Snowballs of cotton, tightly wound
with white ribbon, also conceal gifts
most attractively, while the cheap but
pretty little Santa Claiis candy boxes,
for sale at favor shops, are effective
upon the Christmas table, and will
hold quite a good-sized package, or, of
course, may be used to hold the bon-
bons for which they are intended. For
a luncheon or high tea during Christ-
mas week, a beautiful table may be
set by employing the tree of green
linen runners embroidered in white.
A holly bell or a bunch of red carna-
tions in a cut-glaps vase will touch
the center of the table to brilliancy
and soft garlands of southern moss
may lightly edge the linen runners,
or doilies if they be used instead.
The colonial glass candlesticks are
still in favor, and nothing is more at-
tractive in a country house. With tall
green or red tapers, a group of these
candlesticks placed-in a mass of holly
as a centerpiece is both appropriate
and beautiful.'

His Wonderful Influence Continues
and Widens Through the
World.
All the old troublous' questions of
| the origin and destination of the Gali
lee Carpenter have passed, notes a
writer In Collier's. Att~tbe mediaeval
worriment in discriminating between
human and divine has gone, all the
puzzled inquiry into the miraculous.
No longer is mankind stirred over the
non-essential. Theories of him fade
awaly, dogmas of his nature lose their
charm. His gentleness has conquered.
His influence continues and widens.
Slowly brightening, the gleam that
touehed him spreads through the
world. His spirit moves on the face
of civilization,, and makes it kindlier
every generation. The touch of his
hand is on the grief-stricken. Nurse,
pfrysicfiin, and nun axe the" messen-
gers of his teaching. The vestal flres
burned out, but never the flres of hiB
spirit, which answer each other from
mountain-top to mountain-top across
Antt-wcp in tiitf'ilcan
of the people they make family life
Sweeter and easei the bitterness of
failure and ignoranfee and all life's in-
completeness. 'That wonder-working
personality was never so potent as to-
day—so insistent and tenderly sure.
Under a thousand forms, creeds and
names, men serve him. And however
far we go In the conquest of nature,
identifying the north pole,, climbing
the sky, prying open electrical forces,
mapping out the subliminal, diminish-
ing Bin, disease, war, poverty, igno-
rance—always In the advance will be
that gracious figure of the Sinless One,
who showed *Love as the rule of life.
One Perfect Man—ardent and gentle—
the race will never tire of him.

Origin of Gift-Giving.
It i* believed by many that our cus-
tom of giving «lft at Christmas
comes-from an old custom of priests
nutting on board of all outgoing ship8
a box of alma. This bo* was opened
at Christmas-time, and masse's said
for the giving of alms, and it was
called a "Christ Mass" box.* From
this has eome bur custom of giving
boxes and gifts.

The Man In the Moon.
Russian folk-lore tells that the man
in the moon was one who was seeking
th? tn thftw la no death-
At last, after traveling far, he found
the longed-for haven and took up his
abode la the moon. After a hundred
years had passed, death called for him
one Christmas eve and a fierce strug-
lo encaed with the whQ WJls
victorious; and so the, man stayed
whers be was. -
