Let uf robe ourselves in the sun ny gladness of a hope so bright— the hope that defies death, and reaches across all the breadth of graves, and clasps the hand of an immortal friend, and says through any hour of sorrow, “It doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall ap- ir, we ahall be like HiqC._*t::* sleeping, we are the Lord’s; and while it thus chants its faith, hears, arising slow and sweet, and with an olden pathos, out of the deeps of ancient days, the quenchless fa th of a twilight child of God: “I know that my Redeemer liveth: . . . and though after my mortal death worms destroy this body, ye in tfty flesh shall I see God.**—tBcv.

There Is a t^e of solemn and sacred feeling that blends with our conviviality, and lifts the spirit to a state of hal lowed and elevated enjoyment.— Washington Irving. - ' Believed Holly Used in Church Would Bring Luck Let Us Serve You Have Anti-Freeze put in your radj ator — it wiU save you trouble and save you money. H olly,‘with its brlUlant red ber ries and rich green leaves Is an accepted Chrlstm.ss decoration, not just because It Is an attractive and cheerful plant, but because In the early days It was thought to be “hateful to witches” and therefore offered protec tion against them, says an article in the Washington Post. Later It was used as a'' reminder of the qrown of thorns Christy wore, the scarlet ber ries representing the blood he shed. The superstition then jlrew that if one could obtain a piece of holly which had been used In a church It would bring good luck all year and would protect against lightning.

Sally stood ul j ME the window and surveyed | M the drt|)()iiig trees, the soggy j road. A gray fog lay ui>on the hills; the sky was the) eoUtr of gijti metal. j “1 wouldn’t rare about | any old weather," thought i Sally dismally, “If Uric were here. Of i eourse I understand that he had to go I to town to meet his euusin Lena. He couldn’t dwenily do an.vlhtiig-els«i, hut • this is our tirst t'hristiuus together ' . . . and It’s sort of lone.some out here J In the country." Sally was twenty-three. She and Kric had been married a little less than a year. For months they had s|»eeu- latcd on the best way to spend Christ- Jiiss together. At first they had de cided to go to New York, only 4d | miles away, have dinner, go to the j theater and then some evithig night club. But gradu ally they discov ered that they were Bot as interested In celebrating the holiday in this manner; Sally and j Erie had been to plenty of «linners. | plenty of dances i and plenty of night I clubs. . They were | a bit fed up. After considerable argu ment and trying to find out whut the j other really want ed, they came to the grand conclu slon that they would get a thrill out of Christmas at home In their little house in the coun try. “.No party," said Eric. -No guests.'' chimed in Sally. “Nothing ,.. but Christmas and us!" They had shaken hands solemidv on this. They had talked over the dinner, whhh Sally was to prepare herself (the maid having begged to be lei «)fr fo go Of) her family for the day). They hud decided on the kind of Christmas tree they wanted; Eric had gone oui two days ago and chopi>ed It down. They had trimmeil It with the glitter of make-believe Icicles and silver-blue lights. They had shopi»ed furiously, buying quantities of Jokes and lilly presents. Tliese two young things, very much in love and full of zest and Ideas, swept away the more obvious entertainments In one gesture. They were as excited as children. Then at 2:()0 o’ch*ck of the after Boon the day before Christmas, while Eric was chuckling to himself over some ridiculous gift he was wrujiplng up for Sally, the telephone rang. Eric talked very hurriedly into the trmamitter. And In a low tone .Sallv ctejid hardly hear w hat he sakl. When b« beng np the rec'elver he announced ebar he mast leave for town at once. "But whyF asked Sally. “WelL“ be hesitated, “you see I’ve got to meet Lena. Sh^’a Just come." -I.ena! W’ho In the world Is sheT" Sally's voice became a bit edgy. -Oh. er . . . a sort of cousin. Ter rlbly sorry, old girl. I’ll tear over Uf the bazz-bnggy and be back In no tln»e." ^ So, be had gone. And the trees dripped. And the aky grew dark. And .^lly cried a little and decided this ever .spent.. , She tried to rememhef if she htui ever heard Erie sileak ' of Lena he [ fore. "A wretched inline,” she siihl ' ahtud, "und prolnildy a perfect nll-wli ! of M girl. One of liLs odious relatives. She waited and waited. Christina.'- eve was going t<» he s|iolled. She could tell that. Why hadn’f tliey gone fo New York like everyone else? Then this Lena jiest would never have roped In Eric. .\t rc.’UI the telephone Jingled. Sally flew to answer It. “Sally, darling I'ni a hit delayed. Just called U|i to tell you not to worry.

How dare In spoil their cherished Christnias hj bringing home a stranger? How cruel . . luiw thoughtless! At tpiarter jaist seven she heard the car nish Into the drive before the 11 er would have William for tiu'lr kiiTg. Their “yea,” uttered in a hoarse roar, made the Normans fear tliat they were about to kill Wiliiam. and they drew their swords and attneked.
