IXsslit'.ed  as  a BeKgar, the Christ Cmid Seeks Shelter—X German Legend.
Bero is a Christma.s story that has been told the little children in Germany for ciany hundreds of years;
'T was the night before Christmas. A littlti child was wandering all alone throHRh the stroots of a great city. Peo¬ ple were hnrrying hither and thither, and express wagons were being rattled throng)! the streets. Even the snow- flakes seemed happy with the expecta¬ tion of the coming Christmas morning.
But the littlo child seemed to have no home and wandered on from street to street. Ko one noticed him except perkap.s Jack Frost, who bit hi.s bare toes and made his fingers tingle. The north wind, too, pierced his ragged gar¬ ments and made liim shiver witii cold, flonio after home ho i^assed, looking with longing eyes throngh the windows in upon the happy children who were trimming Christmas trees and hanging stockings for old Santa Clans to fill.
Cold and alone the little wanderer softly tiptoed his way np to a beautiful I window through which he could see a treo loaded with gifts and glittering with lights. He tapped on the glass, but a littlo girl coming to the window frowned and shook her head, saying: "Go away. Wo are too btLsy to take care of yon now."
Back into the dark street he went. Coming to another happy homo, where he hoard the song and laaghter of mer¬ ry children, lio climbed up tho broad steps and gently tapped on the door. It was opened by a tall footman in white hat and gloves. He looked at the child then sadly shock his head and said: "(io down off tho steps. There is liO room for such as you here."
Again and again tho little child rap¬ ped softly at door or window pane. At each place ho was refn.sed admission. Later grew tho night and colder blew tho wind. Farther and fa.-tlier the lit¬ tle ono wandered. Tho .street was lengtliy, whrn suddenly there shone ahead of him a single ray of bright light. Ho hurried on, saying, "I will go where tho little light beci;ons mo. "
Ho soon reached tho end of the street and went straight np to tho window from which the light was streaming. It was a poor, little, low house. What do you suppose the light came from? A tallow candle. Looking In, tho little ono saw fitanding upon a small wooden table a branch of a Christmas troe. Near tho firo sat a lonely faced mother, with a baby on her knee and an older child besido her. She was tilling theui a Christmas story.
The littlo wanderer crept claser and closer to tho window pane. So sweet seemed tho mother and so loving the children that ho took courage and tap-' ped gently, very gently, on the door. Tho mother stopped talking; the little children looked np. "What was that, motherV" asked tho little girl. "I think it was some oue at tho door. Run quickly, dear, for it is too cold a night to keep any one waiting in the storm."
The child r.nn to tho door and threw it wide open. Tho mother saw the littlo stranger, cold and shivering, clothed in rags, and his Uttlo feet almost bare. "fil3i.J0S_Jp09?i '?6^ child! Come in homo?    No Christmtia to celebrate?"
Tho mother put her'amis around tho strange child and drew him close to, her. She sat beside the fire with the lit¬ tle one on her knee, and h :^r own two! littlo ones warmed his half frozen hands, and, bending low over his head, kissed the little wanderer's brow. They gave him tho b-'nvl of bread and milk that had been put away for their own break¬ fast, and whi'n ho had eaten it the little girl said, "Now lot us light tho Christ- ma.s tree and sU^c our presents with this little cliild."
So bn.oy were they lighting the tree and getting tho presents ready that they did not notice that the room had filled with a strange and beautiful light.
They turned and looked at tho sx>ot ¦where tho little wanderer was. Uis rr.gged clothes had changed to garments v;hite and bjantifuL His tangled curls seemed like a halo of golden light, and his face shone with a light that they could scarcely look upc'i.
The little room seemed to grow l.trger, tho roof of tlio low house to expand and rise until it reached tho sky.
With a EWCJt smile the child looked upon them for a moment and tlicn slowly rose and floated through the air, higher even than tho clouds them.'^elves, until he appeared like a shining star in the sky and at last disappeared from sight.
The wondering children turned and whisjiercd to the mother, "Oh, mother, it waa the Christ child!" And tho mother said in a low tone, "Yea, my oliildren. "—Exchange.   	
WOMAN'S WORLD.
A YOUNG CALIFORNIA WOMAN WHO WEARS SHORT SKIRTS.
Well Known V/omen Who PUy Billiards. A Boon to Women—An Encounter Wltii s I'laciU Archduchess—Beatrice Harr»- den In California—.\ StrlkiiiE Contnut.
Woman's struggle for hygienic and unartistio dress reform, which trespass¬ es well over the border lines of mascu¬ line attire, is a hard one and very slow of results. But sho can take conr- '»go from the fact that hero and there an earnest advocate of the cause crops ijp who is courageous enough to walk tho Streets .in short skirts and leggings, ride horseback in^ a bloomer costume and never mind the gibes which are thrown at her from tho passersby.
Miss McCormick, a successful young artist of Pacific Grove, CaL, is a recent example of this kind of fortitude. The «hort skirt is a matter of convenience to her, and she has adopted it for all outdoot occasions. For fear of shocking the villagers by her sudden  change la
dre&s, she began by t:iaking her skirts just below her shoe toi)s and shortening tliom a half inch every clay until now they barely reach the knee. Her cos¬ tumes are made by a Sin Francisco tai¬ lor and are said to bo very chic and bo- coming. Ono is of gray cordurqy, with skirt to tho knees, and corduroy leg- ginjp fastened all tho way np with leatber straps and buckles.
The coat is made l'o:;g and worn over a waistcoat of the same, double breast¬ ed. A dainty shirt and ;m Ascot tie give it the finishing touc'.i. A more dressy suit is of ^»hit6 corduroy. For long tramps, whtin sho is on sketching tours, sho has a suit of English serg5, with russet leggings and a leather belt. Miss McCormick is at present engaged in painting horses in the corroil just out¬ side tho hotel grounds cf Del Monte.— New S^ork Snn.

