A MQht Before Christmas

can't ever play WIN anybody
Aunt Mary sat down in the one
rocking chair, and took little Louise
in her arms before she answered, and
the child looking up saw that her
eyes were very sad. Instantly the
impulsive little heart repented, and
she flung her arms around her aunt's
neck impetuously.
"1'm naughty" she declared, fright
on Christmas eve. Don't look sorry
Aunt Mary I'd rather stay here with
you than to play with any Of those
children. But you know, auntie, it
does seem queer that we live here
and still can't ever know any Of the
folks," 7
The woman's clasp Of the fragile
form frightened, and she pressed her
lips to the sunny hair before she
answered.
"Listen Louise" she said earnestly
"your mother was lady; and your
father is a gentleman; they are not
like these people. We have to live
here, until daddy comes home again
because we are poor and have no
money to pay for nice place to
live in but we don't have to make
friends Of these people. I suppose
many of them are good kind folks,
but you see little girl auntie cannot
let you play in the streets. think
your mama's heart would be sad,
even up in Heaven, to see her little
| girl in such company. When daddy
comes home he will take US to 4
nicer place to live, where there are
flowers and grass and trees, and
nice little girls to play with"
"But when will he come? He's
been away such q long time I can
hardly remember how he looks. II

(Vallie NJ. Seitz).

If you want to feel the pulse Of
humanity, to get a glimpse Of the
real life Of the struggling, pictur-
esque masses, stroll leisurely down
through that tangled, teeming section
on the lower East Side of New York
on Christmas eve. For the Christ
mas spirit is joyously impartial. It
flutters its shining wings as gaily
over the Bowery and Hester street as
over Broadway and Fifth Avenue.
The toys are cheaper but they are
painted just as brightly; the wreaths
do not wear shining rosettes Of real
satin, but they faunt enormous bows
Of scarlet tissue paper; the tinsel
ornaments sell at ten for q cent
rather than ten dollars per dozen;
but the children Of the tenements
gaze at them with a round eyed Won
der and delight that surpasses any
emotions felt by the little aristocrats
further up town, who have pleasures
every day in the year.
And, in the East Side one may
study contrasts to his hearts con-
tent or perhaps to his hearts dis
content, if he happens to possess
very strong sympathies. For, though
the spirit is also an impartial one
his ravages are decorously hidden on
Fifth Avenue. The rich may conceal
their woes and worries, or their hap
piness and festivities, with drawr
| shutters and closed carriages, but
the sorrows and the anxieties Of tht
poor flaunt themselves in the face 0!
every passer-by, and the scenes o:
their small triumphs and rejoicing
usually stand open to the observation
of the curious. Here the thrifty hea'
of family, rejoicing in "stead,
job,' is buying toys and confectioner,
galore for the morrow's festivities
there a white faced woman, with
shawl over her head, buys a solitar
stick of bright striped candy; furthe
along a group Of black-haired, bare
headed girls select with much gig
Cling comment, the flaring necktie
that their .veethaarts will proud
wear to the Christmas dance; Will
at a wagon on the corner below,
proud youth is exchanging three do
lars for an enormous white muf th'
will shelter someone's hands as e.
fectively as if it were made Of rel
fox. And everywhere there are chi
dren, staring into the shop window
running in and out among the crowd
darting back and forth across tn
streets, apparently escaping deaf
only momentary miracles.
But on this special Christmas ev
there was one child Of the tenement
who was not running gleefully aroun
with the children on the streets, lr
stead, she stood by little window
high above the street, her nose flat
tened against the pane, her big blu
eyes strained to catch glimpses c
the crowds below.
"Why couldn't we 60 out for lii
tie while, Aunt Mary?" she begge
wistfully. s1t's Christmas eve, an
everyone else is out on the street =?
"That's just the reason why "
i. can't 60 DEAR" was the quiet repl!
