Dickens at Christmas Time.

In our childish days my father used to
take us every 24th of December to toy
shop in Holborn. where we were allowed
to select our Christmas presents, and
also any that we wished to give to our
little companions. writes Mamie Dickens
in one of her delightful papers, "My Fa-
Their as | Recall Him." in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Although l believe we
were often an hour in the shop before our
several tastes were satisfied. he never
showed the least impatience, was always
interested, and as DESTROYS as we, that we
should choose exactly what we liked
best AS we grew older, present-giving
was confined to our several birthdays,
and this annual visit TO the Holborn toy
shop ceased. My father, although the
most generous of mortals, did not observe,
except in rare instances, the custom of
sending Christmas gifts to people outside
his home; there was so large a claim upon
him there that the pleasure would have
been tax had he gone beyond it's walls.
The football ornaments are now in sea-
son.

Riches may be its boon. but riches are

earth is no more death than merely liv-

How One Girl Embarrassed Herself by
Wishing a Merry Christmas"
An indianapolis girl, who spent las Z
winter abroad studying music, relates an
amusing incident of her experience with
one of the teachers He was n young
Italian musician who also played in the
orchestra, and with whose charms all the
girls affected TO be terribly smitten They
called him Romeo behind his back. and
declared that with his Jet black eyes and
curly hair he would be perfect Apollo III
he were only taller; as it was, he was "a
perfect little beauty" 1t was a dav or
two before the Christmas HOLIDAYS and
our young lady had just finished lesson
with him. Their conversation had always
been very limited, as he knew but little
English and never seemed disposed to air
that; so, blushing at her holiness, she
turned at the dor and said: Il wish you a
merry Christmas" He looked at her for
moment as if he thought her crazy, and
then, bowling deeply. said: 1T is q great
honor you do, but / cannot marry YOU
Christmas; no, no. do not ask it!' Tho
poor girl was dreadfully embarrassed.
and repeated what she had said several
times, with an emphasis that caused Ro-i
meo to become more alarmed and decided
in his refusal. II do not want to marry
you Christmas or ever" ne protested.
When his now thoroughly indignant pupil
at length made him understand that she
meant happy Christmas" he was great
ly distressed at his mistake, and was pro-
fuse in his bows and apologies.
