most acceptable were discussed, there
was some amusement felt over the
toilet water. But it was explained
that the soldiers did really regard it
as a luxury and were very fond of it,
and at Christmas they surely ought
to receive the things they like.
1t was further suggested that a
little note accompany each box, so
that the recipient would feel it more
of a personal present and so that if
he wished, he might write and thank
the givey. Not that the giver wants
to be thanked,-but the boys self
respect has been considered. An Incl
dent is called to mind, of the days of
the war. One Sunday afternoon,
young couple invited a stray sailor
lad from a nearby training station to
their home for the afternoon. He
seemed so appreciative of the effort
to entertain him that he could hardly
wait until he might return the ia
vor." He invited them to visit his
training station, and later when the
young folks were able to accept the
invitation, he took great pleasure in
showing them around and explaining
all he could. They, in turn were
grateful to him for a pleasant after
noon in one of those enormous and
schools the war developed.
A last little hint for Christmas fell
lowship, left over from war days,
concerns the subject of mittens. One
dear lady always carried four or five
pairs Of mittens with her when in the
city. Whenever she saw a newsboy
Tor any other child) with red, cold
little hands, she gave him a pair of
mittens. Seems rather a nice idea,
doesn't it?

A TRUE PROVERB

1t was nearly twelve o'clock on
Christmas Eve and the magic hour

genius was about to strike, but with
Mrs. Fogarty it was never too late to
mend, and a long stocking, with a
needle sticking in the last stitch of
the last hole, lay in her lap as she
slept in her chair. No sound of bells
awakened her, and when she opened
her eyes upon the gifts that had re-
placed the emptiness of the stocking
and the darning ball at its heel she
could only account for the kindness of

That Mask Which Grew
cua on Mr.. Philetus' Face

IN HILETUS SOLEMOOLLY could
not understand why the chill
dren did not like him. He gave
them good advice. He patteI
them upon their heads. He ex-
pressed the hope that they would be
successful'i In life as he had been. He
promised them rewards If they would
behave themselves as he wanted them
to. Yet they came to his school un-
willingly and went home from 1t glad
ly. They were respectful, but unsmil-
ing.
1t was with hope, but not without
difficulty, that a friend persuaded
Philetus to ofiiciate as Santa Claus at
the Christmas festival and to assume
the traditional garb of the part. Phi
letus did not see much use In such
fanciful dOings, but yielded to solicit
tatiOn and appeared upon the occasion
with as much grace as a feeling Of
foOllshness would allow. His spare
form was now rotund, his sober gar
ments had become gay, and the Jolly
mask that had been adjusted to his
long face gave him quite a new ex-
preston.
AS the joy among the children pro-
crossed and the spirit Of fun and
frOlic mounted high, Philetus began
to experience a change Of heart. To
his amazement he began having a good
time himself and to feel like a real
Saint Nicholas. For this reason, per
haps. he Overexerted himself to such
an extent that his mask fell off and
it was revealed to the surprised audi
ence that it had been contradicting
the face of Mr.. Solemcolly.
This was really the best feature Of
the evening, and 1t proved to have
permanence about it, for, from that
time, the Philetus phiz shortened, and
brOadened, and fattened, and colOred
up. until it came to look a good deal
like the face of that old fairy who
is always young and kindly.
So the mask that fell off left its
imprint and stayed on, and Philetus,
able to be merry, became the familiar
friend of the children.-Christopher G.

