Mrs Gifford has been buying for this great family of 6000 op 8000 for so many jears that it is nearly second nature now; just as a matron of mature years can make her purse stretch so much farther than the new bride. In the first place, we have followed out the plan of giving out the nlaterials for the dinners in the baskets rather than prepare a meal and have the people come here and eat it. because our plan allows the family to take the foodstuffs home, prepare it in the home, and eat it amid all the surroundings that make a Christmas dinner a real affair, that is in the home, be it ever so humble.

Of course, one must go from place to place, just as if dinner things for ones own family were to be supplied, and I go about this the wav that I should do it for mv family with the thought of getting the best possible things for the least outlay of money. That is the principle w'hich covers all good buying. Buying for so big a family may be a trifle wearying, especially when the rush of Christmas shoppers is so great, but the weariness of body is forgotten entirely when one sees the happy faces of those who receive the baskets as Mayor Peters and Col Gifford hand them out the day before Christmas. At the Caleb Chase Auditorium, Peoples Palace, the baskets are distributed beginning about 3 o'clock on Wednesday. "Then it is, sighed Mrs Gifford happily, that one doesnt mind the trouble that is Involved in marketing for this family of those we have with us, always.

Marketing for the family Christmas dinner finished? Rather a strenuous job, wasnt it, with prices soaring as high as the proverbial goose of bygone days? Well, then, how would you like to market the Christmas meal for a family of say about 6000? That Isnt any more difficult than buying Christmas dinner for a family of six! coolly observes Boston greatest Christmas dinner marketer. She is JVIrs Adam Gifford, wife of Col Gifford, commanding the Salvation Army forces in New England, and it has been her delightful task during the last 10 or a dozen years to buy the many good things that make up the bountiful dinner baskets which the Army fills and distrioutes in Boston each Christmas to those who otherwise would perhaps go dinnerless on Christianitys great birthday.

The apartment houses were of brick, three or four stories high, and like their modern prototype, usually constructed with an inner court on which some of the less desirable rooms looked out. The ground iloor was frequently rented to shops and small stores barber shops, i bookstores and the like and quite often 1 the proprietor of such a store had his lodgings upstairs. The Tetter class of apartment houses I were doubtless very comfortable.

Some them effered attractive bachelor quarters, and more than one young Roman had hi3 own Hat or aedicula (little Many of the buildings, however, were tenement houses of the lowest kind where whole families were crowded into a single ill-ventilated, room. Heal estate wag a very profitable investment. The city was overcrowded, and although the population was spreading out in every direction beyond the city limits, living accommodations were hard to find. The capitalists who owned the apartment houses profited by these conditions. They demanded high rents, but showed little consideration for their tenants and were reluctant to make any repairs in the propeity.

As a result many of tho cheaper tenement houses which had been hastily erected by speculators, were a public menace. One far-sighted business man, Cras-sus by name, built up a large fortune by taking advantage of fires. As soon as the alarm sounded, he hurried to the scene and bought up not only the burning house but also the neighboring stiuctures, the owners of which, fearing the spread of the liames. were willing to sell at a very low figure. Then as soon as the blaze was extinguished, Crassus had the buildings repaired at once by his own architects and builders, of whom he had 500 at his command, and rented out the property again at a good profit.

After the fire in the reign of Nero, which destroyed most of the poorer quarter, the city was rebuilt with a view to preventing a recurrence of the disaster. New building, regulations made the structures more nearly fireproof and the streets were considerably widened. Kven the added security, however, did not entirely satisfy the inhabitants, some of whom complained that the broader streets were not so shady. The private dwellings naturally varied according to the means of the owner. A town house of the better class sometimes rented for as much as 6000 sesterces a year ($300) although such a fig-ire was considered rather extravagant.

The prosperous Roman staved in the city only during the season. At the approach of hot weather he migrated to the mountains or. if he preferred the water, to some one of the Summer resorts along the Campanian coast There were no large hotels. Each family had its ilia, furnished as comfortably as the town house although usually less formally. The city water supply was excellent.

Laige aqueducts constructed bv the State brought water from the distant lulls to the public reservoirs, and the dailv supply in the first century was 700,600 cubic meters, almost twice that of modern Rome. It was against the law to tap the public tanks, but sometimes the individual house owner violated the city ordinances and drew off the water by private pipes to his dwelling. Every well equipped house had a bathroom with hot and cold water. The wealthier houses had in addition a dressing room and a caldarium or hot air chamber, whtch has been compared to the modern Turkish bath, and in some mansions there -was a swimming pool as well. The sturdy Roman of the old school, however, was apt to look with disdain upon such innovations as symbols of an effete and degenerate age.