Having feuccKl, swam, played golf is now seelciug for now fads to conquer, and most prominent among thoin i.s to be piaying billiards, a.'i English stylo now obtaining in this C'ountry to some extent. Billiards for women is by no means a new idea, even Shakespeare making us believe that Cleopatra was fond of playing, while Mary, qncen of Scots, Was an admirer of it, and on the eve of hrr execution wrote complain¬ ing that her table h.*vd Ixen taken from her. Emprcsii Josephine used to chal¬ lenge Napoleon to a ga;;ne during his moody times, and nowadays many well known liidips play a really good game. This is particnlarly ii ci of Mrs. Jack Aftor and Miss Helen (Jonld. both of whom learned by playing with their brothers when children. Mi.ss Agnes de Forrest is ono of the most prominent pupils of a lasbionablo "billiard pro¬ fessor," and last summer at ^Newport she practiced a great deal.
Mrs. John Jacob Aster is another good player, sho fir.st taking up tho fad in cnior to play with her husband, who was fond of all sports. Mis. Astor's cue she prizes highly, the hitudle being of tiny bits of fancy woods, inlaid with mother of pearl. Last winter Mrs. Parau Stevens had a magnificent new billiard table placed in tho elegant and newly fitted up billiard room at the top of her Fifty-seventh street mansion, and during Lent she gave several billiard parties, at which good scores were made by lijfliea. Mme. Patti is a famous bil- liarcf enthusiast, it being said of her, "Of all billiard fiends, Patti is the 'cooky.' "
Another talented persoa who likea to play is Mrs. Elizabeth Custer, the reader. She first learned to play when living with General Cn.ster on the fron¬ tier, where a (lilapi.iat'jd billiard table was the only means of amusement. Mrs. Howard Barnes divides her affection be¬ tween the piano, which she plays so finely, and billiards, and she has been beard to say that it she must give up either the piano or tho billiard table she would choose the former. Other well known women who pl.iy are Mrs. Pierre Lorillard, Mrs. August Belmont, Jr., Mrf- Bnrke Roche, Mrs. Horace Stokes?, Mrf. Bradley-Martin, Miss Anita do Garmendia, Mi.ss Helen Douglas, Miss Louise Pomcroy, Miss Edith Valentino and Miss Josephine Sherman.—Now York Advertiser.

