CAueax ON A COLD WAYS. The cold wave has at last struck us, and erest Is the howl of the wind on account of it. "And the wind blew through his whiskers." So signs of destruction have been noticed as yet, particularly those signs that fall on people's heads on occasions like this. A runawav horse is a common occurrence but a'runaway baby carriage Is something new. But while the nurse wss taking the baby into the store the December breeze came stealing along and taking the shaggy hair on the robe in the basgy for whiskers deliberately blew throueh it, hence the locomotion.

Such a gown Is for a working but the stylish house gown of the Ulas tration Is an exceedingly dressy onewitn aiuch-attendon paid to what is truly or- siainental. The material emyloyed Is pink -swollen stuff, with a front of white surah trimmed with bands of moss green passementerie to match the gamitureof the sown. The dress Is cut princess. The Man takes care of his hat, woman takes care of her -whole person while the bicycler spreading the tall of his coat for a sail, spins joyfully along, "and the blows through his whiskers." a charming feast of Intellect and flow 01 soul and the good churches remembered their poor with all the good things of the season. The Episcopalians opened the ball with a reception, which la only one of others follow and was le Hghtfnl that the people stayed until tho doxology.

Then there were wedding suppers and family dinners that were prolonged far Into the night. And take it altogether it was the loveliest Thank- giving held for sometime. The festivities are to be kept up this month, because Lent come BO early In February. I have a list of festivities for after Christmas, but. dare not publish them yet.

Next week you can hear the Lotus Glee Club. Mince pies are getting ripe and fruit cake is seasoning for the Yule tide. Pudding and sausage are scarcer than usual, but not resultant from the new tariff bill, it Is all owing to the scarcity of pork. Oh, the beauties of the Christmas openings? There's John Elsenhauer, been across the seas to get fine wares, and the picture Is one of great loveliness. The Best goods, right across the street from John, are just as cheap as before the new tariff bill passed.
