A The Christmas shopper is abroad in the land, and there are as many vari- eties of him, and more especially of her, as there are varieties of the human . om divine. And there's only one !ind that's any good, the, kind that give their gifts to please the one to whom they give. There is a kind too, now, that mustn't be forgotten, and a very good kind it is--those who give because it pleases them to. Its a bit selfish of course, but if the only selfishness in the world consisted in indulging the pleasure of giving, we wouldn't need many homilies on this very common fault. We could all be more generous than we think. "It nev- er was loving that emptied the heart, nor piving that emptied the purse," vou know. But let us with our lavishness, judgment also. Nowadays, fortunately the woman of no judgment, and less thste is hampered in the committal of mistakes, by the fact, there are few things in the shops whi h have not some degree of beauty. No longer does an imposible lady in blue velvet walk across the snow-covered ground, to an impossible house where in a blaze of impossible light, 4 Christmas party is in progress. No longer is one shown monstrosities in plush albums. No longer are concoctions of green satin, with black and gilt legs, with an im- 10 sille sewlig hic inside, set forth to tempt the buyer to spend money, and the receiver to spend the least polite part of our expressive English tongue. instead there are hooks, such a migh- ty army of them. One or two in par- ticular would make such good Christ- was gifts, "A Nonscnse Anthology," and "Canadian Singers and 'lheir Songs," the latter costing twenty-five cents, and containing fac-similes some of the best Canadian poems, with a halftone engraving on the op posite page. Fancy ! And the world of good pictures, photographs, engrav- ings, and the beautiful sepia tones, is in easy reach of even the shortest purse. But what ever you give be it in good taste or bad, don't let it be use ful useful. There's nothing so maddening as the useful present. You may give it in love, but it will be re- ceived in hate. Your intentions may be of the best, you'll get credit for the worst. Well does the writer remember two small girls once upon z time who wanted to become Nihilists, and all be- cause they stockings,--nasty, warm, comfortable stockings, when they did so want a pair of new saddle girths and a bracelet. And by the way il you are a wife, don't buy your hus- band cigars, you are sadly apt to make mistakes, neither, if you are a husband, get your wife neck embellish ments or crimping irons, for vou may go astray. It mightn't be out of place to suggest, too, that for once the rich cease to to the rich, to give of abundance to abun lance. What's the use of send- ing teaspoons to the woman who has already a number suflicient to obviate the necessity of borrowing from her neighbor, even when giving the big- oest kind of afternoon tea? A box of sweets with the kindly wish would arry the intention, and there would be some nice crisp dollars in hand to turn, into Christmas treats for the poor, the cold, the starving, tbe mis A pretty thoughtful little idea which doesn't really. cost anything, is to wrap your gift whatever it is up in several thiknesses of white tissue paper, tie it with pretty colored cord, and stick a sprig of holly in. It's only a touch, but it enhances the gift sev en-fold, The poor male creature who has a host of adiniring female relations has a hard time of it at this season of vear for not only is he sore beset, know ing just-what to buy for them all, but his nerve i: weakened in the contem- | plation of the gifts which will be showered on him. Why won't our sex i learn that a man never, not even for love of the dearest girl in" the -world, | puts his necktes in an embroidered case, and ties them in with its pretty blue ribbons ? Neither will he lay his shirts in the dainty quilted sachet business which has cost you much money and more time, Stll less, if he has an ounce of nice big man in him, will he put his slippers in slipper case. i or wear embroidered hatbands.

Have the iron only moder ately hot. Spread the velvet, face up- ward, on a clean ironing board, and {smooth it with the iron, taking great 'pains to press the right way of the nap, as it must be ironed the way , the pile faces best. Keep the iron moving all the time, for if allowed to stand at all it leaves a mark that cannot be erased. After going all over the surface of the dry velvet, ironing always in the same direction, steam the velvet thoroughly, and then go over it a second time, It can- not .be pressed too much, provided | the iron is kept running with a heavy, even stroke. This, it is said, soon transforms it into the fashionable, | shimmering panne. A new fur used in London now is that of the Norwegian deer, a skin of great warmth and lightness, which is used for lining cloth coats, and with chinchilla collar and cufis makes a Leautiful winter garment. A hat worn for skating in London is the "Incroy able," in black velvet; and a round, flat toque, trimmed. with a bantam Lcock's head and the delicate tail fea- i thers, which are the prettiest pale athber and dark brown, and the vel ! vet swathed round the crown is of a bright flamingo shade. Wreaths of autumn berries in frost-bitten purple are quite the thing for hats, and au- | tumn foliage is mixed with all shades of brown velvet, with the best effect. | "Bibby's."" Overcoats.
