J CHRISTMAS Ir'' HILL air, the brilliance of A encrusted snow, carols, evergreens ami feasting. These con- W stlrute Christmas to the senses. But deep within man there is something which the brightest of a carols cannot. In Itself, awaken a sense of kinship with all the ff world, that expands and biosr soms Into a spirit of real bjoth- A u erhood—and this Is Christmas.— z W. D. Pennzpacker. l! » < £ t»?» Wsatern X«w«p*p*r Us lon > 1 1 Saved to Buy Chriatmaa Present for Her Daddy , 'T'HR <Mde*t of the four childrr® was *■ now ten, their mother had been 1 ■Wad three years How the father bad kept auch a young family together was h miracle even to him, but with the help of lt>e day nursery, he had taen- ' aged very well. For rhe third Chriatmae now the widower tucked the children snugly in bed with a promlve to call them at dayhreok Thon he tiptoed tn his own room. Half hd hour later when the house ahs quiet. Santa ('laus entered the Iny kitchen and proceeded to fill the ’our IPtle stocking* hanging In a row 'ehind the stove. Then suddenly he •emembered that he bad forgotten to •ring a present for the father of the muse. How disappointed the little tnes would be to have their father >%erlooked like this! Why, they would hink he’s not been good ’ But It was (oo late, now, to get him Anything. Nothing could be done. Shortly af’er the house was quiet once again, the little girl stole into rhe kitchen and hung a stocking with a I package in it near the others. For j months she hail saved her pennies so ' that when Christmas came again she ' would be able to play Santa Claus to < daddy. "How surprised ’n happy he will be,’’ she thought, as she crept back to her room. —-H. Lucius Cook. i c), 1925. Western Newspaper Union > Burning the Yule Log The burning of the Yule log at Christmas time, in parts of England and the continent, is a survival from an ancient festival annually held i among the northern nations to celei brute the return of the sun after the winter solstice (December 21). The Yule log Is thought to bring good fortune. and frequently part of it Is saved to tight the new one in the following year. The Italians regard the charred Yule log as a preventive against lightning. “Yule" Is an old word for Christmas, and is still so used provincially. Chocolate Caramels Use one pound of brown sugar, onefourth pound unsweetened chocolate, shaved, and one-hall* cupful of water. Boil same a* fudge and before removing from fire add a generous lump of butter and one cupful of walnut or other nut meats or they may be omitted. After it is poured into a but tered pan cut It in squares before it gets hard. What to Give? When one thinks of what to give an old friend for Christmas, the first con sideration is. “Now what did I give him last year?" Perhaps that is as good away as any to open the question of New Year's resolutions. Santa a Curiosity Jud Tunkins says he wishes there were a Santa Claus, because ii won! I be such a relief to have a stranger drive up to the house and not try to sell him something.—Washington Eveuing Star. Common Type Jud Tunkins says his folks always put off their Christmas arrangement so that along about the 23rd of De eeniber they have to shop both early and late. —Washington Evening Star.
