 The conversation of these two char

 not too much so to peruse with the
 greatest interest. We must pass over
 the story of the wedding, which was
 the day before Christmas event at
 Dingley Dell. at which Mir Pickwick
 distinguished himself by a felicitous
 speech, and get to the story of the
 dance. Dickens description of the old
 sitting room is q gem:
 The best sitting room at Manor Farm
 was. good long, dark paneled room. :, with high chimney piece and capacious chimney, up which you could have driven one of the new patent cabs, wheels and all. At the upper end of the room. seated Ein shady bower of holly and ever T greens were the two best fiddlers and the only harp in Muggleton. In all sorts of recesses and on all kinds of brackets Astood massive old silver candlesticks with -four branches each The carpet was up, lthe candles burned bright. the fire blazed and crackled on the hearth. and merry
 voices and light hearted laughter rang Ethrough the room. If any of the old English yeomen had turned into ialries swhen they died, 1t was just the place In which they would have held their revels. @ After the dance was over, MT. Pick Swick having acquitted himself with great credit, the reader is told about the doings in the famous old kitchen. SHere hung the mistletoe and did It's Emission we'll in adding to the jollity sof the occasion. The artist whose pic lures appear on his pages has done ex- scellent justice to Dickens text:

A christmas Sentiment.

However sincere we may be in our efforts to spread Christmas cheer. our charity is none the less a testimony to our sense of the fact that peace and good will have not come upon the earth. Poverty and wretchedness are not to be offset by yearly gifts of bas. kets of food and outgrown clothes.
 We ought to make the spasmodjc kindliness of Christmas one of the eonstant forces of our industrial world.
 Equality and fraternity are born not q charity. but of justice.
