TIE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
FROM LUCILE'S DIARY

Somehow did not enjoy Christmas very much this year. Everything seem ed to go wrong and all my efforts at pleasing people failed dismally. Even grandmother, for whom I bought a nice. warm, gray flannel shoulder shawl, said with a grimace. when she put it on Christmas morning, that she felt as if she were an inmate some- where I think it was an ungraateful remark.
 I gave father a shaving glass-a splendid one with a plain mirror side and magnifying side which I got mirror was cracked a little. knew it did not destroy it's usefulness, for father never uses a magnifying glass, and I thought that if he did notice the crack he would be glad that had been so economical. He is continually warning me against extravaganza. But when he opened the box and took out the glass he said: This must have been packed very carelessly, Lucille. It's broken"
 I suppose he saw by my face that I was not surprised at the crack, for he Lucille. It's not the intrinsic value of a gift but the spirit which prompts it which makes it precious. 1 could not quite understand what he meant
 I was sure that mother would like the present I had for her because she is always in need of gloves and natu- rally believed she would be delighted with half a dozen pairs
 "Oh, Lucile,'' she said. these are very handsome. but my child, why did you get such delicate shades for your unfashionable mother? You know what need most is stout street gloves. But of course, dear, I shall enjoy a pair or two of these dressy white and light gray ones and we can exchange the others, can't we?
 NO, we can't, answered, I'm afraid, little impatiently; for it was most annoying of mother to compel me to confess that the gloves were some that Arthur Knight had brought me from Canada last summer and which I could not wear because they were a size too big for me. It did seem shame that mother was not more pleased, after I had saved the gloves for her. instead of scattering them around among my girl friends.
 The most unpleasant incident of all in my Christmas experience this year was the contretemps over Cousin Fan nie's gift. Father suggested that the family unite in giving her one very handsome present, and mother decided
