MAKING CHRISTMAS
REAL CELEBRATION

NOR. AND MRS. BROWN agreed
NH not to have any Christmas eel
ebratiOn. They would just be
sensible. and have a restful holiday
without any of the worry of trying
to OutdO each other and their friends
In the exchange Of gifts.
Their friends had consented not to
give them any presents, and as they
had no children, it would be easy to
carry out their intention Of having
just an ordinary holiday.
Christmas morning arrived and Mr..
Brown looked at Mrs. Brown through
blinking eyes
merry Christmas" he said; merry
Christmas" echoed his wife.
They were both startled. That was
not the way to begin an ordinary hOlI-
day. They had begun 1t just as they
had begun every other Christmas.
But then" Mrs. Brown explained,
"it wouldn't be right not to say 1t,
would it, dear2"
Mr.. Brown quite agreed with her,
and they went down to breakfast.
At Mr.. Browns place were some
packages.
"What are these?" he asked, with
pretended harshness.
"Oh, dearie," said his wife, ''yOu
won't be angry, will you? l Just
couldn't help giving you something. It
wouldn't be Christmas without some
surprises. And as we weren't giving
any presents, thought it was a good
opportunity to get you some things
you have needed a long time
Mr.. Brown tore open the packages,
which to his great delight contained
a velvet lOunging robe, some Russian
leather slippers and a box of his
favOrite cigars.
'YOu dearp he cried, and kissed
his wife ardently.
Then he drew from his pocket q
small box which he handed her. Her
eyes sparkled.
"FOr me?" she exclaimed.
For yOu," he said, and added, as
she lifted from the box a beautiful
necklace of pearls, 81 thought since
we weren't giving any presents this
yeas it was a good opportunity to buy
you these pearls you have wanted so
long"
"YOu DEAR" said his wife, and
kissed him joyously.
Just then the dOOrbell rang. A mes
senger with flowers and candy was at
the door. II thought it wouldn't be
Christmas without these" said Mr..
Brown.
"And you were right" agreed his
wife. 'YOu can't have Christmas
without candy and flowers, and pres
ents and surprises, which show how
people really love you'll. Lucius
