Superstitious Mothers.
In the far north skin cradles are
commonly used. As a rule these are
very crude and often unsightly In
construction. They are very rare,
even in great museums and ethnologic
collections, because of the supersti

A Gift With A Thought In It.
What other Christmas- pres
ent costs so little and means so
much as a subscription to The
Youth’s Companion—52 weeks
for $1.75 ? It is a gift which ben
efits not only the one member
who receives it, but every mem
ber of the same household.
With many Christmas pres
ents the sense of novelty wears
)ff by the week’s end, but The
Youth’s Companion is as new
and sought after the fifty-sec
ond week of the year as the first.
It is elastic in its adaptability,
too; for it does not matter
whether the present is for a boy
or a girl, young married people,
sedate couples, grand-parents—
there never was one yet who did
not set store by The Youth’s
Companion. You cannot make
a mistake if you give The Com
panion—and it is only $1.75 a
year now. On January 1,1912.
the price will be advanced to
$2.00.

STORY OF THE PLAY
“THE LITTLE HOMESTEAD” tells a touching story of human interest—a story with a
moral, forcibly told and beauti ful in its pathos. It is a story which makes one better for the
knowing, yet a tale of such dramatic force and virility that in terest is heightened by every
word and situation. .The quaint New England setting is a fitting atmosphere with which to sur
round the characters. One feels at home by the fireside with the devoted young husband anc
handsome wife; hudders at the entrance of the villian who cross es the happy threshold and
strikes at the sanctity; sorrows at the frailty of the wife, who in a moment of blind infatuation
succumbs to the wiles of the de stroyer; weeps with the discon solate husband and finds hope in
the ill-shapen cripple to whom the wife has been kind and who now knows that his deformed
being was created for a purpose. Pathos pervades when the doors of the homestead are closed up
on the wife and the home destroyer. The sorrow and suffering which follow the unhappy wo
' man to squalid apartments, and to drunken abuse from the man with whom she has cast her lot.
ore relieved by the appearance of the husband who hopes to again lead her back to paths ol
right. The little cripple again sees and knows. It i‘ ’ - hand il.a ru! the homestead ol it
