How Christmas Was Celebrated tn Her
Fathers House Leng Years Ago.
With me the memory of the Christ
mas holidays OF my child and girlhood
will ever be one of the most sacred and
sweet of my life, from the larks of the

them, in barring in or out the teacher
till he or she gave us a holiday and a
treat, to the blessed Christmas morning
when we all few into fathers and moth

filed stockings hanging round the
broad old fireplace and to receive the
warm embraces of those revored and in
dulgent parents.
How well we remember the sparkling
wood fire in the ample old fireplace,
with rows OF apples toasting before it,
the great dishes of popcorn, popped in
covered kettle, SO white and fresh
and tender; the sweet, rich nuts and
the crystal cider for the evenings when
we assembled in each others homes for
a good time and to play games of for
felt and chance.
For genuine pleasure those times
have never been surpassed by the state
" occasions of maturer years, and more
than once our heart has longed for those
happy days.
The custom of ceremonious calls on
New Years day did not obtain with us
till later years, but the day was not
allowed to pass without celebration,
usually with dinner party and dane
ing in the evening, and always with
closing up of the accounts of the old
year and beginning the new with many
resolves that were broken and forgot
ten before the ides of many months had
passed over our heads.

J There was no snow on the ground, only
| slight powdering on fences, twigs
and branches. The walk and the exer-

nv cheeks aglow. The baby cooed and
prattled in delight. We entered the
pine woods, whose resinous breath
stole to my senses with refreshing
fragrance.
l gathered some evergreens; and then
suddenly recalling spot where the red
teaberries were won't to grow, tucked
an afghan closer about the child and
said:
Now, darling, SIT still here minute
while aunty goes to get some beoful

She laughed and nodded. I left her

on the ground and burst into tears.

coming on. and somewhere in those
awful, dim, mysterious woods was a
tender little child wandering alone,
suffering, dying, perhaps.
They told me afterward that when I
staggered into the house l was like
dead woman. l could not speak, but
pointed silently to the empty carriage.
And then some one-was it Eleanore's
mother?-nercifully took me by the
hand and led me into the parlor. The
tree was a thing OF beauty, a-glitter
with dainty baubles, tapers and toys.
They were all there in a group survey
ing it-and there on the fur rug, before
the glowing, open fire, lay big, black,
dignifed dog, and with her head pill
lowed on his shoulder, fast asleep-El-
eanore!
Why why! howl stammered; and
then, as the room got black and every
body seemed floating away, some one
said:
Don't, Teddy, dear! It was all right.
Nero brought her home. We were only
worried about you"
And soneway found myself on the
rug, my arms about the baby and the
dog, weeping like child from very
happiness and gratitude.
That was happy Christmas.

life was brought me by baby and a

! 1t was a curious story.
| | was spending the holidays at nv old
home in the country. We We're prepar-
| ing for genuine, old-fashioned family
! Christmas, with turkey, plum pudding,
/ mince pies, tree and presents galore.
All the sisters, brothers and cousins
were there; delightful air of expec-
fancy brooded over everything; mystic
rious whispers and a continual exchange
Of condolences We're going on.
The altogether most delightful fea-
ture of the occasion was the presence of
little Eleanore, the first baby of the
entire circle. who was bowed down to
! and wershiped by uncles, aunts and
cousins. She was a lovely child; not a
beauty, but winsome and charming,
brimful of mischief and possessing
quaint little ways all her own.
She was just beginning to talk, and
her funny little gib6erish was a never
ceasing fund of amusement. OF course
she was greatly interested in the Christ
mas preparations, and watched the ar
rangement of the evergreens and
wreaths with childish delight There
was another interested spectator that
was ever with her-NerO-a great ugly
faced mastiff. He was a severe sort OF a
dog. having great regard for his personal
dignity and allowing very few familiar
tiles. But that blessed baby was his
tyrant. She rode him. She pulled his
ears and tail; she fell asleep with her
curly, blonde head pillowed on his side,
and Nero bore all with a resigned stole
ism which was sublime. He constituted
himself her body guard and followed
her constantly.
1t was the DAY before Christmas The
big house was upside down with CON
fusion and hustle. Express packages
and letters were coming and going, the
tree was being decorated in the parlor,
and in the great kitchen was such
beating and pounding and stirring as
never was before.
The baby was omnipresent, polzing
her tiny fingers into everything, and a.
her side Nero solemnly stalked
Eve are not going to have evergTeens