Hot and cold water and daily baths indeed! Georgia M. Leffingwell, in Hartford Times. SILK BLOUSE FROM PARIS NEW PARIS MODEL MUST RETURN TO NIGHTCAPS TO PREVENT INFLUENZA AND COLDS, PARIS DOCTOR SAYS is absolutely motionless, relaxed, with the body warm under the bedclothes and the head exposed to the cold current of air that comes in from the window and is sucked up the chimney or around corners. To cure your cold, tie a vaoolen wr around the head, well down on nj forehead and over the cranium in back. Leave it there all night.

Drink a hot rum or hot wine or, in America, hot lemonade and perspire all night. It the morning the cold tn the head be rone. But be careful, or the verv next night, you will catch another cold, because you have not got your head muffled up. When one starts to wear a night cap. It Is dangerous to leave off wearing it.

especially during the Winter or rainy season. "As a preventive against he Spanish flu. there is not a letter precaution than wearing a woolen night cap. Yes. and even the silk and lace boudoir caps that miladi wears nowadav is tetter thin nothing.

Chicago Three women are responsible for the latest discovery at the Harvard Observatory of a star and, according to Prof I. Bailey, chief of the observatory. it is a new star with very striking fldtetuations. It is different, he says, in some ways from any other star yet discovered. The women concerned in this discovery are Miss Annie J.

Cannon, curator of astronomical photographs, who worked the camera, with the assistance of Miss Mary Applegate, a former Vassar graduate, that took the portion of the heavens in which the new star was found. Then, in accordance with a method followed bv the Harvard Observatory for the past 30 years. Miss Joan C. Mackie imposed a plate taken last vear of the same spot in the sky on the new plate and began a minute studv of the two to find out if on the new 'plate there was not some star that did not show last year. After hours of close examination.

Miss Alackie found the new star, which is called Nova Ophiuchi, after the constellation in which it was discovered. The new stars, so-called, are not regarded at the observatory as really new but are stars that have a sudden outburst of light, governed by laws unknown, at present "Without doubt, says Miss Cannon, nianv new stars come and go unseen because they do not become conspicuous objects. The Harvard instruments photograph the sky every night. With a small photographic telescope, having a lens one inch in diameter, a complete map of the sky is made. It is not made once for all, but over and over again, the same region being taken two or three times a month whenever visible.

There is an advantage in having this map of the sky on a glass plate, for it is transparent and a plate of any given region can be superimposed on any one of the same region taken some days or months or years ago, and any change can thus be observed. In order to study these changes more completely a systematic search has been instituted for these objects. Hitherto they have always appeared in or very near the Milky Way. This eliminates a large portion of the sky and makes the work less laborious. The work has been divided between two observers.

Miss Mackie and Miss Ida E. Woods, the former taking the northern half of the region and the latter taking the southern. Every morning a recent plate is superimposed on an older one of the same region, so that the images of the same star stand side by side. The double plate is then examined with the aid of a two-inch magnifying glass. Any image that appears on one plate and not on the other is carefully examined.

Three new stars have been discovered in this way. The first one, discovered by Miss Mackie! appeared in 1913 and was never seen again. "Two new stars have been found this jear. One was found by Miss Woods in the constellation Sagittarius: this became bright in April. 1919.

The latest one. found by Mis Mackie, is in Ophiu-chus- It made its first appearance on the photograph taken Aug 20, 1919, becoming brightest on Sept 13. "Eighteen new stars have been discovered at this observatory by women observers of the photographs since 1887. Now stars take the name of Nova, followed by the Lattin genitive of the constellation tn which they occur. Miss Mackie has been at the observatory for about a year, working on the photographs, which is extremely difficult work, for an hour a day.

She found nothing new until August of this year, followed by another discovery, the latest hud, in October. PARIS We will have to go back to wearing nightcaps, according to Dr Louis St Maurice. Men and women alike, every one will eventually have to wear a woolen covering over his cranium to protect the head from colds and influenza, asserts this savant, who has studied the problem for several years. "Years ago. when nightcaps were universally worn, no one ever had colds, neither in the head nor jn the chest.

Grippe was unknown. Influenza had neier been heard of," said Dr St Maurice. "A study of literature written pnor to the lbth century does not reveal a single mention of any of these diseases and maladies which rage through the Autumn. Winter, and Spring seasons throughout the world nowadays. "Three years ago the first epidemic of Spanish influenza swept over Europe.

Later it was disseminated to every part of the world, reaping myriads of victims in India and China. Two years ago and again last year, ahe Spanish flu raged over Europe and now it is beginning to become virulent again. "Investigation proves that a cold In the head is the necessary setting for an attack of influenza. Further investigation shows that in an overwhelming majority of cases, a cold is caught during the night, while one is in bed. Wet feet are not responsiole for many colds, especially among adults.

In fact, while one is moving about, and exercising no matter how slightly, he is not likely to catch cold. He la when he This blouse is of creDon de sole.
