With what gratitude Aunt Sophia's
eyes beamed at that. "NO, Of course
you couldn't get seat there" she
agreed. "And 1 wouldn't let you if you
could, you generous young man! But
I will tell you what 1 will do. I'll get
up a little supper for you two if you'll
come in after the theater, and you
may bring some of your friends. That
will be splendid. I'll have a merry
evening, truly, getting ready for you"
And she really would. Her face
told them that. For even better than
gayety on Christmas night, is the OPP
portunity to do a loving thing for
someone dear to you. And Violet was

why hadn't father planned something
for Sophia for tonight? Why hadn't
he got a seat for her? How could
her dear blessed parents be so
thoughtess? Why, Aunt Sophia was
mothers own sister. "And mother
never seemed TO guess how dreary 1t
must be on Christmas Eve"
Violet hushed her criticism Of her
parents and took action herself. No
other girl in Williamsvllle, 1t Is safe
10 say, would have done what she did
then.
Lets go to the movies instead"
she whispered eagerly and quickly In
richards ear, "and take Aunt Sophia
with u.s."
Richard was amazed, and disap-
pointed. But when he had looked
across the hall at Aunt Sophia he
suddenly understood. Well, Violet
had always known he was the best
comrade and the most understanding
girl could ever have whether he was
ever to be more or not. Now he JUST
fed that faith.
"Good for you" he whispered back,
and together they went over to Aunt
Sophia. But Aunt Sophia would not
hear Of 1t. mo indeed. Anyway, NOV

dinner, for Violet's aunt and uncle and
her cousins were still there, and I'M

"Time to start for the theater?"
Violets father exclaimed in amaze
ment when he saw Richard. 'Well,
we'd better get our things on, too"
1t seemed that not only youth was
going to the musical comedy. But
Aunt Sophia was not going. She had
not thought to get herself a ticket, and
apparently no one had thought for her.
Aunt Maud was going with her hus-
band. The young cousins were going
with their beaux. Mrs. Martin with
Mr.. Martin. And Violet was going
with Dick.
Aunt Sophia until this minute had
not realized how lonely a Christmas
night she had in store for herself at
home in her tiny apartment. She
stood now, gazing about almost like
a child afraid of sudden loneliness.
But no one noticed the look, and
Sophia had never meant they should

tin, who was neither the prettiest, nor
the richest, nor the cleverest Of the
maldens, agreed with them In their es-

Richard was in love with Violet, too,
He was quite certain Of that. But he
was spoiled. Anyone would be spoiled
who was adOred as Richard was
adored. You see, it was not only the
girls-there was his mother who had
spoiled him from infancy. That is
why Richard, although he knew he
loved this girl who wasn't the prettiest,

quite come to the point Of proposing.
For Violet. who was honestly in love
with him (not like the others who
were in love with the idea Of perhaps
being loved by this herO) dared not
show her alteration. No, she dared
only be as frank and cOmradely as a
boy, and treat him like an equal.
And Richard was little put out

FILM FANS OF EUROPE DEMAND GIRLS WHO ARE VERY GRACEFUL

BERLIN, July 21.-Young women with graceful hands and feet are now being sought by European film directors in their efforts to compete with American films. American pic lures long ago made it difficult for the film studios of Central Europe to market their pictures abroad, or even at home, if the heroines were not young and beautiful
 The practice of featuring famous actresses regardless of their looks has gone into the discard. For a long time the German and Swedish moving picture producers clung ten aciously to the theory that histronic art was the chief feature of a film but today they are looking for youth and beauty of figure, as well as beauty of face.

The tie game between the league leading Moose and the ambitious American Legion team will be play cd off tomorrow at City Park, ac- cording to an announcement made by President Dolly" Gray this morning. The game will be called at 2:00 p. m.
 The American Legion outfit is confident it will take the measure of the hard-hiting Moose aggrega- tion. They believe Burt is the one hurler in the League that can turn back the wrecking crew and expect to have their faith justified in Sun days game. Burt has not pitched since the tie game against the Moosc and is said to be in good condition for the game.
 Jimmy McCloskey will be on the firing line for the Moose. He is going better in every game and if his teammates give him few runs should be able to hold the exsoldiers in cheek. He turned back the min CTS last Thursday in a Thinning game allowing them seven hits and but three earned runs.

Injury Halts Closest Match of Tournament-H -Harland
 Defeats Kline.

An injury to Ed Beaudin yester- day halted the hardest fought match so far played in the tournament put on by the Juneau Tennis Club, With the score 7-6 against him in the third set of his match with L. D. Henderson, Beaudin turned his ankle severely injuring it. It was thought today that he had suffered broken bone but an X-ray examination was to be made this afternoon to deter mine the extent of the hurt.
 Only one other match was played yesterday. c. E. Harland defeated J. H. Kline in straight sets, 6-2 and 6-1. This was the fastest played match yet held, consuming about 9 minutes.
 In the Henderson Beaudin match the former took the first set 6.4. Beaudin hit a swift clip in the see ond match, turning the tables on his opponent. and won 6-3. Both men played good tennis in the third set up to the time of the accident Their style was in direct contrast, Henderson playing safe, steady game while Beaudin won many points by the rapidity of his play. It was anybody's match when the accident stopped the play. If Beaudin is able to play within two or three days the deciding set will be resumed otherwise the match will go to Hen derson by default.
