I ure every year at ChristAJ
mas time to go to some
orphans' home and bring
3^! back two or three little
children to spend the holiIgjf
days with them.
This year their choice
had been two girls and a
? : lyoy. Jean and Robert, brother and
sister, and Souzette, a little, brighteyed,
winsome girl.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin (Daddie and
Mother, they had asked the children
to call them) and the three kiddies
were busy trimming the tree.
"My, what beautiful ornaments," exclaimed
Souzette.
' v "What bully lights, you mean," corrected
Robert, who was all eyes for
electrical things.
"Well, I like the tree best," put in
Jean. "It's wonderful. Did you have
a tree when you were little, mother?'
queried the child rather shyly.
"Yes, I had one every year, and I
still have my tree, you see."
"'Pears lite tneyve always naa
them doesn't it?" said Robert.
"They have had them for long, long
years. Haven't you ever heard about
the first Christmas tree?"
"No," burst forth Robert. "They
don't have time to tell us anything at
"What Beautiful Ornaments."
the home, but get up and go to bed."
"Well, a long time ago, there was
a huge forest where the fairies and
elves all lived. They had a fairy
queen who was always planning surprises
for them. One day she called
a few of her favorites around her
and gave them some orders. "Now be
sure and don't tell anyone," she said,
and off they went laughing and
whispering to each other.
"Days passed, weeks passed, and
then months, but still these little
fairies were busy as bees, working
at some big secret, from morning till
night."
'Til bet you couldn't keep a secret
that long, J^m. You'd go an' tell
Souzette. You always do," put in
Robert.
"Finally the fairy queen sent out
her heralds and called all her subjects
about her. When they were
assembled she said: Tomorrow, come
to this place at the same time. Put
on your finest clothes and come happy
as a lark, for I have a great surprise
for you."'
'Then the fairy queen sent out her
heralds again, and this time had all
the forest folk sent to her. When
every bird and animal in the forest

was assembled before her, she told
them what she had told the fairies
and elves. They fairly scampered
away, they were so eager to get ready
for the morrow."
j "Do you suppose they were more
excited than we were when we got
ready to come here?" piped up little
Souzette. "I don't think they could
be." \
i Mrs. Martin smiled at he* and gave
her a kiss. Brushing a tear from her
eves and steadying her voice she went
on:
"The morrow came, even though
many of the little folk thought it
never would come. They were all
there early, waiting, dressed in their
grandest clothes. At the time set
the queen came. She led them to a
"Well, a Long Time Ago?'
large opening in the forest, and then
the fairies and forest folk stopped
in amazement. They had never seen
anything like this sight before."
"What?what was it?" the children
chorused.
"Gee! I almost dropped that great
big ornament," said Robert excitedly.
"It was a great, huge pine tree,
decorated with little packages. These
little parcels were wrapped in paper
which looked like a spider's webb so
fine, silky and delicate was it Then
these were suspended from the tree
by a string which shone in the afternoon
sunlight like raindrops.
"Little stars had given their services
for the surprise and they
twinkled from among all the branches.
It was too much for the little subjects
and they sat down about the
tree where they were to admire it.
! "Then some of the fairies began taking
the packages off and giving one to
each member. There was honey for
Mister Bear, cheese for Mister Mouse,
corn for Mister Rat, berries and seeds

they had wanted. It was a great success.
"You know Santa grew up with these
fairies, and?"
"No, I didn't know it," broke In
Jean and her eyes grew the size of
saucers.
"So," continued Mrs. Martin, "when
Santa began making toys for children
he thought of this idea of the pine
trees, and he took a tree for each child
and hung their presents on it.
"By and by, though, his load grew
to such a size that he found it was impossible
to carry so many trees."
"Yes," said practical Robert, "they
took up too much room, and he wanted
to make toys."
Mrs. Martin nodded.

to get the trees and trim them for
him, which helped him a great deal."
"That's how they thought of these
ornaments, then," said Souzette. "This,
the last one to put on, too."
"Come on; let's get to bed quick now,
so Santa will come," suggested
Robert.
i "And they've been helping Santa
all these years," said Jean dreamily.
"Ever since," replied Mrs. Martin,
"Now let's see who will be in bed
hrst."

SOUNDS WARNING

J for the South Carolina Tuberculosis
j association, ihas received a heart ap
pealing letter from iMiss Nellie
Crouch, a former school teacher, nowsuffering
with tuberculosis. This letter
was written by Miss Crouch in an
j earnest effort to arouse other teach!
ers, and the public in general to the
| dangers of tuberculosis and the ne!
cessitv of preventing its further
spread by furnishing means of treatl
ment for those who are already afflicI
ted.
This letter from Miss Crouch will
I doubtless be read by numbers of
I interested people through the state:
"I have just heard that you are
; writing to the teachers asking a
! special effort from them in the Christ
! mas seal sale this year. Would a letj
ter from an old friend and patient
help any?
"When I taught, I was not interested
in this work to any great extent?
| so many things crowded it out. I did
; not realize then that tuberculosis was
I really a menace to me and to the
i! children I taught.
"Now that I know, it is too late
I for me to help you as a teacher?I
; must be on my back for a long, long
; time yet. After eight years of ?ghtj
ing, perhaps my experience and that
J o? my shack mate, Frances Pruitt, an;
other teacher, who is paying the
i price, might be the means of bringing
home to others of our profession
the terrible fact that the school room
furnishes too many victims to this
disease, which can be prevented.
"As the buying and selling of the
bonds and little seals are the means
of defeating the enemy and saving
lives, surely the teachers who know
will back you up. I have faith in
tneir willingness xo serve waere mey
know the need."?The State.

The Con-ect Procedure.
William Doublex is noted for his
nerve, his shortness of temper, and
his scarcity of cash. While he was
seated at a lonely breakfast in his
club one morning, a debt collector
broke in^ through the downsiness of
the porter at the door, and presented
his bill.
"Sir," said William, glaring at him,
"is this all you know of the usages
of decent society? To present a bill
to a man breakfasting, sir? Do you
know that you are intruder in this
club sir? Do you know I could call
the servants and have you thrown
out? If you wish td talk business, go
outside and send in your card."
The collector went out and sent in
his card. William picked it up between
thumb and forefinger, adjusted
