 Mary told about the songs she sang to her doll.
 She said that the song that her doll liked the best was: The little dog went to the market town, With one foot up, and one foot down; But when he came to a muddy place
 He jumped cle-e-e-an over!
 Mary said that she always jumped her doll at the jump" part.
 Sally thought that 1t was long time since she had known story, "'most as long as the night before Christmas" but she did remember a ride she once had on little donkey.
 She said they had to send the old donkey on ahead to make the little donkey hurry.
 Then she remembered about the cats at her grandma's house. There was a big cat for the big mice, and little cat for the little mice.
 Hilda told a story about little blind boy she once saw.

"And It's to Be an Anniversary Child" their own happy destinies? Would they have not rather gone their separ- ate ways, yet two more unhappy mortals whose lives were but a makeshift?
 Yet she had lied and in that lie she had cheated him, the one whom of all others she had, cared most for she had cheated most completely Perhaps he didn't care for children now. Perhaps he would never think of them again. Perhaps, oh perhaps a hundred conjectures
 But clearly standing above the others were these two issues-she had lied to win him and because of that lie she had cheated and played false to the one she loved.
 A lie Is a vigorous parent, imbu- ing its offspring with its ever power ful blood of doubt and worry. Always, she felt, she would think from time to time that she had cheated him, and that In the deep recesses of her mind he would feel her love had been very frail and weak thing.
 Yet again and again reverted to her mind the knowledge that had 1t not been for that lie when she had spoken 1t Gregory and. she would never have been happy
 And these doubts and worried thoughts were the heritage of lie such as hers had been.
 It seemed like a miracle. She had given up all hope. Still at times the lie she had told in the first place of all haunted her, because she felt she had cheated Gregory. He never re- ferred to 1t. He seemed radiantly happy. But she had worried.
 And then some time after she had told him, she knew. She was glad she had told him. She was glad that he knew her weaknesses and faults and all. Her happiness over the coming child was so much greater because she had told him.
 And it's to be an anniversary child"
 The Christmas carols were pealing forth when a small boy opened his eyes upon the world so new to him.
 I'm sorry it's not girl so we can call her Marjorie" Gregory smiled.
 'Tm delighted it's boy and that we can name him Gregory" Marjorie whispered
 "Merry Christmas" Gregory said, a little later. The clock just struck twelve.
 Merry Christmas" Marjorie an- swered.
 And the small boy gave shrill little cry.
 That's his way of saying Merry Christmas" Marjorie added.
 'I'm delighted to have 1t explained to me-" her husband chuckled.

get about each other and sink their hopes and aspirations and ambitions and emotions and dreams into the coming of another generation when they had sworn and believed before God and man that they would only love each other. Did they love each other so little? Did they care only for the sake of the family? It couldn't be.
 That was too cold a belief.
 Another year passed and they began growing apart. Marjorie had become restless, unhappy. Was 1t because of children? Gregory asked himself. Couldn't she have been happy with him7 Was his marriage to be a dis illusion?
 But one evening she came to him.
 Gregory" she said, q have so much to tell you. Let me begin from the beginning. I've been going to tell you this 50 many times.
 When I married you lied to you. Now, don't interrupt me, dear. Yes. I lied about my age. I loved you. Nas afraid if told you that perhaps Twas too old to have children that you wbuldn't-marry me-that l would

that night, her mother said to her:
 What are you going to say, in your prayer tonight, about that poor little blind boy you saw to-dayf'
 So Hilda asked God about him.
 The very next day she took the lit- tie blind boy big orange.
 It was now Ruth's turn.
 "Once asked little girl if that was her sister," said Ruth. 'The Iit- tie girl said: t ain't a sister. It's baby.'"
 One of the other boys now had a story to tell.
 "Once l saw cyclone come around the corner of a street." he said. "A man had tent there with lot of dolls in it. The man wanted to sell the dolls, but the cyclone took the tent right up into the sky, with all the dolls in 1t.
 Another man asked him: What are you making such fuss about7 Weren't your dolls for sail?' and everybody laughed except the doll man."
 The Old Folks were having such good time listening to the stories that they thought the children ought to have a good time, too. So they took all their presents that had come of the tree and gave them to the little folks who had come in.
 Every boy and every girl had toy and box of candy-Lucy, Peter. Billy, Mary, Sally, Hilda, and the others.
 Then, all the young Old Folks and all the children marched around the dining room singing.
 They sang Merry, Merry Christ mas," and so the fun ended.
 But I guess it didn't quite end then, either. For, as the young Young

FESTIVITIES OF OLD l
Lord of MisruIe Was Important Func- tionary at Yuletide Celebrations
 of the Long Ago.

M HE Lord of Misrule was an impor VL tant functionary at the Christmas
 festivities of those long-aga times. An account of this important parsonage has been preserved by the historian and antiquary, John Stow, who lived during the reign of Queen Elizabeth and during the first year of the reign of King Charles I, and was, therefore, contemporary of Shake speare.
 Tn the feast of Christmas" writes Stow, there was in the kings house. wherever he lodged, Lord of Misrule or Master of Merry Deports, and the like had ye in the house of every nQ- bleman of honor or good worship, were he spiritual or temporal. The mayor of London, and either of the siiefinsss, iiass had had the their several Lords of Misrule."
 At Cambridge university the Lord of Misrule was a master of art, elected to superintend the representation of Latin plays by the students, besides taking charge of their games and di- versions during the Christmas season. A similar Master of Revels was chosen at Oxford.
 In the Inns of Courts in London, where the barristers had their offices and belongings, Lord of Misrule reigned with great splendor, being surrounded with all the parade and ceremony of royalty, his guard of hon. or, and even his two chaplins who preached before him in the Temple church."
 On the Twelfth day he abdicated his sovereignty, and we are informed that in the year 1885, this mock-representa- tive of royalty expended in the exer- else of his office about two thousand pounds from his own purse, and at the conclusion of his reign was knighted by King Charles at White. | hall.

