dear?

answered Marion. She felt a little
thrill at being called dear" Since
mammals death no one had called her
that. Marion was enchanted with the
beauty of the place. In the dining
room were birds and flowers and a
sideboard full of glittering things. The
parlor was a marvel of elegance, but
the obja-t that interested Marion most
was the piano. 81 wish could play"
she said

Mrs. Quinette, who was a fine perform

Meanwhile Mr.. Quinette arrived at
the home of the Croftroads, bringing
his strange piece Of intelligence. Yes;
they had missed Marion. but they were
not very uneasy as yet He was a
shrewd man. this Mr.. Quinette. almost
as good judge of people as he was Of
old furniture. and he had not talked
with the Croftroads very long until he
saw that it would not be hard to per-
suade them to part with Marion alto
gether.
He approached the matter very deli
cately, however; told Mr.. Croftroad
who he was and proved his respecta-
bility and business standing. He told
of his wife's longing for a little girl
and of their long cherished intention to
adopt a child. When he came home,
his face was beaming.
"Will they let Marion stay until after

Marion's fingers were blue with cold
when she had finished making the
beds. Uncle James house was an old
fashioned country dwelling without
anything of the nature of heater in
it. There was a good fire down stairs
in the dining room and one in the
great square kitchen behind it, but a
fire in a bedroom was a luxury un-
known to the Croftroads unless in
cases of sickness.
Happily none of the Croftroads were
i'll at present. Indeed, to judge by the
rollicking noise the young folks were
making in the dining room, it was evi-
dent that the opposite condition pre-
vailed to an almost alarming extent
At Stony Creek the school holidays
lasted from the week before Christmas
to New Years, and the young Croft
roads were therefore enjoying their
midwinter vacation.
"Jack, you and Jim behave your
selves" called their mother from the
kitchen. "And you. 10, quit making
such a noise. And you, Cathie and
Matilda, get to your knitting"
There was sharp note in Mrs.
Croftroad's tones: but on the whole,
her "scolding" was not very severe.

SOME DOM is
FOR CHRIS MAS.

Don't fail to make happy the Christ
mas of some needy persons of your
acquaintance.
Don't spend more than you can afford
on presents. This is good advice, and
Of course you will not take it.
Don't find fault if your presents are
duplicated, and don't tell your friend
you exchanged one duplicate at the
store for something else.
Don't hang up your bicycle stockings
or your watch.
Don't tell children under 10 years of
age that Santa Claus is a myth. This
dear old fellow is one of the most beau
tifuI delusions of childhood.
Don't urge other people to tell what
they received for Christmas if they
appear reticent Perhaps they didn't
get anything.
Don't tell some one who has sent you
a gift for Christmas that you will re-
ciprocate on New Years. Just do so,
If you wish, without announcing it.
Don't despise homemade gifts. Are
they not the work of loving hearts and
willing hands? P. S.-If your wife
gives you homemade necktie, this
doesn't go)
Don't give pictorial primers to girls
who have celebrated their twelfth
birthday Give them powder puffs In
stead.
Don't fail to smoke the new pipe
your wife gives you. Do it with osten-
tation and use the old sweet brier
when she's not around.
Don't hint to 3 person. that you are
going to give MIN or ner present in
order to prompt that person to obtain
one for yourself.
Don't try to enter locked apartment
with a burglars Jimmy in order to de-
posit a present in your sweethearts
silken hose. Her father may keep q
bulldog.
Don't lie awake all night hoping to
see various people steal into your room
and leave packages on your dressing
table. A watched pot never boils.
Don't wonder if the friend you re-
membered last year and who gave you
nothing win do the proper thing this
year.
Don't expect your neighbor to over
whelm you with thanks if you give his
youngster billygoat.
Don't give suspenders to a young
man unless you are engaged to be
married to him, and, if you are, aon.t
forget to put elastic in the suspenders.
Don't pretend that you think Christ
mas nuisance and should be abolish
ed. Just get off the earth yourself.
You never will be missed.
Don't be jealous of others whose
gifts are more numerous and elegant
than your own. They may owe larger
bills than you do.
Don't send expensive presents to new
friends and acquaintances unless you
are very wealthy.
Don't take your best girl sleigh rid
| ing behind team of colts that are only
half broken to harness. A nine mile
walk through the snow yanks all the
romance out of the affair.
Don't tell your sister that you had
intended to give her much nicer pres
ent, but had found out that the manu-
facturers could not get It finished in
time for Christmas. She may have
heard such stories before.
Don't give your wife s400 sealskin
on ST 900 salary.
Don't look box Of gift cigars in the
we'll in the label
Don't give your boy drum and then
kick because he is noisy.
Don't idly wish every day were
Christmas because you have had a
good time. One Christmas year Is
more than enough for most people.

Mrs. Quinette was in one of these

But just then the dream realized.
Up went the hanging curtain at the

trim little rosy checked maiden. The
sun shining on the auburn hair. which
was little tossed over the pure white
forehead, made halo, and Mrs. Qui-

LET TIERS TO
SANTA CLAUS.
Especial washington Letter.l

Each year thousands of children
write letters to Santa Claus and NAH
them. In large cities they are handed
to the 'fblind reader who looks after
difficult, fictitious or erroneous ad-
dresses and are then sent to Santa
CIaus-at the dead letter office. Wash
ington. Many children think Santa
lives in New York, some associate the
saint with the north pole and others
think his proper address Is in Iceland.
It was no doubt a freak of childhood
that to the words north pole" on one
envelope was added Brooklyn" A
New Orleans child addressed his letter
to "WillIe Santa Claus, New Yourk.
La" There are no return requests
placed in the upper left hand corner Of
the envelopes. which goes to show the
sublime faith the children have that
the latter simply cannot fail to reach
Santa Claus. One boy wrote:
Dear Santa Claus-My ma told me to rite to
you Please bring me gun and a pair Of ruoei
boots II you can't spare them both, plese IN
take the gun. don't mi u ef do get my feet
wet. JOHN.
Plese, / want a real gun to shoot rabbits for
our dinner You mite bring ma a red dress. Shs

Another little boy wrote the follow
ing:
wish you would kindly send me noars ark
and coruocopa full Of candy; good boy.
A Philadelphia boy wrote this letter
to ''AIr. Kriss Kingle, Northland, North
Poles"
an good little boy and don't get cross 50
please send me railroad track with trolley car
run by electricity and a policeman set and story
book But what would rather have Is baby SIS
ter than anything else.
For years the dead letter office In
Washington had an annual visitor in
the person of a rich old man who
would come a week or two before
Christmas and get 20 or 80 Of the many
letters addressed to Santa Claus. Hay-
ing made his selection of the more
modest requests. he would buy the
toys and send them to the children as
coming from their patron saint. Christ
mas came last year and went, but ne
one called at the dead letter office for
the letters. The old man was dead.

The three great features of Christ

the dinner for the older members of
the family and the children, and the
bills-the bills are for 'pa" alone. This

dinner and does not even mention the
bills. They will be looked after in due
