Ann Carson climbed quickly down off the small stepladder she was using to hang the glittering angel on the topmost bough of the Christmas tree. The sharp clang of the door bell was a welcome sound. Hastening joyously she flung the door wide open. “For me? Come in, Timmy.” She smiled down at the wizened old hunchback shivering on the door step. Ann took the package tendered almost ceremoniously, bearing con spicuously the label of his own small flower shop. And with the privilege of a lifelong friend Timmy followed her into the warm lamplit room. Slowly and musingly Ann untied the bright tinsel bows. She knew without looking what the box con tained and as her fingers broke the seals she seemed again to hear Jer- ry’s voice, low, quivering and hurt. They had gone to a dance that memorable Christmas eve and homeward through the whitening mist she had tried bravely, to tell him she must marry another man. A frantic Jerry pleading and a strange new ache at her heart, she had stood for a moment on the run ning board of his car and Jerry had whispered: “But, darling little Ann, I’ll love you always—always!” He had touched with reverent clumsy fingers the single crimson rose she was wearing on the soft black fur of her evening wrap. The touch seemed to give him an idea. Jerry was romantic and they were both so young. “No matter whereev- er I may b". little Ann,” he said, “I’ll send yo_ i d roses at Christmas time and you will know.” “If ever,” he had added, cruch- ing her close as he lifted her down, “if ever I feel I can live without you, when the scars of this night heal, I’ll send white ones. Remember ber!" and with a quick stride he was gone. But she had not married the other man. Somehow after that she couldn’t. But impulsive hot-headed Jerry left that night, a stowaway on a tramp steamer bound for China, and now one, two, three, four long CHRISTMAS BROUGHT JESTERS Medieval kings used to have fools and jesters to amuse them. Later, however, the wearers of the cap and bells were not the exclusive posses sion of kings and queens, princes, counts, barons, a n <l bishops, for the fashion of keeping buffoons passed from sovereigns to corporations and private individual®. These jesters were then brought into requisition during the Christmas season, and retained to brighten up the hall and kitchen with their witty sayings and practical jokes. TIMMERMAN AND WARING NEW UNITED STATES JUDGES George Bell Timmerman of Lex ington and Batesburg, and J. Waties Waring of Charleston, were nominat ed by President Roosevelt in Wash ington for the two federal district judgeship vacancies in South Caro lina. The nominations are subject to confirmation by the senate. Mr. Timmerman was nominated to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Judge Alva M. Lumpkin of Co lumbia, who was appointed to the senate and served only a brief time before his death this fall. Mr. Waring was named to be suc cessor to the late Judge Frank K. Myers of Charleston, whose juris diction was the Eastern and West ern districts of South Carolina. With Judge C. C. Wyche of Spar tanburg, Mr. Timmerman and Mr. Waring would fill out the three fed eral district judgeships in South Carolina. Mr. Waring is city attorney for Charleston and was a United States district attorney there during Presi dent Wilson’s administration. years unrolled before hex. Her letters, pleading and unaaham. ed had followed him half way around the earth gathering curious post marks, undecipherable, but eventually they had returned, tattered, tom— but unclaimed. But they had come. From strange lands in far odd comers they had come, those orders to old Timmy the florist for the red, red roses as red as her own heart’s blood that now beat so chokingly in her throat. And she would wait, wait forever if need be, for Jerry. Exultantly she lifted the lid. Roses! But slowly over her face froze a look of piteous unbelief. The mass of blossoms blurred before her eyes and Jerry’s pain-tom words rang in her ears: “If ever I can live without you, I’ll send white ones.” And— these were white. As white as the drifting snow outside. Whit Roses! Mutely her lips formed the words. Oh, God, it couldn’t be, after all these years! White roses! “You don’t like them? I very sor ry” Crestfallen, apologetic, old Tim my was turnin to go. “But the or der came so late. No red ones left for you, only leetle wilty buds and so I peeck the beeg, white ones for you.” His dim old eyes pleaded elo quently for her understanding. Oh!—Oh!—breathlessly. The light that ne’er was on land or sea came flooding back into Ann’s face and clear as a child’s faith in Santa Claus the war-away chimes were pealing. Peace, good will to men! Jerry had meant red roses after all. GAILY WRAPPED GIFTS PROMOTE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT Festive wrappings make the differ ence between a gift for Christmas and something that might turn up at any time of the year. They ex press the glamour of the season, the spirit of Christmas giving and the extra measure of good cheer. Those who wait till the last min ute to buy their presents find it best to depend upon bright and gay wrap ping papers and glittering ribbon. If the patterns of these papers are selected thoughtfully, something in dividual can be found for each gift. Others who obtain wieir presents a little in advance of Christmas will have time to wrap each gift as a personal greeting in itself. There are a number of ways to give each grift wrapping a different personal ity. DEMURE—A square box wrapped in pink foil paper with a round lace paper doilie paster on the top, and in the center of the doilie a bouquet of flower stickers. YOUNG—For a big box wrap in heavy white paper, then cut out green paper in Christmas tree shape and trim it lavishly with Christmas seals. SPANGLED—Wrap a square box in blue foil paper and spangle it all over with silver stars. FROSTY—Shiny green wrapping paper spattered with white paper snowflakes will have a wintry glit ter. JOLLY—For the young fry, a gift of handkerchiefs is made doubly in teresting if they’re rolled up and tied around the middle with white yarn arms, a little broom and a black cardboard hat—to look like a snow-man. RIPE—Wrap in white paper, tied with green ribbon and, instead of a bow, a bunch of bright cherries from the five-amd-ten. FRIVOLOUS—Wrap the package in green foil paper, tie with white satin ribbon and a “bouquet” of small white plumes. MUSICAL—Wrap with brilliant blue foil paper, tie with silver rib bon with a cascade of little jingle bells instead of a bow. TIMES CHANGE . . . ...
