American child instead of after little
Germans and Italians and Psrisians.
For two or three days the idea kept
growing upon him until he finally

her big, laughing eyes. With these

clay and sent it to one of the queer
little factories where toys are manu-

heads were made and shipped across
the water, reaching this country only
few weeks before Christmas.
The dealer unpacked his treasures
and displayed them in his windows
scores of bisque and china reproduc-
tIons of the lace of his little acquaint-
ance on shipboard. When the chill

a head of the proper size in clay.
Then two plaster casts are made, one
of the face of the mold and one of the
back, the dividing line running from
the center of the top of the head
through the point of the shoulders. A
core of plaster about half an inch

the cavity inside of the dolls head.
The molds being now completed, they

forces the core until it is within
quarter of an inch or less of the mold,

eyes, I s'pose So.
They parted with manifest stiffness
of manner on both sides.
"Setl set! set!" said Mrs. Jenness,
as her father walked out of the yard
and down the road toward his own
home. "The settest man that ever
walked the earth! I wouldn't stand
it about Jenny if I was mother. She's
dying to see Jenny's babies, an I just
b'leeve that father'd soften if he saw
'em once. The only grandchildren
he's got on earth, and he nor ma never

so he should see those two dear little
tots once!"
It was dark when Jason Hogarth
reached his house. There we're no
lights in the front windows OF the big,
square farm house with an incredibly
long L back of it. He walked around
to the rear, where streams of CHEEKY
light shone from the kitchen windows.
A pleasant odor Of frying ham greeted
him as he entered the kitchen, where
table with o snowy cloth was set for
supper, close to the shining kitchen
stove.
"It was 81 chilly in the dining-room,
I thought we'd eat supper out here, |"

haired woman.

eyes; I'll take 1t right up"
They talked little while they ate.
Jason was inwardly rebellious over
what he called his daughters "impu-
dence," and Mrs. Hogarth's thoughts
could not be given utterance, because
they were Of Jenny.
"l must so up to the attic an git
out the buff'Io robes" said Mr.. Ho-
garth, pushing his chair away from
the table. "I'll start 80 early in the
ruornin' / won't have time to git the
robes then. I guess I'll put right of
for bed soon as git the robes. I've
got to be off by o'clock.
Five minutes later he was in his
musty, coowebbed old attic, candle in
hand. When he had found the robes
he said to himself:
"Wonder if my big fur mufler amt
up here in some O them trunks?
I'll need it if it's cold as 1 think it'll
be in the morning. Mebbe it's in this
trunk"
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1895-12-25

He dropped on one knee before q
small, old, hair-covered trunk, with
brass.headed nails that had lost their
luster years ago. Throwing up the
trunk lid, he held the candle lower.
His eye fell on a big rag doll with q
china head. He picked it up and
stared at it moment.
His mind went back to Christmas
long years ago. He was poor young
married man then, and ne had worked
nearly all day at husking corn for a
neishbor, to earn money to buy that
doll head, and his wife had set up un-
til midnight to make the clumsy body
stuffed with sawdust. He remembered
how his little Jenny had shrieked with
10y when she found the doll in her
stocking the next morning. And what
is this? A tiny, faded, blue merino
baby sacque. His wife had made it
before Jenny had yet come into the
world. 1t was the very first thy gar.
ment she had made. and her husband
recalled how she had blushed and tried
to hide it under her apron when he
had found her at work on it. He re-
membered that he had taken it from
her and kissed her, and then he had
kissed the tiny garment itself.
The candle in his hand shook
strangely as he bent lower over the
trunk and brought forth tiny china
cup with From Papa on it, and a
little sampler with "God bless father
and mother" worked in rather uncer-
tain letters by little hand.
There was a string of blue glass
beads that he has given her on he-

Christmas Thoughts.

A chiId's hand is SO small that a
tiny present will fill it.
The gift of gifts is love, and there
is no other in the world that can hide
it's lack or its scantiness.
It's at Christmas that the old adage
is more forcibly impressed upon you,
"'Tis more blessed to give than to re-
ceive."
The principal Christmas problem is
to extract a variety Of pretty presents
from limited financial area, and the
amount of wearing brain work spent
on its solution would solve the tariff
question if it could all be gathered to-
gether and applied.
Christmas should be the home fes"
tival because the coming OF Christ
has changed alto gether che position OF
the woman and has put in their proper
light the rights of childhood. Hence.
forth the wife AMI mother is the chief
figure in every home, and a little
child is in the midst thereof.