A Placid A.rchduche««,
A funny littlo story, with a moral, comes from Iscbl. Not long ago a Jady who had Just arrivetl from Roumiuiia took a stroll to Sofieiis Doppel Blick, a celebrated point of view. There she met » young iiiarrie<l latly, accompanied by her littlo girl. Tho smart, rather over¬ dressed stranger was much struck with the child's frock, which wan exquisitely embroidered with forgetmenots, and advancing calmly asked the youthful mother where the garment was bought. *'I embroidt» all her frocks myself. It gives me such pleasure,'' was the smil¬ ing answer.
At this a shade of scorn came on the questioner's face, and she said, with ill concealed coLtempf. "That is only pos¬ sible with a very small household. Peo¬ ple like myself, who have so many vis¬ itors and move in tho best society, have no time for such middle class pleasures."
The other lady laughed, but returned no answer, and the fair Roumanian continupd b<jasting until at last her hear¬ er said mildly: "I also have to play hostess occasionally. My father, the emperor, favors us from time to time with a vi.-^it, and the empress often comes to see her grandchildren, as well as many other members of tho imperial family; but, all tho same, I have inva¬ riably le).snre in the morning hours to do embroidery for my littlo girl."
And before the stranger had recover¬ ed from her embarra-ssment the Arch¬ duchess Valerie and her little daughter were gone.—New York JoumaL
Beatrice Harraden.
Miss Beatrice Harraden is gaining health slowly, but surely, out in Cali¬ fornia. Sho is staying at a ranch near San Diego and proposes to take a long dra't of Pae-iUo coast ozone before she lea es there next Juno. Those who meet the young Englisli -sroman find her a very cliartning personality. Entirely unassuming, her bright mind aSorda a fund of entcrt.'sinmeL't for her compan¬ ions. At a dinner recently given by Journalist Charles Nordhoff, Miss Har¬ raden was tho center of attraction and entertained tho company v,-ith some of her experiences. "My book," she says, "brought me bushels of letters in criti¬ cism of it. Some of tbeiu are very funny. An Italian said, 'I read your book, and I love it.' I answered his let¬ ter. Such devotion was entrancing, though 1 believe this foreigner was ig¬ norant of the English meaning of the words he used.''
Miss Harraden admits that her own experience at a health resort suggested tho young woman In "Ships" and promises, too, that her forthcoming sto¬ ry is to bo about healthy persons. She Btill sutfers much inconvenience from paralysis of the right fore arm, brought on by plaving the violoncello. She can write only ten minutes at a time and uses for this work a penholder of the di¬ ameter of a broomstick. This arm trou¬ ble is very similar to the affection known as writer's cramp and affects the hand as well as tho foro arm.
A Coptraiit.
On the morning tjf tho day of the re¬ cent great military review in Boston that genial observer, "Listener," of The Daily Transcript, paused a moment fvt ono of the r.riuories to see the young militiamen in their everyday clothes, serenely arriving to prepare for the day's pageant, and this is what he saw:
There came np two pale and pimply youths, somewhat undersized, with sol¬ diers' trousers on, bnt otherwise In cit¬ izens' dress.   They had paroels under
thfMr iVg"SW>B^ HUH)*- Mito.J^<i,f!ai\f»IQ^
as they entered. They were not impos¬ ing in appearance. They had the aspect of half suffocated dry gooels clerks. The'r chests were narrow imd their legs spindling. But th(>y could be soldiers. Then there pa-sseel in the opixjsite direc¬ tion two girls, who were almost 6 feet high, iMTfect Dianas in their propor¬ tion.'^. Tliey walked springily and firm¬ ly uiid held their rosy faces sufficiently high. They had never smoked any ciga- roites—that was clear—and they were altogether splendid specimens of hu¬ manity. Were they on their way to a gyniuivsiuni not far off? The Listener does not know. At any rate, they look¬ ed ii.s if they had lived naturally and wholosumely antl as i£ they had strong and supple limbs and resokste spirits. In short, they lo<ikeil about 99 per cent fitter to be soldier.'! than the youths Who had just gone into the armory.

