It’ll give me a chance to show those three brothers of mine how well THEY might have done. They never would listen to me in business matters.” “Tom and James haven’t fared too badly,” said Mary. “But poor Edward has had a hard time of it. It rather makes me proud of you, dear. You’re so far ahead of the rest of the clan.” Henry bowed. He felt that he had earned his wife’s praise. “Spare no expense on this party, honey,” he said. “I want my younger brothers and their fam ilies to remember this New Year’s Eve as long as they live. Do you think we should send Edward the train fare? He’s got four kids, you know.” Correction “Five,” Mary corrected him. “But you’re forgetting that Ed- ward also has the Waterford pride. He wouldn’t accept the rr oney if we sent it. Remember the fuss he made about that lot you gave him?” “Do I? And he insisted on giv ing me the twenty-five shares of stock that dad had left him.

What do you think?” . . “I’m sure I don’t know, dear,” said Mary. “But please don’t em barrass any of your brothers.” They all showed up New Year’s Eve. Henry glowed with pride while his three brothers and their families ‘oohed’ and ‘aahed’ their way through the richly furnished house. “You’ve done real well, Henry,” said Tom approvingly as he reached for his second cocktail. Henry shrugged. “And how are you boys doing?” Reports “James has been made sales manager of his company,” said plump Mrs. James Waterford proudly. “And Tom got himself a promo tion only last week,” said that brother’s wife, not to be outdone. “And Edward?” asked Henry. “How have you been getting along?” “Oh — we’re managing,” said Edward quietly. “Our assets are here with us—five healthy chil dren.” Mrs. Tom Waterford coughed. Henry could see that his brothers were amused by Edward’s state ment. He noticed a glint of scorn in their silent appraisal of Ed ward’s ‘best’ suit. Suddenly Henry felt guilty. “I think our Edward has outsmarted us all,” he said. “How’s that?” asked James in surprise. “Well—just look at him. He’s surrounded by those who think he’s a great guy. He’s the picture of health. I’ll bet you don’t have some doctor restricting your diet, do you, Edward?” Edward smiled. “No. Do you?” Wisest “We all do,” said Henry, nod ding toward James and Tom. Neither denied it. “Yes sir, Ed ward, you’re pretty foxy. I think your wisest move was in giving me that stock to keep for you.” Edward held out his hand. “Thanks Henry! You always were a better business man than I.” “That’s your fault,” said Henry. “But I can still teach you—if you’ll come into business with __ _ 1 f me. Edward studied his little flock. Then his eyes sought Helen’s. She nodded happily. “Dinner’s ready!” announced Mary Waterford. When the others had filed into the dining room she caught Henry’s sleeve. “I heard that story about the stock,” she said softly. “That was sweet of you, dear.” Henry grinned. “That’s what big brothers are lor. Isn’t it?” he asked. i\ Etctetctcx^tetctgtctctetetcietrcictra Let us try to receive the full joy ^ 1 of the message that came to the shepherds that night in Bethle hem.
