and that now there was no tree for
them
She argued with herself that she
might have known that the New York
shops could not be relied upon to send
q tree to the suburbs at so short a
notice, but that did not help the
situation.
Regina shrank from facing those 12
little girls whose smiles would vanish
in childish disappointment when they
learned that the tree they had been
promised was not to be theirs.
The tears brmmed over and fen
hegina's vision was cleared and in
the clearing she gazcd directly at the
miniature fir tree in the vacant lot
next door. A sense OF keen delight
swept over Regina. After all, her chill
dren would have tree!

fur cap fitted closely.

hope no one will see YOU"
Now, this nickname to which Re.
gnas mother alluded with distress
had been bestowed upon the girl by
hcr father. 1t was Tommy-no more
and no less-Tommy And Tommy
stood for tomboy. You sec, the girl
was no dollhouse flower, even if she
did teach Sunday school class and
weep with disappointment. In fact,
her father insisted that the nickname
Gtted-and secretly he was proud that
IL did. For Regina was distinctly able
bodied. She could ride and swim.
She could handle Il 20-gauge shotgun
and casting rod She was a notable
mountainccr. She could paddle canoe
and sail boat. And she cared a lot
more for out.ofdoors things than she
did for dances and for social functions.
Her idea Of happiness was camp

Regina laughed, and shouldered an Ak.

toward the fir tree in the vacant lot.
Regina's eyes were too intent on her

claimed half aloud.
The little tree stood not much high

veil Of smoke seemed to linger. After
moment spent in admiration the girl
put down her big tub and began to
clear away the light fall of snow from
about the roots Of the tree. Her
cheeks were gloriously red and the
sparkle in her eyes rivaled the day It.

again.
"IIey! What are you doing to that

Regina dropped her AK and gazed
In the direction OF the deep, gruff
voice. A man was standing on the
veranda Of the bungalow.
