thank you, want 10 thank you all,
and every one of you, for the lovely
present you sent me, and for remem-
berin' an old woman like me. When
it come, and read the card, From the
boys of the old town. the boys Of the
boys used to know, for guess knew
all your fathers, I told them to put it
here, and I would set in it and wait
until you come. Amt you Will
Stearns?"
"Yes," stammered the chairman,
quite undecided what to say or do.
II thought so. My, how you favor
your father! And I was ut your
christenin'. I guess that was about
the last time I was anywhere when
my rheumatic got so bad. And your
father would "a been proud Of you
this day. If he could known what you
was goin' to do for an old friend Of his,
God rest him!'
At the mention of his father, the
chairman was astonished to find his
hat still on his head. He pulled it off,
that head went fitting first a quick
memory of his father and then the
most astonishing thing in the world
his carefully-prepared speech to the
bride. He had said it over so many
times to himself in secret that after
noon, to make sure he would not break
down when the moment came, that now
everything else seemed to have van
ished. Then an even more astonishing
thing happened. 1t astonished him,
and it quite paralyzed the other young
men.
That presentation speech, altered by
but word here and there as he stum-
bled and steered away from the inap-
propriate phrase, came falling from
his lips.
"And for many year," he finished,
''may you sit by your own tireside as
the shadows of life lengthen, with this
chair to give you comfort and to re-
mind you of the boys of the old town"
There was nothing for the rest to do
but applaud that speech, to wish
''Merry Christmas!" over and over, to
bend the head for that venerable God
bless your and to go quietly away.
The car was turned westward again
before any man spoke word. Then
it was Will Stearns:
"Well, what do you know about
that?"
'There's nothing for them now, but
we can scare up something tomorrow
and say nothing about this" said an
other.
But someone told one of the girls
who knew all about the chair, and at
the collation. the whole story came out.
Will Stearns was even made to stand
up and give that speech. And the
bride declared, and, bless her dear
heart! everybody believed her, that she
was glad it had turned out just the
way it did.
| Somebody remembered the old lady's
name, and then somebody else remem.
bered that it was said that her father
was the man who planted those elms
on Elm street in the early days OF
the town. The bride announced that
she was going over to see the dear old
soul.
She did 60, and often, and her nurs
ing did much to ease that rheumatic
When Harry and Harriet moved into
the big house they now occupy, a paper
circulated among the old residents
bought the bungalow at q bargain
price. There the pioneer was moved
by ''the boys of the old town." where
she could be under the shade of the
elms her father planted. There, fol-
she was wonderfully spry old lady
she may be living to this day.

OLDEST CHRISTMAS CUSTOM
Decorating Houses, Churches and
Streets With Evergreen Popular
Since Dawn Of History.

ERHAPS the very Oldest of all
Christmas customs is that Of
decorating our houses, churches
and streets with evergreens.
At the very dawn Of history began the
worship Of the trees, or forest worship.
and the groves were mans first tenn
pies.
All our instincts, our passion about
nature, are forest memories, for forest
worship was universal.
In later times to each god some tree
was dedicated: Apollo had the laurel,
Jupiter the oak, and Greece for ages
had its sacred groves.
The forest worshipers could not
worship without giving, because to
worship is to give, and these boughs
and garlands were the oldest gifts Of
man. Before he had learned to shape
offerings of his own rude skill he could
bring to the sacred trees and hang up
on them the first flowers and greenery
of spring and the perfect fruits Of au-
tumn.
These gifts, remember, were never,
as with US, decorations: they were sac.
rif1ces.
The Romans, with a fine eye for
beauty, used to garland their temples
and homes and gathering places and
even the big Coliseum with boughs of
green and ropes of flowers. This par
Christians with a special sort of ap-
proval recalling, as it did, the fact
that our Lord entered Jerusalem amid
the strewn branches of the multitude.
We must not forget the welcome and
lovely mistletoe and holly. Indeed,
Christmas without them would not,
with us, seem quite complete.
Mistletoe was for ages regarded as
sacred by the old British pagans-the
Druids- was surrounded with
great mystery and sentiment, little un-
derstood by US.
1t was supposed to possess healing
powers and that it could ward of evil
spirits. The reverence paid to this
little parasite seems to have been re-
stricted to it, only, when it was found
growing on the sacred oak trees in the
Druids' groves. ~.s-
Once every year the Druid high
priest cut it with a golden sickle,
blessed it and distributed the sprays
among the people, praying aloud that
each one who received it might receive
divine blessings, Of which it was the
symbol. Having received the sprays,
the people hung them above the doors
to propitiate the gods during the year.
The only remaining significance at
tached today to the mistletoe is the
idea that If maiden is not kissed
under it on Christmas day she will 60
unwed throughout the year. This idea
goes so far back into the past that one
cannot trace it.
It is because the mfstletoe is rare
and not easy to get that we found
and brought forward the holly, which,
though lovely, is used only as SUBJ
stitute for the mistletoe.-New York

SERVICE MORE THAN GIVING
Deepest Spirit Of Christmas Does Not
confine Itself to One Day, but
Is Manifest Entire Year.

The deepest spirit Of the Christmas
outpouring that flows over the Chris
tian world is the impulse for human
service that runs through the whole
year.
It is easy to give recklessly out of
ones abundance, or even to share care
fully ones pittance. The distribution
Of Christmas dinners through hum
dreds Of self-denying families means a
days happiness for the giver and re-
ceiver. But it is greater happiness to
both to follow through the year with
aid to self-dependence, encouragement
to hope, and support in striving for
better living.
This is the giving Of self, and they
who know how to give of themselves
wisely are the highest givers. The
best feature Of Christmas is it's ma
terial expression Of a whole year Of
human service that runs like thread
through human lives.
+" Only these holiday glimpses reveal
to the careless how many are dedi-
Gated to share in this unobtrusive
service to the humbly striving and to
the accomplishing needy; how many
families are under constant stimulus
to the best sort Of self-help; how many
children are being quietly led to a
higher level of living and striving for
themselves between Christmas and
