Their Day Of Dreamed-ot Pleasure

Their Day Of Dreamed-ot Pleasure.
dren who had been too recently OPP
Grated upon or who could not leave
their beds sat up as best they could
to hear of the news of the outside
world.
Little whitehead figures listened to
the glowing accounts brought to- them
Of the great life which went on beyond
the ward.
And for every little child who had
to- stay in the hospital, Gertrude Hhrd-
ing had brought small present, only
q tufffiDg one, but remembrance from
the great world.
Then the hospital rules which had
the ones who had been out so late had
come back, were In order again. and
there was silence in the ward: and
soon there would come sleep.
When she got home that evening,
tired but very, very happy, she said
to herself:
There ore born mothers, yes! And
there are born children, too! Chit
dren who need to be loved as much as
women who need children to love. And
though there is difference between
those of ones very own, and those
who are not, It seems as though no
one who II "born mother" should 60
through life, walking blindly BY the
smany 1notherless children.
"For every childless mother there Is
a mOtherfess child to whom one can
give some Of the love and interest and
the pride which would otherwise go to
waste"
In her sleep she seemed to hear the
Christmas carol which the hospital lad
had sung and she knew what had been
revealed to her
Size had travelled into the land Of
children at Christmas time and had
E1niled the smile that can be smiled
when one gets look at the heart Of q

,SaTd sings with when first lie feels the

+ He had never been asked to sing be-
fore like this-in a big shop where
people were and where people listened
to him, not because he was being Wis.,
tied in a hospital and must do his part
to entertain the visitors, but because
somehow or other they liked his voice.
It rang out true and strong. He
shifted the crutch which he had never
been without and which he would new
err be without to the end Of his days,
and then he was asked to sing an en-
core.
His face was flushed with the pleas
ure Of doing something which was
liked in this big outside world.
He looked at Santa Claus and
beamed.
He had already sung a popular song
which he had learned from the squeak
ing talking machine which someone
had given the hospital when it was no
longer fit for the home, and now he
thought he would sing something bet
ter. Somehow he felt it would be
proper, and vaguely perhaps he felt it
would show gratitude for Christmas
that went deeper. Dimly he thought
these things.
Someone had taught them a hymn
In the hospital, a hymn which he had
always loved. 1t made one feel bet
ter, stronger, happier somehow. It
was very glorious hymn he hcG al
ways thought.
And he sang:
1T came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the eartn
TO touch their harps of gold:
Peace on the earth, good will TO 1nen.
From heavens ali-gracious king;
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing"
Right to the end of the hymn he
sang and the people. thanked him and
Santa Claus told him II had been love-
~ and gave him a man-like clap on
the back.
Gertrude Harding had felt a lump
IN her throat and had smiled with
eyes that were misty.
So the 9rge!e DIG bend near the
earth'-evsn in these days-and even
over hospitals where crippled and i'll
children were. II was the humans,
not the angels, who forgot and who
went through life not thinking!
Back to the hospital she took the
children late, late that afternoon. The
hospital was in semi-darkness. Chill

so be satisfied. See, your hair is graying at the temples already, and you will soon be angular where you are now slim. Because you had a near love affair once, now grow old gracefully and leave love for the young."
 Glancing at her left hand, Cynthia smiled and removed from the fourth finger ring which she always wore. A curious twisted thing of dull gold, supporting an amethyst of quaint carved design. Inside was the in scription, "You can usually tell. Dec. 25, 1S91."N Turning to the mirror, she was about to administer another stern rebuke to her attractive reflection, when she heard her nephew's key in the lock.
 Hello there, Aunt Cynthia" was his breezy greeting. T missed you this afternoon when I ran home from the office for a bite. I had the good news to tell you, too. Guess" And he clasped his strong, young arms about her waist.

Wonderful chance, cutest little quar- ters, big chance for advancement an everything" he finished in breathless eagerness.

To him she had al ways been the personification of sue cess and womanliness combined; ever sympathetic and the best understand CT a fellow could have. Seeing the consternation in his face she made quick to explain.
 Forgive your old auntie, boy. I am just bit moony tonight, a priv ilege I do not often allow myself. l am so glad l could dance a jig for you. Only it is near Christmas, anG l rather hate to lose you. It is diff ferent from the day you left for train

Cynthia Walmsley sat at her desk, the kindly glow from a shaded lamp lighting her rather plain fea- lures into positive prettiness. Be fore her was an open rosewood box, it's contents scattered in meager ar ray on the desk leaf.
 There were two worn letters which she had read for the tenth time that evening, as if she had not known them by heart for years. They were just commonplace affairs--one of re- gret for not having replied to one of hers sooner, the other frank ad- mission that writing letters was not one of his best accomplishments. There were no declarations of undying love or admiration in either of them, nor anything of moment to cause un- bidden tears to shine in Cynthia's clear, gray eyes.
 Then there was handkerchief She smiled as she remembered the day he had loaned it to her, when she had cut her finger on an olive bot tie at a picnic. Dear dead days! Who ever went on picnics and took olives these days? She assayed a trembly laugh.
 The other souvenir was a cheap pa per fan, one which had been at her place at summer hotel dinner, and which his autograph had made prec- ious beyond words. She snapped it to and gathered che foolish little keepsakes together, placing them carefully inside the little box.
 "You foolish old woman," she said to herself, walking to the long mir TOT at the end of the room. Cant you let bygones be bygones? Are you going to keep those silly pieces of sentimental rot forever? You are clinging to an ideal which will never amount to anything. You have gain ed fairly successful niche in life,
