ON GFTRISTMAS EVE
By Clinton Dangerield

When through the Christmas crowds you idly pass,
Halt for a few scant moments and review
The ever-thrOnging masses, where the gleam
OF Christmas gores flashes out at YOU
From plate-2lass windows which, invioate.
Guard the December treasures spread in state.
See how the observers mark with smiling eyes
These Christmas riches, while their fingers steal
To their full purses, cherished till this time
That Love by gifts to loved ones may reveal
The utmost measure of their generous bliss
Ave look that Then turn and look on thisl
\ child who shrinks half hidden in the crowd,
Whose ewes with sitting vcarning are aglow,
Whose thin and itching fingers vainly twist
Against her empty palms in quiet woe,
Lacking the toy, which seems to YOU so small,
The gaudy toy which is Joys all in all
For her own nakedness naught covets she.
Her souls athrst for the bright perfect gift:
The rainbow-clad crude doll whose blessed form
Another's happy Ct hands shall lift
And bear away to Groom above and sing
All life to such a one must be a lovely thing
So ponders she on stick-like legs still wriggling
With stick-like arms which still must empty be,
Unless a miracle her way be passing,
And nothing OF such miracles hears she,
Spared hope deferred at least. she fingers there,
Hiding the fullness OF her child despair
Tn unconscious babe had gifts. Too conscious she
That she has naught. But YOU who onward press,
1t may be yours to shape the miracle
1t may be yours to see Joys lovelness
Flush her thin face in her you lay
The precious toy-her flower OF Christs dear dayl

Il rather wanted some one to look after.
1T would have been pleasant too if you had

one to look after me.
Unfortunately" he said, 'we're as we are.
There's no way out of it
No" she agreed.
In the evening they had music, and after
ward he taught her billiards. though he pointed
out the game could not be learned properly in less
than month
''If YOU had been staying here altogether, he
observed regretfuly it would have been different.
1T is pity" she declared
"a great pity he agreed.
She appeared exceedingly attractive as she stood
under the light chalking her cue elaborately. The
pity of it struck him fOrCibly.
She was downstairs first Christmas morning,
and found the brooch beside her plate. So she
ran back to her room and brought the rack.
You would have made me quite tidy, he said,
''if you had been as young as a little girl should
You would have quite spoiled me- she re-
Joined If YOU had been as old as professor ought
to be"
He smiled rt1efullv and said that they must
make the best of one another as they were; and
she smiled back and said that her difficulty was
to know what the best.
They went to church in the morning and for
long walk in the afternoon, and in the evening
they played cards and billiards and sang; and
last of all they talked across the fire She ad-
mired him because he knew much, and he adj
1nired her because she knew little. So they
were both satisfied.
1T ha- been the pleasantest of days the
professor vowed, when she was going off to bed
my dear big baby!"
THE pleasantest of days" she echoed saucily
from the door, my dear young Professor!"
The professor looked at himself in the glass
and shook his head. IF | were Older-Or yOunger!
he muttered. I'm not old, really. Perhaps
Tut tut! I'd better get back to my books to-
morrow. She's nothing but child.
When tomorrow came, however, he decided
that it was his duty to devote himself to his guest
during her short visit. The following day they
had to prepare for the party in the evening; SO
of course he could not work then She made
festoons of many-colored paper, and he hung
them up and put holly and evergreens as she
directed him. He was only a learner, and she was
"a professor in parties she said.
