their almost happy expressions, very
nearly completed their task. Others
seemed SO worried that you felt at once

were sill casting about for the right
presents for several mem bers OF their re-
spectvs families. Once in a while, rarely,
it must be admitted. but still often
enough to jar discordantly In the desired
Christmas harmony, there would be

spirit absolutely declined to be present,
but it is happily true that such instances
were decidedly in the minority. On the
whole, the faces OF the shoppers reflected
the pleasure they felt in buying their
gifts.
In the throng that pushed and elbowed
its way through the aisles OF a depart
ment store on Christmas Eve was man
who looked like an exaggerated figure
from a toy box. His sailor uniform was
spick and span, ald the gold letters on
his cap band showed little wear. In one
hand he carried little parcel, the other
was thrust deep into his trousers pocket,
and so he joined the Christmas shoppers.
Presently he landed on an upper floor
which was given over to Santa Claus.

sailor moved away, but his spirit was
not to be dampene1 by q little mishap,

cornered several children and bought
presents for them, which were In some
instances as inappropriate as the soldier
