Although it is not so brilliant as some of the Spanish shawls, I think the silver lace on the black velvet, with the applique motif and the black tassel, is very effective. mmm returned from Camden, N.Y., where she was visiting her son, Dr. Alli- son, for two weeks.

The Editor hears That the organizations of St. James' church are giving the time of thele usual weekly meetings to the making of wreathing of efergreens to adorn the sanctuary for the Christ- mas festival. -- That the old saying, "Christmas comes but once a year, but when it comes it brings good cheer," can only be made a reality if we find those for whom it will not be cheer- ful without our help and then give it to them freely and with the spirit that will make it a gift from a friend not a dole from charity. So will our own Christmas be a happy one. That some of the clubs, including the Local of Women, of London, Ont,, are strongly opposed to the beauty contests that are being held in some parts of Canada. That the students of Queen's leave for home next week and are counting the days until the holidays. -- That a large contingent of Mont- real girls will come to Kingston for the Christmas da#ice at the Royal Military College. } -- That the newest party frocks are of georgette, chiffon or some other sheer material heavily embroidered. These are in bright colors and give 2 ball room a wonderful brightness. Girls who will have cadets in searlet tunfes for partners should not choose shades that will lose their tens than mother can knit or buy. Skates for the boy or girl who has not a pair already, will make them your friend for life. A snow shovel (if we have any snow) will delight the little chap in red leggings and sweater which some thoughtful friend or relative will give him. For your friend who want§~her rooms to be pretty and homelike, there are lamp shades of silk or crepe. A charming one can be made from a #lass gold fish bowl covered with silk and small flowers of the same material. The bowl is inverted and ribbon or cord the same shade will fasten it to the ceiling. This makes a pretty centre light for a bedroom. The shops are full of dainty gifts for those who have not time to make pretty trifles. Ribbon cord and tis- sue paper are every where, and the pretty Christmas tags it seems such a pity to throw away when they have carried - their good wishers to you are more artistic than ever this year. -- GRACEFUL FAVORED LACES ARE BY FASHION pi, ES RO rt ASE ve Te ens oR el tL fo A " wp o~ ESN pd .

One of the most amusing, and at the same time most wonderful, dis- plays seen in a Kingston window may be found on display at the store of the C. W, Lindsay Com- pany on Princess street, It is a mindature plano, which has been christened "The Grand Baby," by the Lindsay staff. This Hitle in- strument is a practical plano in every way. It has a five-ootave key- board, is done in art finished wal- nut and is a finished product in every way. 'All the parts in it are exactly the same as are to be found in the larger Weher Planos and its tone is exceptionally good. "The Grand Baby" was made es- pecially by the Weber Piano Com- pany of this city to the order of a Winnipeg family.' It will be one of ¢he Santa Claus donations to the playroom and nursery of the Winni- peg home and it is one of the most original and useful gifts possible. The little instrument stands only three feet high and is attracting a greal deal of gttention. ------ MODEL SCHOOL PRESENTATION. Made by the Students to Principal J. M.

Have you ever seen one of those show windows that makes you stop involuntarily and look it over more closely? Many Kingston people say that the window of the J. A. McNabb Company has done just that with them.

The arrangement not only attracts attention but provides a good setting in contrast for the beautiful evening gowns being shown. 0 3 Historic Myrtle Bushes. In these days when sentiment seems dead and the latest fashion is the only thing that counts at most weddings, it is refreshing to read of the love the royal family have for the myrtle that has brought good luck to its members. - The myrtle sprigs in Princess Maud's wedding bouquet have an interesting history. They were clipped from a tree grown from cuttings from the Princess Royal's wedding bouquet. These in their turn came from a myrtle bush in the grounds of Osborne planted by Queen Vietoria fn 1845. It had some centl. mental history, and each bride of the royal family, beginning with the Princess Royal, carried a bouquet with sprigs from that bush until 1901. A bunch was brought to Windsor castle from Osborne on March 9th, 1863, for the bouquet which Queen Alexandra carried at her wedding, Even when the late Duke of Edinburgh married the Grand Duchess Marie in 1874 sprigs from the Osborne bush were sent by Queen Victoria to St. Petersburg for the wedding bouquet. They were conveyed by Lady Augusta Btanley, She went to Russia with the dean, who officiated at the English mar- riage service in the Hall Alexander. Where Will You Spend Christmas?
