fFor the Children.)


The Barnes children couldn't have
any Christmas this year. They live
in the country, and there were trees
enough, to be sure. But there was
nothing to put on one to make 1t look
"sparkly," as tree ought to look, and
there was not a penny to spend for
tree trimmings.
The Barnes children, however, had
a jollier time than they had ever had
with tree. Joe said so, and George
said so, too; and Grace and Winnie
agreed with them. This is how it
was done. A delightful young auntie
lives with them. They call. her the
Lady with Bright Idea. She always
has new bright idea just in the nick
of time. but this year it did seem as If
the idea was brighter than ever. 1t
fairly shone.
We'll give the presents in a funny
way" she said to the children. eyes.
we'll give them in two or three funny
ways You'll see!"
There was very mysterious feeling
in the air Christmas morning. Every
body loked at everybody else, and then
they all smiled. Something good was
going to happen. When the breakfast

dreams, when every stir in the house

reindeer? Bring up child without
the belief in the chimney and its ca
pacity to stretch on Christmas eve?
No; thousand times no!
There's too little poetry in life now.
Let the children have all Of it they can
get. Says a recent writer: Il wish
there was a grown-up Santa Claus.
I'd love to believe in him, and I would
not thank anyone who told me he
wasn't true. I'd listen to his sleigh
bells with something very much like
rapture. I'm afraid. It wouldn't be for
the presents, either. That isn't why
the children love Santa Claus. They
love him because he means that some-
where there's great-hearted creature.

Joe shouted as he read his aloud:
