was the most conventional thing that

affection, and Mr.. Payson regarded
any display of affection as one of the
crude symptoms of barbarous taste.

managed to make out a rather merry
Christmas. Instead OF that, he was
condemned to go out and purchase
gifts and be as cheaply idctic as the
other wretched mortals with whom he
was being carried along. No wonder
that he chafed and rebelled and vainly
wished that he could hang crepe on
every Christmas tree in the universe.
Mr.. Sidney Payson hated his task
and he Eas puzzled by it. After wan

in at 30 windows he had been unable
to make one selection. 1t seemed to
hina that all the articles offered for
sale were singularly and uniformly in

was a farce in itself, and the storekeep-
