There is a story so old that peo.

story related no doubt when
Athens was no more than a tract
Of land under the promotion of
some wiley Greek suburban de
velopment gentleman; when the
mortar of the pyramids still was
damp; when Babylon was a nine
o'clock town.
1t has come down through the
ages. under one name or another
Trcubadours ha e sung it n the
courts of the chateau of Provence;
it has been woven into she legend
and the fairy lore of the world;
and you may see it in any issue
of the magazine you Iick up at
the corner news stand
The charm OF the story is that
it is what you would wish to have
happen, especially if you are a
girl and the value of the story
is that it sometimes does come
about in life Probably it will
never die, for it is combination
of aspiration and of truth. Among

greatly lessen her labOrs.
For it is no light thing to choose
Christmas gifts judiciOusly. The

CHRISTMAS ONCE IS
CHRISTMAS STILL

The silent skies are full OF speech
For who hath ears to hear;
The winds are whispering each to each:
The moon is calling tc the beach:
And stars their sacred wisdom teach
OF Faith and Love and Fear
But once the sky it's silence broke
And song o'erfiowed the earth:
The midnight air with glory shook:
And angels mortal language spoke,
When God our human nature took
In Christ the Savior's birth.
And Christmas once is Christmas still:
The gates through which he came,
And Forest wild. and murmuring rill,
And fruitful field and breezy hill,
And all that else the wide world all,
Are vocal with his name.
Shall We not listen while they sing
This latest Christmas morn,
And music hear in everything,
And faithful lives IN tribute bring
To the great song which greets the King
Who comes when Christ is bornf

WOMEN MAY SMOKE
IN SENATE RESTAURANT 7

Women are at liberty to smoke
in the Senate restaurant il they de-
sire, so far as Senator Moses of
New Hampshire is concerned. SEN
ator Moses, a member of the rules
committee. practically has charge
of the rules for. the Senate res
taurant.
To smoke or not to smoke is
question that every woman must
settle for herself"". said Senator
Moses.
The issue as to whether women
shall smoke in the Senate restau-
rant came to the fore few days
ago when Miss Mary Winsor of
Haverford, Pa, lighted a cigarette
and proceeded to smoke it in the
restaurant. Miss Winsor is suf-
frage worker. She found men
smoking in the restaurant ana as
sumed the same privilege for her
self.
One of the walters informed her
that ladies don't smoke here.
When Miss Winsor wanted to know
by whose orders smoking was pro-
hibited she was told they were the
orders of Senator Moses
II shall see Senator Moses about
it," said Miss Winsor.
II am still waiting for Miss Win

ians. whether they believe the exist.
ing form of local government is best
