i THE ;■ Sir | Christmas Treat :! 11 -* s • ; •*» | By MARTHA HOLDEN | f w °” l,ihj ll iivei || }'■! In a one-story brb-li II ■i lOMfidSApJ bouse, whose warm nit- II room In wlntei •j| smelled of dry wood ;•> burning In nti ulr-tighl ■■ ’• ’ stove, und of applet t> ripening In the nearby pantry. It was 8 1 ;; u warm, fruity smell that no uuiouut II •• of onion or cabbage cooking could 1 I •* obliterate. g | Mrs. Woodhull, called “old” by het «M* ;; neighbors, only sixty-eight, and a- 25 ■ jj trim and slender us a girl. It is sue I JJJ experience, rather than years tlinl u» •• wrenches youthfulness from the heart f f H and qnenches the thirst, for life, so II 5 j was that Mrs. Wodhull spent most 19 of lier days quietly rocking und II r: knitting. Her padded wooden rocket au '* faced a daguerreotype that hung on j. the brightly papered wall of the cozy «m» front royrn. -«<<• • Christmas was a lonesome time sot 11 t. the shriveled little old lady who had, Ig G forty years ago, to give up the curled 11 L gentleman in the daguerreotype, whc f « pigl tIS i/J Q ' <M •• happened to be her husband, to a worn ttw -> an much younger, who happened t< *' need a sweetheart. ' Christmas brings a train of memo ries, and Mrs. Woodhull lived over tht old sad days as she cooked and knitt;“t ted. She recalled the happy hours jgj JS too, which was worse. She talked ti $ J* herself a good deal. is ! “If that Armster girl had only let A it him alone,” she would wail softly. 1 Ji “He was all right till she set her cap £ I; for him. I bet she’s suffering some- S :: where. H "But I must read my Bible and try ? ti to forgive her. Lord help me to for J • 1 ,give her.” and so she would pray. Ji 1 The children of the neighborhood S U liked to go to see Mrs. Woodhull sot K O she always opened the cooky jar or *1 rj brought out a pan of apples. A • Os all the children in the neighbor- 4 fj hood who came to see her Mrs. Wood 1 • | ihull liked Lisbeth Baker best. Hoi 1 ti mother being dead, Lisbetli lived with * it her gloomy, rheumatic grandmother at * tl the' end of the street. it She had only been here a year, hav- 1 s', ing been handed over from her moth | S’ er’s mother, out West, “o her father’s- I U mother at the end of the street. Lis I it belli was fair and wlSful, and, like II JJ Airs. Woodhull she was very much j| It alone. » Ji Today, the day before Christmas. I L Lisbeth stood at the window. "My I ether grandma’s coming tomorrow,’- I ;> she said: “my grandma Hull. We jusl I ~ J; got tlie letter today.” jj “Two grandmas for Christmas,” said 1 f‘ Sirs. Woodhull. ‘Ton’ll not come neat ■ jj me. What’ll I do, ail alone!” ;t “We’ll all come over and see you ■ Ji Christmas afternoon,” said Lisbeth, ■ It dancing home to tell Grandmother ■ H Baker. I Jt Mrs. Woodhull became, in this way, ■ W the possessor of a Christmas plan. "1 ■ :s ’ must have a little treat for them,” she I f- said. She got out be good white | ;i dishes, and set the big table in the sit- ■ « J ting room. In the venter she placed a 8 blooming red geranium. “I’ll make it ■ k, into a Christmas tree," she joyously I e- (> exclaimed, and she wrapped into three I g y neat parcels a length of each of her I j knitted lace inscribing them with I ?• “Merry Christmas” and the name of I •j each guest. ;; Next day she put the finishing 8 j» touches to her table. She had a glass ■ 3 y dislt of candy, and one of nuts and I ji raisins. * i; At three o’clock Lisbeth arrived with I js the new grandmother. Grandma Baker E 3 ft couldn’t come on acqpunt of rheitma- I r: tism. The ladies sat talking, and Lis- I g'heth hovered happily about. Then she I tJ wandered out to the middle room I J ji where stood the fine table, and she I J> came dancing in to hug Mrs. Woodhull. I :: “You just ought to see it, grandma.” I J- Lisbeth’s eyes were shining. jf» “We’ll go and visit it, as soon as I < ji the coffee is ready,” explained Mrs. I , I Hill IJtil’ I I ■ JJ Woodhull, happy in the child's pleas- I ure. * G She excused herself and went to the ■ Ji kitchen. Lisbeth danced round and 8 j J- round the gny table, and Grandma Hull ■ p was left alone in the front room, ti Presently she followed Mrs. Wood- 8 ;; hull to the kitchen and closed the 8 G door between them and Lisbeth. “Don’t 8 j: you know me!” she asked, sadly. “Has ■ G no one told you? I was Lizette Arm- I ji ster. I have suffered more than you. ■ He is dead. We both loved him. May 8 tlI we not be friends?” Through the closed door Mrs. Wood- la j! I hull could hear Lisbeth happily singI’! ing. She looked at Lizette. Armster, g si. shaken with sobs. She put friendly M $1 arms about her, and soothed her with 1 fl kindly, broken words. :: “Come, nowi” she said at last, lead- ® b|*ng the way to the table with the | >: : shining coffee pot. “Let’s bo merry | 1 tj We must not spoil Lisbeth's Christmas x treat,” . _i uesu *r»
