Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am going
with a young man who clerks in a
department store. He seems to care
great deal for me Lately he has
been asking me 10 call him up while
he is at work or drop in to see him.
At first I thought / would not. But
every time I see him he asks why
do not and acts real hurt. AS long
as he has asked me OF his own ac-
cord don't you think it would be all
right for me to do it?

A clerk who is interrupted by tele-
phone calls and visits from girls dur

away to school While he was away
he seemed entirely to forget me, be-
cause Of the first four weeks Of our
separation I did not hear from him at
all. He did not even send me a Christ
mas present, and he had always done
so before-that is, for three years
while we were going together.
Now the boy has come back from
school for the summer and he wants
to go with me again. He isn't the same
that he used to be- Although I love
him. I do not feel that he returns the
love. He likes to kiss me and put his
arms around me, but he doesn't seem
sincere and he doesn't talk about when
we will be married the way he used to.
And he is going with another girl,
too. One night my girl friend and 7
went to the picture show and we saw
him there with her. And another day
I met him face TO face with her in

My little child comes to my knee
And, Juggling, pleads that he may climb
Into my lap to hear me tell
The Christmas tale beloved SO we'll
A tale my mother told me,
Beginning "Once upon a time"
1t is a tale of skies that rang
With angel rhapsodies sublime;
Of that great host, serene and white
The shepherds saw one wintry night
And of the glorious stars that sang
An anthem once upon a time
This story of the hallowed years
Tells of the sacrifice sublime
OF one, who prayed alone and wept
While his wearied followers slept
And how his blood and Mary's tears
Commingled, once upon a time.
And now my darling at my side
And echoes Of the distant chime
Bring that sweet story back to me,
Of Bethlehem and Calvary,
And of the gentle Christ who died
For sinners once upon time.
The mighty deeds that men have told
In ponderous tones Of fluent rime
Like misty shadows fade away,
, But this sweet story bides for aye
And, like the stars that sang of old.
We sing of "Once upon time"

when Eve plucked the fatal apple the
leaves of the tree Immediately shriv-
eled into needle points and it's bright
green turned dark. The nature of the
tree changed, and it became an ever
green, in all seasons preaching the
story of mans fall through that first
act Of disobedience Only on Christ

and become beautiful with love gifts.
The curse is turned into a blessing by
the coming of the Christ Child, and
thus we have our Christmas tree.
The visits of st. Nicholas to the
homes of the people on Christmas eve
as an annual custom grew out of a
festival in honor Of Hertha, Morse

was decorated with evergreens. and
an altar of stone was set up at the
end of the hall where the family as

our word "hearthstone.'' On the

was supposed to descend and influence
