Some Seasonable Suggestions Xbout Christmas Presents. wiist • Prsctlnil I'hllOKiiplirr Thinks Will PI,,,, In the Way ef Holiday (llfl s --Wliy tom Didn't do Out to See u Han—The Olrl or To-Day-Old Women’ll Whlnpem. For the Enquirer-Sun. The approach of Christmas brings every husband and every wife face to face with the problem, “What presents shall I give?” Of course, there are certain presents, which, so to speak, seleot themselves. Slippers should always be given to the •1 orgy man, for if there is anything tor which his soul hungein it is for forty pairs of slippers, none of which he can either wear on his own feet or apply to the giv ers. The youngest child of the family must also have a napkin-ring, it being the chief desire of every infant to keep his napkin neat and in order. The selection of all other presents is, however, wcuri- ness to the flesh land exasperation to the spirit, and a few words of advice to givers ought to be productive of much good. Wives should aim not merely to give their husbands acceptable gifts, but to practice a wise economy in buying such gifts. They will thus cam the respect and admiration as well as the gratitude of their husbands. If a husband smokes cigars— as the chances are that ho does—his wife cannot do better than to give him a box of cigars. There are many nice little Bliops where she can buy a box of cigars for two dollars which will look just as nice as those for which her husband foolishly pays fif teen dollars. In fact, the box itself will be even prettier than the boxes which her injudicious husband brings home, lor it will be strongly made and nicely varnish ed. The husband who would not feci grateful for such a present as this would be a cold hearted wretch. There was a man who was presented, last Christmas, with a box of two dollar cigars by his de voted wife, and he was so delighted that he made a solemn vow never to smoke them, but to keep them on his study table to remind him of the priceless treasure of affection and economy that he possessed in his wife. To this day those cigars re main unsmoked with the exception of one, which was stolen and smoked by the dis trict telegraph boy, who died in great ago ny two hours later; not, however, before he had repented of bis sacriligious act and admitted that his punishment was just. Husbands who smoke pipes should be presented with meerschaum pipes. These can be bought for twenty-five cents, and wives ought to know this fact, so that they can properly estimate the foolish extrava gance of men who pay ten dollars for pipes that are in no respect nrettier than the twenty-live cent meerschaums. Am- , ber mouth-pieces and cigar-holders can ! also be bought for -.bout the same price, i and even if they are made of imitation l amber they look just as well ns the ridicu lously expensive articles. It is especially proper to give these pipes and cigar hold ers to husbands whose lives are insured. The reason is a legal one, and would riot be undei'stood by women were it to be ex- S lained to them. They may rest assured, owever, that the larger the amount for which any husband’s life is insured the wiser it will be to give him a twenty tive- oent meerschaum pipe with an umber mouth-piece. For brothers there is no more accepta ble present than arctic overshoes. If any lady has a young and handsome brother who is rather proud of his personal appear ance let her hasten to buy him a pair ot' “arctics.” She should remember that “urotics” cannot be too large, und to avoid the possibility of a mistake, she had better get the largest pair she can find. If she personally appeals to her brother to wear the overshoes for her sake, and begH him to let her know if they pinch his feet, she will do more than she imagines in the way of promoting harmony and strength ening fraternal atfec'.iou. It is the opinion of book publishers that books make the best presents. There is some degree of truth in tlvis, but the books should be selected with great care. Ladies are for the most part unaware ihat a se ries of works of immense interest to thoughtful men has been published by the United States government, with the view of supplying the people with wholesome literature, i'his series is entitled '‘Patent Oflice Reports,” and ouch volume is sold separately. There are few presents that a thoughtful and cultured man would ap preciate more thoroughly than one or two volumes of the patent office series. T here is nothing in these books that could do the slightest harm. They are free from infi delity, Alormonism, horses, or anything that could lead the weakest husband astray. When it is added that they are sold at a very low price, their pre-eminent fitness for Christmas presents needs no further emphasis. Of course the most acceptable present that a man can make to his wife is a new bonnet. Many men, however, are afraid to buy bonnets on account of the cost. In point of fact, a bonnet cun be bought rid iculously cheap at certain shops, and it is mere nonsense to pay fifty dollars to a fashionable bonnet-maker. The astute husband can buy a beautiful bonnet, trim med with blue, red, green and yeliow rib bons, and ornamented with a large and beautiful chicken’s wing, for a dollar and a half. Let him have a ticket marked fli attached to the bonnet and then present it to his wife with a neat little speech. She will be overwhelmed with delight and will never for a moment doubt that the present was bought at a fashionable shop and cost |47. Indeed, her gratitude to her husband will probably greatly astonish him. ALDEN. lie SU,ed. Chicago Herald. It is a very good story which genial 'reasurer Prior, of the Chicago opera louse, tolls about a young man of bis ac quaintance. The young man, it seems, it :ood-looking, of nice lamily, and a good leal of a favorite with the ladies. Hut he a altogether too fond of a little red liquor, leatly trimmed with lemon and nd served in cut gluss—so loud, indeed, hat some of the more careful girls nave f late fought shy of his escort to places oi musement. One day last week he united young lady living on Indiana avenue to o and see ‘‘One of Our Oiris. She wante o see the plav. and, the truth is, rather iked Toni-we will call the young man 'om for short—but she hesitated about ac- epting the invitation. Her fWenaa ad- ised her to decline, and warned her that P she accepted Tom would leave her alone few minutes after every act while he was ut interviewing the nearest barkeeper. “Oh, no, he would do that,” said the oung lady. , . “Yes, but he would,” the advisers re lied; “he took Em Johnson week before ist and went out three times and came in hewing cloves and coffee, and Em was so lortifled that she says—” “Hut he wouldn’t leave me alone in the heater, I know,” the young lady retorted, oufidently, and to prove it I win accept is invitation.” On the way to the theater Tom w as a*l iiua. xjul au iuv cuu ide a brief apolosry to the effect t hat he shed to speak: with a friend whom he Bid the u 0yer ’ and rose to go. take hold d n(M f°' Somothing seemed to Wktom f l V® t tails and pull him “haerin nnd* seat \ Engine poor Tom’s vesHnn ,-?/^ surprise when n second’s in- Son A ^ Wm that his fair com- Forkin’ W°| Sat with such an innocent coattotw „ br .°"[ n . eye8 ' had P^ned his Sood Qtl h ° upholstery of the seat with a n«?rVj, R ’ 8nf e ty „ pln .

If there is anything we know less about than we think we do, it is the girl; and of this the girl is glad, for there is nothingshe hates to be known about her so bad aa the truth. Wo have been acquainted with her for a long time, and watched tier pranks from afar; seen her cut the “pigeon wing” and knock the “back step” m the back yard, when she thought she had no spectator; but still we don’t know her. From the time she is big enough to swing on the gate and tie a ribbon in a double bow-knot, she begins to locate a sweetheart, and she keeps this up until he is located in the back yard, exercising 1ns talents dissecting stove wood. She may be a little dull on mathematics, but invariably solves the problem of pub- ting a No. 6 loot in a No. 3 shoe. She will wear out two old dresses run ning around to find out how to make a new one in the latest style. She will break 'the point off her broth er’s knife making a crack to peep at stranger’s when they come visiting. She will greet you with the most be witching smile, and laugh at your stupid ness when you are gone. She will walk three blocks out of the way to get a peep at lier lioau, and the.n pass by without looking at him. She will talk with you two hours with out being aide to repeat a word you have said, but wii) know how long you have worn your duds and how many buttons have iost their grip. She will attend church, listen with ab sorbed interest to eloquent and pathetic sermons, then return home and expatiate on the horrible fit of Miss Senow’s new basque. She will go to table, mince over delica cies with the most fastidious taste, then slip back in the kitchen anil eat a raw po tato. She will w ear out her best pair of shoes dancing ail day, then attend a ball at night and complain of being out of prac tice. She will spend ail night writing a care fully worded letter, in tile most precise hand, to her Simon Suggs, then scratch off a page to her sister that Old Harry could not read. She will be the most devout creature on earth, and hate the earth that Sallie Grimes walks on. She will be industrious und economical for a month then spend her savings for a red ribbon. She will slouch around the house for a week making preparations to look neat on Sunday. Silo will flirt, with all the best young mer. in the neighborhood, and finally mar ry some knotty-beaded Jim Crow. Old IViiraenV Whispers. If on going out of the house you forget something you must under no circum stances turn back if you can possibly avoid it; if you do you must at any rate sit down a moment before going out again. If the first person you meet is an old wo man it is a sign of coming misfortune, while, on the contrary, a funeral proces sion denotes good fortune. Pigs to your left bring good luck,to your right the opposite; to avert which, grasp something made of steel and the spell will be broke u. If on setting out on a journey you meet a sow and pigs your enterprise will be sure to be successful. To meet two magpies portends mar riage; three, a successful journey; four, un expected good news. To see one magpie and then more is unlucky; to kill ooe of these birds is irre trievable misfortune. lr. is also unlucky to kill a swallow. If your left hand itches you will take in money; if the right, you will pay it out. A ringing in the right ear means that some one is speaking well of you; in the lefc, you may be sure that evil toag les are busy with you. If your right eye itches you will see some beautilul sight; if the left, you will have cause to shod tears. If your nose itches .you will bear sonic news or—will fail into the mire.
