 Another half hour found Jacques hugging an orange and a little doll under his coat as he trudged along home. When he opened the door a little voice started chanting, "Frere Jacques, Frere Jacques-you're late tonight"
 "Yes, Marthe. Today I was talk. Ing to Santa on the corner, and he said he was awfully busy. He doubted If he would get all around this year."

BLIZZARD was brewing. Little cutting pieces of snow were being blown in whirls around corners and down the street. Huddled down in his coat stood 8 newsboy of some eight or nine years. His face was drawn with the

n HERE Is a contrast to the holiday
 A atmosphere as one passes into the dark and damp underground way out of the great depot. A chill strikes upon the soul as well as upon the body. The passer hurries on to escape Into the light and cheer of the street. He hugs his Christmas packages a little closer and tries to whistle him. self into something like gayety.
 , Suddenly he is startled and helped by the tones of merry tune and dis covers the old blind man who has long haunted the dismal place. For years this unfortunate has made 1t his ono business to stand there and pipe up the failing spirits of travellers. His face has refused the marks of dark ness and his soul has kept gladness behind its closed and curtained win dows. As one stops to leave token and word of appreciation with him he says, Thank you; don't know as ever did anybody any good; some people don't like It."

gurgle! He forgot all about that tooth that was making so much fuss about coming through. left him kicking up his heels and growing like a young rooster"
 Sally and Jerry laughed.
 "shall I dance for youH' asked the Snow Fairy politely.
 "Oh, yes," beseeched the children.
 Up jumped the white little person, and In the twinkling of an eye she had begun. The children never saw such dancing In their lives. Never.
 The Snow Fairy pirouetted on top of the clock she whirled like a crystal prism. She jumped down and made a low bow to a china shepherdess, and then the shepherdess threw away her crook and danced with the fairy. Away they went. whirling and bobbing and turning and dipping. They jumped over vases; they peeked out behind pictures, they fairly flew through the air until you could not tell which was the Snow Fairy and which the china shepherdess.
 Jerry and Sally clapped their hands and laughed until they could laugh no longer. They forgot all about parties and new slippers and making snow men.
 Then the strangest thing happened. They could not see the Snow Fairy at all. She wasn't there, and if you'll believe me, the china shepherdess was standing stiffly in her old spot as though she'd never had thought of moving in her life.
 Dear mel" said Sally rubbing her eyes.
 Dear mel" said Jerry, rubbing his.
 Mother came in soon after that. She stood smiling down upon them.
 Both you children were sound asleep on your stools when I was in here before. Do come and have some thing good to eat. have little party all ready for you"
 And Sally and Jerry never said a word about the Snow Fairy. But they were as cheerful as cherubs the rest of the day.

not at first see the little person perched on the edge of the mantel.
 -How do you de?' asked a tiny voice. It tinkled like fairy sleigh bell.
 Mercy" exclaimed Sally.
 Jerry just winked his eyes very fast
 Here am up by the clock" tinkled the voice again.
 And sure enough, there she was h. deed. The children saw her now. A wee, slender bit of thing about the size of a sweet pea. And she was the whitest creature you could imagine. Snowflake ruffies with crystal trim. ming, icicle jewels In her hair, and eyes bright and frosty as stars.
 Jerry and Sally gasped Sally wanted to jump up and hug her. But you can't do that with a Snow Fairy 1; she'd melt all to pieces In your fingers, and then where would you be7
 T have come to pay you a little call," laughed the fairy because I like to talk with children who are i'll and can't go out. I just came from a house down the street where a baby is cutting a tooth. Such cunning baby !! played hide and seek under its chin, and you should have heard him

late afternoon and growing a little dark.
 Suddenly Sally's pigtails stuck out straight behind her in surprise.
 Whats that?" she whispered, and her eyes were big as saucers.
 "Where?" asked Jerry, a little star tied too.
 T saw something white fit in at the door!"
 "So did l."
 The children looked cautiously around. Nothing was to be seen.
 Just an ordinary room, bright fire and two children in front of It.
 Funny" unused Sally.
 There was the faintest rustic by the clock on the mantel. It sounded like snowflakes talking together.
 "There! 1 heard something again :" said Sally.
 Both children stared at the clock, for that was where the sound came from.
 It was quite dark by this time, ex. cept for the light from the logs, % 1t was natural that Jerry and Saify did Iwps

at all; you would say that Jerry and Sally had small, white pears on their faces, and pretty sQuashed pears at that. This Is what window-glass does to two children who have the whooping cough, and are standing as closely as possible against the nearest thing to getting out-a window.
 Jerry dug his fists down into his pockets and looked as cross as a bear. Sally blinked very fast to keep the tears from rolling down her cheeks, and her two pigtails quivered unhap- oily.
 Well miss the party and the games and the goodies .. and every thing" she walled.
 II don't care about the old party !" declared Jerry scornfuly. What I want is to get out and make a snow man. Look al all this perfectly good snow going to waste! I call il a shame" And you would have thought by his tone that all blizzards were in- vented for the express purpose of giv- ing little boys the opportunity of play ing in it.
 Mary Randalls going to wear her new pink dress and her slippers :" sniffed Sally, and have red dress and new slippers to-o-o" This last thought was almost too much. and one large tear did manage to tumble over and down her cheek. Jerry pretended not 10 see it. Perhaps he was having trouble with his own eyes. though of course boys never cry, not even when tomorrow's Christmas and everything is spoiled because of whooping cough.
 Mother said we should have to have a party by ourselves and make be- lieve that lots of people came 10 it." said Sally.
 Jerry grunted. He didn't care much for this make-believe stuff-too sisSi, fled. Let's sit down in front of the open fire" suggested Sally, land tell stories I'm tired of looking out of the window. Perhaps something nice will happen who can tellf"
 So the two children settled them selves in front Of the fire, They drew up two low stools and they each sat with their elbows on their knees and their chins in their hands. It was very warm and cosy. The logs cracked and sputtered as though they were doing their best to cheer other people up, and the dancing flames had a regular parade up and down the wood. It was

