so many things; so many little sur

of Christmas, weighed down with care

of winter sunshine, and his face
showed a dull red-the hue which
creeps over mans face when insult
or humiliation has come to him.
For twenty years of service TO old
Clarkson, twenty years wherein he
had given the best that was in him
to man who was reputed to be the
most ill-tempered man in all Wash
burn-he had just been told that from
now on his services would be dis
pensed with, and all because of a
small mistake that had been made,
which Clarkson in the blind rage
which had taken hold of him, had
laid on the shoulders of Manners.
1t was hard, he told himself as he
walked along, that man who had
given the best of his life in service
could be cast away like an old glove.
1t must be that he was not as COM
petent as other men, he told him
self. For the hurt of dismissal had
sunk it's iron deeper into Walter Man

he had been possessed of the feeling
that he was not quite as capable as
other men. Something within him al
ways tried to belittle him to himself,
and although he had often fought
with this feeling and had tried to
assure himself that he did as good or
even better work than some, in spite
of himself it came every now and
then to torture him. Now, in the face
of his recent dismissal, 1t came with
added force, and he told himself over
and over again that he was a failure
or else old ClarkSon would not have
let him out. He never stopped to
think that perhaps it was the long
association with a man of Clarkson's
type that had made him so diffident
about his own worth.
He dreaded the thought of going
home and telling his family the bad
news. He reproached himself that he
had not broken away from old Clark
son ten years before when he had an
offer from young Peters, who had Just
then come to Washburn, and who had
since made such a success. But then.
as always, the fear of himself kept
him from accepting and he had stayed
on and borne the ill-temper Of old
man Clarkson since. His forty-fve
years hung heavily upon him as he

wrong upon them were he to go to
them now with the story of his failure
and to spoil their Christmas. What
of his own feelings-surely he could
be man enough to hide them for a few
days for the sake of those he loved!
After Christmas there would be time
enough to tell them the dread news
to let them know what a miserable
failure he was.
He decided then that he would not
go home until his usual homecoming
hour, lest it might create suspicion, so
to kill time he wandered aimlessly
around town. He stopped to gaze in
Peters window as he passed. He
admitted to himself that there was
vast difference between the appear
ance of this store and Clarkson's.
Here everything was up-to-date and
attractive; the window arrangement
such as might make anyone pause to
look. Once he had preached this

subject to old Clarkson, but had been
met by such an outburst of wrath that
he had never dared to open the sub
ject again.
SO engrossad was he with his
thoughts that he never noticed that
Clyde Peters was standing inside the
window and gazing straight at him.
He flushed dull red again as the
thought came to him that surely
Peters would suspect something to see
him wandering aimlessly around at
what was usually the busiest time of
the day at Clarkson's. But he nodded
as pleasantly as he could to Refers
and walked on.
Somehow he got through the eve
ming without his family Suspecting that
there was anything amiss. He Joined
In the general gayety and helped with
the decorations and various other
little jobs, but all the while the heart
within him was sick with misery. But
he knew that the burden was his to
bear. alone, and the thought that he
was saving his family from the truth
for few days gave him a little feel
ing of comfort.
AT ten o'clock, after the smallest of
the children had been put to bed and
the Christmas tree had received all
its trimmings, the door bell rang with
a loud peal. Walter Manners opened

talked very hard for about an hour, a
small, slender shaft of light twinkled
into their midst.
"Who are your" came a chorus of
shining voices.

The answer.
The other stars had never heard of

grown man. Other
years he had been near enough to 60
back home for Christmas, but now his
work had sent him across the CONT
nent and he couldn't possibly manage
the trip.
He had some excellent new friends
and he was going to have Christmas
dinner with them. And the family
from home had sent a beautiful Christ
mas box-every member Of the family
had sent a present.
1t had been tied with holly and red
ribbon and he had opened it Christmas
Eve.
But now it was Christmas morning
and he was just little bit homesick.
Yes, just little bit-perhaps it was
more than a little bit!
And then came the postman's ring.
He had received all his presents,
cards, too, from his friends at home
who would not send presents, but who
had remembered him.
Yes, he had been very fortunate.
The inconsistencies he felt was only
natural. And then he opened the small
package which the postman's ring had
brought to him.
1t was photograph of his mother,
and it arrived on Christmas day.
And under it was little note, Just
a few words of love and devotion and
a Christmas greeting.
He felt better already For, even
though there must at times be separa-
tons, he had so wonderful home and
mother that even though they were
apart actually their thoughts and
spirits were as close together as
though they were not separated.
It was an excellent photograph of
his mother, too. What perfect

as she sat down at the pretty tea

We'll, the victim was not a dumb

from the hair-dressing establishment
where ! have my locks shampooed
every three weeks or so; and in the
compartment next to mine was poor
head of hair undergoing unnecessary
fortunes. 1t was nice hair, too-thlck
and alive and healthy. but alas'-it
had a few threads of white in it and
it's owner was taking her first dose OF
dye.
IF she only knew it, her hair is
doomed. She can never stop using
the dye and it will never be success
full, because as the hair grows out
il will be white at tine roots ana
more dye must be applied. and the
more it is put on the more it deadens
and dulls and uglifies. Ten years
from now, when the white hair would
make her aging face look softer ana
younger. she will have hard, arti-
fetal, dead-loolSing halo that Will
make her look a hundred. And the
shining, overlooking quality of her
hair will be gone forever.
she was torturing her hair in
other ways. too. 1t had been par
manently waved, and treated to ton
les and ointments and brilliantine.
and hena-and dear knows what not.

And the weil-groomed woman's

rolled the eggs around the skillet.
The poor Snoopwiggy didn't know

eggs before, or made biscuits, but ne
knew he had to get dinner some way

looked very hungry.

himself. Maybe l had better fry

Finally one of the eggs grew hot

Then another and another did the
same thing until every egg WAS
broken.

He hesltated. and she finished the
sentence for him.

do for me to go to public places just
yet. But, you see, that kind of con-
vention makes it bit hard on as
