West Main Street Phone 515 By CARLE FREEMAN 'T'HE little gift shop was crowded * when Nancy entered it, but al most immediately she noticed Larry Bryant. She sensed the usual disturbance at sight of him, and recalling the trend of her thoughts for the past several minutes brought a flush of warmth to her checks She’d been thinking, somewhat re sentfully, as she went along the busy streets of the little town, how unfair it was that Christmas had come before she could get acquaint ed with someone in Davenshire— Larry. Bryant, for instance, de partmental head at the electric plant where she worked. Christmas wasn’t Christmas unless it could be shared with someone. And now Larry was standing at the dish counter deciding about a pair of little green rabbit salt and pepper shakers. It didn’t matter particularly that he’d buy the shakers—aside from the Signifi cance of such an act—but she’d had her own heart set on them more or less for a week. Larry had been in the shop every afternoon that she'd been there, but this was his first time at the dish counter. The little shakers were as good as gone. The other day when ?he’d looked at them, the sales girl had said, “Better buy them. These are the last ones, and they are a bargain at eight dollars. They came all the way from Sweden.” “I know—” Nancy had said, but she had thought they’d be an ex travagance and look out of place on the little table in her corner -I i I Wc sincerely appreciate YOUR PATRONAGE AND GOOD WILL AND TAKE THIS OPPOR* unity to express our GRATITUDE by saying . • » A fterNf CkjjUttnaA Clinton Music Shop v 'Front of Dell’s Beauty Shoppe WE WANT 1 TO SAY MANY TIMES We ore grateful for each opporhjnity to serve you and feel privileged indeed every time yc i call on us.

The other day when she’d looked at them, the sales girt had said, “Better buy them.”' kitchenette at Lil Ransom’s old rooming house. Then there’d be no one to admire them—only herself. “They might be gone the next time you come*” the girl had said when Nancy left the counter. But they’d been there the next time Nancy went back to the little gift shop. Every afternoon lor a week they’d been there, as if awaiting for her to make up her mind to buy them. Nancy held her breath as she watched Larry from a distance. For now she knew that if he didn’t take the shakers, she’d buy them her self. But even as Nancy watched, she saw him hand the shakers to a clerk. She tried to push her disappoint ment aside and select an inexpen sive little gift for one of her co workers at the plant. Tomorrow was Christmas Eve, and the em ployees and officials of the plant had drawn names as part of a gift-giving program they’d planned to have about the huge, gayly dec orated tree in the arched entrance. Nancy dreaded the occasion, more so now than before. She re gretted the day she’d left her home town to take a better job in Daven- •hire. Why hadn’t she waited until after Christmas to make the change! When the time came the next day for the program. Nancy took the gift that was handed to her and slipped from the crowd. She wouldn’t be missed, she thought bitterly, as she hurried from the building. Snow fell softly about her in a gentle burst from the dark sky. and the ring of voices from the plant followed her in a kind of haunting, sad beauty. Inside her apartment she looked down at the gayly wrapped package in her hands through a blur of tears. It was the only Christmas gift she’d receive, and it had been given only because someone had drawn her name. She unwrapped the package, and 1 suddenly the blur cleared to reveal the little green rabbit salt and pepper shakers with the long, saucy ears—one up and one limping down provocatively. Her heart thrummed in her throat. Larry had drawn her name. But the cost of the gifts they were to exchange was not to go over twenty-five cental Lil Ransom called up the stairs. "You’re wanted on the phone, and ’tis a man.” Nancy placed the little shakers carefully on the table and turned to the door. The hum of "Silent Night" came from Lil Ransom’s radio up the sweep of stairs, and Nancy found herself singing the words softly as she dashed down them, for she knew even before she heard his voice who was waiting for her on the telephone. !
