darkened nursery, With the infants little downy
head against her breast, her thoughts went
back to grandfather Somehow his Christmas pros
poets depressed her-the dark picture and the min

the rubber bags seemed unlightsome; there was
nothing from which the most willing mind could con-
jure festivity Even the perennial handkerchefs and
whisk brooms and cups and saucers failed to cheer

There could be greater contrast to the needs of

white wowy hamper showed the blue satin lined
tray, filed with miniature ivory toilet articles, and
tiny garments laced and ribboned-all the dainty ap-
panage of {" frst'' baby.
A silver and mother -of-pearl rattle and French

disapprovingy. "Why that only baby!"
"Ah that s what people call him." said Violet,
sagey ''they think he can't talk. Of course he
