A NEW YEAR’S PRAYER
May the strength of God pilot us;
May the power of God preserve us;
May the wisdom of God instruct us;
May the hand of God protect us;
May the way of God direct us;
May the shield of God direct us;
May the hosts of God guard ns
against the snares of the evil one,
and the temptations of the world;
Christ be with us; Christ before us;
Christ in us; Christ over us;
May thy salvation, O Lord, be al
ways ours this day and for ever-
PHILIPPA
By Anne Douglas Sedgwick
This recent novel should be popu
lar according to The Golden Book
Magazine, and like The Little
French Girl by the same author,
will reflect credit on the tastes of
the reading public if it is. It is
thoroughly readable story, of lightei
more conventional stuff'- than her
best, but with a quiet distinction,
and great solidity of character-draw-
ing . . . Between her mother, who is
“a darling, but too loving, and al
ways gets all the kicks,” and her
father whom she worships, who is
a little spoiled, floats Cosima Bran
don with time and money to look
always crarming and a little sad
The best painting is done, not in the
main, sweeping lines of the story—
which are arrestingly conventional
and weak—but in the portrayal of
the individual “scenes” which carry
the story on: between Phillippa and
her mother; between Philippa’s fath-
and mother, and between her fath-
and his second wife over his love
for Philippa . . . These are normal,
very likable people, in whose emo
tional foolishness one can see one’s
ind our sympathy, if not much
mind, is theirs throughout. .

Jack Frost brings his presents to
good children and puts them under
the Christmas tree. After dinner
the children search for them and how
many they find!
Soon knocks at the window are
heard; it is the children walking
with a big silver star on a stick,
coming to praise Christ. They have
to carry with them bags on little
sleds in which' to put all the fruit
and candies they get. Usually little
children do that and with their sweet
they sing the hymns and songs
to praise the Child.
Often whole groups of masked
young girls and boys come and with
shouts and merry young laughs rush
rooms. Laughing, songs
and dances have no end.
In the evening starts the most
interesting part—the divinations..
The telephone rings without end,
someone wants to know the
of his future wife or husband.
Raising the receiver one answers the
most terrible name he can think of;
a sigh and a hidden laugh in reply
and the receiver is hung up. Some
times one cries to a passer-by, “What
is your name.^” And always
ceives an answer. Sometimes the
girls do that together. The most
loved divination is to look into two
with two burning candles in
front of each in a dark room alone,
is believed that soon in the mir-
you will see the pictures of your
future life. Sometimes in a big plate
full of water little sheets of paper
attached all around the border,
then little pieces of wood with a
burning candle on each are found.
On the sheets of paper are written
differents that could happen in your
life, that what is written
paper burned by your candle will
be your fate.
In the morning it is so
get up early and look out the window
everything is so white around. The
snow falls in big, fluffy flakes, stick
ing to the trees and wires. The sun
plays on the snow and makes the
garden look like a beautiful country
from a fairy tale. You become so
happy, so merry, you want to yawn,
to stretch, to look forever on the
diamonds scattered by nature, but
you have to hurry, for yet you have
to see the Christmas tree and it is
almost time for visitors to come.
The table has a festive air with all
sorts of candies, cakes, wines and
meats on it. The little pig is on the
honored place, for it is his day. The
dead eyes are squinted, as if from
confusion. But hear the first bell,
who.? Hurry up to sit at the table
to begin to treat the guests. On the
first day only gentlemen come, the
hostesses are at home to treat and
will let you go without