His Mother Was Just as Excited as He

and no sewing vas going to be left oyer to bother her.
 Marines bedtime came. and Jacques fixed his presents in preparation for the morrow. He had found Christ mas tree branch in the street, and this he made into little tree under which he placed his gifts.
 Christmas morning dawned brightly in the little French home. Jacques surprise was, complete, for Marthe went into raptures over the tree and her presents. She alternately hugged and kissed her doll, keeping up a con. stant chatter to 1t in French. The orange and few other presents that she had found under the tree she put on the shelf. so that she could admire them while she rocked her doll.
 Jacques had had his surprise, too Give and 1t shall be given unto you" flor his two packets under the tree had grown to be six or seven.
 Mother" he said. T think I will have to try my new mittens and see exactly how warm they are" So say. ing. he slipped into his coat and pushed on the door, What aileV fl? Was 1t frozen shut, stuck. or what was the matter?
 With his mothers help the door was opened. To their surprise they found that huge pile of packages had been the cause of their trouble.
 Jacques gave cry of delight as he bounced upon the bundles. His mother was just as excited as he, as she helped carry in the stuff.
 Then followed one of the happiest hours the family had ever known whole twO-dozen oranges and all sorts of wholesome food. Jacques mother fairly wept with joy.
 Santa remembered us after all, mother,' said little Jacques, "and he left this note on one of my presents. Look. mother, 1t says:-
 "I hope you will always be as thoughtful of your sister, Jacques. A Merry Christmas and a Bright and Happy New Year.

TAN there be anyone who does noi V polish up his holiday spirit by reading Dickens Christmas Carol? Is there anyone who does not give him. self the fun of skimming down the slide with Bob Cratchit and laughing at his comforter, three yards long, ex elusive of the fringe" stream out be- hind him like the woolly tail of kite?
 Is there anyone who does not creep up the cold staircase with Old Scrooge and shlver into his dismal roo there to eat small and lonely bowl of DOT ridge with the crusty old gentleman !
 Is there anyone who does not love Tiny Tim and his wee. brave crutch? And Mrs. Cratchit. who can cook a goose. to beat anything thus far ac- complished In the history of mankind?
 And then. when we follow the Spirit of Christmas Past, can anyone fail to be moved by the forlorn little figure of Old Scrooge as lad, left in loneli ness at school during the holidays? Could anything be more pathetic?
 Has anyone such astounding control of his feet that he can prevent them from dancing at MT. Fezziwig's partyi And where Is the impossible person who can suppress cheer at that re- markable gentleman's performance with his legs? If such there be, go mark him we'll" for he has no pleas ant places in his heart for these de liuhffuI bumors
 And then the damsel with the "lace tucker" Dear me. what a chase she gave one interested young man in Blind Mans Buff! And how he paid her up for 1t in a certain shadowy corner of the room; how he did, in. deed! But she liked 1t. Oh, yes. she liked 1t very much indeed. did the dam sel with the lace tucker!

CHRISTMAS LETTERS

c OMETIMES a letter means o more than all the cards and gifts in the world. Why not send a Christmas message by letter this year? A bright holiday seal stuck at the top will introduce your remarks in jolly fashion, and then you may continue with whatever you think friendly and suitable. This Is a cheap method In the actual expenditure of money but a rich outlay of thought for those you love. Have you not discovered that something somebody does just for you Is more precious than a present bought In hurry? Christmas letters bring great joy. Try some and see.

cold and he beat his hands against his sides to keep them warm.
 Last-minute Christmas shoppers, hurrying along to get their various errands done, gave no thought to the little fellow who pestered them with his papers. He ought to have known better when they had so many things to think about.
 "Yeh, all the news-the latest news. Won't cha buy one, mister? only have a couple more" He looked up pleadingly into the face of a passer' by.
 "sorry, sonny" smiled the man" "got one here now that I probably won't ever get chance to read-so busy" and he hurried along his way.
 The rush of pedestrians subsided a moment. The boy singled out young woman, as he said. "She looks kind. IF try her"
 "Yeh-all the latest news-just out -Eon't cha buy one, please, lady? 1 9nly have a few"
 ahe opened her purse and started to hunt for the money.
 i've just got to sell these papers oat early tonight, cause it's my last chance to buy that doll. You know, my little sister. they say, isn't very well, and the only thing she says she wants is an orange for Christmas, but I know better" He paused for breath.
