THE CUWTQli
riE HAPPY—AT
CHRISTMAS TIME
I F IT wpp* possible, the Reedel*
would her* been unhappy, becmnee
of the many reverses of the peat
year; a great loss by Are, aicknea**
too; and hospital bills, and many af
the misfortunes that come in a life
time seemed to hare come to them the
past year. To peep In on them, «*
•Ten to hare listened to, would hnee
convinced any recluse that happiness
was permeating the very atmosphere
ef that home.
“Now, James.’* began Mrs. Randal*
who difto't mtemble one /vbo takes
the “daily doaen” but proved the say
ing, “Laugh and the world laughs
with you,” “I have laughed at Marta’s
letter until lam sick. All their money,
yet she aays she can’t have a happy
Christmas because of our many re
verses, and that they wouldn’t think
of having any one in, and for us not
to be too lonely. Well, well, that anrs-
!y Is funny—us ndt be too lonely l**
lira. Randal burst out laughing again.
“Weil, Rose, quit your laughing and
read that letter, or tell It to me."
“Oh, James, to think of htc. being
no unhappy over our loss when we
don’t even think about It. Shd always
sees the ’Slough of Despond*; no
wonder she’s so skinny. Worrying
shout ns! Jim. we’ve never had n
happier Christmas. None of ns has
died yet; we still have our garage
to live in. Christmas Is Christmas
whether our pocketbook be fat ev
lean.’’
“Yes. Rose, hut Christmas doesn’t
seem to be the same to the flat and
lean. Judging from your laugh and
Marta’s sadness.**
“Say. James, let’s have them down
for Christmas and show them what ft
wonderful time people can have living
In their garage. v We can put them
overhead In the servants’ quarters-
have to make use of It in some *ay,
for we may never be able to afford
another maid”
“Hop to It. dear. Toe always do
the proper stunt at the right time. I
think we shall enjoy It. as you seem
to enjoy the thought of It."
Mrs. Randal continued to laugh,
and as Marta was leaving, she. too,
laughed and said: “Well. Rose, laugh
ing is crftching; happiness, too, I sup
pose. I think we shall live In our
garage next year—not nearly so much
work, and truly—I*ve never had a
better time. Surely a Merry Christ
mas we’ve had and we wish for you
and James—well, you’ll be happy and
think yon are prosperous whether you
are or not, so all I can say to you to—
good-by.—Emily Burks Adams.

CHRISTMAS CARDS
/CHRISTMAS cards have be-
4 come a nightmare for many
people, hut it Is the misuse and
not the use of ;hem that should
be deplored.
A Christmas card today, as al
ways, is. or should be, a har
binger of love. If It Is not, the
fault Is with us. and not with
the card. A card should a!ways
be a message of friendship, not
a perfunctory duty. In a busy
world it is a convenient, delight
ful way in which to remember
one’s friends; as such, it has
come to stay.
May we respect this time-hon
ored institution and may it serve
us as our winged messenger,
rather than enslave us as an un
pleasant or pretended duty.—H.
Lucius Cook.

SAD, BUT TRUE
Teacher—Wtttle, why to everyone
happy at Chriatmas'time?
Willie—Well my father’s happy he-
business is so good.

Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews, who-startled the
world at few yeark ago by discovering a nest of
dinosaur eggs ten million years old, arrived in
New York on November 9th from his Third
Asiatic Expedition under the auspices of the
American Museum of Natural History.
• _ L ,

Again he attributes much of the success of his
expedition to the astounding performance of his
five Dodge Brothers Motor Cars. “ v
Following is a direct quotation from an official
statement by Dr. Andrews upon his return to
America:
- - - . 9 » <
The Gobi Desert in Mongolia is the most
extensive undeveloped and unexplored re
gion now left in the world. Until a few
years ago it was retarded by the impossibly
slow traffic of camel trains, the only means
of communication.
*’ * —
But now it is being crisscrossed in every •
diifgttan by litotdr cars, or, fume cofrectfy
by one motor car, the Dodge. Sixty or
seventy Dodge Brothers ^ars are making
regular trips far ipto the interior of this vast
waste, bringing out loads of sables, precious
furs, wool and other products. #
No other car except the Dodge is found there
because we have tried it out on each of our
three expeditions and have had it demon
strated to our satisfaction that ike Dodge
is the only car that will stand up under the
strain of the roadless desert and do every-
thing we asfi cf £‘.

Few people have occasion to subject their motor
cars to punishment of this severity. It is reassur
