rushed through the corridors and
laughter sounded all around, but a
great shadow of sorrow rested over
me, and my eyes burned as bent over
my work. Finally the messenger
brought me the last few Mikes of the

Mrs. Jobson's Tact
A CHRISTMAS STORY

While making her Christmas-shop-
ping rounds the other day, Mrs. Jobson
espied, in a furrier's window, a squirrel
coat which she instantly concluded was
just about right.
THAT" said Mrs. Jobson to herself,
amiably. but determinedly squaring her
chin, will be my Christmas present from
Mr.. Jobson.'
Whereupon she entered the furrier's
establishment and tried on the squirrel
coat. 1t fitted her perfectly.
You may considerth he coat Sold said
Mrs. Jobson to the furrier. But place
it back in the window. ] shall want my
husband to see it there. BY the way, ]
wish you would drape it on a window
model with dark hair, instead of on that
blond model-my hair is dark, you
know" and the furrier perfectly entered
into the meaning of her smile and smiled
back. 81 shall pay you $40 on the coat
now, to bind the bargain. When my hus-
band pays you the full price of the coat
which he will, within a few days-why,
l shall have you return the SO TO me-"
"Oh, | understand, thoroughly,
madam said the %furrier. with another
shrewd smile.
That evening. at the dinner table, Mrs.
Jobson, by imperceptible stages. led ths
talk around to the subject OF Christmas,
and MI. Jobson looked surprised, and
thenthoughtful, when she had impressed
upon him the nearness of the great fes-
tival.

why the Holiday II Always Gale

There are no definite ~aIlusions In the
writings of any Of the disciples Of

in the year when Christ was born.
There are, very true. occasional refer

indicating that the nativity occurred In
the winter season.
The institution of. the anniversary
dates back to the second century Of
Christendom. and it has been sIpce
uniformigs celebrated by nearly eli
brancheg-of the Christian church with
appropriate rejoicings and ceremonies.
The frequent, and somewhat heated,
controversies, however, relative to the
date Of Christ's birth early In the
fourth century led Pope Julius I. 10
order a thorough Investigation or the
subject by the learned theologians and
historians OF that period. which result
ed in an agreement upon December as.
and that decision seemed to have 30
settled all disputes that that date WIS
universally accepted except by tho
Greek church, say the American
Queen. While this date was never
changed. the reckoning Of it Is made
according TO the Gregorian calendar
which was adopted in the latter part
Of the sixteenth century, and upon
which computations of time in nearly,
all civilized nations have since rested.
