It was the very acme of toy Invention, dasstc of features, graceful of form, ap pareled In materials duplications of the latest modes of fash ion. Flexible of Joints, some inner mechan ism moved eyes and lips, and then It talked —talked? Blew you I yes. In the dearest childish accents. No wonder It did all these things, for, when Warren Brill asked the price, the salesman replied: "Seventy-five dollars, sir.” “Whew I” aspirated Roy Burton, who had accompanied Brill on his Chrlst- mas shopping tour, ___ “HI takeTt,” saW UHsTitteiT ^ monstrated Burton, little ones at home.” "N-no, that’s so," replied Warren In his diffident, hesitating way, “but, yon see,” and he grew flustered—"Miss Deere—” “Eh! Nellie Deere? Surely you’re not thinking of giving that grown up beauty a doll?" "Oh, dear no!” answered Brill, and he fluttered like a frightened schoolboy. “I wouldn’t dare to offer her a gift. I was thinking of present ing the doll to her little niece, Dor othy. I hope Miss Deere won’t resent my taking such a liberty. Of course we’re quite friendly—" "Friendly,1" interrupted Burton. "That’s putting it mildly. Why, every body knows you’re in love with Nel- w He, and the way she favors your company shows how she regards you." “Oh, do you think so, positive ly?” gasped War ren. His face was a vast map of longing hope. "You don’t know how —how happy you make me. Just put the doll aside,” to the salesman. "I shall want some special records made and I’ll see you later." "It’s a bold scheme,” soliloquised Warren, and proceeded straight back to the toy store. He sought out the salesman. "Now, as I understand It," he said, "a regular baby phonograph device inside the doll makes it say all those cute things, when you op erate a button?” "That’s it,” acceded the clerk. "And I can have a special record made?” "Surely. We can attend to that for you.” Warren met Nellie on the street the day before Christmas, and she men tioned the fact that she had been very tree they had received, It being strag gly and undersized. "Why,” spoke Warren eagerly, “I saw the finest layout of trees down at Chester only yesterday, Miss Deere. I haven’t a thing to do the rest of the day. Won’t you deputize me to help give the little ones a good time?” Warren arrived at the Deere home with the tree and various packages. He helped Nellie trim the tree. He operated the talking doll to even the wonderment of Mr. and Mrs. Deere, who at ten o’clock indulgently re tired. Warren began to act nervous. He had plaoed a new record specially by his side, his finger on the but ton. Nellie was looping a string made to order in side the doll. He set it on a chair of holly near the folding doors. She looked at him strangely as he said: “Miss Deere— Nellie, I have something to say to you—that is— yes—something to tell yon, and can’t say It. Won’t you please listen to what my little friend here, the doll, will say for me, and then maybe—maybe you’ll say some thing. too." "Dear Nellie, I love you. I know that you are a star high above me, and the best man in the world un worthy of you; but I can give you every luxury and ud*i the greatest one of all—love. Say it’s not altogether hopeless.” Nelly blushed peony red. Then she smiled slightly, almost quizzically. She moved four Steps. They brought her directly under the mistletoe. War ren arose to his feet. "Oh, Nellie!’’ he cried, "you—you didn’t get under that mistletoe on pur pose?” * She hung her head embarrassed, yet lovltlng. He stole to her, brave as a Hon. He circled her waist with his arm. She snuggled closer; he pressed his lips to hers.

' With scarcely a tang of wholesome cold Did the Winter's brasses blow. As Margery walked from church with me On a Cmistmas long ago. The earnest words that had touchsd ear hearts— The warnings, kindly and wli Had left a shadow of tenderness In Margery's violet eyes; The merry, hoydenlsh maid I*d known For a twelvemonth’s flying space. Had taken on that eld Christmas Day, A new and womanly grace. As through the tremulous opal oloudn That shifted and swayed apart, A sun ray lighted the rosy face. The wish was born In my heart That down the trail of the unspent yearn Whatever their trend might be. The soft-eyed maiden beside me then. Might walk to the end with me. Absently watching the velvet flakes By the white gale set a-wing, I breathe the spirit of other years While the bells of Yuletide ring; — , yea—.

LESSON OF CHRISTMAS DAY Example of Christ Should Inspire Un selfishness and Make Us Try to Remedy Faults. Christmas should Inspire a world of unselfishness. The example before ua Is almost too perfect, for It rather frightens us to attempt such divine heights of self-abnegation, but we can try. It will at least take us from the depths of selfishness, where most of us how are. Each Christmas day should teach us something of the lesson of the Holy Child’s life. If we could learn from Christmas, today and in the succeeding years the serious lessons of self-betterment and ennoblemenrt it has to offer, how in finitely better it would be than Just to look on it as a holiday for gifts and feasts, for extravagance and foolish ness. So take ah hour qr two off on Christmas day and give it up to retro spective and self-inspection. You will each find faults, if you Judge yourself impartially, for no one Is perfect. Then make a serious determination to try to overcome those faults, for only try ing to Improve is there any growth in character. If you are satisfied with yourself you stay just as you are with all your faults and virtues. But if you try hard to remedy the faults, your character is constantly growing broad er. This Is the lesson which Christ mas day has for each of you.