forgotten that he had a sister. and full Bumps. An old trouble had made him bitter and forgetful, and he had felt more alone in the world than he really was. As he sat again by the freight, but on clear and moon lit night. he unused on things past with comed a new thought that came warm ly to him and brought a lovely pur- pose with it. He would play Santa Claus, and give himself the surprise of making others happyl
 So the day before Christmas things happened at the Bump house. As Mr Bump went to the 'wayside post box he found two letters. One of them made him sad, for it was from the man who held the mortgage, and 1t said that the time for payment had come. It meant to Mr. Bump, your money, or your cows" But the other letter was from MT. Gimlet, and it made Mr. Bump laugh until he cried, for it was a check for $500, with some kindly, friendly words and good wishes, enough to cure the cows and all the family troubles.
 The next day the carrier brought most promising looking big box from Uncle Gimlet, so that the Christ mas tree was ful! of happy surprises for the little folks and a gift or two for the big ones. Mother made a big pie in the dishpan and the children found out what was in it. Dorothy poked hole through the pasteboard crust and pulled out a maple sugar heart. Donald got red sugar heart. Kenneth got white sugar heart. Edith got yellow sugar heart. Moth CT said it was Uncle Gimlet's kind heart that had made them all so happy.
 Then Mir. Gimlet got another letter. It was round robin from all. the Bumps, with the little Bump names and marks upon it, too It made the old man very happy. He was sitting among a lot of pleasant things that had been sent in for his Christmas 1tree, but he was not thinking very much of them. He sat with the let l ter ins,his hand and a far-off look in his eyee as he thought of the sweet ness of love, and felt that the best gift that he had received was the happy surp,r.i sss the ;tth he had given to I the people on the prairie farm.

an alarm clock. Its bell was ringing like everything. This was to wake the Old Folks up.
 First, he called the roll, to see If they were all up and awake. Then, he began to pick the presents off the tree.
 Soon the room was gay with dolls, horns and jumping jacks.
 A doll was riding in her carriage, squeaking and rising up every few feet as she rode along.
 There was a talking doll, too. She sang and talked when they pushed the buttons on her dress.
 There were hot dolls for cold nights and cups and balls for the Old Folks to play with when they could not sleep.
 The Old Folks all played with their presents. They blew on their horns, and amused themselves with the jump ing-jacks, and sent the moving toys running about the room all at once.
 But, after all, the Old Folks thought 1t wasn't so very much fun because there were no real children there. So they sent out to see If they could find some.
 They found Lucy, Peter, Billy, Mary, Sally, Hilda, Rrth,, and some other children, who all came to see the Old Folks Christmas tree.
 Lucy told the Old Folks the story about her dog Trump.
 Trump was tramp dog, but he dressed up in a blanket, with belt. Then, with a beribboned straw hat on his head, he would walk across the room upon his hind legs.
 After Lucy came Peter
 Peter said that he did not know any stories, but once he carried the flag for the big boys baseball team, and they let him go in to see the base ball game, free.
 Then Billy told story.
 He said that once he sat up all night, waiting for Santa Claus to come and fill his stocking. That is, he tried to sit up all night; but Santa Claus didn't come and so he fell asleep in the dark. The next day the doctor came to see him. The doctor told him he had had "stockingitis."
 Billy said, too, that when he woke up in the early morning and foupd that Santa Claus had forgotten to fill his stocking, he was going to throw himself on the floor and pound his heels on 1t and holler. But then he happened to remember how ugly his

course there are very extenuating cir cumstances at times. But I think most of them could be avoided If people talked openly and candidly be- fore they were married"
 He told her then that he cared for children, that they would mean a great deal to him.
 She felt herself growing more and more tense. The whole of her ached for him. Yes, she had waited all her life for him, never mistaking in any of the others, the substitute for the real.
 q feel as you do," she said softly q love children '
 And she spoke the truth. But yet a truth that was only half a truth.
 They were married, in the little will lage church on Christmas Eve and when later the carols peaed forth they felt as though even the carols were for their happiness alone!
 They had been married several years. Closer and closer had they grown together How glad she was she had waited until she was sure she loved. She had had so many pro posals, and there were girls who had had so few. She had often thought of the girl to whom the simplest of pleasures had come as a complete and magnificent joy. This girl had had no attentions, her life had been almost manless. At last came man into her life, very slowly, very internationally, but each slow step along the way was one which thrilled her and which mounted up to huge and great propor- tions. It had to be a great deal to rouse Marjorie but Gregory had reused her-fully.
 She had always kept her fresh charm and her appeal though she had left youth behind. Her skin was smooth, her color good, her eyes dark and lustrous and her hair had no traces of gray.
 But during this time no children had come to them. Gregory now didn't seem to care whether they came or not He was quite content with her.
 People change their ideas after they marry if they really love the woman they marry" he used to tell her. Before they have theories. Now if children came, all well and good But I couldn't be any happier than am now"
 She knew he spoke the truth. She knew it. He was even jealous of her eageFness for children. Was this what 1t meant to marry, he some times asked himself. Did people for

 "Sing. little Jesus, sing for me.
 There's nothing on my Christmas tree." You see, this little boy had a tree, but there wasn't thing on it, not even leaf. So he planned how to get some thing to grow upon it. Finally, he sang the song that Donald heard in his dream, and the next time he looked out there was his tree, full of red and gold apples, with leaves on all the twigs and many pretty things among them, and Donald saw it all in his dream.
