When you are selling Christmas holly

Of tinsel or one holly berry and no

enough to buy them except 1Nlo eeo-

Chrissy-her name suggested the hoi-
iday season-screwed her small face.
very white and slightly freckiea, INTO
a fair presentment of a sour pickle. II

son would hurry itself into oblivion SO
that she could get back into her regu.

all this clutter of tinsel and red bef-
ries would be out OF sight. She was ex-
ceedingly short of tongue when Mr.
Symes, manager Of the stockroom.
paused at her counter to see about the
repIenishment Of the tinsel boxes. ,@
She didn't like Mr.. Symes, anyway
being not much older than herself, but
he was g. man SO well groomed, his
hair was so Immediately brushed, MS
thin, -sallow face was SO solemn, never
marred by smile or frown, and his
manners were so painfully excenent
that few people dared remember that
he was very young. Chrissy felt that
he was one OF the fortunate people Tor
whom Christmas was intended. She
could imagine an exceedingly well
| hammered mother arranging his gifts.
She knew, as well as If she had seen
it, that his home was one of those. cor
