orioin Of Word Christmas.

The word Christmas Is of compare
lively late origin. The word was hrss
used in 1898, its form then being
Christes- Maesse, the mass of Christ.
Origen, an early father Of the church,
said that in the Scriptures 1t was the
sinners alone, not the saints. who Gel
brated their birthdays. Another early
writer referred to the fact that the
birthdays of the pagan gods were kept
by the people. The very first evidence
Of a feast having been held In honor
or the birth of Christ was In Egypt
about the year 200. Clement Of Alex
andria said, Certain Egyptian theolo-
gians over-curiously assign not the
year alone, but the day Of Christ's
birth, placing 1t on May 25." Another
date assigned to the event was March
28.-Exchange.

Inc sex Is changeable. I've set my

"Oh, Mr.. Benchley, you're all right"
began Beth. hastily, but he put his
hand up warningly.
Don't shock me or alarm me, and
don't be arguing WI me, neither, for
my hearts no too strong at that. I've
talked this out wi Alan before you
come at all; an he's beginning to see
iicht already. I've been watching both
of you this long while, and I'm sick O.
the lalligagging and waiting. You can
60 quietly over the river to Jersey and
be married right away, and I'll pay the
bill. Get ready, lass"
Alan's eyes begged her to be yield
ing, but it was the old set face lying
back on the pillows that moved her to
act as he wished, and she slipped up
to her own room without a word to any
one.
When they came back it was the din
ner hour, two o'clock on holidays, and
as they came down stairs together
Beth heard a voice in the dining room,
q resOunding, hearty. strong voice, Mr..
Benchley speaking,
II had to use subterfuge wi them"
he was saying. "They're both obstin-
ate, but so am I. and I've married
them of safe and sound by making 1t
my dying request. An when you see
them coming in you're to 81 them a
cheer"
He stopped short. Beth came first,
blushing and wide-eyed. with sprig
Of mistletoe ON her breast and anOth-
er in her fair hair. And the old fell
low waited breathlessly till she came
near. Bending over her. he kissed her
on her cheek.
"And may God bless you both the
day." he finished.
