T hey had
(
been doing their
Chri.stmas shopping together,
and stood with burdened arms wait
ing to board a street car for home.
Again and again they joined the line
up of would-be passengers only to
see the car move off without them.
“Look here, Mrs. Yourtg. I think
we’re crazy to try to get home in
this crush,” said plump Mrs. Older.
'^‘Let us go to the Purple Tea-room
and have dinner and rest tiU the
crowd thins out a bit.”
“Oh, I couldn’t do that,” almost
waUed pretty Uttle Mrs. Young. “I
simply must get home. Teddy would
be so annoyed if he got home and
found me out and dinner ready.”
“But you could phbne from the
tae-room,” said Mrs. Older.
“Teddy wouldn’t like it,” objected
Mrs. Young. “He would say I
shouldn’t have stayed shopping to
late.”
“What nonsense,” scoffed Mrf. Ol
der, with the Ucense of an old friend.
But Mrs. Young was firm. She
was going to get home before Teddy
if it were at all possible.
However, after a few more in
effectual attempts to board a car,
during one of which she spiUed her
parcels on the pavement, Mrs. Young
reluctantly accompanied the hol>
bling Mrs. Older around the corfier
to the Purple Tea-room.
Under the speU of the purple-and-.
gold shaded lights, the two weary
women ordered substantial dinners.
Mrs. Young’s body relaxed into
ease, but her mind did not. She
ought to be at home. She wanted
to be at home. Home was the place
for married women at meal-time.
“Teddy and 1 promised each oth
er adien we were married that we’d
never eat dinner apart if we could
possibly avoid it,” she murmured.
“I hate ,to be the first to break diat
promise—I know Teddy wouldn’t.”
“WeU, six months is quite long
enough to keep a promise like that,”
asserted Mrs. Older. You might just

Indigesttoa May Be Caused By
Nervoasaess
Nervous indigestion is a wide
spread Ameiican plague, and there
has always seemed to be a question
as to whether the indigestion is caus
ed by nervousness or the nervous
ness is caused by indigestiem. Very
frequently digestive upsets can be
directly traced to undue nervousness
and emotional outbursts. The ill ef
fects of family arguments at the din
ner table, of carrying a business dis-
agreemmit home instead of leaving
it at the office, of concentrating on
the troubles that may present them
selves tomorrow rather than on the
pleasantness of a family meaL will
be evidenced long after the subject
has been forgotten.
Digestion is a very complicated
process and the right way of eating
is as important to the mtaintenance
of natural health as the eating of the
right kind of food. Mental disturb
ances have a very marked effect on
the functions of the digestive system,
through the aaediiim of the nervous
tjsMm. In otbw words, the process
of digestion is Considerably influenc
ed Iqr the state of the mind.
Make your meal time a pleasant
and relaxing pndod in your day.
When the fam^ assembles for din
ner, arrange to spend that hour »-
joying your food and indulging in
li^t and dieerful conversation.
There is a time and a place for you
td scold Junior because he didn’t put
his playthings away, for discussing
your financial worries, or for show
ing your displeasure with world pol
itics. The dinner table, however, is
neither the time nor the place for
any d tiieoe things. If you will keep
your *mind and conversation sweet,
you wlU be ip far less danger of de-
veldplBg 1 siuf stomach.

But Mrs. Young couldn’t smile or
even pretend an enjoyment she
didn’t feel. She wanted to be at
home preparing a cozy welcome for
Teddy. Just at her most homesick
and contrite moment, she raised her
misty eyes to the wall opposite and
read on a Uttle framed card—“If
you want a taxi caU Main 0000.”
She rose to her feet, the Ught of
decision flashing across her face.
“I’m going to ring for a taxi to
take me home,” she said.
“Don’t be foolish,” admonished
the ratiier disgusted Mrs. Older.
“A taxi will cost you quite a bit
and. you said you were broke.” '
“I stiU have that $10 biU Teddy
gave me to buy a (Christmas present
for myself. I’U use some of that—
and I can yet be home in time to
get dinner.”
Mrs. Young gathered up her nu
merous parcels and on her way out
she met a waitress carrying in her
dinner. As she stopped to take her
check off the tray she noted hun
grily what an unusually attractive
meal it was. ^
In an smaazingly short time the
summoned taxi whirled her home
without notable incident—except the
smarii-up that occurred in the $10
bffl when it came into collision with
the taxi fare. Mrs! Young found tiiat
^ had just 25 minutes to the good,
and she did a meal-marathon that
broke aU records.
At the exact minute of Teddy’s
usual arrival she was ready for
him with a smile on her face. And
just then the phone bell rang. She
could hardly b^eve her ears when
she heard Teddy telling her over
the wires that he would not be
home to dinner.
“Go right ahead and have your
own dinn^, dearie,” Teddy said,
and his voice didn't sound a bit re
gretful. “I've had an extra hart
day, and I don’t feel like standin;.
all the way home, as I know 1
would have to do if I got on a car
at this hour. OMer and I are goini;
to drop into the Purple Tea-room foi
dinner. By-by, dearie.” ^

Ckristwuu Gifts
The enstom of exchanging gifts
and enjoying merry times daring
the winter holidays springs from
heathen antiquity. During gay cele-
brations the Remans gave gifts. This
custom was centianed daring tim ap>

heathen significance was dropped
and the i^fts became known as
Christmas presents. On New Tear’s
