wv RHAT did you do on Christ
XAI mas-spend the day with your
rich relations or ask your
poor relations to spend the
day with you?
That reminds me OF a question a cer-
tain friend Of mine always asks on GER
tain occasions. About once a year this
friend and I get together and have din
ner quite alone. A nice, cosy, quiet,
comfortable little dinner-with shaded
lights and the soup she fancies and the
dessert ! like-and we talk of every
thing and everybody and every pIace
we've been and all the places we'd like
20 50 and can't. and decide about them.
We wonder again why the handsome
young Vassar girl we both know mar
ried the more than middle-aged grocer
from q country town, who says 81
haven't went" and Il seen it"-we'ye
heard him do 1t, both of us.
The grocer Is rich, but not nearly so
rich as the Vassar girl in her own right.
And every year we wonder about IT,
and then we wonder why Mary sticks
to John, when John is so evidently tired
OF her, and why on earth Susan and
Matilda insist on living together, just
because they're relatives, when they'o
both be so much happier apart.
Two Kinds of People.
And, some time along toward bedtime
when we've got our hair down and
brushes in our hands and the fire in
the big bedroom lit, We get to the GER
tain question.
And that always is this:
Which kind of people do you hate
the worst? The ones who are nice tc
you when you're rich and successful
and UP in tine world, and they think
you might invite them to a party oI
something, or the ones who are all riEh,
when you are poor and they can pat
lonize you, and all wrong when you r,
doing well and people ask you to din
ner, and forget them?"
We never Quite settle the question.