How Four Old Maids
Have Real Christmas

E@1lHEY were a family of old maids
-four sisters. But they were
the jOlllest, incest old maids I
S ever knew. 1 always swore 1t,
and now I know it. What do
you think they did for Christmas7
Did they have a tree for themselves
and exchange costly presents with
each other, and then eat turkey with
dressing and pies, alone in their
charming white dining room2 Not a
bit Of it. They know what Christmas
was meant for, and they acted on the
knowing. Their friends tell me they
have done 1t every year; but since I'm
only a new acquaintance, compare
lively, I couldn't know that.
They invite in a dozen children
who wouldn't ordinarily have a Christ
mas tree at all and give their presents
to them. And then those twelve, poor
little mites sit down at the table in
the old maids charming white dining
room, and the old maids themselves
serve them with turkey and all the
dxings. And they don't do it for char
fly either. They do it because they
adore children, and making them hap
by is to them a treat. You see, from
their cradles, these four old maid
sisters were blessed with the Christ
mas spirit, a spirit that lasts all the
year around when it is genuine.
But why should 1 call them "old
maids?" That term is in such disre-
pute? They are four angelsl And
knowing that, 1 am going to try my
luck, some time when 1 can get the
courage and ask one of them, the
one happen to be in love with, to
have me-" Perhaps If I make the
proposal within the Christmas season
she'll remember she's a Christmas
angel, and take me. Don't laugh at
my audacity. Anything may happen
at Christmas time! For Christmas is
a magical time. Even a child can tell
you that.-Ethel Cook Eliot.

tissue paper and tied with ribbons, in
other words, just as we would send tC
our dearest friends. Each basket has
its Christmas card with a merry
rhyme. Our grocer kindly loaned
their truck and delivered the baskets
for us, this last year.
Besides the work the club does
for the individuals, we try to help the
settlement house in which we are in
terested. For them we send out a
call to our club members for soap,
and for all sizes of stockings. These
two articles seem to be the most
needed. AS to clothing, our effort has
been to supply that, both before and
after Christmas. If we know Of some
special need, we ask our members for
the size and kind of garment, and it
is always forth coming"
Another branch of this clubs Christ
mas fellowship work is handled by a
committee to work among the ex-
soldiers in a nearby hospital. Differ
ent organizations take up the various
needs, so as to not conflict with each
other. One group gives handkerchiefs
to each one of the soldiers, another
group gives socks, and so on. This
particular club gave each boy a
Christmas box, besides decorating
trees for the different wards in the
hospitals.
In order that the boxes might be
nearly uniform, club members were
asked to buy their gifts, with the box,
to amount to a dollar. Cigarettes,
stationery, toilet soap, shaw
ing soap, tooth paste, toilet water,
decks of cards, were suggested as pos
sible gifts.
At the meeting in which the gifts
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1923-12-07

pulled up. At Christmas ones
thoughts turn toward giving and that
generously,-not only to our dear ones
but to those especially in need, those
to whom otherwise Christmas would
mean a sad time-a time when Santa
had apparently forgotten them.
Charity has such an unpleasant
sound. If it is translated into love and
good fellowship it will work out the
greatest happiness, to all. One woman
who for three years had charge of the
Christmas Baskets given by wO-
mems club said she had always re-
garded this work as very great priv
ilege.
1--WE fix up our baskets as if we
were giving them to our friends" she
said. First we find families who are
worthy and to whom baskets will be
acceptable. There are always the
proud Door who would only feel hurt
if offered gifts. Then if we know the
age of the children in the family we
supply stockings and mittens of the
right size.
"a call for donations from the club
members gives us varied supplies.
Homemade preserves or canned
goods, we always receive. Then each
basket has a chicken, there is in it
candy and dates, or some special
Christmas dainty. We try to see that
each child receives a little gift.
"As to packing the baskets" she
continued, 1--WE make a special effort
to make them look attractive. The
baskets are decorated with colored
paper, the gifts are all wrapped with

HER CHRISTMAS TRIP

The family were going away for
Christmas to their old home in the
beautiful country which they loved so
much. They hadn't gone back at
Christmas time for ever and ever so
long.
They said at first, they would give
their faithful, wonderful cook a check
and holiday, and then they asked
her if she would like the Christmas
trip as her Christmas present.
Would she indeed? Just because
she was no longer a child it didn't
mean that she couldn't enjoy as a
child!
She went and she loved it all-even
the Over-crOwded trains, the hurrying
masses of people in the jammed sta
tiOns-for wasn't it her Christmas
trip?
She, too, was a part of the great
holiday travel IN. G. Bonner.
