Christmas after Christmas they had taken some part—if not for the children, then for the sick or aged—but always some part. ‘ : This time it was different. They, themselves, nervously awaited the day. It was to be unique. They were to hielp in a festive occasion at a state’s prison.

That was ~;l"//‘/"“ by climbing three aoc A tiers of fire escape '«T ; ' and entering a window. This was the plan chosen as there was no dressing room in connection with the hall and no place where Santa and his party could be detained in comfort throughout the first half of a lengthy program without being observed by all. To climb three stories of fire escape on a winter's night with ever so small a bundle is difiicult enough, but to ascend the cold irom stairway each with a large basket or bag filled with .oranges and candy, and to have to replenish their supply through this same dangerous way was almost more than they bargained for or were, indeed, able to do. It was work, and Captain and Mrs. Pickering never denied it. When Santa poked his bewhiskered head through the window and dragged his lumbering bundle after him there was a hum of suppressed voices, and a marked increase in noise and merriment when Mrs. Santa appeared. All the tinie they were distributing candy and fruit they were besieged by questions from the crowd, and re-

plied with as much spirit and galety a 8 the place and the condition of the assembled audience would allow. Tt is but fair to say that Santa and Mrs. Santa both enjoyed their visit to that unusual place, and that they lingered longer than their usual custom on holiday visits. Christmas is always a &ay of joyful interest, and Santa was glad to look squarely into the faces of the many gathered in that hall that night. In spite of the clouds and mists of circumastances that engulfed them his visit during that holiday season seemed to have touched a chord that was welcome in the memory of each. Countenances at first hard, softened with the recollections of happier years. Flashes came into eyes that bespoke all that is good, and ambitious; and noble. Regrets, and remorse, and sorrows—if . there were. any—were this day swallowed up in the more sentl- ' mental and roEOLRR mantic myths 3 \\\\%\ \ill about Christmas. \\ ‘\;\\\‘\, " That was a R N\ \\\\\" itti memorable day for ill 1 \\\\\ ! “lt Mr. and Mrs. I,{ AN ‘*\\“‘\&\\N"% Pickering. They 3 .‘ \‘\M had given a little w \\\9,;-‘%‘;,.;%]%} of themselves in TR ";_: thelr ‘desire to 2 'gj +1 cheer others, and / Bln doing so the 1 A /B chimes of glado s 5% aess were started !' |l with renewed vig- %' 'E .or in their hearts. " 1 3 They had learned = - something, too. < They were wiser. oy They became con- ' sclous that there is no soil so dark that it will not respond promptly to the sunshine and gladness of Christmas. The almost instantaneous change in the expressions of many faces was entirely convincing. Christmas had come, and again it had impressed the old, old message of peace and good will to men. When the Pickerings went back ta their own comfortable home that night and sat in front of & welcome log fire they were conscious: of wishing that this good spirit of Christmas might lagt throughout the entire year. It doesn’t, of course, for human nature will be human nature while the world lasts. And they felt grateful for the sense of good will which it had brought them, and hopeful that it might linger with them for many weeks, at least, - As for the scores of persons who that day had seen their first Santa Claus since their happy childhood days In the old home, there can be no question but that their hard, unresponsive feelings were temporarily swallowed up in the more tender, humanizing strains of the- shepherds’ hymn: Glory to God in the highest, And on earth, peace, good will to men.

i The Christmas Spirit; l It Can Never Be Cheap S HE worked in what was considered a second-rate store in a big ecity. I To her, though, the store was a beautiful one. And when it was decorated t at Christmas time with its tinsel and lgay Christmas touches, she thought it the most beautiful . place on earth. l She loved the jewelry that was sold there. Sometimes she would hold a bit of cardbeoard from which hung a cheap earring to her ear and would think that when she got her pay the following week she might buy a pair. They were certainly becoming. and would be more 8o when off the cardboard. ; How crowded the store became around Christmas time. The people would look and admire and buy. She would be so busy. It was splendid to be busy, and even to be tired with the Christmas rush. There was something so stimulating about the Christmas rush.

There were several floor walkers In the store—an extra one was added for the Christmas season. True, thelr presence was not so magnificent as the floor walkers in the great, expenslve stores, but they were grand to her. And she loved to say, with a beautiful manner: : “Just a moment, madame; I will call the floor walker.” And then, this Christmas, greater happiness than ever came to her. A most wonderful fleor walker came as an “extra,” but they said he would be taken on for good—he was such a capable man. And she took him on for good. For hadn’'t they fallen in love with each other at once? Oh, to some the store might seem cheap, the people in it might seem funny imitations of the people who belonged to the very expensive stores. But there was glorious Christmas happiness in that store. For it radiated the Christmas spirit. And the Christmas spirit can never be cheap !—Mary Graham Bonner, ‘ (©, 1925, Western Newspaper Union.) Expensive Presents Do - - Not Give Most Pleasure MR. AND MRS. GORSE were in- & vited to spend Christmas with Mr. Gorse's wealthy sister on her farm, “But we can’t; we can’t,” insisted Mrs. Gorse. “‘Our rent has been raised this year, and living is so dear in town we cannot afford presents that even her children will enjoy.” : “It's us they want, and not our gifts,” rejoined Mr. Gorse. “You leave the presents to me.” On Christmas Day the Gorses drove up to the big white country Louse in thelr flivver. Such a welcome as they received. Not an idle nor an embarrassing moment—even . for Mrs. Gorse who discarded so reluctantly the weight of city poverty. Laughter, music, fun prevalled. And after dinner, when the grown-ups peeked into the nursery to see what the children were doing, Mr. Gorse had his triumph. The children had discarded their expengive toys, and sat In a circle on the floor playing indgstriously with some ten-cent magnets he had brought. “You know our children’s likes better than we do,” said the charming hostess, as she lead the Gorses back to the living room. “And nothing I recelved pleases me so much as the books you brought me, unless it 1s to have you here on Christmas day.” Even Mrs. Gorse knew that her words rang true.—H. Lucius Cook. (@, 1925, Western Newspaper Union.)
