“Tne Dunns’ Christmas 
ousewife opens with the first chapter of “TRIP,” 
1 author has never written. The scene is laid in the plague stricken 
■ces of “TRIP” are related in so thrilling a way that each reader feels 
icidents that overtake the hero and his friends, and must be the better for 
qualities of “TRIP.” 
’ by David Lowry , and a Christmas story for children, complete the fiction. 
“The Steaming Urn,” or Mr*. John Sherwood, the authority on etiquette, answers many questions 
for those desirous of giving an “Afternoon Tea” in the most approved fashion. 
Emma Moffet Tyng contributes a paper on “Holiday Caines* and Decorations” that will aid 
the home-decorator to give those festive touches to house and table so desirable at Christmas time, and also sug- 
gest novel means of diversion. 
In “Practical Dress” Jenny June discusses “Fashionable Fads in Decoration,” 
“Walking Hints,” “Reception Gowns,” “Evening Dress for Girls,” “Artistic 
Hats,” “Hosiery and Gloves,” and tells the home dressmaker “How to Finish a Press.” 
For the window-gardeners what George R. Knapp has to say about plants must prove timely. Christine 
Terhune Herrick talks about the “Employers and Employed.” 
Maria Parloa brings to the Kitchen Department a wealth of ideas for those interested in her subject. 
With poems by Rose Hawthoi'n Lathrop and H. G. Hawthorne , and the “Chat Box” and “Needle- 
worker” full of good things, the December Housewife is a paper replete with holiday cheer, making one 
of the finest and choicest numbers ever issued.
