AROUND THE CITY
This is the reign of the bundle.

This is the reign of the bundle.
Every package in the arms of a man or
woman, these days, is a sermon; and the
| text is peace and goodwill. For fifty weeks
| in the year the bundle is a pariah to be
scorned Of fashionable women and lodged
| by the best of men. But this is the season
| that the spirit of Christmas claims as her
| very own. She has cast enchantment over
shops and glamour on parcels. She has
given merry jests and iovial grins to the
crowds that pack the stores from doors to
| counters, and with gracious wand she has
| touched the heart Of human nature and
made the world akin.
| There are always exceptions. Here is one
of them:
A homely woman in black mohair came
out of big department store, carrying a
| rather ponderous package. AS she crossed
| the pavement she was stopped by another
. woman in a blue velvet gown and toque
and stole of marabout feathers.
For goodness sake, Nancy Blank! What
are you doing with that bundle! Why didn't
you have it sent?"
"Oh, it wasn't worth while. All the
stores have signs posted requesting Gus
toners to carry small bundles during the
Christmas rush. and the cars take me
You are certainly considerate! .nfortu-
| nately for me-" with an elaborate shrug
| that called attention to every stitch Of
finery on her back. my position is such
| that cannot afford to carry bundles"
And the mohair woman clipped back:
Fortunately for me. my position is such
! that l can afford to carry bundles"
The man who overheard. supposed that
| the women were about to hand each other
their passports, but as the blue velvet and
black mohair continued to mingle folds
| fraternally, he gave up waiting for hostili-
| ties and went about his affairs.
A tiny boy with one eye bandaged and the
other shaded by smoked glass kneit on
| car seat and looked out of window. He
was Joyous little fellow. but the man with
| him had an anxious face. and answered the
child's questions in voice as tender as a
woman's.
| Suffering Is as common as life, SO that
| the only thing particularly noticeable about
this particular boy was that his condition
and the merry way he took it made wom-
an opposite say Ito the man beside her:
| 'You won't hear me complain again. I've
