them gifts without any particular
value, any little trIAes such ns they
gave us. But that isn’t possible now’,

As If to render homage to that sum
she had Involuntarily raised her voice.
The Julllns, whose fortune dated hack
only a few months, were the Mour-
lines’ best friends, Jullln nnd Mour-
line, fellow students at law school and
afterward employees In the same gov

Mme. Mourline trembled with anger.
She seized the bonhonnlere and dashed
It to pieces on the marble hearth.

M. Mourline made an Ironic gesture.
“Meanwhile they have your jardln-

n.urrled .uint Sophia. .
“Time to start for the theater?”
Violet's father exclaimed In amnze-
ment wheft he saw Rlmard. “Well,
we’d better get nur things on. too.”
It seemed that not only youth was
going to {.he musical comedy. But
Aunt Sophia was not going. She had
not thought to get herself a ticket, and
apparently no one had thought for her.
Aunt Maud was going with her hus
band. The young cousins were going
with their beaux. Mrs. Martin with
Mr. Martin. And Violet was going
with Dick.
Aunt Sophia until this minute had
not realized how lonely a Christinas
night she had ln store, for herself at
home in her tiny apartment. . She
stood ndw, gazing about almost like
a child afraid of sudden loneliness.
But no one noticed the look, nnd
Sophia had never meant they" stiould.
Oh, yes. Someone had noticed. Vio

“Poor people,” murmured Mme. Jul-

this! Isn’t It pitiful. In their situa

CHRISTMAS CANDLES
It Is a pleasant custom, when the
f*hrl*tmas tree Is lighted and Its many
candles fall to give all the needed
cheer, to light a candle from Its fires
nnd give the talle" candles on the*
shelf nnd on the table a share in Jhe
happy Illumination.—C. (!. Hazard.
