Rotracing our way back put every signpost and turn of the way. so that in spite of the dark years of war. and the trou- bles and tragedies, the sorrows and regrets of this old world, in spite of lean years -- or better. we can remember with a deep sense of gratitude that altogether our Christmasses have been good. And choosing from these "whatsoever things are lovely" we should beg these as our gifts this season. we should like the family to gather in on the eve of the Day. after every last item had been attended to. last animals fed and bedded in the old beamed stable... and the silence which prevails on that night. and whichr is so expectant to young and older has descended. And James in -his slippers had come to his old armchair. with the small ones wandering, inquir- lng, so much taken up with mom- ent of it. and perhaps not able to grasp its signiflcence. And James. as he has done before would sug- gest: "Perhaps you would get the Book, Ellen. and read to them!" . . And there in the quiet. as eyes shone with a mixture of nwe and delight. we would read again, never wearying of repeating the words. so beautifully assembled, so touch- ingiy descriptive, though we have long known them by heart: ”And it come to pass in those days . . .

And James would cuddle the children closely. and relate that once upon a time on Christmas Eve, his mother used t.o read the same story to him. and somehow. he had always loved to hear it. and knew it very well. . . .

Is it proper to send gifts to the mother of a new-born baby A. Close friends will sometimes send flowers or candy to the new mother, but usually any gifts sent are for the baby. It is not ab- solutely necessary to semi gifts. but it is considered nice. Q. Is it considered good usage for men to speak of wearing a "white tie"' or a "black tie." in- stead of referring to "full evening dress" or a "dinner coat"? A. Yes; these terms are often used in good society. Is it all right for an over- night guest to ask the hostess for an extra blanket? ? A. Yes. this should be done. and without hesitation. if insufficient covering has been provided. ”V.w'R'R3:7YRi'K'KX7sR'5D?'R Vi 215' How Can I ! ! ! r3amo'- By Anna Ashley x.)o:q2-4.,x - as - .-szex-:4-.8-:4-D How can I remove lacquer from brass beds when it has been partly worn off and has permitted the metal to become tarnished?
