SaIly'S Christmas Gift
A True Story.

It was Christmas Eve in the Chill
drens Hospital, and the queen of the
party that gathered around the Christ
mas tree was Sally.
Not all the children could be there.
Some were moaning in their cots: but
a good number were able to come on
their two feet, while some hobbled
on crutches. and others sat in the half
circle of cribs in front of the tree.
Little brown Sally, was in the CEN
ter crib. On the glistening tree hung
a gift for everybody in the hospital
no candy, for hospital babies do not
have candy. There was something
for Sally, too, but she could not guess
what.
She was the only "darkey" baby in
the room, and the crowd conferred
around her, and peals Of laughter went
up every time she shook her woolly
head, and set all the pig-tails with
their scarlet rlbobns bobbing.
Her merry little face peeped out
above a gorgeous red jacket. and her
eyes danced with mischief and delight
She had an answer for every question
and smile for everybody. and she
gave her orders like an empress to her
willing subjects.
Oars Sanity I seed him fust. Deed
m / did"
And right she was. for in bounced
n jolly, fat old man, heavy with furs,
cotton-batting snow and a great pack
There was a jingle OF sleigh-bells out
side the door that did not escape
Sally.
Denis de reindeahl Don you heah
de bells? Let 'em come I'M" but this
order was not obeyed, for there was
no room for reindeer In the crowded
place.
Hey, children, Merry Christmas"
cried Santa: and a rousing cheer was
led of by one OF the young doctors
Then all attention was turned 20 the
tree. A. the names we're called, each
speechless and shiny-eyed child re-
ceiyed a beautiful Rlft.
sally's turn came after a while. and
her delight was unbOundcd when
Santa. with hie own furry hands, pre-.
scented her with n dolly dressed ln pink

unloading of the tree, and who had
led the cheering, was astonished at
receiving a doll, very black as to COM
plexion and woolly as to hair.
The young doctor laughed then a
happy thought struck him.
Here, SALLY" he cried, "here's one
of your kind and he tossed it to the
brown beauty in the crib.
Sally looked up, saw the black doll,
and in an instant change came over
her. Her black eyes snapped and a
fierce rage filed her little soul.
Il won't had it," she shrieked.
Take it away! It's niggah--a brack
niggah!"
She tossed it to the farthest corner
of the crib, and with her arms still
around the white dolly, burst into
passionate weeping. The nurse in
charge wisely left her to herself, and
the sobs soon ceased.
Out of the corner of her eye Sally
looked to see If any one was noticing,
but the crowd was watching the hap
pier children. Slowly the instincts of
race and motherhood asserted them
selves.
A small brown hand crept furtively
toward the far corner of the crib,
small fingers twined around the wool
ly locks, and the pale-faced dolly Drop
ped from her embrace.
You all ma own brack baby" she
crooned, and then, very low, she hum
med:
"Rocky-bye baby, in de tire top,
When de win blows de CRADLE mus
rock,
When de bough breaks de CRADLE will
fall,
An down comes baby, cradle an ALL"
The Christmas tree, the lights, the
fun. were nothing more to her. She
held to her heart the beloved child OF
her own race and color.

New York. Dec. 24.-wealth rather

fewer illusions than the child from

fashion peculiarly its own, which in
cludes but few of the old customs and
traditions followed by their grand
parents, IL fortunate enough they be
to have possessed ancestors worth
mentioning.

children of the rich seldom pass this
holiday In the drawing room with their
parents, but the parents visit the nurs-

hard not to look bored. and then hur-
~ away TO their own pleasures.
In most of the homes Of the very
rich no celebration Of the day is visi-
bic on the surface save holly wreaths
hung I'm the windows and red and
green decorations on the dinner table.
At no time OF the year are the fash

comprise the smart set, and Il Is most
correct for popular pair TO give
Christmas dinner at o'clock In one
of the white and gold private rooms

English manner Of passing Christmas
out of town, and some of the most

taking with them a large party of
guests. After leaving the city of steel

Of the old-time traditions and proba-
bly, the house parties of Mrs. Ogden
Mills approach more nearly to the
Ideal Christmas than any other. Mrs.
Mills has a fine old estate at Stats
burg-on- the Hudson, and invariably
she, her daughters and her close
friends have the jolliest sort of cell
ebration.
A rival Christmas party along the
same lines Is given at OphIr Hall near
White Plains where Mr.. and Mrs.
Whitelaw Reid live. Mrs. Reid is
sister-in-law Of Mrs. Mills, and both
have the same idea Of entertaining. 1t
is tradition that on every Christ
mas Mr.. Mills presents his wife with
jewel that staggers even the PAM
pered friends of the Mills family. For
instance. last year Mrs. Mills Christ
mas gift was a REVERE OF diamonds
that covered her neck and shoulders
like a small cape. The previous
Christmas she received am all-round
crown OF diamonds which is the high
est tiara In the Metropolitan Opera
House.
Gems for Millionaire wives.
Millionaires usually give their wives
marvellous gems which are displayed
for the first time at the opera during
the first week In January. Last
Christmas Mrs. John Jacob Aston re-
ceived from her husband a plastron
OF diamonds that covered her bodice.
These plastrons are the newest set
