future to cultivate their acquaintance.
Mr.. Longlcy listened with great in
terest but made no comment. Howey-
or, the Elmores noticed that in day or
two he made al opportunity to call on
pretty little Miss Morris. On his way
back from the west he stopped off again
ito see his friends, the Elmores."
Il really believe that Fred Longley is
only making this an excuse" said Mrs.
Elmore to her husband. 81 am i'm
pressed with the idea that he wants to
see Miss Morris again"
."Well, he is of age" was her hus-
bands reply, ''and has an independent
fortune. lie can certainly do as he
pleases."
And the upshot of the whole affair
was that on the next Christmas day Mr..
and Mrs. Elmore took dinner at the ele-
CANT city home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Longley. Little Miss Morris as Mrs.
Longley was beauty in her handsome
toilet and with her happy face. And
her mother was there, too-a sweet
faced old lady in black silk-who took
Mrs. Elmore aside and said: "All this

elegant Christmas dinner. She had n
chance to use for the first time since
she had been in the west her whole din
ner set of china. She took unusual
pains in arranging her parlors SO that
there Should be everything to amusc
and entertain her guests-cards, port
foliosof engravings, games, sterecscopic
views. books, etc. When the happy
company assembled q more polite and
agreeable set of young people could
scarcely be found. With rare tact did
Mrs. Elmore play the part Of hostess,
making them all feel at ease and ac-
ouainted. NJ. Gilmore had heartily en-
tered into her plan, and his clerks were
delighted to find that the somewhat
severe business manager could be the
most jovial OF hosts. There was not
the least air of condescension in the
manner of either host or hostess, and it
was cheering oasis in all their hard
working lives to be made to feel that
the rich and fortunate took kindly in-
terest in them.
But the prettiest and most attractive
LADY in the crowd was little Miss Nor
ris. Her dress was only soft black
cashmere, but she had white illusion
bow at her throat, with red carnation
and a geraniun leaf fastened in it,
which set off well the fineness Of her
complexion, while a few geranium
leaves adorned her soft, brown hair.
Just before dinner. while the whole
company were engaged in lively talk
and mirth, there was knock at the
door. and Mr.. Elmore was called to
welcome an old college chum, Mr.. Fred
Longley, whom he had not seen for
years, and who had stopped off on his
way to the far west to spend a few
DAYS. He was quite an old bachelor,
and expressed himself as greatly dis
mayed at happening in on party of
gay young people, instead of finding
his friend alone in ''the western wilds,"

as he styled the locality. But there
was no help for it, and he was soon do
ing his best to make himself agreeable
to the company.
After delightful evening, when the
hour for breaking up arrived, Mr.. and
Mrs. Elmore were quite surprised to
notice that Mr.. Lcngley was preparing
to accompany some one Of the ladies
home, and they scarcely knew whether
to feel pleased or embarrassed on find
ing that little Miss Morris was the lady
thus honored.
II fear we have misled Fred by this
party" said Mr.. Elmore. II don't ex'
actly know how he would feel If he
knew he was escorting a little seam
stress home. At all events we must tell
him. His magnificent mother and fas-
tidious sisters would be Mortified if they
knew it."
Miss Morris is both prettier and
more of a lady than his naughty sisters.
However, l will explain my Christmas
party when he returns" was Mrs. FL
more's reply, 80 that he may fully I'M
derstand matters. He shall not be the
victim of any misunderstanding"
Mr.. Fred Longley soon returned, and
as he took off his gloves aud furs he
said:
"Tell, I declare, You have some nice
sensible and pretty young ladies in this
little burg. Pray, who is Miss Morris?
really am quite captivated by her"
Mrs. Elmore explained at length her
idea in giving the party. She wished
to show attention and afford some
really refined social pleasure TO worthy
young people who were earning their
own living, and whom society too often
neglected. For her own part, she said,
she had been surprised to find such re-
finement and intelligence in the little
company of faithful workers. She
liked them far better than pretentious
People's voice. [volume] (Wellington, Sumner County, Kansas) 1890-1917, 1892-12-23

and how modest and good tempered her
every act and word revealed her to be.
A new train of thought had been started
in Mrs. Elmore's mind. When her hus-
band came home that evening she said
to him:
"You said this morning that it would
look little unsociable in US to have
Christmas dinner all by ourselves, and
also that I would be happier if took
more interest in people. have been
interesting myself in people to-day, and
l want to have company to Christmas
dinner of people in whom l am inter-
ested."
"And who are they, pray?" said Mr..
Elmore, opening his eyes very wide.
They are some young persons who
work hard, and are good hammered and
virtuous and intelligent, and yet have
no homes of their own nor any social
advantages. l want to invite of mar
ried people only the good old clergyman
and his wife; then l shall ask the two
young ladies who teach in the public
schools; Miss Green, the telegraph
operator; Miss Ray, who keeps that lit
tie book store, and the little Miss Nor
ris, whom you have seen sewing for me
this week. Then want you to invite
all the clerks in your Office. They are
nice young fellows, and l am sure they
will enjoy it."
Great was the JOY and delight of all
the aforementioned parties TO receive
in due time an invitation to dine on
Christmas day with the beautiful and
rich Mrs. Elmore, who was generally
supposed to be so aristocratic and ex-
elusive. There was a fixing over OF
garments, and a buying of neckties
and ruches, and a futter of happy
hearts in preparation for the unusual
occasion.

