Ellen reddened ever so slightly. Shf J knew that what John said was true, for ever since Ear glance traveled to her dree*, her Bu«bby, mended glove* and her face began to bum aa she thought of the little hat she wag wearing. She tried to shake off the feeling that waa upon her and to get her mind baric on her mission, but somehow everything seemed different now In the light of the strange unrest that was Ailing her heart. “Was she a little fool, as these women bad said. Was she fair to herself? Had she, in the little mean things that were her everyday portion and which until now had seemed to her veritable things of de light cheated herself out of all that meant so much to other women? Had she really been fair to herself In sicri- firing so much for her child?” The car pulled up with a Jerk. She alighted quickly and made her way toward Harwell’s. Suddenly she stopped .short. A sign overhead canght her eye: “Be fair to yourself—buy your millinery at Madam Courteau’*.” Then her gaze traveled to the window with Its'array of tempting millinery. And as she gazed her breath began to come quickly, her hands to open and close with nervous, twitching movements. For a little hat In a dull shade of blue caught her eye. She was gazing at it fascinated, for as the sun outshines the stars, so to Ellen did this particular hat eclipse all the others In the window. Somehow, It seemed to her at that moment as If sbe had been wanting a hat like that all her life. The little pink rosebuds that ncelled around the crown seemed to call and beckon to her, and almost before she realized what she was do ing she was inside the store and ask ing to see the hat. The saleslady, with all the art that was hers, placed ■it with a skillful touch on Ellen’s head. And as Ellen looked in the great mirror she saw a face that was flushed to a rose-pink with excitement, and above It the much-wanted hat, which seemed to be a very part of her self, so thoroughly becoming It was. She wanted the hat so bad! The soft, lovely colors brought out all the charm of her fair loveliness and she thought ,how much John would like to see her as she looked now. The thought of her husband brought another j thought to her, | too. Perhaps all j these years, while I they had been sacrificing and skimping, he, too, had wished for | and wanted many things.

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 her. -- And now she had talked John into letting her buy the big doll that had been In Harwell’s window since the holiday season opened. John had tried to tell her that the *mall 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 .wenty dollars Was a big sum to spend for a doll, but Betty was Betty and deserved it. For the Warners were poor—cot poor In the utter, abject poverty that flaunts its face to the world un shamed—but poor in the poverty that means worn and threadbare carpets, clothing grown thin and shiny from long usage, and a careful pausing be fore the spending of an unnecessary penny. Somehow, since Betty came they had never been able'to get ahead; there was always something needed had. She re membered now how longingly he had I often looked toward the golf links —what a big thing It would be if Christmas would bring him the things necessary to play the game. The city maintained a free course not far from their home. And if she wanted so badly to spend twenty dollars for a hat, surely John, who was seeing and hearing things every day, must often have wanted something pretty badly, too. She thought now how wonderful he had always been—never a word of complaint, but always cheery and happy. She realized now, with a bit ter feeling at her heart, that she had not been fair to him—she had given their child more than her share of the little they had. But from now on things were going to be different— John must have the best Betty had many years ahead to enjoy things, and besides she realized now It did not take expensive gif ts to please children. With hands that trembled Ellen reached up and took the hat from her head and, not daring £o look at It again, hurriedly left the store. That Christmas waa a very happy one for the Warners. For, although Betty did not get the big doll, she seemed just as pleased and happy aa a child could well be. And Ellen felt a new glow at her heart when she presented John with his Christmas gift, for he was as jubilant as a boy about it. Her sacrifice had been in-! deed worth while—what did a becom- J ing hat matter when put beside the happiness she felt just now? But the good Christmas fairy must have been watching all, for an hour | Inter John’s boss called up to wish ! for Betty and she had always gotten it. him a merry Christmas and to tell him ] Next morning Ellen left the house early, with the wonderful twenty dol lars In her purse. Betty had been left next door, all qnconscious 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 ' that Old Mhn Jiusou was going to resign and that John would have his place. A wonderful Christmas sur prise It was, for It meant an extra' five hundred a year to the Warners. Which made it probable that Ellen got her much-wan ted hat, after all. (©■ 192S. Western Newspaper Union.) those who possessed little of material things. Scraps of their conversation j came to Ellen at times through the { maze of her busy thoughts. “I think it’s perfectly awful, I do,” one of them was saying, “the way some women do. It’s really sinful In these days to be dowdy. A woman’s got to wear good clothes to be any body, and believe me, it’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 has got to dress nowadays or get nothing out of life.” The words sank Into Ellen’s brain as her eyes were scanning an adver tisement at a crossing; “I’ • fair to yourself, buy your millinery .. Madam Courteau’s.” And as other wordc of that Uk floated back from tha women they began to stir up a queer feeling ’aside of Ellen Warner. THE MISTLETOE MISTLETOE is needed if the heart Is in the right place,” people say. But neither Is there any real need for a Christmas tree, a special Christ mas dinner, a worn-out feeling from doing too much around the Christmas season. There is no actual need of all this Yet if it were not for all these there would be less happiness and more and more happiness Is al ways needed. So do not discard the mistle toe. There may be love without It, but it lends a romance, a charm of its own that no heart can dispense with.—Mary Gra ham Bonner. (ft mi. WeatM-s tfewapapar Ur’on.) 2 : •? \ v GIFTS f4 ~T » .
