SNUFF AND TEARS.
Where is the heroic man who uses
snuff to-day? asks a writer in the
New York Times.
Where Is the heroine who sheds
tears, as did her sisters of old, "in tor
rents?”
There seems to be an atrophy of
the lachrymal gland. In the brave
days whm snuff was In polite and
general use. Action was universally
tearful. The very prologue of Lamar
tine's ‘‘Raphael” is unpleasantly
moist; the pages of Fielding and Smol
lett are damp: one might swim
through the ‘ floods of tears,” which
are shed in the ‘‘Sorrows of Werther;
and it has been computed by a trust
worthy engineer that the weeping pow
er of the characters in ‘ Manon,” Paul
and Virginia,” “Natalie,” Picciola,
and "Attlla,” alone, would be amply
sufficient to Irrigate many square miles
of Arizona desert.
There are tears, but no Idle ones, on
the modem novel. How admirable the
restraint of lover and mistress. Can
there be some subtle relation between
the decadence of the snuff habit on
the part of the male parent and the
growth of his daughter's self-control*
One is aghast at the volume of tears
shed in the earlier ''masterpieces” of
romantic literature. They gush, as we
have said, from the very prologue of
“Raphael.” “We first wept and then
talked together.” No time is lost, it
will be noted. At the mere sight or
thought of each other they begin to
bawl. Again: “Such was our fare
well' an ocean of tears, an eternity
of tears.” Whether at meeting or
parting, In joy or grief, It makes
them actually “swimming In tears.
In Goethe's most lachrymose story
the crying Is almost Incessant. We
have constantly recurring passages like
these: "Thousands of kisses, a flood
nf tears” • * * "A torrent of tears
stopped their recital.” * • * "He
threw down the book, seized her hand,
and wept bitterly.” Later on we find
these saturated lovers engaged In the
extraordinary aquatic feat of actually
"swimming In tears.”
A FOOLISH IDEA.
Many people make the mistake of
thinking It necessary to give a child
only expensive or elaborate glftr.. but
children are as quick as their alders
to appreciate the suitability rather
than the price of a present, and more
than one example proves lh!. Last

hem-stitching and the tiniest of Initial
letters outlined In eyelet embroidery.
For daintier wear these same squares
are delicately embroidered in each cor

surrounding an initial. Sometimes the
initial oocupies the center of a butter
fly or a shamrock. This style is done

Knowledge of Location of Depart
ment! Not Alwaya Neceaaajry—Some
Women Walk Mllea When They
Could Diacharge Dntle* of Pur
chaalng With Hall the Walking.
“There are perhaps two classes of
women, and at most, three, who are
not laid up as nervous wrecks after
their Christmas shopping,” said a
guide in one of the big stores yester
day.
"There are the regulars, who do an
enormous amount of buying in the
most systematic manner, during the
last week before Christmas, the busi
ness woman who is obliged to do all
in a few hours, and the woman with
a baby at home, who, for the same
reason, is at all times a good shop
per.
“These women escape the general
nervous prostration* because they do
‘desk work.’ They make their heads
save their heels. They have a com
plete list arranged, with the Intention
of saving time and steps, and with the
money to be spent on each item cal
culated on the outside margin and
jotted down.
“It is astonishing, however, how
greatly these are in the minority. The
greater number come with either no
list at all or a list made up haphazard,
and just as the things came Into the
head of the writer. Then there Is the
kind commonest of all. who makes no
list whatever, and there is still an
other lot who have but one idea at a
time.
Wnatea Time and Effort.
“The woman of this kind will start
one day to getisk present for Bella, for
Instance, and will go over the. whole
territory and look at everything in
one shop, perhaps in two or three, be
fore she makes up her mind what she
wants. The next day she repeats the
process for John, and so on, leaving
the hardest for the last day, when she
is worn to a frazzle, and is in despair
at finding everything gone which she
had seen on her former rounds.
“While going she could easily have
bought a dozen of her other presents,
but without a list she forgets all about
them, or has to wait to see how much
she pays for what she gets to-day be
fore she knows how much she can put
into them. This kind of woman de
pends on what she happens to see, and
what strikes her fancy for her se
lections, and seldom has in mind any
particular thing that she wants to give
any one person.
How They Chase Around.
“The woman with the ‘hit or miss’
list also takes a lot of needless steps.
She has down: Mary, handkerchief;
Louise, gloves; Beatrice, handbag;
Frederick, handkerchiefs and so forth.
Well, she goes to the handkerchief first
and puts her whole into getting a fine
and beautiful lace handkerchief.
“When she gets through with this
she sees gloves on her list, and goes
off to the glove counter, and after that,
a mile away to tha leather department.

Everything New,
When she gets through here she comes
back to the handkerchief department
to get men’s handkerchiefs. Just as
she finishes this, she thinks of some
little folks that she wanted to get
handkerchiefs for. too. but It is lunch
time, and she is hungry and she de
cides to leave that for another day.
Should Follow System.
“I have seen women walk miles use
lessly, going back and forth the length
of an entire store on account of the
way they had arranged their shopping
list. Yesterday there was one who
came to buy presents for a class of
boys. Although there were many
things on her list that could be bought
In the same department, she hud them
all separated and trotted back and
forth for hours before she got through.
"No. it is no exaggeration—the av
erage woman, instead of putting down
a half dozen pahs of gloves for as
many people, will make a half dozen
trips to the glove counter and perhaps
come down six different days to do it.
How It All Helps Out.
"Of course it goes without saying
that the woman who can sav(> the most
steps by carefully planning her shop
ping list is the one who knows pretty
well the location of things. She ar
ranges her headings on her list so that
when she Is through In one department
she has for item number two that
which, of all she wants, lies nearest to
the section she is already In.
“When stores cover acres, almost, this
Is a great help, especially since every
trip to different departments almost
means a straggle for life. But If a
woman is not out shopping often
enough to be posted on locations, she
can at least easily ask for each de
partment.
"But whatever mechanical and sys
tematic aids she can call upon, the
woman who is going to get along best
with her Christinas shopping Is the one
who can get so enthused with the
Christmas spirit that she will not mind
being elbowed, and poked about, and
walked uoon until she is black and
blue.”
GIFTS TO POOR BY
SUNDAY-SCHOOL CHILDREN
Was Feature of Exerelaea ut Grace
Motliodlst rhurch.
The Christmas celebration of the
Sunduy-srhool of Grace Methodist
Church was held last night In the
school roam under the church, at
Jefferson and Park avenue.
The object of the celebration was to
enable the children of the school to
make gifts to the poor. An excellent
programme had been arranged, and the
room was elaborately decorated. The
platform where the officers of the
church and school were stationed, was
decorated with a small forest of dainti
ly draped Chrlstmus trees, from which
hung a myriad of varied colored glass
ornaments.
Just before the exercises ppened,
Santa Claus came upon the stage and
greeted the officers. The infant class
then formed Into line and marched
around the room, singing, “Yes, Jesus
Loves Me,” and at the conclusion of
the song gathered at the foot of the
platform and presented their glftß to
Santa Claus, who received them with
many thanks in behalf of the poor.
He then made an address to the chil
dren. The older classes made their
offerings at intervals during the exer
cises.

Congressman Mark H. Dunnell. in a letter from the National Hotel,
