For Bin, her beloved, took the part
OF Santa Claus every Christmas for
one Of the big city stores. He was an
Ideal Santa Claus. He wasn't too tall,
he was not too short he was rather
inclined to stockiness of build, and
extra clothes made him look an ideal

In a Santa Claus costume he was per

How the children did adore him

he waved a goodbye to them and
called them:

images before him, ne looked once
more upon one who had gone to some
unknown land, the son who had so
mysteriously disappeared from the
home fellowship and ken, and he saw
again the form of her who had set out
for the land that is beyond the stars,
but not before she had placed in his
hand the precious vase with the pic
tured flute player upon fits side.
At the time he had not fully noted
the significance of the happy urchin
In the red robe as he held his flute to
his lips. Pleasures and pursuits
pressed upon him and left the musi.
clan unnoticed through the days and
nights. But the boy had never ceased
his playing, and now with some re-

adventure in the world of harmony,

milton and appreciation that he knew

The wise hostess wishes to prevent
her young guests from pairing off and
remaining with their escorts the entire
evening. To change partners in a
novel and entertaining way in the
course Of the evening, have ready n
circle of green cardboard divided into
as many sections rs there are girls
present. Write a girls name in each
division. Now cut out large red
posteboard star with a white arrow
painted on one of the points. ana
fasten this star to the center of the
cardboard circle by means of n large
pin Each boy in turn comes up and
spins the star, and the maiden whose
name Is Indicated when the white ar
row comes TO rest Is accorded him as
partner. OF course, If a girls name
has already been chosen the boy must
spin again. This spinning star Will
result in much mirth for the young

played the Old schoolmaster young
again and fixed his thought upon a life
hat never grows old.
Indeed, the flute player has even en-.
couraged the sch0olmaster to begin
teaching again. The scholars are his
grandchildren. They are not having
a hard time, for they sing on their way
to lessons. They are not unhappy
scholars, for one Of them threw kiss
to the last Christmas moon. Last
summer another Of them became n
poetess and composed the following
appreciation Of nature:
Above the Argonne Forest
A Star is shining fair;
Its gentle beams awaken
The young men sleeping there.
Again in songs of angels
The birth Of Christ is told;
The young men go to greet Him
With richer gifts than gold.
The flute player is setting this to
music. This scholar has already
learned to write, She has proved that
by producing an invitation to one Of
the school sessions in this form:
Dear Aunt Fanny:
Please come Friday, II you can; and
II you can't come don't come.
