surprised To learn that in the first CEN
turies Of the Christian era Christians,
though generally celebrating the nativity,
were not unanimous i'm the time chosen

not only to commemorate the Epiphany,

was not until the end of the fourth CEN

Estranged Husband and Wife Living Un-
happily In Luxury.
On one of the North Side avenues stands
a fine old fashioned mansion. 1t is as old
as a North Side house can possibly be, for
IL was built soon after tho great fire. The
house Is a double one, three stories in
height, and has many cheerful white lace
curtained windowa To the passsrby the
old mansion looks like the abode of good
cheer and happiness. But to those ac-
quainted with It's occupants it has quite
the contrary appearance. True, the owner
Of the mansion Is rich--very rich in the
material sense-but poor-poorer by far
than many dweller in some wretched ten

name. He occupies one part of the house,
she the other, and they might as well live
In different spheres for all the company
they are to each other They have horses
and carriages galore, but are never seen to
drive or ride together.
When the students from the universities
and colleges focked home, the two sons of
the couple came home also. But this
brought no change to the gloomy life the
two old people led, for one son was always
seen with the mother and the other, who
seemed to he the younger one, alone ac-
companied the father in his walks and
drives.
On pleasant days in the summer the old
lady could often be seen sitting on the
piazza, but when the husband came home
he would bow formally and then pass into
the house.
One day the neighbors saw black and
white Grape on the door, and the news soon
spread that the younger son was dead. Ev-
cry one supposed that this great affiiction
would heal the breach between them; but,
although individual tears were shed by
each. it was observed that no word Of SYM
pathy WAS expressed by one to the other.
The grave was closed over their darling,
the carriage turned homeward and their
stately home was entered, but their proud
and defiant attitude remained unchanged
toward each other. What dreadful act had
she or he committed against the other to
warrant such unnatural behavior? 1t is a
mystery which cannot be solved by any
