Christmas Present for i Nancy Potter’s Birthday, DICK ROBERTS was in love withi Nancy Potter, sc was Jim Prege’ ton. Dick was working hls way| through coilege. Jims' father was Q‘ multi-millionaire. | “Not much show for me,” chk‘ soliloquized, as he did up Nan’'s present, a soft, goldy scarf thar matched! thé glint in Nan’s hair and the gleam of ner brown eyes. ;

| Amongst the ribbons and seals he thrust the card. “When Your Birthday Comes om Christmas,” it was headed. : -t :

Dick took it over on Christmas eve. There sat Jim, safely ensconsed in the easiest chair in the room.

Dick whistled bravely as he trudged homeward through the spow. [t was Christmas, the time of happiness no matter how hurt cne's feelings were. It was Christmas afterncon when Nan called up urging Dick to come over. Dick whistled cheerily as he tramped homeward that night.

g,h, yes, Jim's present was a. gorgeous sapphire bracelet and there was a lovely Christmas card. But—Jim had forgotten that Nan’s birthday came on Christmas.—Florence Harris Wells. (©, 1929. Western Newspaper Unlon.) = Oil Aids Santa Claus in Making Family Happy T[IE Berrimans had kaown bothi cold and hunger; but when oil spilled prosperity all over the district, it included Hal’s ranch. Now he could do things for Lutie, and the girls! They should have a home. Having located one for him,| the realtor started to show him through. *“Never mind,” said Hal, “all I want to know is—is it het?’ Re-, assured, he bought it furnished,| Christmas eve. P :

- Next morning he brought them. He | lighted the fire in the cheery fireplace.| Sallie quickly spied the row of sto‘ck-} ings and hugging Betty, cried: “I al-| ways knew there was a Santa Claus,: even if he couldn't find our ranch.”| “Just what we wanted, too.” said, Betty. ' ’ ' i Lutie emptied her stocking eagerly as a child. Silk stockings, bonbons,! gloves and deep down in the toe—a! wedding ring! “Better ten years late than never,” laughed Hal. “A happy! wedding, Hal, even without a ring.' Money isn’'t everything.” “Powerfnl; convenient though,” returned practical: Hal. It was his day.—Noni C. Bailey..

(®), 1929, Western Newspaper Union.) ; o S 7 | Truly Merry Christmas for the Lonely Hearts THE large old home sold—Margaret’ Brierley and her mother in their new home—a small apartment in a) distant city, dreaded the holldays, away from the old friends. Shortly before Christmas Mrs. Brierley unfolded a plan to Margaret. Their apartment was small but homelike, “with lots of love in it,” as Mrs. Brierley often said. Now there was the young man artist across the hall, the young music student, the elderly lady, and several others all away from home, and doubtless lonely for home just now. So why not have them, all in for Christmas? :

A tree sparkling with lights and decorations greeted the guests Christmas day. Inexpensive, funny gifts from a grab bag and games brought many hearty laughs. Troubles momentarily fled and hearts lightened. Margaret and her mother agreed with their radiantly happy guests’ sent!-i ment—"A truly Merry Christmas. One| of the happlest I ever knew."— Blanche Tanner Dillin, {®. 1929, Western Newspaper Union.) -
