fore, without stint or reservation. And
/ think sometimes that parents do not
always understand this. 1t is right
and all-essential that restrictions upon
the amusements of the young should
prevail in every home. But Christmas
day is the one day when these barriers
ought to be lifted, and the young given
free play. No wholesome liberty nor
indulgence should be withheld from
boy or girl on that day. What of it, my
dear friend if such liberties do mean a
tear here, or a broken chair there?
Suppose the boy is particularly noisy
on Christmas. What of it? Tell me If
you can, better sign of strong, young
health than the noise from a boys
lungs! Suppose he does throw him
self, or even jump or stand, on your
best lounge. and soil or rumple your pet
tidy! Pass over it, don't notice it, but
let the boy have his Christmas day.
And if the little girl does insist upon
putting her sticky candy fingers on
your dress what of it? Let her romp
and tear all over the house. Give her
the Joy of feeling that for one day the
house is hers in every nook and corner
of it. Let her put her smutcby little
hands on the white paint of door or
wall j know home, my dear oman,
where the marks of four little
smutchy fingers may be seen any day
on the white paint of door, and they
are treasured above the costliest orna-
ments in that house. Nothing could IN
duce the mother of that home to wipe
off those finger-marks, and gayly would
her heart sing if the little fingers that
put them there could make others all
over the doors and windows of that
house. Let each one of us VINO
can, give freedom and zest to the dear.

and the worst witness we had against us was
an old German who was stackbuilder by

such a clear straightforward manner that I

storm, but its best beauty for us was
keeping you home a day. | feel now
as II | wanted to get up a splendid
Christmas dinner and share IL and our
happiness with some one else who is
less fortunate than we are"
Mr.. Jones smiled. He, too, had
thought a few days before that they
ought to share their Christmas with
friends, but he had checked the inn
pulse with the thought that.with the
babies and Bridget's incompetence it
was no use to try; it wouldn't pay.
But with the new spirit and atmos-
phere that bad begun to develop in his
home his heart went out in generous
feelings towards others; so true is it
that happy homes are the seed-beds of
kindness for the world.

As it proved, there was train about
three o'clock; and the man who went
to the city on il, bound on his errand
of kindness, was an entirely different

Christmas. A heavy snow and ram
storm had come up in the night, and in
| the morning the suburb of JonesvillC
was thing of beauty to the eye, but a
thing of discomfort to the feet of Pc
destrians, especially to those who must
catch the early morning train to the
| city. Breakfast had been little late; I;
the coffee had been poor, the mullins
underdone and the eggs overdone; the
dining-room was cold and Mr.. Jones IN
one of his most irritable humors. Had
his wife been at the breakfast table he
would have indulged in few sarcastic
remarks about the incompetence of
women TO manage a household or to
train and direct servants, but the poor
woman had not come down owing 70
the fact that the baby had wakened and
set up a loud demand for attention Just
as the breakfast bell rang, Little Rob
bic, three years old, had come down
stairs half dressed and had been sent
back with a sharp reprimand and
must il be confessed-a sharp slap on
his little bare legs, Yes, Mr.. Jones was
an educated, Christian gentleman, but
all the same he slapped his little son so
smartly that the child cried out with
pain and started TO climb the stairs TO
his mother. For moment Mr. Jones
realized the atrocity of his act and it's

he excused himself to his conscience by
saying that he was naturally irritable,
and that cold house, poor breakfast
and the prospect OF wading through
the unbroken snow-drifts to the train
were too much for human nature-his
human nature-to bear As he thus ex-
cused himself his temper began to rise
again, and just before leaving the
house he called TO his wife from the foot
of the stairs:
Tell that old fool Hans that il he

that for several days his wife had been
telling him that something about the
furnace was wrong that Hans could not
fix, and had asked him to see about II,
he hurried of TO avoid hearing her re-

Mr.. Jones was in that very common,

some other human being; and although
he loved his wife and was in the main

CRATE got stuck? Let me try it,"
Mr.. Jones was q strong man, but he
could not bulge the furnace CRATE. In
stead, however, of calling old Hans a
fool and threatening him with dis
missal he only said kindly:
well, Hans, let me go upstairs and
get an old coat and we'll see what's the
matter"
When Mrs. Jones saw Mr.. Jones com

her. She OWNED what was the reason

crying, Robbie still undressed, the
house cold and Bridget in temper and
gcing to leave, she felt utterly over
vEelmed, and felt also that her hus-
bands presence would only add to the
perplexity of the situation. She had
never been accustomed to special help
or sympathy from him in her household
troubles, and so she regarded bim as he
entered the room with eyes that were
half inquiring and half resentful.
Hello, Robbie, hurry up and get

continued, "as can't get to the city this
