DONT’S OF DRESS. Don’t try t > trim a tailor-made dress. Don’t wear what everybody wears. It will soon be what nobody wears. Don’t imagine that to be con spicuous is to b« well dressed. Don’t forget that a clean cotton is better than a frowsy silk. Don’t be a “sheep diessed lamb fashion I ” Don’t affect light colors if you are inclined to embonpoint. Don’t forget that one good, well cut drese is worth three flimsy ones that are badly made. Don’t lose sight ot suitability, whether iu relation to age, posi tion, occupation or weather. THE ART OF GIFT GIVING The comet bpsis the juditi ous bestowii g of Christmas and other festival presents, is the thor ough know ledge of necessities of the oue who is to receive such gift. It must be remembered that th posseesii n >f oue uncalled for, or extra arrime, a little above or b>- yo d he belongings of a person, creates iho eairj or need for ihe ever accompany mg some'hing else, 'o r example, u youthful bill sehsf-* *’ 0 lirtlo bride recently declined ilo < ff >r of a very hr ndsou.e gift— a parlor amp— because she was going to board and had notable for the lamp to stand on, and even if she had a table there certainly was uo spare corner in which it could tee placed in her small but dainty teed-room, and besides“you knew,” she continued. “I shou'd alno require a iamp mat, an oi! can, and an everlasting supply of the finest oil.” If the acquisition of an un-need. ed article is so undesirable to a really well-to-do person, how much greater evil will result from the giving of a high-class gift to a wage-earner. Just new, no doubt, every house wife who reads the Queen of Fash ion is puzzling her weary brain over the question, What shall. I give to my good helpers? General ly the mistress knows what her maid has, and it is very easy to find out what she really needs to render her wardrobe more com plete, or what she W’ouldjearnestly like to have, but in buying the sptc'fied article care should be taken that it be in keeping with the other belongings with which it is to be associated. Th“ same rule can be correctly app ied m the pickinp out of p es- various members o' the household, outside relatives and fripi ds.

All American housekeepers do not appreciate the fact that the flesh of the goose is v«ry sweet and tender and readily digested. To be good the fowl should be young— say from four to six months—and should be killed at least twenty four hours before conking. Afrer plucking and dressing, the ned should be cut close to the breas 1 'living the skin long enough to turn over the back. Flatten the breast bone with the rolling pin, and firmly skewer the legs and wings. A young g lose will require an hour and a half to cook B aste it fa*qu“ntly aud served with water cress, with brown gravy aud apple sauce in side dishes. .Make a dressing of four large chopped onions, a tai lespoonful of mimed sage, a pint of dried Lr ad crumbs, two ounces of but ter, one peaten «gg, salt and pep per. Fill the body, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, put in a dripping pan. dredge with flo 1 r nnd add a cupful of water. Baste very fifteen minutes at lea t HO'V S KN TA CLAUSE uAME.

The box on his sled he had fixed for Belle to ride ia, was just the thing for par cel* The store-keeper’s eves twinkled when he read mamma’s note, and he wrote a little note himself t* his wife about it. “I can’t attend to you right away,” he said to Teddy; ‘would you mind running over to my house with this note to Mrs. Briggs, for me?” Teddy was an obliging little boy, and he and Mrs. Briggs had some crullers and cracked nuts together to pay for his tramp through the snow. When he got back to the store, all the bundles were tucked away in the sled box and covered w-ith thick brown pa per so the snow’ couldn't get through. Hard night for Santa Clrnis to get around, said the store-keeper, pinihiug the b»y’a red cheek. Do you s'pose you’ll see him at your house? I hope so, answered Ted, but I’ve never been able ‘o see him. [ saw him once, Baid Mr. Briggs soberly; when he was a little boy about your size. He looked a great deal like you, too. 1 Everybody laughed at that, and fed laughed too, though he didn’t know what it was all about. It was harder home than it had been cons ing to the store, but struggled on bravely, know ing vyr>ry meh of the way. The snow came falling thicker and faster, and that night when his mother tucked him in bed he couldn't help saying, I’m afraid Santa can’t get here andjthen Tru die will be so disappointed. But his mother laughed and kissed him cheerfully. Don’t wor. ry, dear; Santa won’t mind thu little storm.
