But when they received a letter from
grandma, saying that she and grandpa
were going to come and spend Christ
mas vacation and Christmas with
them they were very willing to have
it Jacks way, as they loved grandma
and grandpa dearly.
Before the old folks came Jack took
the girls to the beach. They soon
learned to swim in the plunge. When
Jack said that he wanted to go fish
ing and that they must not stay there
alone, they went out to fish on the
wharf and soon forgot their disap-
pointment.
Jessie brought in large fish. The
girls were so taken up with their own
fishing that they did not think of the
time until Jack said it was time to
go, the train being due in fifteen
minutes.
They exclaimed: "Oh, is it really time
to go!" They were going home a diff
ferent way from which they came, so
it was a very interesting trip. When
they got home Jack handed his mother
the basket that they had their lunches
in. She was much surprised to find
that it was half filled with fish. The
girls showed what they had caught
Jessie only got one and nary got FIVE
Their father said: well, Mary, you
are quite a fisherman"
The next day Jack said he would
take the girls to park in the next
town, a place where the girls had never
been. They promptly said that they
would go and spent a very happy day,
having cornucopias of ice cream when
ever they wanted it. They were very
tired the next day and were willing to
stay at home until 7 O'clock in the
evening, the time that grandma was
to come Their father was at the door
with the auto and 1t was not long be-
fore the whole family was at the
depot.
Grandpa and grandma were given
a warm welcome, and when they got
home they had nice supper. After
ward Jack said there was a jubilee in
town. Grandpa jumped into the mid
die of the floor and said, "Why didn't
you tell US before?" Mamma said: ut
is not too late yet" and it was not
long before they were all having a
good time.
They had a very happy Christmas,
going auto riding, and had a very
nice dinner. All were sorry when
grandpa and grandma went home.

Honorable Mention)

''Well, girls" said their father as he
sat down to supper that night, what
plan have you decided upon?"
"Well, we think it would be a good
plan to stay home with Jack, since he
has promised us such nice things" said
Mary.
"And I think it best, too" said their
mother.
Then Jack, on being so honored by
the girls, planned a nice surprise for
them. On the Sunday morning before
Christmas, as the sun peeped into
Jacks room it found him hastily dress
ing. When he was fully dressed he
crept down stairs and out into the
stable. He walked up to Prince and
with a friendly pat on the neck led
him out into the yard. Just then he
heard the back door open, and, look
ing up, he saw his mother standing in
the doorway.
what are you doing, Jack?" she
asked.
Going to give the girls a SURPRISE"
was his response.
Jack harnessed Prince to the cart.
When he had finished he drove around
to the front and called the girls. Soon
they came scampering out to where
Jack and Prince were waiting for them.
When, Jack had told them his plan
they promised him that they would
hurry up and get ready. Jacks father
came out of the house just as the girls
went in.
where are you going, Jack?" he
asked.
81 am going to take the girls to the
beach," he answered.
The girls now appeared all dressed
up, and with their lunches. The girls
got into the buggy and away they
went.
They had nice time at the beach
and when they arrived at home they
said that it was the happiest day that
year.
The days between that happy Sunday
and Christmas seemed like years, but
finally it came and it found the chill
dren gazing at a beautiful sight-a
magnificent c. ristmas tree, filed with
toys, books. clothes. candy and other
things. FRANK TOM HOWELL,

give them their first lesson in swim
ming. Before they drove home that
afternoon Mary could swim quite WELL
Jessie was rather shy of the large
waves and would only wade about in
the shallow water.
They went to several beach teas and
parties that week and enjoyed them
selves very much. They did not take
any more swimming lessons before
Christmas, as they were kept busy
with their Christmas shopping.
At last Christmas day arrived. Early
i'm the morning the children went into
the library to get their stockings which
they had hung there the night before
to be filled with goodies.
After breakfast they all went into the
parlor to see the Christmas tree and
receive their presents. The tree was
beautifully decorated, and they re-
ceived many gifts.
Then their father said he had some
thing to tell them. The children ex-
pected to hear a Christmas story and
were very much surprised when their
father told them of a pool. sick woman
with two little children living a few
blocks away. The family lived in one
room, and had nothing to eat.
He asked the children if they would
like to share their Christmas with
them. It was decided that the poor
children should come and spend Christ
mas day with Mary and Jessie. Some
things were taken to the sick woman
to make her comfortable.
Mary and Jessie were very kind to
the little girls and gave them many
of their presents. When the little chill
dren were taken home they looked very
happy.
That night as the family sat around
the tree the children all agreed it was
the happiest Christmas they had ever
known VELORA PELTIER.

