"Wallingford! How in the name of

| A weight of relief fell from Walling-

stranger in a strange house. And did
he imagine it, or did a glad light come
also into the eyes of the woman?

Too bad Vale couldn't get here"

when. the small boy having been
tucked into bed, the three sat about
the blazing fire.
"Yes-we would have made a jolly
quartet" said Sylvia.
Wallingford was almost guilty OF
gasp. The calm. unconcerned way in
which she remarked that her husband
would have completed a quartet on
Christmas eve had he been able to get
there, was rather disconcerting.
Dick Elkins arose and left the room

When she returned to her own coun.'
try 1t was to take up her profession Of
tutoring-but In the country this time.
She found home in the rectory Of an
old church. The minister was a family
friend. and she went into the family
to tutor his two children with the priv.
ilege OF having few others during
odd hours in the week.
She spent many happy days with the
cAildren; she taught them everything
she knew how to teach them, from
reading and spelling to French and
German. but, most OF al, she taught
them the love of Mother Nature.
The holidays were drawing near and

planning for the Christmas tree in the
church, making odds and ends to give
to friends. For the time, she was al
most forgotten.
But when Christmas eve had come
and gone and she sat in the small con-
servatory of the rectory on Christmas
afternoon when the children. tired
from play. had gone to take an after
noon nap and the good rector with his
wife had gone and done likewise,
Eleanore began to have that lonely
feeling deep within her. She looked
out of doors where tiny snowfakes
were just beginning to blow here and
there as forerunners of a glorious
Yuletide snowstorm.
Suddenly, as IL to ward off the blues,
she sought her cloak and gloves. She
would go out in it If only because she
could!
Outside. she struck out briskly to-
ward the churchyard where the fir
trees We're green. There was much OK
the yard that was made up of beauti-
ful parkways with wonderful blue
spruce trees mingled with the old
fash1oned green Christmas tree.
1t was toward these trees that she
walked and with every breath of the
soft. moist air, she felt invigorated.
The caress of each tiny snowflake as it
touched her cheek was sweet to the
girl who loved nature.
Presently, ahead Of her, she saw a
group of boys. They seemed to be look
ing up at a great green FIR tree and
listening to a man who stood In their
midst.
Eleanore drew near. None of the lit
tie group had seen her as she walked
softly on the snow covered grass. The
man-her heart beat wildly-was
George Davidson.
Suddenly, as if he felt her presence,
he turned. You" he cried, 'Eleanore."
Then, as if remembering the boys, he
said. Boys. want to introduce you
all to Miss Marvelle. Perhaps she can
tell you more than can about-Christ-
mas trees"
Eleanore acknowledged the introduc-
ton to each bareheaded lad even while
her hand was still in the big warm one
of George Davidson.

The romantic moving picture

The hero prints long and langutsh.

but 1t strikes the eye with shock.
In the real drama you know 1t is

But when the moving picture hero
and heroine kiss 1t Is as homogeneous

graphs to osculate in the old family
album.
There are no tender speeches to
prepare one for the kiss. There are
no audible signs. no murmured terms
OF endearment. 1t is a brazen oc-
currence.
Besides, you can see that the NOV
ing picture hero and heroine realize
that while an audience will watch the
kiss and then forget 1t. the moving
picture machine will go on showing II
for years.
The kiss Is not always SUCCESSFUL
on the real stage; the moving picture
demonstrates that it should be per
mitted to retain its place as strictly
bi-personal proposition.
