Kothcnn* MARIAN turned slowly from where she had been surveying herself for a critical moment, and looked across the room at her twin sister. "I'm so tired of all this Christmas fuss/' she said languidly; "it is all so old-fashioned, so outdated." "Are you expressing my feelings?" Nadine's voice was even more languid; "but how in the world are we going to make our dear family feel as we do about the matter7 You know they are already in the throes of Christmas preparations." She threw out her slender hands in a gesture of infinite boredom as she finished. "We can let them know that we won't be a part of the silly business ?we can serve notice on them that we are going to work against all the' noise and fuss that is made about Christmas." Forgetting their pose of boredom and sophistication for a moment, the "ontoaw . y#?nr old twins Jumped excitedly around the room. "Just think of how they will be shocked 1" Marian cried; "I can see mother and dad. It is all going to be so exciting?fighting the world, so to speak." But they were taken back quite a little when they announced their big news . . . mother's voice was very serious. "If you really feel that way, I guess the rest of us will have to celebrate without you. We're going to miss you a lot, of course, but we must consider your feelings." The twins failed to see the twinkle in her eyes as she looked across the table at dad. As if to make matters worse. Bill and Dick laughed in derision at their plan. "I bet they'll be on their knees to get in on our fun be "I'm Going to Do Like Everybody Else/' She Said. fore Christmas," Bill predicted. And as if that were not enough, he suggested that now there would be nothing to buy for the twins, maybe he could have the moving picture outfit he had waited so long. "I hope you don't change your mjnd, sweet sisters," he cautioned, as he proceeded to put a huge piece of pie in his mouth. "I do want that picture machine pretty bad." The twins threw scornful glances in his direction; they couldn't trust themselves to speak. There were things they had forgotten when they made their big resolve to do away with Christmas preparations. As soon as dinner was over, they hurried from the table. The days that followed were not very happy. The twins could find no one interested in their plan to change the way of keeping Christmas. Even the most modern of their friends laughed them to scorn. No one was really interested in advancement, they decided. Here they were willing and eager to get a new crusade started, one that would save time and temper and money, and no one, not even their best friends, would lend a hand. They grew fretful, impatient, even peeved at each other. One evening Nadine came home and found Marian in their mother's bedroom, peering into some boxes that had just been delivered. Nadine smiled to herself, and hurried from the doorway so Marian would not see her. But next day in the toy department of Smith's store, things came to a showdown. The twins ran into each other, found themselves side by side clutching for foolish things that lay on the counter. Brown eyes challenged blue as the/ stood in the crowded aisle. Guilt showed plainly on both faces. Then Nadine was speaking, quickly, incoherently: "You might as well know, Marian, I'm chucking your silly plan. I'm going to do like everybody else. I'm going to make a big fuss about Christmas. I want to push through the crowds?to buy foolish things?to hang up holly wreaths?to?to do ^ust everything! . . . And if I'm not mistaken, you're just dying to do the same?" "You're absolutely right," Marian answered, utterly careless of | the amused glances thrown in their direction. "We've been a pair of: fools, but we're going to have one ; grand and glorious time in the two! days thjit are left . . . We're going to make the biggest fuss about Christmas that has ever been made before.V T".,; * i Lu!:c'c ??ylstmc.3 Mnrtho B.Thoin,# ir;;'t^l w- -'- - ijfygSHSBPffi> i*flVa LITTLE LUfcE, watching hi* father splice rope, was suddenly struck with an idea. "It's just?one strami after another, isn't it dad?" J'Yes. just one strand after another that mukes the rope thatfrltofds the shiP* u'* thf tway most'things are accomplished, boy, when you come to think of it. A cold wind blew around the fish shed back of the wharves. Other men were busy, too, tying snoodknots on trawls, hoping a good day would cornp for fishing tomorrow. Luke walked away and up. the hill. Christmas coming in a weekl He knew his father and mother had been busy planning something for his happiness then. But what had . he done? Nothing at all. He stood stock still, his thoughts all mixed up in a queer way, with the strands of rope that made the line, the hundreds of snood-knots the fishermen were tying. "Just one thing done, and then another to^ make the whole," he reflected. Then, walking slowly again he seemed to see two one-dollar bills folded away in his pocket-book. And trailing back from the money a row of different pictures of himself, working hard to earn those two dollars. Planting seed potatoes in the spring, hoeing them, weeding in the hot sun, even watering hl? owr. p.ci when the weather was dry. Then, in the fall digging them up. Selling them ... for two dollars. One bit of work after another. What next? He took more steps. Money was earned by the work of one person to buy something which vttas the work of another. Luke smiled. He knew "what next," very well indeed. So, on Christmas morning, though Luke was delighted with his own gifts, he had an almost dizzy pleasure in watching his father and mother unwrap a pair of bedroom slippers and an apron he had given them. "My potato money!" he shrieked. "I got it by doing one thing after another . . . Just the way the rope grows, strand after strand." Luke's father looked puzzled, but his mother kissed him and said "Merry Christmas, dear!" ? Western Newspaper Union. | The | | Mistletoe Hunt | 1|| By FRANCES GRINSTEAD j~ "Bye-O Baby Bunting. Daddy's gone a*hunting!" WHEN the mothers of young children in the east Oklahoma countryside sing this nursery song to their little ones they may out of loyalty to Mother Goose add the next two lines: Tor to find a rabbit akin. To wrap the Baby Bunting in. But that isn't exactly what daddy does down there. When it comes the time of year that the baby needs ~ warmer covering, daddy takes his gun and goes out to shoot down mistletoe! This he sells for the Christmas trade and buys Baby Bunting a different kind of raiment. For mistletoe, with its wellknown holiday meaning, grows in abundance there arid is always found high among the bare winter branches of the native elm. Little boys climb for it, of course, but the quickest way to gather it for commercial use is to shoot it down. "Open season ' for mistletoe hunting begins about the last of November and the demand increases steadily until Cliris.mas. Truck loads of the green sprigs with their wax-white berries are driven to the cities of the north for the holiday trade. As the mistletoe is not always uniformly ripe at the time it is wanted, much "hunting" is required to find sprigs whose berries are at a stage to suit the demands of the buyers. At such times the roadsides may be strewn with discarded mistletoe, for the condition of the berries cannot be seen until the sprig has been shot down. But such waste is not lamented, for mistletoe is a parasite that reappears in abundance each year, however ruthlessly it may be treated. ?

The selfish sway of the world is broken at least for < a time, and the Christ spirit is ! born in our hearts, Sometimes the exchange of piMteents la car; ried too far apd becomes ' a burden instead of a pleasure; but ! anything that makes the world unselfish is beautiful and good.
