--gih.Billy Gets a Christmas Flower for His Mother By Martha Banning Thomas

HJ.Y loved flowers, particularly yt| red ones. From the moment be • could toddle around alone, he had gone straight to the poppies In his mother’s garden and pulled off ail the heads. This was out of sheer love, not naughtiness. For. let it be understood. Billy was a kind little chap. When Billy grew to be three years eld he still loved red flowers, but he

did not pujj off their heads. He kept them tightly in his fist, and smiled with contentment One afternoon his mother x took" bim shopping with her. There were a few last things sh£ needed before Christmas. Billy was enchanted by the gay stores and happy looking people. He chattered by his mother’s side and looked at ev 1 erythlcg with all his might Once.

when they were waiting to cross a street Billy’s eyes grew rounder than ever, for they were looking straight Into a large, red poinsettia in a shop window. He had never seen anything so beautiful. The policeman’s whistle blew. People streamed across the street But Billy’s mother found that her little boy had not come with her. Somehow he had slipped away. She felt a moment of panic and ran back to the policeman before th* traffic light

changed. “My little boy,” she gasped, “1 don’t know where he is!" Then she heard a clear call. "Mamma 1 Here’s —a — present —for you!” Billy’s voice. She and the big policeman looked toward the other curb. Wedged in between peoples’ legs and bundles stood .Billy waving a great red flower. His face was all smiles. “A—SSSmas present!" called Billy again. His mother and the policeman made a dash for him. The lights changed.

Traffic roared by. “I found it in a garden.” said Billy, “right there!" A surprised clerk was looking out of. the flower shop window. “Lots and lots of pretty flowers,”, caroled the Child, “not deaded like our garden.” ’ “Thank heaven!" breathed his mother, “and thank you, Billy, for my present.” The policeman grinned and "Billy’s mbther went In to pay for the flower he had picked.

“He doesn’t know any better. He thinks y<>ur shop is a garden.” she explained. “I’ll try to make him understand.” “Oh, that’s all right.” replied the clerk, “Merry Christmas, I’m sure!” Billy’s mother hugged the child with a prayer of thankfulness In her heart, and shuddered to think of what might have happened. “This is a Merry Christmas!” she smiled, and Billy wondered why she aeld him so close. ,©. 193#.
