And brother Thomas, the shoe deal
er, got a note too. eve gave the
quarter we usually spend on you, to
our postman whose wife is in the hos
pital. It will pay a carfare or so for
one Of the children to visit her."
And so on. All the relatives, over
twenty, got the same sort Of notes,
telling where the few cents that had
usually been spent on them by the
school-teaching brother at Christmas
time, had gone this year. And into
each note was tucked a hearty "MerTy
Christmas"
Johns family were puzzled at first.
But after they had shaken their heads
together over it for a bit, light sud-
denly dawned. They realized then
that the few cents John and Mary had
spent on each of them at Christmas
time had been more Of a gift, in the
real sense of a gift, than their expen-
sive, and often useless, presents in re-
turn had been. And they saw, too,
what real good that little scattered
money was doing this Christmas.
They ended by praising John and
Mary, and thinking their Christmas
notes the best thing they had got.
And indeed a jolt can be a very use
full thing, even for a Christmas pres
ent!

Fine Way to Keep a
Face Looking Happy

TS@lRS. LARKIN is a little old lady
|" who lives in a red house just
over the hill. The children
htk@l troop by her doOr-yard every
day on their way to school.
They always look up at her windows,
for Mrs. Larkin is sure to be at one
Of them, nOdding and smiling in the
pleasantest fashion.
Mrs. Larkin has cookies in jars and
Mrs. Larkin can knit red mittens
faster than anybody else in town. Both
cookies and mittens find their way to
the mouths and hands of half the
children in the village.
At Christmas time, the little old
lady is buster than ever. But the
incest thing about her is the express
sion on her face. To say it shines,
does not half describe the brightness
Of it. One day Tilly Tinker said to
her:
what makes your face like a
candle, Mrs. Larkin?"
BLESS you, Tilly! laughed the lit
tie old lady, "What do you meanY
Tilly had difficulty in explaining, but
she finally succeeded in making Mrs.
Larkin understand what she meant by
comparing her face to a candle.
"TlI tell you a secret" said the lit
tie old lady in a whisper: "At Christ
mas time 1 always pretend I'm look
ing at a Christmas tree! A tree with
thousand candles, everyone lighted
So perhaps some of them are reflected
on my face. It's a fine way to keep
a face looking happy. Just try it
yourselfw
Perhaps Mrs. Larkin found the best
recipe for happiness-she filled her
hands with good works and her mind
with the brightness of lighted candles.

Our Christmas Days
as They Used to Be

~1OMETIAIES it seems as if the
IWH "elder days" were the best.
- Think Of their Christmases !
Where is the grace and gen.
erOsity of those times? The
warm welcome, the large cOrdiality,
the mellow fun Of innocent celebra-
tiOns?
Perhaps we look back through the
sOftening glow of distance, but there
is romance, a delicate, fine flavor
of something which indeed seems lost
to us now.
How the neighbors rode through the
snow on horseback to large gather
ings! How the pretty girls were
muffled in rugs and furs, sl1imming
over the road in sleighs! How the
bells rippled and rang! And how the
wide doors flew open to greet these
guests!
Light Of candles breath of
pine wreaths sprigs of holly
and the high thrill of holiday
thoughts.
Laughing faces graceful
and the Virginia reel in the evening
It is a heartsome thing to think
about. Let us try to insert some Of
this gentle beauty and spirit into our
Christmas day. We have not the
leisure and spaciousness of those
times, but hearts can reflect Just as
truly the invisible yet invincible power
Of love and loveliness Martha B.

As If Christmas could have in 1t great
Joy for anyone who looked for the

likely to be revealed by the spirit Of
our receiving quite as well as by the

make Christmas the more joyous, but
will also be an all-year virtue, If II
is cultivated in our hearts.-F. II.

some time during the Christ
R mas season echo to the strains
of that beautiful and sOul-in-
spring hymn, 30, come all ye faithful -
It seems to be favOrite at Yuletide
in every land and in every cline,
whether it is sung as above referred
to, or in its original form as the
"Adeste Fidelis."
The hymn was first given to the
world in the Thirteenth century by a
Franciscan monk, but did not gain
worldwide popularity for a long time
after. The English translation was
made by Canon Frederick Oakley over
sixty years ago. Since that time the
hymn has been translated into the
language of every nation and the
sweet and lofty words ring out at
Christmas time In many remote places.
But while the English translation
has superseded the original Latin to
a great extent, yet the beauty of the
original composition is such that there
are many who still prefer to hear it
even though the language is not their
own.-Katherine Edelman.
