Thad's tree was dressed, the gifts

"WeH, 1 can't honestly say 1 blame

Finally. December came. and the ten
dencies of absenteeism on the part of
the servants showed no signs of abate-

wanted to, but because they had to.
Cook couldn't let her relatives go unat-

John, as long as Deanis was on hand

Mr.. Perkins was dissatisfied To tell
the truth. John had recently imbibed

quite incapable of understanding why,

he saw MT to do so.
Thaddeus. seeing that Bessie was
very much upset by the condition of
affairs. had said little about it since
Thanksgiving Day. when he had said
about as much as the subject war
