stmpßtm’a (Ehrietmaa By KENNETH RAND said Mr Simpson p* IwW "Idiots!" be added. "Eves ■= If they are my owu reinttves!" be supplemented with a dogged shake of bis partially bald bead. Jg The souvenir postal card Afi . which called forth his op mj probrlous language bad just * vV'TI \ arrived. “Look at this, will you?" Mr/v He turned the card ovei Up/ In bis lingers,, irjr 'Peace on earth, good a t 0 ,nen ''” Mr. Simpson read the inscription. Then he turned it over. “ ‘We want you with us day after tomorrow for a jjSL good, old-fashioned family reunion around the festal I&SMJL Christmas board!”’ he read fSIMm In three lines of handwrlting on the other side of the VM3& "There you are!" he exclaimed wrathfully. "There you are, doggone it!” He waved the card violently around In the air at arm's length as he continued muttering. “They send you one of these paper doilies from a madhouse dining 1 room," went on Mr. Simpson to the listening walls of the room of which he was the only occupant—“with 'Peace on earth, good-will to men’ on one side, and on the other an invitation to take a sixhour trip out into the sluehy country for a rotten meal with a gang of people who drive me crazy at the thought of being related to, every time 1 see ’em.” “Here I am,” he said, regretfully shaking his head over his hard lot in life, "here I am, planning that I'll be comfortable for at least one Christ mas. anyway. Family away in Florida for the winter; me here ail alone, tc do just as 1 like —and now along comes this—this summons to spend a day be ing miserable!" Suddenly Mr. Simpson sat up straight in his chair. “By jerry!" he ejaculated suddenly. "By jerry—what's to hinder me from being the martyr in the cause? What’s to prevent me from putting an end to this dad-dinged practice—huh? "Suppose I don’t go to this Christmas reunion? Suppose I stay home here and enjoy my day of peace on earth in the way I want to? What will happen? “Why, next year there won’t be a single, solitary soul of my relations that will get together in an affair of this kind. I’ll have pointed the way—i’ll be the example they’ve been waiting to follow away from custom —and, by jerry. I’ll bet you the thing will spread, too! "And I’ll be responsible for it!” idried Mr. Simpscn joyously—“if I itay away, just this once, from this 1 Christmas party I've been invited to! “And think of the good I’m doing to other people, too!" he added. "How grateful the public will be to me for pointing out the way to their own release from this idiotic custom of sacrificing themselves! "Why, I shouldn’t wonder if there would be a statue erected to me as the first mau who stayed away from a, ■ family reunion at this holiday! I can see It now, labeled: ‘The People’s Santa Claus —He Gave Us What We 'Wanted Most for Christmas!’” I And so, in pleasant reflection upon the perfection of his plan ae he had carried 't out, Mr. Simpson's thoughts ran until Christmas morning. It was Mr. Simpson's idea to eat his Christmas dinner, ordered in from a nearby restaurant, in the solitude of his own home, bare as it was of his family. At one o’clock the waiter brought In the heavy tray. Mr. Simpson super Intended the arrangement of its contents on the table in the dining room. And it was Just one-fifteen, as he <tood rubbing his hands at the proaI pect of eating alone on Christmas for the first time in his life—when the doorbell rang. ' Doggone it!" burst out Mr. Simp sob. ’ What's that?” * For a moment he decided not to open the door. Then he changed his mind and went downstairs, two at a time. It might be some bad new* from hie absent family. He threw open the portal—and staggered back Into the ball. And after him trooped a gayly shouting mu laughing party of sixteen —Mr. Simpson's relatives! "We came to eat our Christmae dinner here!" cried one of hie aunts. "You poor man —we knew you’d be all alone!” gushed a first cousin. "We didn’t want you to eat youi Christmas dinner all by yourself," ) thortled another female relation, "so we brought ours here in baskets to eat with you!” Mr. Simpson looked over the crowd still streaming Into his front hall. His lips pursed tightly a« he led the way to the dining room. But all he said, unintelligibly to his unexpected guests, was; "Weil, I guess they won’t put up that statue of me as Santa Clans this year!” I (Copyright, The Frank A. MuneerOoJ