A vision that did til outvie,
From Heavens portals sweeping.
The shepherds all were sore amazed,
AS tremblingly they upward gazed
At form angelic flying.
But hark they hear the angel sing:
Good tidings Of great JOY bring,
For unto you is born King,
He's in manger lying.
Melodious rang the seraph's voice:
Fear not but evermore rejoice,
And cease fore'cr your signing,
For unto you is born this day,
In David's city, blestf forage,
The Saviour, Christ, the living Way,
Exult, with angels vying."
And now host, heavenly throng,
Sweeps all the air and earth along,
Triumphant chorus raising
ITO God be glory" now the cry,
"And praise to Him who reigns on high"
GOOD will to men, rings from the sky
From choir celestial praising.
A star more bright than all the rest
Shone out, that hottest night and best,
The wise men safely guiding.
And lO the star before them went,
And to their path radiance lent
To lead them where their steps were bent
In worshipiul confding
And as they came to lowly inn,
And found the newborn Babe within,
They jOyed with joy exceeding.
And when they saw the holy child
Within the arms OF virgin mild,
They praised, with lips pure, indebted,
The Lords most gracious leading.
Low at His feet they humbly fell,
And sought, in vain, their joy to tell,
But opened out their treasures.
Rich frankincense and myrrh they brought,
And gifts Of gold with jewels wrought,
To lay before the Babe they d sought,
Outspread in fullest measures.
Then let the bells their carols ring,
To praise the mangcr- Graded King,
The Christ of sacred story.
Let every heart, with men Of old,
Pour out its frankincense and gold,
In loyalty and love untold,
To God, the King Of Glory.

What are you going to do
on Christmas day?" she said.
81 suppose I shall just NOPE
around all day in the board
ing house; there is nothing
to do and nowhere to 60, and
| have no acquaintance
here"
Where is your home?" said
Mrs. Elmore, with genuine
interest.
And then the pretty little
seamstress told the rich and
beautiful Mrs. Elmore all
about her home and her child
hood. 1t was a commonplace
story, because there are so
many thousand similar sto-
ries. Her father and mother
had had a good start in life,
were prosperous and respect
ed. They had moved to the
west just when the period Of
initiation began. She and her
sisters had been sent to good
schools, had taken music les
sons and known every COM
fort in life. Then came the
general financial crash; then
the death of her father; then
the hopeless struggle of her
mother to keep the family
together, ending in their go
ing back east to her mothers
family. There the seamstress
had found q life of depend
ence uncomfortable, and she
had taken up the occupation
OF sewing, and gradually
worked her way westward
till she had come to this
place. She was bravely at
work supporting herself and
sending some money home to
her mother regularly. But
horne life and the gay pleas
ures OF youth she. had been
obliged to forego, and she
did it with an accomplishing
cheerfulness that seemed
really wonderful to Mrs. e.
more.
All morning Mrs Elmore
kept thinking over the story
of the little seamstresS. She
wondered how she herself
would feel placed in similar
circumstances. Then she OBJ
served her more narrowly,
and noted how refined the
young girl was, in her per-
sonal appearance; how soft
and pretty and well kept was
her hair: how neat her linen
collar, how white and beat
hands. Again and again SHE
into conversation, and noticed
sible she was, how correct her
People's voice. [volume] (Wellington, Sumner County, Kansas) 1890-1917, 1892-12-23

"Who is there in this little town that
we would care to have?" was the reply.
"As far as l know, we would only be
bored by the presence of any Of the
families whose acquaintance we have
formed"
There's Lawyer Barker, and Mr..
Benton, and old Judge Window. They
are all pleasant"
Eyes, but Mrs Barker would talk
about nothing but what she did, and
how she lived. in Boston, and how I'M
kind fortune is to cast the lot of sore
fined and delicate Il person as herself in
the west. Mrs. Benton would enter
tain me with her troubles with the
hired girl and an enumeration of the
children's ailments, and old Judge Win
dom would gurgle the soup, and put
the turkey stufing in his mouth with
his knife. l would really rather just
have a good dinner all to ourselves,
since we cannot 90 home to eat il"
"Well, Mary, just as you feel about
it." said Mr.. Elmore, as he put on his
People's voice. [volume] (Wellington, Sumner County, Kansas) 1890-1917, 1892-12-23
