T WAS Chrtetmat Eve—quite
the most glorious Christmas
Eve Virginia Hay had ever
known. Everything was
ready for the parly—her
party—from the “Merry Christmas”
place-cards to the splendid Christmas
tree that would be ablaze all evening
with little lights and colors. .
Virginia pinned tyie last red stock-
' Ing to the mantel, and turned to her
mother. “I think It was real mean
of George nof to offer, to.play Santa
Claus for me,” she said, “After his
having such a nice costurhe, too.”
“Hut, dean? her mother answered.
"How could he when you quarreled?
I didn't know you had invited him.”
“I didn’t, but of course 1 would
have, if he had been Just the least bit
nice,” Virginia pouted, and hurried
off to get ready to receive her guests.
Her mother, busy with last-minute de
rails, smiled in what might have
been reminiscence
of her-own youth.
A few minutes
laternrfte went to
the phbiy?, held a
brief conversation,
and as she hung
up the receiver
she called up the
stairs : "Hurry,
dear. I do believe
some of your
guests are com
ing.”
'Til be right
down." Virginia's
voice preceded Its
owner by only a
second. “Do I look
all right, mother?”
“All right," said Mrs. Hay's voice,
and her eyes said, "lively,” and tier
heart said, “My own darling!"
Virginia, responding to an urgent
bur-lnggg! admitted her earliest
guests. Half an hour later, when the
rooms were filled with merry, chat
tering young people, the orchestra

of the floor, but Virginia did not dance
the first number—she had not Invited
George. Neither had she Invited, aa
her partner, anyont else.
That dance waa over, and another,
and another. The Christmas tree waa
admired; the mistletoe waa found,
and pnt to Its proper use; occasional
silences made clear the distant sound
of carolers; the clock struck ten—
eleven—twelve.
At that moment the guests were
surprised (and so was Virginia) by
the sound of slelghhella, a hearty
“Merry Chrlatmaa.” and the appear
ance. from somewhere near the tree.
. of as Jolly a Santa as one roald Im
agine. Near beside him stood Mrs.
Hsy.
"Why, Mr. Simla Claus. I do be
lieve," mid then she presented him to
the company. "Sly
old childhood
friend. Mr. Sonla
Claus, has come
to pay ua a visit,
and as he Is all
loaded down with
Ms various gifts,
which must be de
livered by tomor
row morning. I
suggest that he
give any of us
who are to receive
Ms attentions, our
presents now.”
"I didn't know,
Virginia." said

The Williston high school put on a

Friday night. “The Dust of the

Miss Yarn is a teacher of Williston.
In Tetum the Dunbarton high school
will put on a play at Williston in the
near future.
There arn a great many more ad
vantages at a high school than at a
rural school. I like an accredited high
school best.

right,” he laughed, “you needn't bite
niy head off.”
Tbe favors distributed, Mrs. Ray
called Virginia. “Here, dear, you and
Santa lead tbe grand march. If you
will all follow, I think we might find
some refreshments In another room.”
“RightoI” said Santa, lu a decided
ly unfrigld voice. Somehow, Santa
knew Just where to go. But then, of
course, Santa Claus knows everything.
He e+en knew, a few moments later,
when Virginia exenged herself from
the party, and slipped back to the
other room, now in a state of partial
disarrtiy, and (for even the orchestra
members were enjoying the repast In
the other room) forlorn in its empti
ness. Virginia was feeling particu
larly forlorn and particularly proud.
Santa Claus must know everything,
for be knew just bow long to wait
before he, too, wandered from the

And he (or was It Cupid?) knew Just
what to say to make this really the
most wonderful Christmas Eve In all
Virginia’s life. Just what It was. I
am not sure, but he must have told
Virginia, for presently she said, “I
know; I know,” and she had cheered
up qujte a bit before he put his arm
around her. Somehow she wasn’t so
forlorn—nor quite so proud. ~~
After a while they walked over to

to tbe carolers; and then, somehow,
they stopped right under the mlstle-.

crop is asparagus.
Mr. Idis Brabham, right at the sta

one field but on / account of labor Jiad
to cut it down to about 100 acres. Mr.
Brabham state* that he cleared about
$30,000 this year on 100 acres. Farm
