'ChristmaS'Mush Brought i Mary Elders a Fortune | L[’I‘TI.E MARY ELDERS ftairly | dreaded the holiday season. She still lived in an aristocratic neighborhood but her purse was _nearly flat, [t was quite a struggle to keep up the old house and pretend that she had the money as of old. ' She could not afford to glve pres-. ents to all the neighbors and yet she was too proud to accept their offerings and not give in return. She dragged out her chest of keepsakes and sorted them over, all the while wondering which she might take downtown and pawn until after Christmas. Then, perhaps, she would get, another music pupil or two and re-' deem it. At last she put the old chest away for there wasn’t a thing in it she felt( she could part with, Hoping against bope that something would turn up to give, she hurried down to the big, shadowy kitchen. Here she turned out several pans of mush to cool on the polished boards. Suddenly Mary Elders had a bright thought. She knew positively that Bob Trevors hadn't tasted fried mush since he had been a small boy and long before he had met and married Alice Hopkins. Just then Mary remembered, too, that she had heard that Alice and Bob, junior, had gone to Virginia for the helidays. As a consequence, a half-hour later when Bob Trevors drove into the drive next door, Mary .Elders flitted across the yard with a heaping plate of golden friled mush which she carried proudly on an ancient tray, a family heirloom. : “Merry Christmas and a mushy New Year,” she called back to Bob as she _hurried home. She remembered she had some other neighbors who had, perhaps, never tasted fried mush in years and who might relish a plate of it. Thus hLer Christmas obligations were filled and her friends had received something ‘“different” from usual, Indeed! i There the story should end but it didn’t, for the next Christmas Mary -Elders was at the head of her own mush factory. She didn’t do the actual work but her employees did as she directed. That delicious, melty mush had made a hit with her friends, and in that short year had made Mary Elders a fortune.—L. B. Lyons.

She has never seen snow, and I verily believe she I 8 coming up from Miami just to see a white Christmas.” - “Three days.to go on,” replied John, her brother, looking at his watch, “If we are to meet that train there’s no time to lose.” ' They barely made it. True to Jane’s surmise, Lucy’s first words were: “Where’s your snow? 1 hoped to wade through it from the train.” : “You may have to wade In it yet,” sald Jane through an enthusiastic greeting. “This is John, Miss Ware, of whom I have talked so much, and he tells me that he has ordered a beavy snowfall for Christmas day.” “Good!” extending a hand and smiling her sweetest. “I surely appreciate that.” : : John couldn’t make the snow come, but he did about everything else to show Lucy a good time. Her southlern beauty and nafve manner appealed to him strongly, and he was - delighted that Jane had a devoted beau who kept her strictly unto himself, - ‘ : The hours sped by on wings. Hollday preparations were scarcely over before Christmas eve was dying. The two couples had a great time trimming the tree and putting up all the other decorations and joking about John’s predicted white Christmas. - “Just you walt and see,” he replied to Lucy’s last speech on the subject. They had reached the stair landing - and he caught her hand, holding it firmly. “Look here, girlle. If I lose I'll pay you all right; but if I win, you will pay—under the mistletoe.” “There is no mistletoe,” said Lucy, _coloring. “Oh, yes, there is; right where I hung it. Goodnight, and expect my Christmas special.” Next morning the girls were wakened by loud banging on their door. . ‘“Jane! Jane!” called John excited--Iy, “Tell Lucy to look out the window.” : ‘ - “What?” asked Jane sleepily. But .Lucy had heard and straightway . looked. . | | “I say wake up Lucy. Tell her my .
