afternoon-oh. age

VREsTERDAY afternoon-oh. ages If and ages ago-do you remember
 S how the sun faded early and left blue mist instead and the lights twin kIed all at once and the beautiful world outside was one great big Christmas card?
 Do you remember it? And do you re- member how you pressed your nose against the window pane and watched the world fade into the fairy night through which Santa Claus rode later? And do you remember wondering where the snow was that you'd heard of in rhyme and story, that Kris Krngle must drive his little reindeer through with the mraculously loaded sleigh following. And do you remember how the Christmas eve dinner hour came and you were told if you didn't eat your food how Santa wouldn't bring you any candy and how when you had finished your dinner you took one more look into the fireplace where Santa Claus was supposed to come down and how the chimney seemed so small and so tiny for a great big fellow like him to get into?
 And then do you remember how you dreamed dreams all night long, dreaming of old Santy coming down the chim- ney and the little sleigh bells ringing and the hundreds of fairy voices sing ing "Merry Merry Christmas;- Merry Merry Christmas, and to all a Good Night?"
 And do you remember sort of peeping out of the fireplace to see if your stock ing was still hanging just where you put it before you went to bed and how you thought Santy hadn't come as early as he should because the stocking was still empty? And do you remember, oh, ever

The letter written by Mrs. DeSaulles while enroute to Chile follows:
 Dear Jack:
 Just before leaving I want to tell you that I am really sorry for having made you so unhappy and I want you if I hurt you it was always uncon- sciously. I know though that no ex- cuse makes it any better a hurt is a hurt
 But I want you to know that have always been fond of you and admired you as a man among men. and nothing will ever change that. That l was not able to make you a good wife will ever be regret to me, and a source of reproach. Circum- stances and people change so much that who knows, that some day, if you wanted still, we might still be happy. However, I feel though that you do not like me, ana will never want to see me again, and though I justly deserve it, it does hurt, because as I say, I am very fond of you and shall always be interested in all your doings and hope from the bottom of my heart that you will find the happi- ness which is your due. AS long as I have Poodle I shall make a good mother to him and make him look forward to the time he will see you again.

MAY NEED MORE SEALS.
TullcrculOSis Relief Society Finds
 Supply Going Fast.

Owing to the large sales, the New Britain Tuberculosis Relief society, which is handling the sale of Red Cross seals, may be obliged to secure an additional allotment. Indications are that the 350,0OO sent here will be insufficient to supply the demand.
 The campaign among the factories which always produces the greatest revenue will not be launched until after Thanksgiving. In spite of this fact the sales this year arc greatly in excess of those made at the same time last year. The school children, on whom the society depends for the disposal of a large portion of the seals, are responding well.
 The allotment for New Britain this year is 50OO0 more than the number sold here last year and the seals were placed on sale November 15 because of the necessity of mailing Christmas packages for abroad at an carly date
 The society plans 10 give prizes to the children selling the greatest num- Der of seals
