MOTHERS CHRISTMAS
Bv SUSAN HUBBARD MARTIN

There were three girls Of them, all
merry, light-hearted and thoughtless,

was upon them. For one thing, moth

ralgic attack that somehow was be-

Just given them their Christmas al
lowance, for it was the 18th of Novem-
Der, and they had already begun to
plan for the great day.
Girls" he had said, as he handed
each one a crisp $40 bill, "this year
you must really make this do. Don't
spend it and expect more, for it will
not be forthcoming. Times are hard,
money not easy to get and necessary
expenses must be met, so remember
that while we all love Christmas, as
indeed we ought, yet we are not ex-
pected to give more than we are able.
Peace on earth, good will to men,
means more than mad rush at bar
gain counters, when one endeavors to
make $40 do the work of SIS. We all
try to do too much, and under the
strain the sweet old merry Christmas
OF long ago has lost its charm"
He had put on his overcoat and gone
out, and Mag, Joyce and Fan sat and
looked at one another.
I've simply got to give Bess more
expensive present than 1 did last

the fire. Just imagine my humilia-
ton Christmas day when she sent me

given her was little picture in a

girl remembered the patient figure in
the worn slippers that went about a
ceaseIess round Of duties day by day,
with no thought of relaxation Of en-

fathers meals must be on time, the
girls must have their company and
their holidays. There was little time
or money left for her when three
young girls were properly fed and
clothed. And as Mag, Fan and Joyce
looked at the patched, threadbaro
wrapper, it told a tale more eloquent
than any words, representing to these
