Then over the hills and far away,

Comes the music of Christmas bells,

Our hearts are attune with melody,

As their heavenly message swells.

And we vision Bethlehems silent hills, Where wondering shepherds stand", We listen with them to the joyous song Of a. radiant angel band.

"Glory tokGcd in the highest,"

they chant, "Peace-peace to the troubled ‘ earth!” WVhile the air grew still in the azure light, And hushed for the Saviors birth.

Msfortunes teach us what for- tune is.

Boys love to play, and girls love to display.

It takes a. long while t0 some stories short.

A gossip rarely tells a story that isift at least partly true.

It is often the blunt speaker who drives home the best points.

The man who does not govern his passions soon find his pas- sions govern him.

N man would want his wife to act as do the other women at whom he makes eyes.

Most men seem to have the im- ‘pession that Heaven and golf links are for men only.

Some married couples start their marital voyage on a love boat and end on a battle ship.

While some fellows couldn't get into the war because of flat-feet, some others got co'd feet when they were caught in the draft.

MOTHER. OF FAMILY A VERSATILE PERSON INDEED

The mother of a family has to be a far more versatile person than she would need to be in most other walks of life. She has to be ready for all emergencies and undertake a dozen different roles in a. day.

‘There are baby's need, starting at six a. m., and a husband to be breakfasted and seen off to busi- ness, with probably a younster to be taken to school, before she even settles down to her “day's work!’

She must know about housekeep- ing and cooking and home manage- ment and have a sympathetic hear- ing for father's interests and the children't and give awatchful eye to the health of both at the some

time. It's a great many Jobs all rolled . into one.

A SAPPHIRE BOOM

The Duchess oi Gloucesters pre- ference for a sapphire engagement ring has created a jewel boom in Ceylon.

Half the worid's output of these precious stones is mined in the is- land, where the centre of the in- dustry is Raina Pura, which means the City of Gens. The choicest cut sapphire ever produced came from there-a stone of 440 carats, flaw- less, and of u deep peacock blue. This stone has found its way to America at a price which, although never revealed, ran into four figures.

The catseye. a stone of beautiful honey colour reflecting deep beams oi umber light, which though lit- tle appreciated in the West is greatly prized in the East, is also found in Ceylon. The largest known was once in the collection of the last King of Ceylon, and Pieris, the Ceylon Trade Commis- sioner in London, is searching for it. Brought to England about 1815, its history has been traced iip to 192B, when it was purchased by an American and has probably crossed the Atlantic.

But precious stones are more than precious stones in Ceylon —nine primary gems, arranged in mysteri- ous sequence, are supposed, when correctly interpreted, to have an astrological significance that is ivver wrong.

Ceylon may, however, soon afford this country a. glimpse of her precl- ous products. as it has been sug- gested the island should stage an exhibition of. her Jewels here.

NERVOUS GIRLS LOSE YOUTHFUL BEAUTY

Extremely nervous girls gener- ally lose a great deal of their youth- ful beauty by the time they are thirty. We mean, of course. the fid- gety kind of women who never can sit still a. moment and who frown, twist their mouths and seldom relax ,

Naturally, there are cases where seq-control does no good. ‘These are problems much too serious to come under the heading of "beauty" and should be taken up with physicians. It is of girls who have developed nervous habits that can be correct- ed easily that we speak today.

First of all, learn ‘ how to relax completely, not only when you are lying in bed, but when you are read- ing, sewing or talking to someone Don't fret over small things that no human being can help. Try to adopt a calm, reasonable outlook on life.

Some may argue that calm people have no verve, no vuuu lasm. How- ever, there's a great difference be- tween vlvaclty and nervous energy that wears you out. And there is no reason why meaningless ges- tures and a state of excitement makes everyone feel you need n. good night's sleep should be con- fused with normal enthusiasm that is admirable. To be sure, every girl should be healthy enough to have a natural vigor that makes her in- teresting. But this doesn't mean she should flutter and fidget until sho puts lines across her own brow and h addition, makes everyone around her nervous.

EAISY. THWE SAVING WAYS TO

MAKE NEW‘ DELECTABLE DAINTIES FOR CHRISTMAS

I don't care if you have the world's best cook. I don't care if you hate being domestic. You won't hate this, and you can shoo the cook out for a few minutes. On tho other hand, if you're like most of us. you own cook and housekeeper, and feel that all in all you're a most overworked woman, you'll pro- bably find some ideas here that may be useful and time-saving. So come on in the kitchen, and we'll stir up some fun.

"Yes, sir. more than half of them." replied the mm in tho box.

“Arc you willing to swear that you know more than half oi them?" asked counsel. '

"If it comes to that, I'm willing to swear that I know more than all of 1cm put together." came defiantly from the witness. '

JUST ON CREDIT

Mose became heir to a few hun- dred dollars and immediately went downtown to pay a grocery account of long standing, after which he strolled down the street about two blocks into the Jones’ grocery store and purchased a large supply of groceries, for, which he paid cash.

The groceryman with whom he had the large account saw him, and a few days later, stopped him and inquired: "Mose, why did you buy a large bill of groceries from Mr. Jones after I have carried your ac- count so long?"

Mose looked surprised and re- plied: “Lawdy, Mr. Smith, I didn't know you sold groceries for cash."

Sugar sat at Jane's feet on o. little stool by the lily pond while they talked it over.
