exactly touches the senses. II is diff
cult to analyze, but, nevertheless, it is
true that the spirit which pervades the
atmosphere. and lends charm to the
common enjoyments of the season, is
engendered by the personal lovable.
ness of the man and the woman who
occupy the predominant place III the
parish. Their personality is a force
which blends loving human sympathy
with an individual humility in uncom-
mon union.
This loving spirit fits in well with the
thought of the origin of Christmas, the
beginning Of Christianity. the religion
of the lowly. Thus there is no feeling
of incongruity here. All can join with
true fraternal sympathy in the serv-
ices of the church and the social GUS
toms which the country provides in
honor Of the day.
Picture, then, a bright and beautiful
Christmas day, with the trees and
hedges and the graves around the olo
church all glistening with sunshine.

stone and their family are walking
through the park to Join the first
congregation which gathers in the
freshness Of the early morning
to worship Him whose birth we
commemorate that day. While the
peasant and the statesman kneel side
by side in perfect equality, the thought
cannot be absent from any Of US that
we are all members Of one true family.
This is the keynote which anyone
spending Christmas with Mr.. and Mrs
Gladstone cannot fail to recognize. As
the congregation leaves the church,
"A happy Christmas" resounds on all
sides. Hearty greetings shd genial
handshakings are the order of che day.

lecture on their extravaganza in cos
tune. At the time there was in the
church a woman Of fashion who proved
the cynosure Of all eyes owing to the
moth-like resemblance that crowned
her xerasian summit in the shape Of a
bonnet. The woman at once con-
ceived violent antipathy to the doc
tor and did not conceal the fact. But
other clergymen, hearing Of the Incl
dent, at once took up the cudgels in the
doctors favor, and in the intervening
weeks the caloric Of the conflict has at
tanned an albescent status. The wor-
shippers at the Fifth Avenue Presbyte-
rian church are divided into rival
camps over the matter, but victory has
recently vouchsafed her virent vigor to
the champions of the clergyman.

appear In the pony carriage, which
bears the kettle and tea and cake:
ire of sticks is lighted, the kettle boils,
and there is pleasant impromptu tea
party, which is enjoyed with nairth and
laughter. Mr.. Gladstone is full of pleas
ant stories and memorable sayings, and
Is the very life of the party.
Then one day in the week all the
school children have to be entertained
Havarden is an immense parish, the
schools are very numerous, so some OF
the little ones come a, long way. But
they forget fatigue when they have
been RECALLED with a hearty tea, and the
Christmas tree, all covered with lights
and presents, meets their eager eyes.
Mrs. Gladstone is especially charm
ing on these occasions, for it is just
what she enjoys She never used to
rest a moment, but gave the greater
number Of presents to children with
her own hands. Though age tells won
ierfully little upon her, still she has to
allow others to help her now more
than she used to do.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone's birthdays
both fall within the Christmas season
Mr.. Gladstone's, as all the world
knows, on December 90, and Mrs Glad
stones on January 6. On both these
days there are sure to be happy social
gatherings
Within the grounds Of Hawsrden
castle stands very old house, which
used to be the dower-house of the Raw
enscrofts, a family who in olden times
owned part of the parish. Their estate
was united to the part belonging to the
Glynnes by the marriage of the heir Of
that family to the heiress of the Ravens
crofts. Mrs. Gladstone has had this
old house comfortably done up. and
there dwell her orphan boys, success
sion of whom have for thirty years
made the old walls resound with noise
and mirth, as the manner OF boys is.
They have fine, free, natural life.
Each day they march up to the boys
school, not walking in formal order,
but playing by the way. On Saturdays
Ghey have famous rambles in the woods,
or games of cricket or football. OF
course when Christmas comes round
Ihey are not forgotten by Mr.. and Mrs.
Gladstone. Their fete is very impor-
tant day indeed. Many of the old boys
are now useful citizens. and they some
times turn up at this joyous season to
greet their old friends at the castle and
orphanage. The big fellows occasion
much excitement in the minds of the
present little inmates who look for
ward wonderingly to the time when
they, too, shall be grown up and re-
turn to Hawarden as honored visitors.

outside OF his children, and Miss
Pauline's growing physical debility has
changed the whole course OF his life.
Nav, it is asserted that her ailment
was the chief reason for his declination

last autumn why he must refrain from
making public Ills reason for this refus-

so. although he added that this reason
was personal to himself. The truth of
the matter was known only to a very
few.
When Miss Whitney was in England
1ast summer her health showed no
tendency to improve. Father the re-
verse. Her father watched and nursed
her constantly, but without avail. In
despair he returned TO New York, and
the young lady was taken to the most
eminent of metropolitan specialists.
They were completely puzzled by the
symptoms, but advised that she be
taken to a warm climate without de-
iay. Accordingly the democratic leader

tier for a milder climate. The period

Europe and in Egypt. Young Harry

give away good deal Of money at
Christmas. The father Of John Jacob
Aston often gave houses away in
Noel time, but his iberality will be
outdone in the amount of the cold
cash which New York millionaires
mean to part with this year. The
custom is an English one and New
York will experience it for the first
time this year. The bestowal of
money among social equals will make
Christmas a very gilded festival not
only now, but hereafter, if society
takes kindly to the innovation.
