"Even If tboy ar?; jTiy own rela tives!" ho supplemented with a dogged ?hake o? bis purtlally bald head. The souvenir postal card which called forth his op probrious language had just arrived. "Look at this, will you?" Ho turned tho curd over lu bin fingers,. " 'i'uaco on eartn, good will to men!'" Mr. Simp sou read the inscription. Then he turned it over. " 'We want you with us day after tomorrow for a good, old-fashioned family reunion around tho festal Christmas board!'" ho read in threo lines of handwrit ing on tho other side of tho card. "Theie you are!" ho ex claimed wrathfully. "Thero you are, doggone il!" Ho waved tho card vio lently around In the air at arm's length as ho continued mutterlug. j "They tend you ono of these paper doilies Irorn a madhouse dining room," [went on Mr. Simpson to the listening walls of tho room of which ho was tho only ocmnant?"with 'Peace on earth, good-will to men' on one side, and on tho other an Invitation to take a six hour trip out into tho slushy country for a rotten meal with a gang of people who drlv? mo crazy at the ? thought or being related to, every 'time I seo 'em." "Hero I am," ho Raid, regretfully shaking his head over his hard lot in ;llfo, "hero I am, planning that I'll bo coniforlnblo for at least one Christ mas, any v. ay. Family away in Florida |for the winter; mo hero all alone, to do Just as I like?and now along com83 this?this summons to spend a day be ing miserable!" Suddenly Mr. Simpson sat up straight In Ills chair. . "By Jerry!" he ejaculated suddenly. !"Dy Jerry?what's to hinder me from bolng tho martyr in tho cause?

"Why, next year there won't be a single, solitary soul of my relations that will get together in an affair of this kind. I'll have pointed the way? I'll be the example they've been wait ing to follow away from custom?and, by Jerry, I'll bet you the thing will spread, too! "And I'll be responsible for It!" added Mr. Simpson Joyously?"If I stay away. Just this once, from this Christmas party I'vo been invited to!' j ! "And think of the good I'm doing,] to other people, toe!" he added. "How grateful the public will bo to me for pointing out the way to their own r? leuse from this Idiotic custom of sac rificing the m h elves!

I can see it now. labeled: 'The People's, Santa Claus?He Gave Ua What We, Wanted Most for Christ as!'" ' And so, in pleasant r<_?iect!on upon the perfection of bis plan as he had' carried it out, Mr. Simpson's thoughts, ran- unth Christmas morning, It was Mr. Simpson's Idea to cat his .Christmas dinner, ordered in from a nearby restaurant, in the solitudo of hia own homo, bare as it was' of bis family. ; At one o'clock the waiter brought In the heavy tray. Mr. Simpson super intended the arrangement of its con tents an tho table in the dining room. .

"Doggone It!" burst out Mr. Simp* son. "WhafS that?" '. For a moment he decided not. to j open the door. Then he changed bis mind and went downstairs, two at a time.

"You poor man?wo know you'd be: all alone!" gushed a first cousin, j "We didn't want you to eat your' Christmas dinner all by yourself." chortled another female relation, "so wo brought ours herb in baskets to eat with you!" ; Mr.,Simpson looked over |b.e crowd still streaming into his front hall.
