A JOLLY
SCRAP-BOOK
BY MARTHA B. THOMAS
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

FOLLY scrap-books for children who
j are unfortunate in being i'll in hos
pitfalls at Christmas time-or in any
other place, for that matter-may be
made of bright-colored advertisements
pasted on cloth. Dark-green cambria
makes an excellent background. If it
is cut in rectangles Of IS inches by IL
and folded once through the center of
the longest side, you have then four
large pages for your book. Three Of
these rectangles make respectable
showing and give enough space for
many pictures.
The brighter advertisements the bet
ter, and if You can think of a funny
name to paste underneath each one,
the children will squeal with delight.
Sometimes variation may be gained by
cutting the pictures in outline, If the
figures are large enough. Covers of
magazines often afford good material.
A pretty cover for your book may be
arranged by cutting small squares into
triangles, using the gummed paper

II couldn't marry you" Hilda had
said, "as you are really nothing but q
child. / need a man more my own
mental equal" A
But you're two years younger thtt7
I am" Horace had protested. y
"True," Hilda had admitted, "but
woman is always so much older than
a man." Hilda called herself WON
an from the time she was sixteen until
she was twenty-one.
Again and again Horace proposed.
Hilda always put him off, but she al
ways seemed to come back to him af-
ter each worrisome Irritation. Per-
sistency and devotion were Horace's
strong points, and every Christmas as
he took her the yellow rosebuds, which
was his choice Of a Christmas bouquet,
he proposed anew. It was Horace's
annual declaration
Hilda loved the flowers-the rose.
buds were always so pretty and Hor.
ace had so much taste. Always In the
center was a spray Of holly, and they
were tied with gay red ribbon. And

Hilda Always Put Him Uff.

Hilda cared for Horace, too. But not
enough, not quite enough.
When Hilda was twenty-five she al.
most yielded. Someone had that day
asked Hilda her age. She had candid.
ly admitted she was twenty-five.
Later in the afternoon she had
heard that "if Hilda admitted to TWEEN.
ty-five she must at least be thirty-twG."
Hilda felt old then, discouraged. Btl
she didn't quite accept Horace.
From then on Hilda's age was very
uncertain. Horace was fearfui lest
at first Hilda drop a year every yearl
She could never claim eighteen, or
even twenty, even though she was very
young in appearance, baffiingiy SO.
Hilda had been thirty for the past
three years now, and still Horace was
around, admiring her, loving her, more
and more all the time.
But the strain had almost been too
much. Horace had loved Hilda very
long time. Hilda had taken a long
time alone to become thirty. He
would ask her once more to marry
him. then he would go away, never to
return he told himself dramatically.
"Hilda," he said to her as he gave
her the Christmas bouquet for the
well, he wouldn't keep track of the
number Of times eNct In his mind

hnally, tonight. l can't bear this any
longer.
wont you marry me, my darling7
Right away, without any more wait
Ing? Can't we start out the new year
togetherT
Cant we-my darling?"
And at last Horace knew bliss.
Shyly, sweetly, clingingly, and with
such slow yielding awakening Hilda
was In his arms, and as she lifted her
lips to his she murmured:
sand you'll take care of me, won't
you, Horace? And always be good to
me? For I'm only a Child, Horace
dear. and l mustn't. mustn't ever be
dlsillrsioned."
And Horace was filed with Christ
mas charity. He did not tell her of
the time-a good many years back
now-when she had told him he was
too young for herl

was very difficult, indeed, to devise
new sensation for young Wilson or
t,bdle a new desire.
With the posturing group Of enter
lainers performing on the snow-cov-
cred lawn before the house, however,
4 was different. They struck atti-
Eodes, formed figures, chased each
saher about, and gave their whole pro-
gram of tabieau with an eye on the

piration of the hope that it would be
A large one. They'd never outgrOwn a

Hilda promised to marry
Horace when she grew up If he'd give
her plenty of hot buttered popcorn and
Christmas candy elephants in the
meantime. 1t was a strain on Hor-
aces slender allowance and 1t was not
always easy to get candy elephants,
but he succeeded on the whole.
There was something so nice about
Hilda. She never made remarks as
some girls did, and men too, for that
matter, which were so annoying.
When she rang up on the telephone
she did not say "Guess who's talking,
now, just guess" and disguise her
voice. She always considered wheth-
err a person might not very easily be
busy, and so did not have what some
considered little joke.
There were some kinds Of people
Horace couldn't endure. There were
those who said. for example: "If the
lightning is going to strike you, It's
going to strike you. It's absurd to
say you're afraid Of it."
Then there were those who would
say in answer to a query about the
temperature of the ocean and its con-
dition for swimming:
"The water? Why, the waters wet"
And then-expected him to laugh.
There were those who would say
'How come" and expected to be put
In bright class, as though they'd said
something startlingly original.
Then there were those who sent pic
ture postcards of foreign places when
