This year Holcomb was very busy
and his Christmas gifts general gifts
you know-hadnt even occurred to
him until two days before the day.
He was passing through a new
street between a restaurant and his
office, when he saw small shop with
windows crammed with toys--nOthing
but toys. AT this season, nearly the
middle of the afternoon, a toy shop
ought to be crowded with customers.
This shop was closed. On the steps
stood small, anxious looking man,
and big one dangling a large key. 1t
looked like store key.
Seemed peculiar. So Holcomb went
to the steps.
Like to look at the toys" he began.
Cant now" doomed the big man.
e"This chap can't pay bill, so I've
taken it. Auction day after tomorrow.

the bill is paid, the store belongs to

"What did you ray or agree to pay?'
$500"
"What will you sell for?'
Cant sell until" nodding toward
the sheriff.
Holcomb counted out 5000, and
passed it to the sheriff.
"Good-by," he said. Nov what do
you ask?" to the small man.
I'D rather like $500, but will be
glad to accept half that"
Holcomb counted out the $500.
"Give me the key" to the sheriff.
'Thank you. Now where can ! find
two men to move the toys?"
"I'll be one" beamed the man out
of business. ~ know about toys. And
I can get another man from the next
building"
''Do so, and I'll bring round my car
from the next corner"
Inside of an hour the shop was
emptied and the limousine filed. Then
Holcomb took the most country Of all
the country roads, stopping at every
house that showed signs OF children.
"Hello-o,' he would call to any small
boy or girl he happened to see: "got
some stuff for your house. Please take
1t in for me. I'm in hurry. Give you
quarter"
He had provided pocket heavy
with loose quarters.
There were about three hours CT
daylight. When the daylight was gone
the car was empty. He was glad of
the darkness, for he had to go back

CHRISTMAS GIFTS
THAT ARE WELCOME

= THE holidays are time when
n most of us would like to make
one dollar do the work of five,
any suggestion should be welcome
which shows how thoughtfulness can
make cheap gilt acceptable There
fore give few such instances from
my own experience:
| know a housewife WHO is famous
for her lemon jumbles, and another
whose mince pies are toothsOm0nde-
light These two women remember
their friends each Christmas, with
their specialties, and, assure you, no
present is received more gratefully
than is theirs. Still another, who
makes orange marmalade by a won
derful secret recipe, gives a glass or
this CONNECTION to her favored circle.
But--a word of warning: Be abso-
iutely sure that such an offering is
really and truly desired. For example,
| remember one woman, on a strict
diet, to whom all sweets are forbidden,
whose careless acquaintance are con-
stantly sending boxes of candy, and
one whom strawberries sicken and
who, last year, received glass of
wild strawberry jam, delicious to all
those who could eat it, but, it hap
pened, she could not. However, such
mistakes are the result of careless
ness, and need not occur.
A shut-in once expatiated to me
upon the solid help afforded her by
Christmas present of a utility bas-
ket." 1t held all the odds and ends
she was forever wanting, and could
not readily procure for herself-pins,
needles, tape, balls and sockets.
threads and silks and cottons. Every
time / peep into it." she cried, as
happy as a child, II find something
new that | need" 1t was not an ex-
pensive offering, and yet it was one
of the most acceptable ever heard of.
Akin to it was little silk sewing-bag,
also rapturOusly received because the
maker had informed herself of what
the recipients wardrobe would be that
winter, and placed inside, with thimble
and needle-case, spOOiS Of cOlOred silks
matching each garment to be worn
that winter. Here again the thought
fulness- mot the gift itself-is what
counts.
A case OF threaded needles is most
acceptable to all women beyond
middle age whose eyes are beginning
to fail, and invaluable to traveller.
Other discriminating presents are
packets of choice seeds, saved during
the summer, and sent to an amateur
gardener 1T Christmas time. "A manu-
script book typewriter, if possible)
of tested recipes, compiled by the
sender. is another always welcome
offering.
And what pleasure, sentimental, ret
respective and anticipatory, was
theirs, sojourners in far western
home, who, just before the holidays,
opened q box from mother and sisters
shack home in the East, containing
plum pudding and fruit cake, made
by the well-remembered recipe and,
on Christmas day, to be enjoyed with
most affectionate thoughts of those
who, thousands of miles away, had
helped to cook the gala-time dinner

character, but the season was full of
possibilities and surprises. The din
ner lacked the conventional roast tur-
key. Instead there was roast goose
or a huge joint of roast beef following
the English custom with which my
mother was familiar) with suet dump
lings and gravy. There was always,
too, a loaf of spiced bread and plum
pudding with a delightful sauce of
drawn butter, and there was mince
pie followed with nuts and raisins and
other goodies.
Just as "home' always suggests to
me sugar cookies, hot from the oven,
with mother warning me not to eat so
many as to make myself sick, so Christ
mas invariably brings to my mind the
thought of raisins. They were in the
spiced bread which mother made, the
plum pudding was congested with
them, / found them always on Christ
mas morning in my stocking with other
good things to eat, and there was reg
ularly on Christmas day a dish of them
on the table to be eaten after dinner.
It was not altogether what we had to
eat that gave Christmas such high
place in my regard, though that helped
materially, no doubt 1t was the mys-
terry, the anticipation. the preparation
and the surprise Of it ali; the gather
irg together of al the family, the
games, the roaring fire in the fireplace
and the general hiiarity and good will
prevailing that made Christmas for me
the best loved of all the holidays Of
the entire year.

Brief Nature Studies

Clarence D. Hanford of Hastings-on- -Hud- son calls, attention to the fact that the scar. let tanager is unusually numerous in the Hudson Valley this year. A couple are nest ing in a pine tree in his garden, the loosely built nest of root flores and twigs far out on the lower limb. Another family is rearing it's young in tree back of the house of Clement Wood, the poet, and other houses in Riyerview Manor have one or more couples of the beautiful bird as summer garden guests :
 In the pre-sunrise chorus, with it's back. ground of clear-cut robin songs, sprightly music of indigo birds. song sparrows, chipping sparrows wrens and warblers, there is the hoarse, insistent, robin-like but harsher and higher-pitched song of the scarlet and black bird.
