Santa Claus Is All Right. 'iNew Haven Palladium.) “is Satan of Santa Claus the father of lies?" asks the Bridgeport Union. Maybe so. But whoever may be the father, he is not so bad as his wicked son who tries to make little children believe the wretched falsehood that there Is no Santa Claus, when every child who knows anything at all. knows the jolly old Saint is on deck at this blessed minute—and a busy time he has of it, too, skipping from chimney to chimney and finding out where the good children live. He was never known to show himself to naughty, bad boys. The editor of the Union. in the days of his childhood. may never have seen old Santa Claus. but he can't make those of us who have seen Irrrn. believe he doesn’t exist. Revival of Vaccination. . ,,(New London Day.) The present attack of small pox Is probably the. worst New York has ex- perienced In the past twenty years. To effectually meet II. there has gone forth from the board of health an order for wholesale vaccination. it Is estimated that up to this time one million per. sons have. been vaccinated In the bor- ougm of Manhattan alone. It Is easy to see from this that vaccination has suffered a decline in the few years past. There was a time when hardly lite reasonably certain to him unless he had a vaccine scar somewhere on his per'pcn. WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING. Sleeves. skirts and costs all flare at their lower edges. There'is a line white finnned which looks something like crepe and is used for shirtwaists. Cravenette is hardly heavy enough for winter wear. but It makes a spicu- did rniny-dny skirt suitable for all the rest of the year. There is quite a fancy for curved leather this season, and fancy articles made of it are figuring largely among Christmas gifts. The prospect is that. the single inver- ted plait for the back of the dress skirt will be preferred to the double plait on all spring gowns. Shaped liorrnces how deep and nar- row nre very fashionable. Skirts. too. if they have not the flouncc. liar-o so 11:: to obtain the same effect.

Of course she varies the amount according to the number shi‘ Is serving. but this is about the propor- tion. To three slices of toast she uses a cup of white sauce and two hard- boIIed eggs. (I gave you the receipt for the sauce yesterday.) The whites of the eggs are chopped rather fine, mrxeri with the sauce. the whole is seasoned and poured over the toast. Then she takes 11 ricer or a coarse sieve. rubs the. yolks through this over the toast. It must be served hot. and makes :1 prettier dish of garnished. FROM NORWALK To BETHEL.
