city so well: he saw his reflection in
it; and, like 1t, he was grimy, big,
careless, rich, strong, and unquench-

believed his city TO be the finest city
in the world, so did he believe his fam
lily to be-in spite Of his son Bibbs-
the finest family in the world. As a
matter of fact, he knew nothing worth
knowing about either.

CHAPTER n.

Beginning at the beginning and
learning from the ground up was
long course for Bibbs at the santa
rum, with milk and "zwieback" as
the basis of instruction.; and the
months were many and tiresome be-
fore he was considered near enough
graduation to go for walk leaning
on a nurse and cane. These and sub
seduent months saw the planning, the
building and the completion of the new
house, and 1t was TO that abode OF
Bigness that Bibbs was brought when

found sufficient to his support.
Edith met him at the station. swell,

all the travellers from that train. DO
you think they ought to we let you
come? You certainly don't look Welt"
"But I certainly do look better" he
returned, in voice as slow as his
gait; a drawl that was a necessity,
for when Bibbs tried to speak quickly
he stammered. "Up to about a month
ago It took two people to see me. They
had to get me in a line between 'em!"
Edith did not turn her eyes directly

of her, showed a faint, troubled dis

prettiness of color and n brllllancy of

close upon beauty. There was some
thing about her, as kind old ladies' say,
that was very sweet; and there was

breathless. Blbbs bent upon her a
steady, whimsical scrutiny as they
stood at the curb. waiting for an au'

itself from the traffic.

Not quite so long ago as a genera

SHAKESPEARE AND SANTA
CLAUS MIX 1T CHRISTMAS

Last Friday night will go down in
history as the most successful and
delightful evening the members of the
Shakespeare Club have ever enjoyed.
We don't like to say it was because
the male contingency was present, but
rather, we would attribute it to the
fact that the program committee hav-
ing in charge this delightful evening,
knew how to entertain its guests.
A Christmas party at the Rosen-
berry's would not be misnomer for
the affair, for the members and guests
were ushered into a delightfully."-
Christmasy room, wherein stood the
pretty Xmas tree, laden with pack
ages and radiating good cheer from
every twinkling light At $3.50 we
found ourselves listening to the
manager Of show, Mrs. Evans, pro-
wing herself a barker indeed, and as
she advertised the wonders Of her
palace Of Art"-each listener felt
Barnum and Bailey had missed prize
in not securing her services. The
guests bought tickets Of the attract
i've little ticket seller and passed into
the show. Here were old time friends
who as Annette Kellerman, past CEN
fury bellies, strong men, and Red Rid
ing Hoods, were hard indeed to de-
sipher.
Miss Katherine Kennedy succeeded
in guessing the greatest number and
was rewarded with a dainty prize.
Later the guests gathered around the
Xmas tree and after the lights had
been dimmed faint jingle proclaimed
the coming Of Santa.
And what Santal Big and round
and jolly, he fulfilled to a dot our
olden memories of him and as he
sported about handing gift here and
there and everywhere, all felt they
had renewed their youth once more.
At 1890 the buffet luncheon was
served which added the finishing touch
to the gay festival. Attractive indi-
vidual lap board, gayly decorated
with Xmas colors held dainty lunch
and eliminated an evening long to be
remembered. The guests Of the club
included DR.. and Mrs. Blome, Miss
Smith, Miss Winterfeld, Miss Card
ner, Miss Kennedy, DR.. Fronske, Mr..
Harvey, Mr.. Pollock, Mr.. Rees, Mr..

A Fetching Scarecrow

An American tourist had been
boasting again in the village inn.
Talking of scarecro1s," he said with
drawl, "why, my father once put
one up and it frightened the crows so
much that not one entered the field
again for a year." He looked tri-
umphantly around his audience. Sure
ly that had settled those country
pumpkins. But he was to meet his
match. That's nothing" retorted one
farmer. "A neighbor O. mine once
put scarecrow into his potato patch,
and it terrified the birds so much that
one rascal of a crow who had stolen
some potatoes came next day and put
them back"

The year is going, let him go,
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out false pride in peace and

The civic SANDER and the spite,
Ring in the love of Truth and Right,
Ring in the common love of Good.
