HowIN VALUE OF 'FRONT.'
~Impecunious Author Wis" In Expendi-
ture That Less Far-Siohted
Friend Objected To.

There is a young author who has ar
rived, and therefore has only, when he
wishes a new suit or a large steak or a
set Of automobile tires, to sit down at
his typewriter and dash of a few care
less lines, and eager editors do the
rest. Once upon a time, however,.
and, unlike the fairy stories, that
doesn't long, long ago-this
worthy young mans assets were so
near the vanishing point that his nu-
merous. creditors became uneasy and
threatened a total discontinuance Of
supplies. Something had to be done,
and that quickly. The author did
something-he took q famous ffnancier
with whom he happened to be &C.
quainted to lunch at the most ex-
pensive and conspicuous restaurant in
town. When it was over he walked
home for lack of another nickel.
"You are not as bright as you might
be, my boy" he patiently explained to
a protesting friend Is he cheerfully
borrowed a quarter. Several Of my
largest creditors always lunch at that
place, and I knew they would recog.
nize the man I was with. Why, that
lunch is good for at least 60 days ex-
tension On my accounts"

Children from the intimate contact
with toys they knew they could never
own.
They had gone inside n Of the big
shops and had been treated as we'll as
anybody; they had not been afraid.
They had looked to their hearts cOn
tent.
Its true-what they's said," the
children agreed afterward, gin there 1T
Is the land all right, where children's
dreams come true" For the reality of
Fairyland had been expressed by the
marvellous and magical toys and games
and gay decorations Of the Christmas
shop.
If, Gertrude Harding told herself
afterward, these children had so loved
a trip into the gayety Of a children's
shop, were there not others who would
like to journey forth into the world of
toys, too?
She thought 1t over. And did not
stop there. She rang up a certain
number and asked for the matron.
you're the matron Of the Children's
hospital, aren't you? Well, I won
dered If any Of your children would
care to 60 with me tomorrow and take
a trip through the children's toy shops?
They're most attractIvely fixed up this
year and some Of them have special
attractions, a Santa Claus and many
other wondrous features !"
SO Gertrude Harding called for the
children. There were Is who were
able to 70 and of that Is the majority
were motherless.
Such an afternoon as Gertrude
Harding had. And such an afternoon
as the children had.
Those in the shops seemed especial
ly anxious to do what they could for
the children who were so obviously
from a home or hospital. The mechan-
ical toys even seemed to put more
spirit into their performances Ger
trude Harding thought.
AS they were coming home several
little hands found their way into both
Of Gertrude Harding's hands. One
clutched a little finger, another had
hold of her thumb; so it went.

"Would you-honest-would you

"That would be the best pretend
Of ALL" she smiled at them.
So they "pretended" and SO they
went back very happily from their
Christmas shopping trip.

And for every little. child whe had
to stay in the hospital, Gertrude Hard
ing had brought a small present, only
a trifing one, but a remembrance from
the great world.
Then the hospital rules which had
been lifted for a few minutes after
the one 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.

And. her the clown beat upon his
drum and the children all marched
stiffly behind.
When a magnificent Santa Claus
asked the children to sing with him
and the voices of the hospital children
sang out with the rest Gertrude Hard
ing felt herself swelling with pride.
Later when Santa Claus perceived
that one of the hospital children had
AN unusually lovely voice he asked
MIN TO sing alone.
And there in the shop he sang, sang
with the thrill of happiness that a
bird sings with when first he feels the
warmth and sweet fragrance Of the
spring.
He had never been asked to sing be-
fore like this-in- a big shop where
people We're 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.
1t. rang out true and strong. He
shifted the crutch which he had never
been without and which he would new
er he 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
bealmed.
He had already sung a popular song
which he had learned from the squeak

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 a 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
"a a very glorious hymn he had al
ways thought.
And he sang:

Yes! She, Gertrude Harding, was a

something most important to be done.

Christmas.
She went down town, made her pur-

quest that all the counties in the
