New year greetings and celebrations, and finally the farewells as each one hies to his own home or to his place of business to take up the daily round. Young- sters, we hope, have caught up on their sleep and recovered from the tragedy of broken toys, For them the tun and excitement will begin all over again when they return to school and exchange stories about Christmas and New Year's and what Saute put iu their stockings. And the stores will lie busy- exchanging Biliy'r, skates that were too big, Mother's slippers that were too small, Dad's shirt that was too tight in the collar or lunt Kate's sweater that wasn't quite the right colour. But there will also be any number of gifts that were "just exactly rl hat I wvanted"! The gaily decorated tree will pres- ently be divested of its trimmings.— each ;patkle bauble carefully wrap- ped and the lifelees strings of electric coloured bulbs replaced hi !heir boxes for future use. And the tree, the beautiful tree, that •teas once a living thing, will be con- signed to the backyard, its ultimate fate the garbage truck or the chop- ping; bock. T am glad the practise of just cutting the tops of trees is becoming so popular. Thus the life of the tree is spared and it is sur- prising how quickly the branches beige- the cut reach upwards and make a new top.

But Johnny was here for Christmas dinner and we also, in- vited his brother Bob, So we 'did have a "Bob" for Christmas after all. Everyone managed to do full justice to my Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. Then came tite fun of unloading the Christmas tree and discovering tlze contents of the boxes and parcels so gaily wrapped and beribboned, There were also telephone calls from various friends home for the hoidays--and then the inevitable dishes! Christmas night Daughter took the late bus back to Toronto. That's what collies of being a landlady! All the other occupants of her house had gone away for Christmas with the exception of one tenant and her little boy—and since that sane ten- ant ,vas expecting a call from the stork at any time Daughter did not feel that she should leave the house for very long especially as the weather got very cold. So now we are alone again— with the carcass of the chicken to feast on—and a chance to catch up on the news, And speaking of news 1 ant sure everyone was glad the Contunenist attack in Korea that was expected at the full of moon did not materialize. But even at that there is plenty of news. Imagine the Coronation Stone being stolen! Nothing in the British Isles is more steepen in historieal tradition than that ',ante stone. And British people don't like any disrespect shoeii to their traditions. After all England wouldn't he England without its traditions. It is said the Coronation Stone was used by Jacob for a pillow. The sante night that he used it Jacob had a vision in which God made a convenant wwitit hint. 'Then Jacor, made an altar of the Stone to worship God. Twenty-one years later 1)0 took the Stone with hisu down to Egypt and when lie died committed it to Joseph's keeping. The Stone retrained fn 1110 custody of the Israelites .during their won- derings until the time of Jeremiah. About 580 B.C. Jeremiah gave his consent to the marriage of his greed. daughter Tea Tephi to the Ki.tg of Ireland providing the Ring would give up idols and establish "schools of the prophets" in the North of Ireland, This was done, the two were married, and the Stone of Israel placed in the Royal Wal- - ace an the two crowned upon it. then the King of Ireland captured Scotland he eet up his kingdom there and the Stone of Destiny was also taken there. later it was trans- ferred to Loudon where it has re- mained for over 600 }.car,. This Stone. has two iron links at either end of it, almost worn through because, according to tradition, it was carried by the children of Israel through the wihlerness, and on its long Journey to the British Isle,. In corroboration of this tradition it i; said that on an island not far from Ulster there is 0 cemetery where the tomb of Jerelniali can be seen, ;also that of Zedel:ie11's daugh- ter, 'he Princess `.l'ea Tephi.

Beauty Aids Are An Ancient' ie Story Fashionable.. Greek and 12otnan ladies lased elaborate aides to beauty. '.iiley begun the day by having their hair piled up in diadems as high as towers. If the hair was tido they used artificial tresses dyed blonde with goat's fat and beech ash, or perhaps black hair im- ported from India, Arms and brows Were painted with chalk and white lead, cheeks and lips with ochre or - wine Iees, eyebrows and round the eyes with powdered 01160101)y. Then they Were loaded with jewels, trin- kets, bracelets, ear -rings and pen- dants, Nothing like it was seen again until the eighteenth century in France, when Madame Pompadour set what one critic called "the stupid habit of rouging." Ladies laid on the rouge so thick that it was hard to tell one from another. "They not only obliterated their faces," says the critic, "but quenched every feeling of desire in sten, whose one wish was to flee from thein." French women Bare always specialized in the. arts of feminine seduction, and they have never been afraid to go to extremes. In the last century, famous cocottes in Paris dyed their flair bright red, rouged their cheeks and attached lon gartificial lashes to their eyelids. Midway between them and the ladies of society was a strange class of super -vamp known as tine demi-castors, who dressed like princesses, changed their lovers as often as they changed their clothes, and helped the young dandies squan- der their fortunes. It was the co- cottes and the demi-castors who made Paris the world's fashion centre, They dressed at Worth's, drove in elegant .carriages and, ex- cept in private, behaved with the ' hauteur of duchesses. The more men they ruined, the more they Y: ere in demand! They were past mistresses in the Beauty Stakes: but, in England, powder, rouge, lipstick and eye- brow pencil were tt11ti1 quite re- cently used only by courtesans, It was considered unbecoming for a respectable woman to touch-up her. face except in a very unobtrusive way, and the feminine fashions in Edwardian days reached the low- est depths of ugliness. It was not until 1912 that the fashion for make-up found its way here from America. By the end of the first '\Vorld War it had spread through every class: Today, beauty and chic are so within every girl's reach that we're inclined to forget that for thou- sands of years they were only for the, very rich. Suddenly everything which the grand lady wore could be -diad by the millions --at least, in ithitatiuu. The' factories began. to pour out cheap substitutes for• fur, silk, leather, velvet, precious stones. Every •girl became beauty conscious, and vast' industries sprang up 10 cosmetics, ireatl1y pi'e- parations and hair dressing. Feminine gladiola' began to man- ufactured on a vast scale, inspired by the stage and films, and helped by the illustrated journals. Soon it 'was seized upon by industry to help the :ale: of everything from toothpaste to holiday trips. In America, syreus. took the place of 1•eeruiting sergeants; and A 111 y Semple Macpherson ever used choirs of "Angels" to draw people to religious meetings.