A Boon to Women.
There's a new thing in the shoe busi- nea-s. A man who has been at it in this city for a number of years and knows all about the whims of customers and the ins and outs of tho trade has hit upon the novel scheme. His plan is simple, but most practical. It is no more than to measure, fit and complet-a the sale at tho cxtstomer's residence. An order i^: received, an idea given of the goods desired, and a wagon carrying a miniaturo shoe stock is dispatched to the hcjie, accompanied by an experi¬ enced salesman. AU the aetallB are at¬ tended to in the privacy of tho boudoir or the reception rooir*. And thus the feet are shod without trouble, annoy¬ ance or embarrassment.
Embarrassment? Yes, there is much of it that is connected with the purcbase of a pair of shoes, slippers or boots in a public store. With many fashionable and other young women it is an honr to be dreaded" when the shoe store must bo visited.    And visited it must be, as no
I'earlg In Fashion.
The leaders of fa.'^hion in Paris have declared that pearls shall be tho most fas'uionable of all ornaments this wintor. Strings of fine pearls will l)e twisted in and one among the coils of the hair, a happy revival of tho styles in vogue in the days of Lonis Quiiizti. when the la- eiies of France wore their hair powdered aad decked with pearUs, The use of pearls will not bo confined to tho hair, however, for they will be worn in ev¬ ery kind of a necklace, from a single row to a wide collar inaele of row3 of
poarU catight together with a diamond cla.~p at intervals iironud the neck. A loug, slender chain of pearls is another fancy, and this is worn twice around the throat, forming a kind of necklace. It falls in graceful loops to the waist and is caught at one side of the corsage by a jeweled pin.
For those ^vho cannot afford the gen¬ uine article there are surprisingly good reproductions of tho most costly pearls. Art has improved on the old fashioned imitation, which never varied in color from tho waxy whiteness, and now the changing tints are brought out in all the exquisite colorings of tho real gem.
Harriet Maxwell rouverse.
An accomplished woman who has been adopted by the Seneca tribe of In¬ dians, and who takes r deep interest in their welfare and advancement, is Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Converse, who resides in New York city. In 1792 the Seuecas adopteel her grandfather, giving him the name of Ty-ya-hy-ez, which means honest trader. In 1804 her father was adopted by them, and it was but nat¬ ural thiit she should have groat Influence with them. Semio four years ago they made Mrs. Converse a chief, she being the first woman to receive such an honor. They call her Ya-ie-wah-noh, which int<;rprcted is to tho eScct that sho has watched like an eagle over their interests. Mrs. Converse has many mag¬ nificent wampum belts of great value.

The sun shines gloriously overhead. The sky is a pale, cloudless bine, and tho foliage around ns shows every shade .and tint from brown totcarlet. from the palest to the deepest green.

Wo do not move, for in India wo have not that irrational and idiotic notion that a picnic is no picnic unless yon wait upon yourselves, lay your own Itinch and bum your own tngera over ;.'our kettle.

What Christ Taught. ^
Before Christ came men did not kriotr God.    They did not  understand his fa- therhoo<l and  affection.     They hud   all alcfliR stjpposod that whoever would-en¬ joy Goei's   f.-\Tor   must   purchase   it  in iome way, arid so before the coming of Christ men crouched and  trembled be¬ fore  Ood  as  though  he were an  al¬ mighty tyrant ai'.J   they wor3hip<»d'4'e- fore him with sacrifices of blavish feat,* Bnt the  cot:;iag  of  Christ  brought a new  element  into  human  faith.    H^ taught not the Jew alone, bnt ho taugh* all   men   eve>rywhere  that  God  lo-ve* them; that ho  luves  them  as  .-iinnerii;. that he loves them with a love that ia ¦ more   devoted   and   tender   than any; mother bears her child; that he i.s not, only ready to forgive them  all  tiiat  \*'. past of transgression  and sin, but- make them heirs of a glorious and eter¬ nal  inheritaue-e;   that all  God  asku o£>5| man is love.—Christian Advocati.

Velvet has been out of tho running, rather—as regards evenitig dreiises—for the last three or four years, but this winter it is to have an inning and is already supplanting moire antique for dinner and tea gown.s. I have just seen a magnificent ball gown of this material for the wife of one of our merchant prince . It is in soft rose pink, with pearl stars of varying size embroidei-ed on the front and the most fascinating of sleeves made of white chiffon, optn down tho center to show the arm, and bcrdeied each side with a narrow band of sable.
