inches long. One side of ii holds three
blotters that make good support for
the writing tablet in cramped quarters
where there is no table. On the other
side are compartments for paper, en-

narrow strap of the denim, is sewed

1t Is good idea to embroider the

of thoughtfulness on the part of the
donor.

T listen dear little children, and
you shall hear about the very first
Christmas day.
It was In a country across the sea,
far away from here, that some shep-
herds were watching their flocks one
might. The sheep were resting on the
grass, the little lambs were fast asleep
beside their mothers, but the kind shep-
herds were not asleep. They were
watching that no harm should happen
to the sheep.
Perhaps they were looking up at the
stars and the beautiful moon above
them when suddenly there appeared a
wonderful light in the sky, brighter
than the moon, or stars, as If the sky
had opened and they saw the glory
within.
While the shepherds were looking up,
wondering what was the cause of that
strange light, a beautiful shining angel
came near to them and said:
"Fear not. bring you good tidings
which shall be to all people. This day
Is born a Savior, and We shall find the
babe lying in a manger."
And suddenly the angel was Joined
by a multitude Of the heavenly host
singing praises to God. This was their
song:
Glory to God in the highest. and on earth
Peace. good will toward men.
When the angels had gone back to
heaven the shepherds said they would
60 to Bethlehem and see this Savior
Of whom the angels sang. They went
and found him, little baby, in a sta
bic, with no cradle to lie in, only
manger for his bed. That little baby
was Jesus, who when he grew up said:
"Let the little children come unto me
and forbid them not, for Of such is the
kingdom Of heaven" His birthday
was the first Christmas day, and ever
since that time we kept that day as
joyful and happy one.-New York
