I CHRISTMAS ; "INSIDE" I By GERTRUDE H. WALTON ! | O'rmrtriTnnrnnn.rirriu! THE large house interested ' Celia. There seemed little life within, no Christmas decorations in the windows as in many dwellings on the streets. Tonight, a dim light in the back, with the early Christmas eve twilight, heightened its drabness. ‘‘One may be excused for inquisitiveness, tonight,” Celia led Ann, her roommate onto the porch. ‘‘This house, outside, looks gloomy but no more than is my heart. I’ll admit being disappointed because of no opening, after our singing I audition over WGQ this afternoon.” I I Celia, slipping to a side door, with Ann, began singing Christmas car- ; ols. A door opened and a dignified woman said: “Come inside, girls, and sing. I'm Mrs. Ashby. There's a piano, ( not opened since Beulah—” “We'll sing if you join us,” Celia answered. After singing, Celia told of ambitions for her voice and of the afternoon’s disappointment. “Girls, you have given me a happy pre-Christmas eve and birth- , day, as well. Many of my club members have birthdays at this season. Please come again, tonight, if you wish. You're across the i street.” Celia and Ann, at home, were ' eating, when, answering the tele- ; phone, Celia swung Ann around i into dizziness. “We’re to report for a program tomorrow afternoon over WGQ! Someone not filling engagement! We'll practice on Mrs. Ashby's piano. Let's decorate her windows with these wreaths,” Celia cried. During the Christmas day program. dedicated to those with birthdays of the season, when Mrs. Ashby's name was mentioned, the 1 announcer said: “Mrs. Ashby will enjoy this program. She called us last evening —asked that you girls sing for birthdays of her club members — other members asked for you, too. Mrs. Ashby travels, gives of time and money to a shut-in club of which she is national president. Her daughter is the wife of a famed doctor in India. You probably will have a permanent program for ■ birthdays of listeners.” “Maybe that house interested me because, even through boards and stone, human kindness, character, oozes through. Her windows look pretty, though, with our wreaths,” Celia told Ann. © Wes’prn Newspaper Union. CHRISTMAS IN THE HOME CHRISTMAS festivities are likely to be much more fun when the whole family helps, says the New York state college of home economics. The older children are always eager to trim the Christmas tree, collect Christmas greens, and make wreaths. Often they have good ideas on how to arrange these holiday decorations. Because these tasks are unusual they have a special appeal, but with the right encouragement from father or mother even the more routine work may seem a part of the general family-sharing at Christmas. Big brother and sister can be a help if they show their small brother or sister how to help in odd carpen--1 tering jobs that come with Christmas. If mother is busy, older brothers or sisters can help the youngsters to dress or get ready for bed. What can the small members of the family do? Little Johnny or tiny Mary can cut out gingerbread men and other fancy shaped cookies, which mother will lift onto the baking sheet. Father will also be pleased to know how well his small son or daughter can find his tools, cut the string used to wind the Christmas wreath when both of father's hands are busy, or to help with other preparations. One thing father and mother , should remember is to watch for signs of fatigue or nervous strain in Hie younger children. They should not ask the children to de too many or too difficult tasks. © Western Newspaper Union.

AY, Jen, where's the star for the top?” Dick Dartmouth smiled down at the girl who stood at the foot of the ladder. “How does it look?” he asked. “Fine, Dick. It's almost like being home,” she exclaimed, and then her face sobered. “Here!" said Dick, and descended. “Don’t you dare let me down. ! It’s a darn shame that the whole school piled off for the holidays and left you behind with me, but still, if you hadn’t stayed, what would I have done?” “And if you hadn’t sttiyeG, what would I? I couldn't nearly afford the trip home.” “But at least, Jen, you have a home,” he said wistfully. “I know. I'd been thinking of that.” She straightened. “Come on, let's get through. What shall we do with the mistletoe?” “I’ll take it.” He began twining ' it around a lamp fixture. “Do you know, Jen, ' ht said musingly, “I’m surprised some of the other girls didn’t invite you to visit them.” She was silent for a moment. 1 “They did, Dick. But I preferred to stay here with you.” “Honestly, darling?” He laughed I happily. “And I turned down three chances just to stay with you.” And quite naturally he discovered what to do with the mistletoe. © Western Newspaper Linton.

EVERY family has its own way I of celebrating Christmas. Do you have the tree on Christmas eve or Christmas morning? It seems all wrong to me to take off its gifts at any other time than the dark early morning of Christmas itself. Yet I have a friend who considers that Santa Claus can only arrive in the candle-lit twilight, so that visions of sugar plums already seen, as well as those to be found in the stockings at dawn, may dance through the heads of the young ones. Among my Christmas memories are years when our household could not afford trimming a tree, and there was no mantelpiece for hanging stockings. Some people might think that a combination to knock merriment into a cocked hat! They should have seen our excitement at hanging a stocking from the back of each chair, and the delighted squeals when we discovered in the morning that Santa had filled the chairs as well as the dangling hosiery with appropriate gifts. If they were cheap and the tinsel and holly conspicuously lacking, only the grown-ups knew it. There was always a box of dominoes in somebody’s stocking, since my father liked to play. We usually spent Christmas morning in a family game, and 1 have just this moment suspected it wasn’t the children who started it! I've another friend whose father insists on making popcorn balls Christmas morning, and her mother must always fry sausage. So, Merry Christmas, each in your own way! © Western Newspaper Union.
