.B|[LY'S CHRISTMAS.
BY MRS. HAZEL q. BEATTY.

~ e7EE BILLY sat on the
H&7HM front stairs and pom
@ AyNxhdered. Truly this was a
W &#funny world, and Wee
NJ sF Billy could not under
stand why he could not
- :. have q brother to play
with. Jimmy, across the street, had
one; and Teddy Jones, two houses
above, had two. One, great, big
brother, who used to give Teddy pen
MES. And now to Wee Billy's sorrow
the new family just moved in next
door had five. boys. OF course they
were brothers, and none of them were
grown up. What good times they must
have. And here he, Billy, didn't have
a soul but cat outside Of Mamma
and Daddy Boy.
Poor Billy boy! The longer he pom
dered the more detected he grew, but
finally Snooksy, the great big tiger
kitty, who allowed his small master
to pull his sacred tail and otherwise
subject him to such indignities, was
aroused from his peaceful slumbers by
q much-excited little boy, who just
hcpped around on one foot, and finally

Decorations for the Tree.

A pretty decoration for Christmas
which is so easily made that the little
tots can do most of the work, is paper
chains. Silver paper and blue paper
make the prettiest. Cut the paper
into four-inch squares, then cut the
squares into strips one-fourth inch
wide, and paste the ends Of the little
strips together, linking them as you
60. Silver alone is very pretty, and
alternate links of blue and silver give
an attractive effect. The paper costs
five cents sheet, SO the expense Of
the decoration is small.

ended by grabbing kitty up in his arms.
This was too much, for Snooksy was
an armful, and down went Wee Billy,
Snooksy and all.
Such mix-up!
For few minutes nothing could be
seen but roly-poly boy all arms and
legs and much-alarmed cat who man
aged to crawl from under his little
master and sought the farthest corner
in the front hall from which he could
>tiew Wee Billy Boy safely, and also
be ready to run if such another scene
seemed imminent.
Billy Boy had solved the problem.
What was it his teacher had told him
about the Christmas baby?
The small mind groped for the much
desired information, but in vain. Any,
how, it didn't matter. OF course
Santa Claus brought the Christmas
Baby, because he brought all things at
Christmas time; so why not write San
ia and tell him all about it.
Wee Billy Boy rushed to mammals
desk and was soon busy. Had he time
to send his letter? It still lacked a
week to Christmas and everybody was
busy, so BILLY Boy mustn't bother"
when he had asked his pretty mother; !;
but he guessed it wouldn't take long
for letter to reach such a well-known
old gentleman. So Billy Boy wrote:
"Dear Sanity Claus, I want a little
brother, not q big one, but one just
like me becuz get lonesome, your
lovin' billy boy"
He put the letter in the fireplace,
happy in the knowledge that Santa
Claus had received it because it
"burned so bootifully."
Wee Billy guarded his precious Sc
cret carefully and counted the days.
He haunted the doors and was in the
way generally, meaning to intercept
anybody bringing baby brother. But
the week passed and a heavy-hearted
little boy was tucked into bed by
Daddy Boy after strenuous time un-
dressing and the hanging Of the stock
ing.
Where was his precious mamma,
why wasn't she there to kiss and tuck
him in?
But Daddy Boy said she was 'get-
ting ready for Santa Claus" and Of
course, Daddy Boy knew, but-and the
heavy lids dropped and body grew
quiet. Wee Billy Boy was in Dream
land, having an awful fight with a new
brother, who insisted on sitting on
Snooksy.
Morning dawned and Billy Boy
opened his eyes only to remember the
day, and shouting:
'Merry Christmas, Mamma, Merry
Christmas, Daddy Boy!"
He jumped out Of bed. Daddy Boy
met him at the door, and strange to
say, was all dressed
did he bring him, Daddy Boy? Oh!
Did he?"
Bring what, son?" asked Daddy
Boy.
"A brother. I wrote Santa Claus for
a brother" And the blue eyes grew
teary as he looked at his stocking, but
saw no sign of the coveted brother.
'You come with me, son; perhaps
ycu haven't looked in the right place."
And picking up Billy Boy In his
arms, he tiptoed into mammals room,
and there in his precious mothers bed
was a brand new baby brother.
Santa Claus hadn't forgotten Wee
oilly BOY after ALL
