“Good gracious

“ThaPs because you were so inter;

her Bu«bby, mended glove* and her

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

that ncelled around the crown seemed
to call and beckon to her, and almost

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

-- 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

for a doll, but Betty was Betty and

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 |

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

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

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
