Christmas "Don'ts"

The following "don'ts" for house
holders have been issued by Fire
Chief Kinder as a precautionary
measure against Christmas fires:
Don't decorate your Christmas
tree with paper. cotton or inflamma-
BILE material. Use metallic tinsel and
other noninfiammable decorations
only, and set the tree securely so that
the children in reaching for things
cannot tip it over.
Don't use cotton to represent
snow. If you must have snow, use
powdered mica or asbestos fibre.
Don't permit the children to light
or relight the candles while parents
are not present. They frequently
set fire TO their clothing instead.
Electrical illumination is safer.
Don't leave matches within reach
of children at holiday time. Candles
are meant to be lighted and If the
children can get matches they will
experiment with them. They imi-
tate their elders.

Arthur's voice made her start. He
was standing in front of her, a glass
in his hand.
Here's your drink, Honora," he
said.
Thank you" She drank the wa
ter thirstily. 1T is deliciously cold"
she added.
He set the glass on the table near
him, and seated herself at her side.
It's mighty good of you to let
me be with you so much this eve
Ming" he said. Do you know what
l was just wondering?"
WHAT"
II was wondering if you were a
bit bored by mel mean if that
was the reason why you sighed
when we were dancing just now. If
so, please say So"
His humility touched her, and she
spoke impulsively.

"I cannot imagine your boring any
one. l mean-with a laugh-''you
could never bore me. We have been
friends for many years, and 1 still
like to talk with you"
Her tone was light and she avoid
ed meeting his eyes.
Thank you!" he said gratefully,
laying his hand on hers for an in
stant. It's good to hear you say
that. So many things are different
from what they used to be, and
have had so many rude awakenings
from what l suppose were foolish
dreams, that it is mighty pleasant
to find one person just what L would
have her to be-"
The orchestra in the hall began
to play a waltz and Arthur got up.
Il asked Mrs. Denton for this
dance" he said. Il am sorry-but
she is my hostess, so 1 must be
prompt"
Go at once" the girl command
ed. Il am engaged for this dance,
anyway-with Tom Chandler"
If l meet him l will tell him
where you are" Arthur said.
When he had left her she arose
and walked to the library doors op-
ening into the conservatory. She
was wondering where her partner
was.
She was not to be in doubt for
long. AS her eyes became accus-
toned to the dim light of the frag-
rant interior, she discerned Tom
Chandler and Mildred standing at
the far end of the aisle of plants.
AS she looked the man bent and
kissed the girl.

Later as Horace was chatting with
her hostess, Mildred came up to
her and after talking for a minute
addressed her sister, in Il low voice.
Let me see your card" she de-
manded.
When she had scanned it, she
laughed teasingly.
What's the matter?" Honora
queried.
"Oh, nothing" Then as Mis-. Dem
ton turned away to greet a new ar
rival, Mildred explained.
Il was only amused" she said, ito
see that you yourself had done the
very thing that you reproved me
for doing. You have let Arthur
write his name as often as he wish
ed-which was just what ] had told
him he might do with me-and you
were shocked at the idea"
The cases are entirely different" :"
Honora protested. Il did not tell
the same thing to two men-nor to
one man, for that matter. When
Arthur found that Tom Chandler
had gotten ahead of him, he asked
Tor some dances with me. SO,
with whimsical smile, Il was not
first choice after all"
Mildred patted her arm affection
ately. IF he had not wanted to
dance with you so many times. he
would not have asked you to let
him do So" she commented.
The child meant the words kindly
Honora reflected later as she and
Arthur danced together. Yet her
sympathy had awakened a train of
unpleasant thoughts.
Nobody likes to be pitied-least
of all a proud girl or woman. Ho-
nora felt that Mildred was a little
sorry for her, and was trying to con-
sole her by assurances that Arthur
Bruce found her attractive. She
did not want to be consoled she
muttered bitterly. She was not an
object of pity. A number of other
men besides Arthur Bruce had
sought her out this evening.
Even Tom Chandler had begged to
be allowed to put his name on her
card. She had let him do so. She
did not trust the fellow, nor care
for him-but one must be polite to
him.
Her card was full by the time she
had been in the room a half hour
Yet Mildred pitied her. She sighed
impatiently. t~d Arthur catching
the sound, looked down at her.
Steady Cavalier.
Are you tired?" he asked.
"A little" she said. Suppose we
sit out the rest of this dance"
He led her to a chair in the library
and went away to get her a glass
of water.

herself for her feeling of resent

Well. lad, are you ready to do the
right thing? It's simple enough, af-
