of Jisnuary, 1942, I will render a fi*-

Ilarionetta, behind the counters of
the flve-and-ten, peered into one of
the little tencent mirrors it was her

Marionette was crying because

ooetta insisted ffiat he was too little
yet to know about Santa dans. She
had gone arithout her lunch for days
and days and saved her nickels and,
dimes to buy the'filings Jimmy
aranted.
That very morning she had started
out to arork, her precious savings
tucked aamy in her purse, her heart
all but singing out lo^.
Then, when she got off the car,
someone in the motley crowd bumped
her elbow and her pursearas knocked
from her hand. Markmetta dived tor

Ann Carton climbed quickly
down off the small step|Udder she
was using to hang the glittering an-
^ on the' topmost bough of the
Qiristmas tree. The sharp clang
of the doorbell anm a welcome
sound. Hastening joyously she fiimg
the door aride open.
"For me? Cmne in, Tfanmy." She
smiled down at the ^sixened old
hundiback shivering 1m the door

the bright tinsel bows. She knew
adthmit looking arhat the box con

seals she seemed again to hear Jer

They had gone to a dance that
memorable Christmas eve and
homeward through the whitening
mist she had trM, bravely, to teU
him she must marry another man.
A frantic Jerry pleading and a
strange new ache at her heart, she
had stood for a moment on the run-

time and when she straightened up
a small, flying figure was crossing
the street. T^t was why her feet
lagged on her homeward way.
Her hand on the door of the base
ment flat, at the dirty tenement
house where she lived, she noticed
a big automobile drawing up at the
curb, and an elegantly dressed lady
slumming. Showing off! She turned
her back on the pictuzw, flung open
the door and stepped iiiside.
"Hello, Sis." Jimmy looked up
brightly. "Tonight’s the night!"
Markmetta looked dully at her
mother.
"I lost my purse," she said tone-
lessly. "Some kid snatched it thia
morning. It looked just like that
McCurty kid that comes here to play
with Jimmy so much but he.ran so
fast X couldn’t be sure."
"Don’t cry, honey," her mother
said. "We’ll, make out, somefapw."
There was^'knock. Mrs. Clancy
went to the door and q;>ened it. There
stood the lady of the big automobile,
her arms piM high with packages.
"Xs this where Jixzuny Clancy
lives?"
"Yes, ma’am.’’ Mrs. Cfiancy
stepped badt. "Won’t you come in?"
The lady stepped inside. Sie kept
smUiag it Jimmy, whose eyes werd
wide and bri^i.
. "I met Santa Claus, down the
street this afternoon, Jimmy," she
said, "and he asked ff I ^uld bring
these things to you. He said he
was going to be very busy tonight"
Jfanmy was feveririily tearing at
the pac^ges, whidi the lady had
dr^i^ed into a big chair beside him.
As hfai heart’s desires emerged from
their tinsel wrappings Jimmy shout
ed with delight
Under cover* of the * excitement
Marionetta drew near the pretty
lady and whispered:
^ "TaUmeJbuw you knew-about Jim-
my?’‘ '
"Why, my dear, it’s such a strange
story! This morning I saw a little
boy snatch a purse that smneone
dropped, and when he ran away X
had my diauffeur follow him and
bring back to me. He told me
he wanted to keep the money to buy
ssase toys for a little crippled fi^d
whose folks were-too p^ to buy
filings for him.|I promised him X’d
play Santa Claus to Jimmy if he’d
promise me to wait on that comer
fof the girl who dropped the purse,
bvery morning at w same hour,
until he found her and gave it back
to- bar."
"Why," cried Marionetta, "did you
ever hear anything so like a fairy
tale? That was my purse, and it
really was Jerry McCiuty, nmtheri
There was sudi a crowd be couldn’t

The lady laughed. Then iif thdt

ages as to delay completitm of caUs
necessary to the war program.
Efo asked all persons contemplating
exdianging gratings by long dis
tance telephone to place their calls
some time other than Christmas day
and New Year’s day as a contribution
toward America’s preparatkms.
In making his appeal, Mr. Mc
Cullough said, "Lcmg distancs fa
cilities have b^ crowded with calls
ever since the United States was at
tacked on Decemlier 7.
"Government long distance tele
phone requirements, both military
and civil, have increased sharply. In
dustrial plants, stepping up the
tempo of production, have started us
ing long distance in an ever-increas
ing volume.
“In additiem, news services of es
sential and semi-essential nature
have found it necessary to increase
their use of long distance. Long dis
tance lines also are used to link the
stations of the radio networks.''On
top of this, the heavy volume of ci-
vilikn calls which we had already
anticipated shows signs of increas-
ing^lteyond the capacity of dur facili
ties, lde||gite our all-out preparation
of the past months. Unless there is
a sharp^reduction in volume of non-
essential lont distance calls on
Christmas and New Year’s day, there
mi^t certainly be delays on essen
tial calls.
"None of us wants that to happen,
so we appeal to you not to place calls

I’ll love you always—always I"
He had touched with reverent
clumsy fingers the single crimson
rose ihe was wearing on the soft
black fur of her evenfaig wrap. The
touch seemed to ^e 1^ an idea.
Jerry was romantic and they were
both so, young. "No matter i^erev-

"I’ll send you red roses at Christ

"If ever," he had added, crush

"ff ever X feel I can live without

' Her letters, pleading and un

around the earfii gathering curious
postmarks, undeciidiera^, but
eventually they had returned, tat

But they had come. From strange
lands in far odd comers they had
come, those orders to old Timmy the
florist for the red, red roses as red
as her own heart’s blood that now
beat so chokingly in her throat.
And she would wait, wait forever if
