for they were going to the Sunday School Christmas celebration. Kate was going to speak piece. She wore her best white dress with blue sash, but you couldn't see 1t now on ac- count of her big coat and pink tippet and the plaid laprobe. let alone the big covered basket she held on her lap.
 When they reached the church they found ever so many buggies and wagons already there. The horses were covered with blankets. Light streamed out of the church door and inside 1t was all bright with holly. red bells. evergreens and happy faces.
 You should have seen the big gor- geous Tree covered with balls and strings of silver tinsell It stood on platform in front and under 1t were heaped packages tied with red rib- bon. Kate and her mother took their presents up and put them under the Tree.
 Then you should have heard the carols sung by the Sunday School!

A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT

~ o many rich children forget the poor during the holy Christmas
 N tide. But the very name of Christ v mas should bring the thought of doing good towards others to their minds and hearts. Christ lived for others-not for Himself. And to that Divine Love we owe our Christmas time.
 There are always the poor children whose holiday season will be cheerless unless those more fortunately placed will help to make it happy. In every well-to-do household there are many, many little toys-still in good repair that might make glad the hearts of some poor children whose stockings. hung beside a cheerless fireplace, would otherwise be empty. Let every boy and every sgirl who can do 50 gather together as many trinkets and toys as he or she can spare from his or her own store of playthings and see that they are carefully distributed among the poor. Boys and girls might regulate the work of giving by ap- pointing committees to attend to the distribution of gifts and thus they

 Oh! What a wonderful tree-big RED. BLUE.

A little boy with curly hair got up and walked up to the platform and was handed a package. Kate could see the top of Maggie's bonnet from where she sat.
 "Oh. won't she be surprised when she gets her present." Each girl and boy got up when names were called and took a pack age.
 Kate CollumI" Up Jumped Kate. She got a lovely book from her Sunday School teacher. Maggie's name was called. The big l covered basket had a big ribbon on the handle. As Maggie took her present there was a "cluck. cluclx," and out popped Plym's head, which made everybody laugh. "Oh, lookit the chicken" cried the boys Maggie laughed too. and Kate thought: "I don't see anything so funny in my present."
 Kate Collum!" Up jumped Kate. She was handed large covered basket decorated with red crepe paper.
 Must be fruit" she thought. for the basket was heavy. T hope it's oranges and nuts!"
 She opened the lid, and what do you suppose? Out popped the frazzIv white head of Maggie's old hen, Well. I do declare!" cried K.ta What do you think of that? Magp,e.s given me her hen! Wasn't that inst too dear of her! Her only hen. And such pretty. smart-looking hen tool"
 As they were leaving to Eo home the two little girls met outside. each carrying her hen.
 Thank you so much" Kate cried I'll take good care of your hent,,
 "Oh. Kate!" cried Maggie, "Wasn.. It funny we should both give hens? Ii was just dear of you to give me yours. She'll have the best of care"
 Hasn't this been a dandy Christ mas!' Kate exclaimed.
 "Yes. the loveliest ever!"
 Jingle. jingle. jingle! went the sleigh bells. "All aboard." cried Daddy. In jumped Kate beside her mother and snuggled under the lap- robe.
 Merry Christmas! Merry Christ masi" shouted everybody.
 Merry Christmas to all and to all good night!" cried little Kate.

would know that none were left un- supplied while others fared too well by receiving more than their share of the donated gifts.
 And not only toys and trinkets should be got together, but useful things as we'll There are outgrown hats. caps, shoes, coats. frocks that our boys and girls can no longer wear. There are many poor children of all ages and sizes to be found in need of such things. And little baskets of fruit and nuts and candy-that can be got for a small sum at the corner fruit stand--are always Joyously re- ceived by the little folk of the poor. for 1t is not their privilege to buy of such things whenever appetite dic- tates.
 So while your hearts are made rlad by plenty of good cheer at Christmas time. do not turn deaf ears or blind eyes toward the poor. By making others happy you will be- happier yourself, for charity is the gfeatest of all virtues. ''Do unto others as you would have others do unto you"

 "Oh! Look at those big white pack ages tied with RED ribbons and those RED and YELLOW striped candy canes" cried Teddy.

 Susie Mays dress was light BLUE with sash, socks and slippers to match. Teddy's suit was light GREEN and he wore a RED necktie and YELLOW socks and shoes.
 The room had YELLOW paper on the wall and big holly wreath at the window. The wreath had GREEN (use a touch of BLUE in with the GREEN to make the color deeper), and bright RED berries and big RED bow. There were pretty white curtains at the window. The window frame was a dark BROWN like the floor and the trunk of the Christmas tree.
 The border Is all made of holly the same coioring as the wreath and the lettering is RED, edged with YELL LOW.

"Maggie's my very, very best friend and she's 0 dear and her dad was killed in the war and I saved up and bought her the grandest little cup and saucer and now it's b-b-b-roke and haven't anything to give her!

 "Cluck. clucki" said Plym. picking up corn most remarkably fast.
 Kate suddenly stopped crying and looked at the hen. Then she clapped her hands and cried: q know!" and ran pell-mell into the house.
 "Oh Mommer!" she called. "I'm going to give Maggie my Plymouth Rock hen!"
 Mother was just taking a pan of spicey brown gingersnaps out of the oven.
 You don't mean 1t. Katel" she exclaimed. T thought you loved that hen"

And how well Kate did say her piece with never a pause or a mistake! She had been watching the big covered basket under the Tree. There had been nary a cluck out of Plym the whole time.
