Edwina wore her warm winter coat and tuu-o'-shan ter, and her fat fingers were snug glied up in red mittens. "I've got Christ 1115as errallnds to do, mother," said lEdwinn when she reached the door. "Tomorrow's (ihristma111s, and I'm go ing to buy a present for Santa Claus." "Well, I declare " Mirs. Ray sank into a chair and began to laugh. "A present for Santa Claus himself?" "A real present. I've got 12 cents. I earned Jis money my own self, and and ant to buy something for Santa w 1 my own money." "Very well, dear. I am sure Santa Claus will be pleased enough to be remembered. You had better go to Smith's store." "All right," called Edwina as she went out. It was snowing a little-just little, light, floating flakes like tiny feathers. Inside the kitchen it had been warm and cozy, with a delicious smell of mince meat, ftesh cookies and apples. Outside it was cold, and the stinging snowflakes made her checks tingle. "What can I do for you, Edwina?" asked Mr. Smith. "I want i pair of slippers-for a man," sai Ed wi na, primly. "What size?" asked the storekeeper. "Very big ones," said Edwina in a grownup's manner. "ium I" smiled Mr. Smith in a mys terious way. "Well, you can change them after Christmas if they don't fit." Edwina wondered. if Santa Claus could come all the way back from the at aB a d Se rie d . not/oejs ocag aro slpes bu h ai ohng.ni Mr. S ithsoe e avr ag pair f flwere slipers "Wanta Has Taente enough? ad n Enot pole usy tocag - aro "Hiper, but he lhd Mrtin.

Here were all sorts of things she could buy with her money, b~ut it was hard to chooso something Santa Claus might like. T1here were books-such nice stories, too. One in particular, called "Patty and 11er Pitcher," was so de lightful that Edwina was sure Santa Claums would like- it. . So she paid 10 cents for~ that, and with the remaining 2 cents she bought two sticks of red and1 white strip'ed candly. When she showved these things to her father end mother they did not even smile, but they said they were sure Sata Claus would be pleased. "I shall hang a stocking for Santa and put these things in it," said Ed wina, and on the stocking she pinned a note aying;: "From a little-girl who loves you." She went happily to bed, and the, next thing Edwina knew it was Christ mas morning. She hopped out of bed. and ran into the warm living room to see if Santa hadlyeen there. WVhat a wonderful array of toys dolls and (doll house and' furniture, books and1( gamnes and toy dishes, a lit tIe fur muiT' and a rocking chair and so many other things I Edwina clapped her hands and jumped for joy. "Santa has taken the hook and candly.I" she cried, antd then she found a lIttle note algnedl "Sanita Claui."

But It was not one to poor little Edna Gray, the tired little cashgirl. This Christmans eve Edna was very sal. She had planned to give her mother a nice Christmas present, and to crown it all she was going to hide the present in one of a pair of new stockings to hang on the chair beside her widowed and sick mother's bed. A well dressed man and women smiled as the little girl took a pack age of gloves to the bundle counter. "She looks like Beatrice," whispered the woIaIn softly, and the man nod ded, with a smil ing recollection of the little daugh ter tucked be tween the sheets at home dream ing of Sia n ta Claus. "Poor ch i ld," he murmured. And when Edna returned w I t I their package he slippod some thing crisp and green into her little hand. "Merry Christ s mas !" he hIinghed as t h e y disap peared in the crowd. "Oh, t h an k you 1" breathed Edna its s h e peeked at the hill in her thiln hand.

"Cash" took the packige, and it dropped from her tired flingers to the floor.
