HERB never was such
•a doll. 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 ^

"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

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

"Oh, Nellie!’’ he cried, "you—you
didn’t get under that mistletoe on pur

* 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. ' ’

k CHRISTMAS WALK
It
In ritvery softness the anthem closed
Like a slowly silenced bell;
The sacred calm of a peace divine
Like a benediction fell;
And out bn. the morning light that spread
A glimmer of amber gray,
X walked with Margery home from churofc
On an old, old Christmas Day.
»
A bland, mUd dar-for. the rugged, month
Had chosen a kindly mood,
Like a wonderful mellow aftermath
From the Autumn's plenltuds. '
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—.
At our children’s romping play,
jvalked from church with
me
On that old, sweet Christmas Day.
—Harriet Whitney Durbin, In People's
Home Journal.
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.

CHRISTMAS
Sparkling snow on the ground
—an invigorating tang To the
air—the mouth-watering smell
of cooking from Ihe cozlly-warra
kitchen—our bay safely home
from overseas with brave stories
to tell and all the manhood crys
tallized in him—relatives and
old friends gathering at the fes
tive table—holly wreaths at the
windows and a crackling fire in
the open hearth—the- hilarious
laughter of kiddies as the new
toys make them .bubble over—
mistletoe nailed mischievously
above the door for the kiss you
mean to give bustling, unsus
picious mother—the silvery,
tranquil peal of church beNs
across the soft-snowed open
places—an amazing forgetful
ness of the dour antlcipatious
and business worries of only
yesterday—a sudden re-belief
that love is life— .
That is Christmas!

NEEDLESS PRECAUTION.
Hubby—It’s all rot and nonsense to
try to make children believe there’s
such a character as Santa Claus. They
ought to be taught better.
Wlfey—Our children don’t need to
be taught better. They know there’*
no Santa Claus In this house.