HJHE girls 1isliked to give their in

Il cluded that by staying at home
they would please their parents and at
the same time have the protection of
Brother Jack. After breakfast on
Christmas morning Jack hitched up the
pony. and with the girls drove over to
grandma's to take to her the presents
which Santa Claus had left fer her.
When they returned Jack put the pony
out to Craze and said, Now, girls, we
are going to Venice" And in a snort
time they were on their way to the

them. Upon their arrival they went

After Jack was out quite a while a

in time? The girls held their breath.
There! Thank Cod One of the swim

Look! There he comes! See there!

ABOUT GoURDs

In Whittier's poem of the Pumpkin"
occur the lines:
40 greenly fair in the land of the sun
The vines of the gourd and the rich
melon run"
And while we are grateful enough to
the melon, we are prone to despise its
ancestor, the gourd, and their common
relation, the calabash, and all those
wonderful wild members of the Gu
cumber family.
Our present ideas of bottles, dippers
and many household utensils are de-
rived directly from this natural growth,
and even the beautiful pottery and or
naments of our latter day We owe to
the same origin. Grant Allen, the Eng
fish scientist, says: probably mans
earliest lesson in the fictile art was
accidental: savages putting water to
warm in a gourd over a fire would
smear wet clay on the bottom to keep
it from burning, and when the clay was
fine enough 1t would bake hard in
shape and be used again and again I'M
til the original gourd was burnt out "
And so perhaps the common origin of
gourds and mans ceramic efforts would
lead to a better understanding of the
common origin of man himself.
Everybody is familiar with the sacred
gourd that protected Jonah, but 1t is
not fair to let our interest die with
that remarkable vine. Our grandmoth-
ers used to train them in shapes to
make ornaments, tying strings about
them while small and causing them to
take fanciful or useful shapes. Then
they would cover them for pincushions
or paint the outside and put them in
the guest room for vases. dippers, etc.
Many of them are beautifully colored
and. serve as hanging baskets for vines
and flowers.
The cucumber, pumpkin, melon - all
these, too, are members Of the same
family, but they are the aristocrats;
the present plea Is for their poor rela-
ton, the quaint, old-fashioned gourd.

Christmas and New Years with
a friend in the mountains. Jack
wanted them to stay at home
with him and go about for nice
street car rides and drive the
pony and cart about the lovely
rural roads.
He promised that he would de-

if they would stay at home, and
even offered to take them to the
beach and teach them to swim.
Father and mother told them
to take their choice about the
place, but they must go together

Little Harold often wonders
How he'll ever get along,
For 1t seems he always blunders
into something awful wrong.
When he plays he scrapes his nose.
Or else his ball rolled down the drain,
II little stone he throws
1t goes and breaks window pane
II he wants to see the fish
And tits the globe UP just bit,
He manages to crack the dish
And spill the water out OF It,
Then comes father with his strop,
Mother follows with her slipper,
Grandma'S yardstick makes him hop,
Uncle's hairbrush is a clipper
Grandma has a dog. She said
He lived on love. he does, perhaps.
When Harold heard he shook his head
And sighed, 81 guess live on slaps."

home this Christmas, for mamma had
invited grandma and grandpa and the
children's cousins, named Eva ana

father. from Chicago.
The girls did not get impatient, but
spent much of their time planning
what to get with their money for their
friends who were coming. Both of the
girls had saved up SO toward Christ
mas things.
Their mother gave them holly ribbon
to tie the things up with. They took
great pains in tying them UP, and
then carefully laid them away to
await Christmas.
Their mother got each of the girls a
nice doll and gocart.
On the morning before Christmas
the folks came. On the same day the
fat turkey was killed and dressed and
the pies made, while Jack got a tree.
After dinner mamma and grandma
and auntle trimmed the tree, while the
children played SNOWFALL. Thew were
all called into the parlor and, oh! the
tree was all lit up by tiny electric
lights, and 1t was full of presents.
Afterward they went to a nice play
about Christmas. 1t was fine.
On Christmas morning they were all
up early, and after breakfast the chill
dren went skating on the river, while
the others were helping with the great

AS they could not both go to one
place they decided to take Jacks offer
and stay at home. For a few days
they had dull time, but about week
before Christmas girl a little older
than Mary came to visit the family
next door.
After that Mary and Jessie had no
more dull days, because Lucy, the new
girl, kept something doing all the time.
She began making plans for Christmas
by asking her aunt whom she was
visiting, if they could have Christ
mas tree. Her aunt consented, so Lucy
taught Mary and Jessie some pieces
and songs, of which she knew great
number. When the Christmas tree was
delivered the day before Christmas
Lucy begged her aunt to let the girls
trim it, but her aunt was a little
doubtful; nevertheless she let them do
it, The three worked all afternoon
trimming the lower branches while the
aunt trimmed the top. Jack. under
Lucy's directions, stretched rope
across half the room and Mary begged
some sheets from her mother to put
on it. So they had curtain for their
stage Mary and JeSsie's father and
mother were invited over TO hear the
pieces and songs that the girls had
learned. Toward the end of the pro-
