lBy B. c. Forbes in New York Americana
Discomfort an be a elixir.
Or it may be a poison.
It can spur, inspire and ennobe us.
Or it may wien u.s., eat out our vita1s and make us a curse to
ourselves and to others.
Discomfort with ourselves, with III itteness, III lack Of scmeve-
me.t. is apt to prove healthy and stimulating.
Discomfort with others usually indicates shortcomings in ourselves.
The heart full of chariabeness, unselishness and determination to
do good can see similar qualities in others.
The malcontent, the person who finds nothing but unworthiness,
selGshness and all manner OF blemishes in others, oftentimes possesses
just such fault.
We mirror the world in III own hearts and souls.
The picture is largely of our own making.
If in US are beautiful lenses the picture will not be unbeautfu1.
Only W e ourselves can furnish and decorate the mansion house OF
II mind.
If we fill it with things that are ugly, if W e a find in the void
nothing but unworthy objects, then the fault is likely to be ours rather
than the worlds.
We usually find the things we are looking for.
And W re grow upon what w e feed.
Meetest thou a man who declares that all the world is awry and
that all the PEOPLE n it are mere elfseekers-then flee such a one,
Tor he ces only what his W perverted, uncharitable mind has con-
iured up.

Why We Burn Candles.

The custom of burning candles on
the Christmas tree comes from two
sources. The Romans burned candles
at the feast OF Saturn as a sign of good.
cheer, while the Jews burned candles
during the feast of the Dedication
which happened to fall about the same
time as that Of Saturn in the Roman.
calendar. 1t is quite possible that
for this reason there would have been
many candles burning all over Pales-i
tine about the time of the birth of
Christ, and from this comes the term,
Feast Of Lights" which is the name;
used in the Greek church for Christ

THE MYSTERY OF CHRISTMAS
One Day of the Year That Al Other
Days Are Learning to- Envy
~aHd~Imftate.

It seems to nae that always, as the
Gath of December commenced to
shorten, the white, feeey snow began
to fall, says a writer In the Crafts
man. When the street lamps flick
cred up like candies on ahtaltar, they
gazed on a wor1d~that wasWhite. The
strife of the city was muMed.. Carts
went by, but you had to- peer out
through the blinds to know that they
were passing-they made no sound.
An atmosphere Of gentleness had de-
scended. Everyone in the house went
about with stealth, as though planning
some secret kindness.
And then the night and the trying
to keep awake till Santa Claus should
come. And the waking up, with the
frost weaving patterns on the panes.
Somewhere far away. harp was be-
ing played, and a cornet was chaIleng-
ing the silence. The tune they played
was an accompaniment to the most
beautiful legend in the world. At
first, dreamily, you tried to remember
why for once the darkness was not
frightening, and then, "Ah, it's Christ
mas!" AS you turned, your feetfmade
the paper crack, and al the end of the
bed you were too content and happy
even to look at your presents. Why
was it that next day everybody and
everything was different? The air was
full Of bells singing riotously. Every
one, for this day, ceased to think
of his own happiness and found hap
piness in bringing oheerfulness to
others. The stern guilt which Is liked
between children and grown-ups had
vanished-there weren't any grown
/ ups. Somewhere in your childish
heart you wondered why every day
| eeuldnt be made q day OF kindness. !
And that wonder of a child's heart
Is the Christmas message. Once 9
year, by a divine conspiracy, all the
ships of our hopes and fears turn back
from their yoyagings to the harbor Of
tenderness. They are borne back on
he crest Of e white tide Of mysticism
that sweeps round the world. A truce
Of God is declared to all fghtings, and
men and women walk a. children
through a world that is kind. They
commence to give and cease to annex;
they act IN the belief that God is In
his heaven. The spirit is one tremu-
lous white day Of unselishness5a day
which gradually some other days In
the year are learning to envy and imi-

1 began to feel sorry for friend wife.
Nobody seemed to be very much in

present or not.
On the fourth floor l stopped at a
counter where a lot Of eager danes
were paving over some chinchilla rib
bon and chiffon overskirts.
It reminded me of the way an emo

The young lady cut out the giggles
and pointed to the northwest.
/ went over there.
To my surprise 1 found another
counter.
A pale young woman was behind it.
I was just about to ask her the fatal
question when a young man wearing
q ragtfme expression on his face
rushed up and said 3to the pale young
lady behind the counter: 81 am look
ing for a suitable present for a young
lady friend of mine with golden brown
hair. Could you please suggest some
thing?"
The pale young woman showed her
teeth and answered him in a low,
rumbling voice, and the man went
away.
Then came an old lady who said: 81
bought some ,organdie dress goods for
a shirt waist last Tuesday, and would
like to exchanged them for a music box
for my daughters little boy, Freddie,
if you pleased"
The pale young woman again showed
ner teeth and the old lady dueked for
cover.

up to the pale young woman and then
rushed away again, I went over and
