Do your Christmas Shopping at “The Old Reliable.” Edgar Todd ^Ve Have'Moved Next Door to Casino second-rate store In e big city. To her, though, the store was a beauti ful one. And when it was decorated st Christmas time with Its tinsel end gay Christmas touches, she thought It the most beautiful place on earth. She lofced the Jewelry that was .sold there. Sometimes she would hold ft bit of cardboard from which hong a cheap eayring to her ear and would think th^t when she got her pay the following week she might buy e pair. They were certainly becoming and would be more so when off the* board. How crowded the store betaine around Christmas time. The people would look and Irdthlre and buy. She would be so busy. It was Splendid te be busy, and even to be tired with the Christmas rush. There was something •o stimulating about the Christmae rush. There were several floor walkers in the store—an extra one was added'for the Christmas season. True, their presence was not so magnificent as the floor walkers in the great, expen sive stores, but they were grand to her. And she loved to say, with n beautiful manner: “Just a moment, madame; I will call the floor walker." And then, this Christmas, greater happiness than ever came to her. A most wonderful floor walker came as sn “extra,” hut they said he would be taken on for good—he was such n capable man. And she took him on for good.

GORSE were In vited to spend Christmas with Mr. Corse’s wealthy sister on her farm. “But we can’t; we can’t," Insisted Mrs. Corse. “Our rent has been raised this year, and living Is so dear In town we cannot afford presents that even her children will enjoy.” “It’s us they want, and not our gifts,” rejoined Mr. Corse. “You leave the presents to me.” On Christmas Day the Corses drove up to the big white country house In their flivver. Such a welcome as they received. Not an idle nor an embarrass ing moment—even for Mrs. Corse whe discarded so reluctantly the weight of city poverty. Laughter, music, fun prevailed. And after dinner, when the grown-ups peeked into the nursery to see what the children were doing, Mr. Corse had his triumph. The children had discarded their expensive toyi, and sat in a circle on the floor playing iuduptrfously with some ten-cent mag nets i he had brought. “You know our children’s likes bet ter than we do," said the charming hostess, as she lead the Corses back to the living room. “And nothing I re ceived pleases me so much .as the books you brought me, unless It is to have you here on Christmas day." Even Mrs. florae knew that Jier words rang true.—H. Lucius Cook. i(£). 1925, Western Newspaper Union.)
