 Mrs. Roy lived in the flat below us, and remembered her boarder's name when she mentioned it, because-just because-Rob's name was Johnston, too. How I used to tease him about his plebeian name.
 'W1ose boarder?'' asked Aunt Bar bara, with her hand at her ear.
 ''Mrs. Roy's," I shouted, gathering the edibles together ruefully and bend ing the chickens fat legs in my effort to pack him in as he came, and pouring the doughnuts over him, and feeling enough of child to have good cry.

And had eaten this strange mans cake, and his apple, and bit of his chickens breast! No, never would confess that!
 There was good deal of talk and laughter in Mrs. Roy's apartment. They were jolly, cheerful people. How prayed the man might not be there, too!
 I knocked at the door of the private hall, and held the box tightly, in my embarrassment. Some one opened the door and the voices were hushed inside.

walked aimlessly to the window and looked out. Icould see over the neigh boring roofs the Christmas stars, bright and tiny crescent of a moon added to the splendor of the sky.
 Sharply and piercingly came to my mind the memory of another Christmas Eve-"only one little year ago" I had looked at the same stars, but ah, not alonel Then had come a lover's quarrel, girlish fit of temper, the un- yielding pride that is the curse of my disposition, and so we had parted. Since then had been miserable many, many hours, and had hated myself for my folly, had longed to lay my tired head in its old place on that loving breast, but never had so bitterly re- pented myself as tonight, of my final, decisive farewell in that country lane, of the untrue words of anger that told him had ceased to love him and never wished to see him again, with much more of the same sort.

 ''On Christmas day there is a roast goose or veuison for dinner and plum pudding for dessert, with big slices of cake made by the bakers only at this season. These cakes, baked in squares nearly three feet long, and plentifully stuffed with raisins, entrants and cit ron, do not resemble the dark fruit cake of England and America.

In orthodox families there is a beautiful custom of building the era dle in one corner of the room, where, in moss of diff ferent colors, are presented the plains on which the shepherds watched their hOcks by night. The little wooly sheep, the dogs, the wise men from afar are all represented, and above the cradle, where the Christ kind lies, comes down the
 light of the wondrous star in the east. On pended knee the wise men show their alteration of the child.
 "The building of this moss cradle and the whole scene is done by the mother and father, though sometimes the children are allowed to take part. The tree is usually placed on a large table covered with a fresh, white cloth and set in the middle of the room, and in the dressing of this only the parents are present. Then on Christmas Eve when it is dark the children are all as- sembled, awaiting in joyous expectation the sound of the bell which will be a signal that the free is ready. At last it comes, and with hap py hearts the children enter as the doors are thrown open. Beneath the tree heaped on the table in little piles are the useful presents.
 "The children form line aboit the tree, the oldest first, carrying the baby, and last of all the little one just walking. At the piano sits the mother, who strikes a chord. and the oldest then goes slowly around the table to discover which of the gifts is hers. If she pauses be- fore the heap intended for her the music is soft and slow; then as she gradually hears it there comes a great crash of sound and the ex- citement is intense.
