old lady, with white hair. stopped In

frosty stars and there was something
about her that made one think OF

quick eyes, or maybe the way she put
her head on one side and looked so ex-
ceedingly wise and happy. The man
with the tin whistle thought she was

Human Nature
VS.. the
Christmas Spirit
~~~---~-~~~~~
BY Mary Graham Bonner
%. iSss. western Newspaper UHloaJ

NHTE WE'RE full OF the Christmas
" spirit. We were going 10 be more
klndly. more charitable, more friendly
with the whole world. The Christmas
spirit had penetrated. We could feel
tts warm glow. And sO-after a glO-
ri0us Christmas IN the old homestead
We were on our way hack 20 the city
where lately our work had taken us.
The travel was heavy. OF course.
and we found ourselves waiting AZ
the end Of a long line to get into the
dining car. We waited for an hour by
eur watches. We were exhausted from
having stood and from annoyance az
the slowness of others and because we
we're very hungry
Finally the line grew shorter. Soon
sur turns would come. But Il seemed
not. For those who had gone into the
dining car at last 10 eat took time
about II even though their absence
MADE the waiting line a shorter one.
At last we were at the head Of the
line. IL had been q long process 20
work up 20 this point and We smiled
at one another.
"Only q moment now and well be
eating" we fairly beamed the words.
But again Il seemed not so. For
those AZ the tables were eating and
eating and eating. They would never
finish. Il appeared. when they APP
preached the end Of their meal and we
almost bounded 20 the nearly-yacant
table we discovered they were taking
their time over their coffee.
How selfish people are" we said 20
each other. "How much 6hey lack the
unselfsh Christmas spirit. II means
nothing 10 them They know there Is
q great line waiting and they don't
hurry In the least. Why. Just think Of
the length Of time we've waited and
there are more 10 follow US. And yet
those people can be as leisurely as
though they were In theiz own homes.
It's outrageous. simply outrageous.
how utterly selfish people are.
And yOa would think at this time OF
the year they'd be a little more
thoughtful"
And 20 our exhaustion was added
the sorrow we felt n the thoughtless-
ness OF human nature.
and then-the head waiter sum-
moned US % n table. Two persons had
ct last arisen and az last our turns
had actually come!
We sat back and luxuriously perused
the menu. Wei. we were hungry. We'd
have a good meal
And we began 20 order.
~And I'm just going 70 take my
time about Il. too" said. "Just be
cause people stani there and glare al
e as thnuEh we almost had no right
20 be eagiug our meal. isn't going 10
make me hurry"
II Shoulc say rot" said my COM
