Many incidents that strike the human
chord occur at Holiday Farm. For in
stance, thither went little Catherine,
aged seven, ill-nourished, understood, ex.
hausted. Turning a grave and prema-
turely aged face upon her questioncr,
she said: "My mother had rheumatism.
l did all the housework for the family
until l broke down. Then visiting
nurse sent me here" Little Catherine
stayed at the home until she had rested.
Reports of her said she had gained four
pounds a week after receiving this i'm.
petus toward new vitality
One little stranger in our land went to
the farm after an operation for appendi-
cit1s. To a small American who was
making the journey from New York to
the home with her the little foreigner,
hugglng motheaten muff to her thin
breast, boasted: Our family are rich"
Said the American child:
How much money have you?"
To which the little stranger replied:
My mothers got a job scrubbing for
eight dollars week"
THAT'S nothing said the American.

Mrs Frank D. Hilliard, Sunday
the eighth, from to g." read the
card pinned on the cushion Of the
dressing table.
With troubled indecision, Helen
frowned at it as she drew on her
long white gloves. That Warren did
not want her to go, she knew. Since
her unpleasant experience with Mrs.
Gordon. he had been most emphatic
about her getting mixed up with any
one else 'in the house
But Helen was consumed with
desire to see the Hilliard apartment,
which she had heard was most eX-
pensively furnished. Even from the
street the bronze silk window draper
les suggested luxurious interior.
She would return Mrs. billiards
hospitality by inviting her to tea, and
their amenities could end there.
There need be none of the running
back-and-forth' intimacy that Warren
dreaded.
It was after FIVE, but she was pur-
posely late, to give the impression
that her coming was most casual-at
the end of an afternoon crowded with
other calls.
In the hall, Helen decided to walk
up the three flights, for the cosby
elevator boys had an undue interest
in the fluctuating friendships of the
tenants.
Through the shirred bronze silk
that lined the glass-paneled door of
the Hilliard apartment glowed festive
orange-shaded lights.
Instead of the expected maid, a but
Ter, evidently hired for the occasion,
answered her ring. A buzz of voices
and the mingled odor of flowers, per
fume and refreshments weighted the
air
Having no wraps, she was ushered
directly into the crowded drawing
room. People were chatting in groups
"a forced, laughter-rippled chatter.
No one seemed to notice her en-
trance, and for several awkward mo-
ments Helen stood in isolated en-
barrassment before the hostess came
hurrying to her rescue.
"Oh, Mrs. Curtis, I'm so glad you
could come" gushingly. But you
just missed most delightful solo,"
I'm sorry, but I've been out all
afternoon lied Helen nervously, ex
cusing both her lateness and her hat,
worn for its becomingness.
After confused introduction to an
immediate group, none of whose names
Helen caught. Mrs. Hilliard steered
her into the dining room.
oh, | want you to meet Mrs. Wal
lace presenting her to an imposing
purple-velveted parsonage, who pre-
sided over the punch bowl And this
is Mrs. Ford and Miss Ford-Mrs.
Curtis. And, oh, let me introduce
you to Mrs. Osborn" Then as an
other late conner claimed her atten-
ton: do see that Mrs. Curtis has
some refreshments
The long candle-lighted table was

as she had expected and hoped from
Hadley.
Fair charmer," the letter ran
Went you let me see you this even
ing If the prospects of dinner, and
theatre-and eff you will consent to
it-a supper afterwards, presents it
self favOrably to you, consider them
all yours for the acceptance Il leave
town very soon, and it is painful to
remember this now that | have at last
met you. Please be as kind as you are
pretty and go with me this evening.
! want to see you very often in the
few days remaining to me in this city.
You will note my telephone number
at the head of this sheet Ring TIE up
at any time before o'clock this after
noon and tell me the glad news that
you will be a good little sport and
make me happy by going with me this
evening. I'll show you the sights of
our great city! Every yours.
B. L. HADLEY."
Caryl walked down Broadway with
the letter she had just read clasped
was slight pucker of perplexity, and
her brain swan with wild, yet sweet
ideas Of rebellion, mingled with sterner
and less pleasant thoughts of duty.
Hadley had written her asking her
to dine with him that night. She want
ed to go, yet her intuition told her
that Julia would not consent to it.
If she went without her sisters kno~l-
edge she would have to creep home
late in the evening like guilty thing,
and there would undoubtedly be an
other row Of course, it would worry
Julia if she-Caryl-accepte1 Hadley's
invitation. This thought was the last
one to come to the girls mind, and
did not remain there long
NO she unused. as she walked on
unheedingly, 81 don't see how | can
go. | can't accept bid for any even
ing affair without Julia knowing it.
I'll just have to telephone TO him and
say no. Oh, if l wernt coward I'd
go anyway"

