M^n/ Words TLatAdd
to Christmas Season
W ORDS c*me to our Ups to easily
that we do not always appre
ciate how glorious some of them are,
and how much they mean to U*
Think of the words that add to the
Christmas season 1 Every one of them
has a significance and a Christmas
meaning of Its own. *
There are greens and there are rib-
bons. There are gifts and there is
Yuletlde. There Is sleigh and there
la snow.
There nre bells and there Is cheer.
There is the bright fire, and the
frosty air. There are sleds and sun
shine on the snow and the glow of a
Christmas afternoon.
There Is happiness and there are
candles. There are wreaths and holly
and mistletoe.
There Is Santa Claus for the chil
dren and friendly voices wishing one
and all a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.
There is the postman and there la
a small child by the old chimney.
There is plum pudding and mince pie
and turkey and cranberry. There Is
- the Christinas tree and children talk
ing of reindeer.
There is tinsel and there Is holiday
candy. There are stockings and there
are Christmas decorations.
There arc surprises and there are
excitements.
And all of these things have such
beautiful sounds. * The words them
selves are so w onderful. * They mean
so much. No other words would >be
the same.
And best of all Is the*word Christ
mas.
It is the year’s most glorious word.
—Mary Graham Bonner.

Six Puppies, Nellie’s
Present for Her Mistress
T HEllK was to he uo Christmas
party for little Suzanne Hansen.
The family was in dire financial diffi
culties and it was mutually agreed
among them all that for this ona
Christmas there would be uo exchange
of gifts. Suzanne was disappointed
that there would be no surprlaea, bat
sbe comforted heraelf with the thought
that alie would at least have Nellie, her
faithful dog, to play with Christmas
Day. Nellie had been given to her the
Christmas before by her ancle and die
bad been Susanne'a constant com
panion up until about a month ago
when the dog was sent away—”to the
hospital,” her mother had explained.
Suzanne had been most unspeakably
lonely all that month with no pal, and
had been counting the days till Christ
mas when she was promised the dog
would be hers again.
Christmas morning when the door
bell rang, Suzanne flew down the stairs
to answer. There was an excited cry
of Joy. “Oh mummy, come down and
* see what’s here.” There in a basket
brought by the boy from the dog hos
pital was Nellie with six little puppies
just like her. Suzanne was In love
with th* paps.
“They’re Just a Christmas gift for
you from Nellie,' , said the boy and
dosed the door behind him.—Marios

A STAR peeped forth upon Chrlat*
mas Eve.
And told of that other Star:
Whose beams shine bright, through
the world’s dark night.
And scatter the shadows far.
k snowdrop bloomed open Christmas
Day,
And told of that apotlean flower:
Whose perfume pure, should all frosts
endure.
And brighten Earth’s wintry hour.

and Being Happy
How Yuletide Problem Was
Solved in Most Satis

By KATHERINE EDELMAN
iOHN WARNER art
his wife sat talk
log In the llvinj
room of their litth
bungalow until th<
clock on the man
tel struck the mid
night hour.
“Good ‘ gracious
John P Ellen said, “I had no Idea that
It was so late.”
“That’s because you were so Inter
ested, dear,” John answered; “when It
comes to making plana for Betty you
forget time and everything else."
Ellen reddened ever so slightly. She
knew that what John said wag tru*
for * ever since
Betty had come
to them, now
nearly six yean
ago, her whole
life had been
wrapped up In
the child. Hers
was such a pas
sion of mother-
love that some
times she grew
almost frightened
at Its Intensity,
and often when
John had laugh
ingly teased her
'about forgetting
him for Betty her
conscience smote
And now she had talked John
Into letting her boy the big doll
that had been in Harwell’s window
ilnce the holiday season opened.
John had tried to tell her that the
imall gifts they had already pur- ‘
chased would be enough for Betty, |
but finally he had given In to her
pleading. She agreed with him that
twenty dollars was a big sum to spend i
for a doll, but Betty was Betty and
deserved It. 1
For the Warners w^re poor net
poor in the utter, abject poverty that ■
flaunts its face to the world un-;
shamed—bat poor in the poverty that
means worn and threadbare carpets, i
clothing grown thin and shiny from
long usage, and a careful pausing be-'
fore the spending of an unnecessary ;
penny. Somehow, since Betty came 1
they had never been able to get ahead; I
there was always something needed
for Betty and she had always gotten it
Next morning Ellen left the house '
early, with the wonderful twenty dol
lars in her purse. Betty had been
left next door, all unconscious of the
errand her mother was on. Half way
to town two women entered the car
and sat back of Ellen. They were of
the loud, overbearing type of worn- <
en, overdressed and contemptuous of '
those who possessed little of material
things. Scrape of their conversation
tame to Ellen at times through the
maze of her busy thoughts.
"I think It’z perfectly awful, I do,” ^
one of them was saying, "the way
some women do. It*s really sinful tn
these days to be dowdy. A woman’s!
got to wear good clothes to be any- J
body, and believe met lt*s the dowdy
women who walk alone."
“You’ve just said it,** her companion
answered. “As I tell George when he
kicks about the bills, a woman baa got
to dress nowadays or get nothing out
of life." *
The words sank into Ellen’s brain:
as her eyes were scanning an adver- J
tlsement at a clearing: “F« fair to
yourself, buy your millinery Madam
Courteau’s." And. as other words of
that Uk floated back from the
they l»egan to stir up a queer
Inside of Ellen Warner.
