how many little useful articles the Arverage everyday woman does without in her work. Sometimes it‘s because she does not know that suchâ€"conveniâ€" ences exist; often it‘s because, although she always means to get them, thers are so many other ways for the money to go. Sometimes it‘s because she‘s never about the shops where they are For adults, at that. Let everyone of us give a Christmas stocking this year to some friend, at least to some houseâ€" keeping friend. First, make the stockâ€" ing. And it‘s to ibe a veritable giant‘s estocking. The size will depend on what‘s to go into it, the bigger the more fun. It may be a yard long and a foot wide. If possible make it out of some gay red material, perhaps an old curâ€" tain, tablecloth or skirt, or dye a piece of white cloth or unbleached cotton; o if you care to get new, red muslin "(0f the kind of which "Christmas stockâ€"I §ings" are usually made) so much the, better. If the red material is not conâ€" veniently procured white will answer, but work a "Merry Christmas" on it‘ in outline stitch with red floss or thread and perhaps a spray of holly may bs added. Or, a Santa Claus or Christâ€" mas tree pasted on. Every One a Useful Gift What‘s to go in them? Something in the nature of a "Christmas shower." Not "junk," just for the sake of filling them.

The men first applied for reâ€" lease through habeas corpus proceedâ€" ings claiming their arrest and detenâ€" tion were illegal. It is this question the Privy Council will have to settle. The appeal to the Minister was on the general merits of the case and based on the contention they were not guflty of revolutionary activities. Representations will likely be made to Mr. Gordon to delay sending the ‘nen cout of the country until the Privy Council reaches its decision. Duncan MacTavish of Ottawa appeared for the men before Justice Crockett. ‘The men involved are Dan Holmes or Chomicki, Stefan Worozcyt, Hans Kist, Conrao Cessinger, Martin Parker or Phcjansalo, Arvo Vaaro, John Farâ€" kas, Gottfried Zurcher, Iwan Symba.j and John Stahlberg. They were arrested in different Canâ€" adian cities on information laid beâ€" fore the Minister of Immigration charging them with revolutionary azâ€" tivities and taken to Halifax. ‘There the cases were considered by boards of inquiry last May and deportation etc., a fashlight (for a particular boy perhaps); oh! the myriad of articles, any one of which â€"will bring a gleam of pleasure to the eyes of a boy; while a whole "combine‘" will set his eyes aâ€" twinkling like a sky full of stars on "the night before Christmas."

The application was formal proâ€" ceeding and has no effect on the staâ€" tus of the men who plan an appeal to the judicial committee of the Privy Council from the decision of the Suâ€" preme Court of Canada dismissing their plea for release under the Habeas Corâ€" pus Act.

Perhaps you would prefere to use, instead of the Christmas stocking as a eontainer for your ‘"Chrisimas shower‘", one of the pretty coloured "Aour‘‘ boxes belonging to a egrocery set, to be had at the store very cheaply. Pack all the odds and ends into this, and the‘ flour box itsel!f will be sure to be a most acceptable gift; suggest that it be used as a cookie tin. And why not also give a male relaâ€" tive a Christmas stcking? To many men, particularly those away from towns and cities, it would surely prove a most acceptable gift.

Patron Saint of Russia. Some time in the fourth century (the actual date is not known), there lived ;in' Lycia the Archbishop of Myra. So greatâ€"hearted 2 man was he that he became the patron saint of both Russia "and Italy. Christmas as the very name implies is distinctly a christian rite, although similar day under a different name was celebrated long before the birth of Christ. . The ancient Druids in Engâ€" land, long before the conquering hordes of Romans and Norse, held feasts and festivals about the same time of the year that we look for the appearance of Santa Claus. This man was of huge proportions. He was beloved because he protected the weak against the strong; poor against the rich, the good against the Do you know who he is? Can you answer this child:sh question? Suppose we try. In the first place it must be made clear that Santa Claus or St. Nicholas cannot be associated with Christianity jJust because he happens to pay us visit on the day we celebrate the birth of Christ,. Strange as it seems, Christâ€" mas and the Santa Clausian festival, now so inseparable, are nevertheless quite unrelated. Because Santa Claus is the most famous, the most widely known and the most beloved of all lengendary characâ€" ters the world over. We in Canada call him Santa Claus; others call him St. Nicholas or Pere Noel or Kriss Krinâ€" gle. They all mean the same. Grownâ€"ups, no less than children seem never to tire of the story of the origin of Santa Claus No matter how often the story is told, there is always a great number still seeking to have it . <And no matter how often be asked for, there is always a new story to be told. One exchange coming recently to The Advance carâ€" ries the following as its story of Santa Claus and his good wife. It may be a surprise to some to learn that Santa has a wife, but no one should be surâ€" prised at anything about Santa Claus. the Man of tg:rfilgur Who is Santa Claus "Daddy, who is Banta Claus?" What a simple quest.on! But how difficult to answer! "It is a question that has been asked by childâ€" renâ€"â€"and> not a few grownâ€"upsâ€"for more than fifteen hundred years. And why?
