in a menag- erie, and was never killed in a market, and was not a horse, or an ass, or a cow, or a bull, or a tiger, or a dog, or a pig, or a cat, or a bear. At every fresh question that was put to him, this nephew burst into a freah roar of laughter; and was so inexpressibly tickled, that he was obliged to get up off the sofa and stamp, At last the plump sister, falling into a similar state cried out: "I have found it out! T know what it is, Fred! TI know what it ia!" "What Is it?" cried Fred. "It's your uncle Scro-0-0-0-0ge," 'Which it certainly was, Admira- tion was the universal sentiment,, though some objected that the re- ply to "Is it a hear?" olight to have been *'Yes'; Inasmuch as an an- swer in the negative was sufficient to have diverted thelr thoughts from Mr, Scrooge, supposing they had ever had any tendency that way. "He has given us plenty of mer- riment, I am sure," sald Fred, "and it would be ungrateful not to drink his health, Here is a glass of mulled wine ready to our hand at the moment; and I say, "Uncle Scrooge!" "Well! cried. "A merry Christmas and a happy New Year to the old man, what ever he is!" said Scrooge's nephew, "He wouldn't take it from me, but may he have it, nevertheless, Uncle Scrooge!" Uncle Scrooge had imperceptibly Uncle Scrooge!' they three-quarters past eleven at thal moment, "Forgive me If I am not justified in what I ask," sald Scrooge, look~ ing intently at the Spirit's robe, "but I see something strange, and not belonging to yourself, protrud- ing from your skirts, It is a foot or a claw?" "It might be a claw, for the flesh there is upon it,"" was the Spirit's sorrowful reply, "Look here!" From the foldings of its robe it brought two children, wretched, abject, frightful, hideous, miser« able, They knelt down at its feet, and clung upon the outside of its garment, "0 Man! look here! Look, look down here!' exclaimed the Ghost, They were a boy and girl, Yel low, meagre, ragged, scowling, wolfigh, but prostrate, too, in their humility, Where graceful youth should have filled their features out, and touched them with its freshest tints, a stale and shrivelled hand, like that of age, had pinched and twisted them, and pulled them into shreds. Where angels might have sat enthroned, devils lurked, and glared out menacing, No change, no degradation' no per. cersion of humanity in any grade through all the mysteries of won- derful creation, has monsters half so horrible and dread. Scrooge started back, appalled. Having themishown to him in this way, he tried to say they were fine children, put the words choked themselves, rather than be parties to a le of such enormous magni- tude. "Spirit! are they yours?' Scrooge could say no more, "They are Man's' sald the Spirit, looking down upon them, 'And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers, This boy {is Igno- rance, This girl is Want. Beware of them both, and all of their de- gree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it!" oried the Spirit, stretching out his hand towards the city, 'Slander those who tell it ye! Admit it for your factions purposes, and make it worse! And bide the end, "Have they no refuge or re- source?' cried Scrooge. "Are there no prisons? sald the Spirit, turning on him for the last time with his own words, "Are there no workhouses?" The bell struck Twelve, Scrooge looked about him for the Ghost, and saw it not. As the last stroke ceased to vibrate, he romems- bered the prediction of old Jacob Marley, and, lifting up his eyes, be-| held & solemn Phantom, draped and ; hooded, coming like & mi along | the ground towards him, (Continued Tomorrow) MILITIA UNIT GROWS INTO HONEY MAKER Signal Corps Does Unique Work in Far North.
