“When I saw you a couple of months ago, I made up my mind you were getting old. At least you looked it.” “Yes, Billie, and I felt old. No appetite, couldn’t sleep nights — one day just like another, and none of them any good. I knew constipation was at the bottom of it, but it seemed the more laxatives I took the worse I got. Then one day I saw Nell giving Nujol to my little grandson. The doctor had prescribed it for the baby, but I found out it’s just the thing for old fellows like me, too. “I tell you, Billie, it keeps me

Upon :: Christmas Day - - - By William Luff, in The Christian I A STAR peeped forth upon Christmas Eve, And told of that other Star: Whose beams shine bright, through the world’s dark night. And scatter the shadows far. JA snowdrop bloomed upon Christmas Day, And told of that spotless flower: Whose perfume pure, should all frosts endure. And brighten Earth’s wintry hour. The bells rang out upon Christmas • ( Day, And their message came a call To worship the Son of the Highest One, Who came with good will to all. The holly berries on Christmas Day, Blushed red in their fadeless green: For their coral red, shewed the blooddrops shed. As they shone the barbed leaves between. A feast was spread upon Christmas Day, And mirrored the feast He spread. Who was born that He might our Banquet be. The True and the Living Bread. A son came home upon Christmas Day. A son from a far off land: And he told once more, of God’s open door. The kiss and the welcoming Hand. A babe was born upon Christmas Day, And the speechless Infant told. Os the manger Child, that In beauty smiled. On that first glad day of old. Christmas Giving and Being Happy How Yuietide Problem Was Solved in Most Satisfactory Manner. By KATHERINE EDELMAN

John !" Ellen said, “1 had no idea that it was so late.” “That's because you were so interested, dear,” John answered; “when it comes to making plans for Betty you forget time and everything else.” Ellen reddened ever so slightly. She knew that what John said was true.
By® v y “vd ■ |' -r^ :.: TO
for ever* since Betty luid come to them, now nearly six years ago. her whole life li a d been wrapped up in the chili Ilers was such a passion of motherlove that sometimes she grew almost frightened at its intensity, and often when John had laughingly teased her about forgettlnj him for Betty her conscience smote her.
And now she had talked John into letting her buy the big doll that had been in Harwell’s window since the holiday season opened. John Lad tried to tell her that the small gifts they had already pur chased would be enough for Betty, but finally he had given in to tier pleading. She agreed with him that twenty dollars was a big sum to spend for a doll, but Betty was Betty and deserved it. For the Warners were poor—not poor In the utter, abject poverty that flaunts Its face to the world unshamed —but poor in the poverty that means worn and threadbare carpets, clothing grown thin and shiny from long usage, and a careful pausing before the spending of an unnecessary penny. Somehow, since Betty came they had never been able to get ahead ; there was always something needed for Betty and she had always gotten it. Next morning Ellen left the house early, with the wonderful twenty dollars in her purse. Betty had been left next door, all unconscious of the errand her mother was on. Half way to town two women entered the car and sat back of Ellen. They were of the loud, overbearing type of women, overdressed and contemptuous of those who possessed little of material things. Scraps of their conversation came to Ellen at times through the maze of her busy thoughts. "1 think it’s perfectly awful, I do,” one of them was saying, “the way some women do. It’s really sinful in these days to be dowdy. A woman’s got to wear good clothes to be anybody, and believe me, it’s the dowdy women who walk alone.” “You’ve just said it,” her companion ■ answered. "As I tell George when he ! kicks about the bills, a woman has got , to dress nowadays or get nothing out . of .fe.” The words sank Into Ellen s brain I as her eyes were scanning an adver- | tisement at a crossing: “Be fair to yourself, buy your millinery at Madam • Courteau’s.” And as other words of | that ilk floated back from the women they began to stir up a queer feeling inside <>f Ellen Warner. Her glance traveled to her dress, her shabby, mended gloves, and her face began to burn as she thought of the little hat she was wearing. She tried to shake off the feeling that was upon her and to get her mind back on her mission, but somehow everything seemed different now in the light of the strange unrest that was tilling her heart. "Was she a little fool, as these women had said. Was she fair to herself? Had she, in the little mean things that were her everyday portion and which until now had seemed to her veritable things of de- ■
light, cheated herself out of all that meant so much to other women? Had she really been fair to herself in sacrificing so much for her child?” The car pulled up with a Jerk. She alighted quickly and made her way toward Harwell’s. Suddenly she stopped short. A sign overhead caught her eye: “Be fair to yourself—buy your millinery at Madam Courteau's.” Then her gaze traveled to the window with its array of tempting millinery. And as she gazed her breath began to come quickly, her hands to open and close with nervous, twitching movements. For a little hat in a dull shade of blue caught her eye. She was gazing at it fascinated, for as the sun outshines the stars, so to Ellen •lid this particular hat eclipse all the others in the window. Somehow, it seemed to her at tiiat moment as if she had been wanting a hat like that all her life. T‘ little pink rosebuds j that nestled around the crown seemed to call and beckon to her, and almost before she realized what she was do^ Ing she was inside the store and asking to see the hat. The saleslady, with all the art that was hers, placed it with a skillful touch on Ellen’s head. And as Ellen looked in the great mirror she saw a face that was Hushed to a rose-pink with excitement, and above It the much-wanted hat. which seemed to be a very part of her self, so thoroughly becoming it was. She wanted the hat so bad I The soft, lovely colors brought out all the charm i of her fair loveliness and she thought
H M
how much John would like to see her as site looked now. The thought of her husband brought another thought to her, too. Perhaps all these years, while ’ they had been ! sacrificing and i skimping, be, too, I had wished for and wanted many things. Surely he must have! Not, perhaps, things like women cared for. but other little luxuries that
many of her friends had. She remembered now how longingly he haJ often looked toward the golf links —what a big thing It would be if j Christmas would bring him the things necessary to play the game. The city maintained a free course not far from their home. And If she wanted so l badly to spend twenty dollars for a . hat, surely John, who was seeing and bearing things every day, must often I have wanted something pretty badly, too. She thought now how wonderful i be had always been—never a word of complaint, but always cheery and happy. She realized now, with a bit ter feeling nt her heart, that she had not been fair to him—she had given ! their child more than her share of the { little they bad. But from now on things were going to be different— John must have the best. Betty had many years ahead to enjoy things, ami besides she realized now It did not take expensive gifts toplease children With hands that trembled Ellen reached up and took the hat from her bead and. not daring to look at it again, hurriedly left the store. That Christmas was a very happy one for the Warners. For. although Betty did not get the big doll, she i seemed Just as pleased and happy as a child could well be And Ellen felt a new glow at tier heart when she presented John with his Christmas gift, for he was as Jubilant as a boy about it. Her sacrifice had been indeed worth while —what did a becoming hat matter when put beside the happiness she felt just now ? But the good Christmas fairy must have been watching all, for an hour later John’s boss called up to wish him a merry Christmas and to tell him j that Old Man Jinson was going to ! resign and that John would have ^is ; place. A wonderful Christmas sur 1 prise it was, for it meant an extra । five hundred a year to the Warners. Which made it probable that Ellen got her much-wanted hat. after all. ((£). 1925.