selves. In another moment the boy
had unlocked the dungeons and the
prisoners came pouring out in glad
ness.
Dumdum stole US from our homes"
they said, "and has piled his treasure
room full Of our. gold and jewels-let
US get it back now" So, getting Gret-
chen to join them, Claus followed to
another part of the castle, where
there lay bags on bags of gold and
cups Of gems of all kinds There were
pearls and emeralds and diamonds
filling the cups till they overflowed.
We viii each take back our own
share" the prisoners said, but as
many have died here in the castle we
will give their share to this boy, who
has freed US So they heaped Claus
pockets and Gretchen's apron full of
the most priceless jewels.
On the shore was boat which the
giant had used to row alone. This
they fitted up quickly with sails and
crowded on board with food and their
treasure. In an hour d fine breeze
sprang up and they started toward
home. AS the boat sped over the
water Claus could see the giant and
his wife still trying to climb down
from the window But land soon
passed out of sight and by morning
the happy people found themselves at
their own happy shores.

- s g 542IaiB&E{


Copyright, 1916, by the Mcclur,
In front of a Dutch peasants cot
tage two children were playing one
bright afternoon
Come, Claus, you must go to the
woods for fagots," said the mothers
voice from the doorway, "and Gret.
chen can go with you for company"
So the children set out down the
long path into the forest 1t was not
long before they had gathered a big
bundle of sticks, which Claus wrapped
up to put on his back, but as he did
SO Gretchen gave loud cry of fear.
High up in the air over their heads
they saw towering form that dark
ened the sky. And it was rapidly
coming toward them
ooh. Gretchen" cried Claus, throw
ing his bundle to the ground, that is
the giant Dumdum l am sure. / have
heard he lives over the sea and some
times visits our land. Let us hide be-
hind this rock"
The sky grew darker and darker till
the huge form of the giant lowered
right over the forest, where the chill
dren were hiding behind big stone.
Terrible to relate Dumdum sat down
to rest on this very stone and wiped
the perspiration from his vast brow
HIS eye caught sight of a bit of Gret-
chen's skirt and he pulled the fright
ened girl out before him.
"Ah, ah," he laughed till his i'm
mense mouth looked like the opening
INTO a cave What is this we have
nere-some sort Of beetle. l think l
will take it home with me-" and he
placed the girl gently in one of his
big pockets Then he rose to his feet
and started home. But he had not
seen Claus take hold of the belt in the
back and swing himself up into com
Portable position in the folds.
The giant walked into the water,
which splashed almost up to his waist,
but that did not stop him. After walk
ing for hours he reached a rocky shore
where a tall cliff frowned down on the
tumbling waves. Here stood a castle
of green stone, which reflected the
light till the whole land was SHIN
mer of color. It's turrets rose to the
clouds It's gates were ponderous ones
of iron that creaked as Dumdum
walked into his home. Throwing off
his coat, he sat down before the fire
and called for cup of wine. Claus
called down to Gretchen, who was still
in the pocket, to climb out. Then the
two children jumped down from the
big chair on which the coat hung and
hid behind big book on a bench in
the corner The giant sat still, sip.
ping his wine.
Il will now see what my new bee
tie is like" said the giant, looking
into his coat pocket, My! but it is
gone; maybe it slipped out into the
sea when / was crossing" So Dunn
DUN forgot about Gretchen and went
down to visit his dungeons and in
spect his treasures.
Stay here, sister," whispered Claus
Il am going below to see what is
there" And the boy slipped out into
the dark room and stole down the
