Some months before this time Henry
Midgely had lost his position as book
keeper on account of the failure of the
firm for which he worked. They had
had no idea of impending conditions
and were almost staggered by the
blow. The Midgelys had four growing
children and every month had lived up
to the salary. Mr.. Midgely had just
found another position. When Anne
wrote home she did not tell her family
of their loss, and she brayely set her
self the task of making up for the
months when debts had accumulated.
Christmas! That was the hard part.
Nothing for the children! They had
had such jolly times before, with pres
ents for everyone. Now she had more
work than ever to do and less time for
making presents, even if she had the
money with which to buy material.

Judith arrived, her face shining with
happiness.
GAS last I am here! Are you quite
well, Anne?"
"Oh, yes, DEAR" Mrs. Midgely's voice
had strange note in it. Judith looked
up quickly.
"You don't look well, Anne. What
is the matter?"
Poor Anne let the floodgates of her
tears open and told Judith her trou-
bles.
IT'S only that we don't want you to
have stupid time, Judith"
"Never mind about me-" answered
Judith. 81 am wildly happy just to be
here with you all. But am glad you

The children were delighted to have
their aunt with them. They had often
visited the pleasant old white house
that had been their mothers home, and
1t was happy party that surrounded
the dinner table that night. Mrs.
Midgely, too, almost forgot to be wor-
ried as she smiled at her sisters high
spirits.
Next morning after Judith had
kissed the four children as they left
for school, she turned to her sister and
said:

unusual luxury she heard the post
