Each had received on Christmas
morning, as children generally do re-

materials. Boxes of paints, tubes of
pencils, and in some collections a
supply of variously coiored papers on
which to make the drawings, were all
gotten together on a morning dur
ing Christmas week when the stormy
weather forbade staying out long,
and the novelty of toys and gifts had
begun to wane.
The children were assembled in
the sunny nursery window. and set to
work. Small tongues curled around
the corners of childish mouths as the
trio embellished squares of paper or
correspondence cards with their pet

pose to which these possessions might
be put.
When the thank yous were finished
each was inclosed in an envelope adj

present. The children themselves
printed the addresses and licked the
envelopes with the proud gratifica-

instead of having performed a hated
duty. Needless to say. the cards

Boys and Books.

Recently, before leaving New York

Douglas Fairbanks. jr He looks even
younger than / had thought he would
look, and that was very young, in
deed. Also, he has still nice, boy

Shy and dIffident, and yet withal a
nice dignity and a small~ but growing
self-assurance.
He told me that it has been a part
of his picture education to- read as
many boys books as possible in order
to fit him for his career as a Para :
mount star. 1t is one way of finding
out the kind of stories he likes best
and perhaps aIighting upon one that
may seem to him above all others the
story he should do.

Every boy likes to have adventures,
but that's not always practical; and,
anyway, you can't find adventures
really every day. So the next best

A SERMONETTE.
ATTENTION TO DETAILS.
BY wINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist

Have you not. at one time or an
other come to the table only to push
aside the wholesome food. simply be-
cause you were too tired to eat?
OF course, you have.
And what is the answer?
Rest, certainly. but before the
happy period of complete rest has ar
rived there are meals to be eaten and
digested. How about those?
If you are the housewife you have
matters largely in your own hands,
and if you are one of the other mem
bers of the family you can easily get
into conference with the mistress of
the house, so this sermonette is for
you. in any case.
When one can spend but a limited
amount of money it, may not seem
touches that add so much to the
pleasure and actual digestibility Of
the meal. but it is just such circum-
stances that make the graceful
touches supremely important.
So trif1ing a matter as sloppy
soup plate may send a delicate appe-
tite to the right about. The waitress
who brings the soup to the table in a
cup. pouring the individual portion
after. she has set down the plate, is a
real force for good digestion, and
this applies equally well to the child
or other member of the family who
acts as waitress in a simple home.
With scrupulous cleanliness as a
foundation then, the next step Is to
provide charm.
Dash aRpoonful Of minced parsley
on top of the plain cream SOUP: dress
the cheap shoulder chops SO daintily
that they will meet with as enthusi-
astic welcome as the most expensive

The Little Present.

SilueT and gold have none; but aUhat
I haze, that gire thee.-Acts 8 IS.
The little present. or the rare and
long wished-for gift (it matters not
whether the vessel be of gold, or
silver, or iron, or wood, or clay, or
just small bit of birch bark folded
into a cup), may carry a message
something like this:
IT am thinking Of you today, be-
cause it is Christmas, and wish you
happiness.
"And tomorrow, because it will be
the day after Christmas. 1 shall still
wish you happiness; and so on, clear
through the year.
II may not be able to tell you about
1t every day, because / may be far
away; or because both of us may be
very busy; or perhaps because / can
not even afford to pay the postage
on so many letters, or find the time
to write them.
"But that makes no difference.
"The thought and the wish will be
here just the same.
"In my work and In the business
of life, I mean to try not to be unfair
to you or injure you in any way.
In my pleasure, If we can be to-
gether. Would like to share the
fun with you.
"Whatever joy or success comes to
YOU will make me glad.

words, good will to you is what ]
mean, in the spirit of Christmas.

In the northeast corner of Garfield
Park there is q row of three small
trees that will be of special interest
during Christmas week, for two of
them are hollies and the third so
closely resembles the American and
English hollies as to be confused
with them and is in fact. sometimes
sold by nurserymen as a variety of
the English holly, This is the
osmanthus (osmanthus aquifolium)
and, is the first one at the north end
of the row. From there down the
row the others are the English holly
and the Japanese holly.
The leaf of the osmanthus is not
only almost an exact replica of the
typical holly leaf, but it's general
habit is also quite similar. a shrub
or small tree to twenty feet. The
best point for distinguishing them is
in the fact that the leaves of osman-
thus are placed opposite along the
branches while those of the holly are

A brisk-looking young business man
came into the office and said, Good
morning. Remember me?'
I looked at him, trying to tie the
right name to the dark blue eyes and
roguish smile that stirred vague
memories of difficult days. I shook

Once when was young at teaching

came in any time at all or no time at

He should have been at long divi-

There was no snake out there in
the water, but there was a bird-a
big black bird with silvery spots on
snake-like head, with a long, slim,
very sharp bill. Even while Danny
was looking thisr curious stranger
sank until his body was below the
water, leaving only his head and
neck above. Danny knew then that
this was the same fellow who had
been up in the tree, and whom he
had mistaken for a snake with a
bill, because all he had been able to
see had been that long, slim neck
and head.
