My Lady rose from the table and
swept gracefully from the dining
ROOM statuesque and beautiful, as
7siways.. At the door she turned and
said:
Why, certainly, have them down FOR
the holidays IL you think they would
enjoy it, My time will be so fully oc-
tupied, however, that / will not nave
much OF it to devote to them-and our
holiday atmosphere is not of the sort
Ehey are Accustomed to in the country.
Il fancy This with a smile oenoGng
weIl-bred acauiescence but absolutely
devoid Of warmth.
The man behind her, gray and
!trifie bent, with tired eyes, deep win
fkles in his face, Inclined his head with
Ia half sigh and replied:
THANK you, my dear, aad I guess
iyou are right. It would be anything
sbut merry Christmas, / fear, for the
S-irls here We seem TO have lost the
spirit of the season. l thought per
haps they might bring a little Of the
holiday cheer into the house-but you
are right, it would only spoil their
season"
Insooth it was little of the holiday
cheer that the great house had ever
known Long, long years ago, just
after they were married and when they
had lived in the humber home IN the
suburbs Christmas had been a season
OF holly and nistletoe. OF love tokens
and surprises, of turkey and cranberry
sauce and plum pudding. Especially
! after baby came there had been some
gorgeous celebrations with Christmas
trees and Santa Claus and all the
; things so dear to the heart OF child
hood But when the little one died the
shock and sorrow and the dlSappolnt-
ment and the Inconsistencies were SO
keen that it was simply impossible to
return to the old habits and ways OF
which the little one had been so es-
genital part. They had even shruak
from the ordinary manifestations OF

which served as a poignant reminder
of the loss each felt so deeply in their
very different ways.
Something of all these things was IN
the mind of each that December even

Christmas tide has come again and
all the little children are thinking
about Santa Claus. and some are won
dering if he will come to their house
this time There is hardly any rea-
son for any child to believe that he
will not come. A good many things
change in this world, but on Christ
mas Eve merry old Santa Claus is al
ways heard of-his hair as white, his
nose as red as ever; his bag of toys
Just as full; his cry down the CHM
new of Amy good children here?" just
as loud.
Kris Kringle Is another name for
Santa Claus, and a very good name
too; and stockings are not the only
things that hold toys. Little German
peasant children often set their wood
en- shoes on the hearth on Christmas
eve, pretty sure Of a cake and toy;
for children. however poor their par
ents may be, are made much of in
Germany. And in some places in Eu-
rope curious thing happens. The
mother, the father. and the rest of
the family sit about the fire together
on Christmas Eve.
All the room is tidy. The children,
half hopeful, half terrified, draw close
to mother. father, or grandmothers, as
they hear a sound Of trumpets or
horns outside. Then the mother says:
What can this be?" and opens the
door, AS she does so, a number OF
very strange looking figures come in
amongst them one person dressed in
white. with wings. and a great basket
in his hand, and another in black.
with bunch of rods.
God bless you ALL says the figure
in white. Are there any good chill
dren here?"
Are there any bad children here?"
asks the black figure.
My children are all pretty good"
the mother answers.
Il am glad to hear it, says the
white visitor. Il have gifts here for
good children"
Stop the black figure cries; they
are not good. Hans struck his broth
er yesterday. Gretchen does not know
her catechism, and Petra broke a
piece from the Sunday cake as it sat
to cool on the window-sill. will
leave rods to whip them all with
The children begin to cry. The
white figure spreads out his hands and
says:
The little ones will be better next
year Then he takes one OF the rods
from the black visitor and drives him
out. The visitors play on the instru-
ments they have brought. and the
whole family sing Christmas hymns.
The angelic visitor then empties his
basket on the table, and leaves there
a great number of iced cakes, gilded
nuts, gingerbread horses, and wooden
toys, and then departs. The mother
tells the children to be good all the
year, lest the rod should really be left
for them on the next Christmas. and
all have supper and go to bed.
Christmas day is happy one for
most children all over the Christian
world, and hope that because this is
so they will remember that this day
is kept because eighteen hundred and
eighty-one years ago, Jesus, who said,
Suffer little children, and forbid
, them not, to come unto me, for OF such
, is the kingdom of heaven was first

yuLE TIDE PROBLEMS.

Hunting for a Christmas present
For each blooming friend you know
Is a task that's far from pleasant
When your funds are running low.
1t is hard to make selections
That with joy all hearts will thrill
When you've got to make twelve section!
OF a lone ten-dollar bill.
People's wants are extensive
That they fill you with despair.
They all hope for gifts expensive.
They don't know how i'll they'll fare!
If you have a lot of money,
Buying presents is great sport,
But it's anything but funny
When your bank account is short.
