Groups OF carolers stood at street
corners and sang. Hundreds Of people
strolled up and down. There was an
atmosphere OF good win that pervaded
the place as surely AZ wreaths hung
In the windows.
There was one house In particular
that giowed with a shining brilliance.
Part of this light was due to q pyra-
mid formation Of candles on the win
dow-sill, and part came from the
happy sounds which issued forth
through the open door This place was
keeping "open house" with vengs-
ance. Il looked like giorified Christ

Miss Mixter never knew exactly
how 1t happened. She was hurrying
home after hard days sewing In a
dressmakers shop. She was tired and
hungry. Christmas Eve to her merely
meant that she WAS wearier than usual.
She stopped for a moment to look In
through the door of this happy. shin
ing house. And then, almost unaware
of what she did, she walked in Yes,
she actually did And she had no
more idea of who lived there than a

Mixter. And this pleased her hostess
so much that she burst into a peal of
merriment
From that moment they seemed to
have great deal to say to each other.
Then. suddenly looking about her,
Miss Mixter saw she was the center
Of attention. Dozens of interested
people were regarding her with
amused eyes.
A quick reaction swept over her.
She felt lonely and afraid. Why was
she heref Who were these people
Why had she come into this house
She felt quiet hand on her arm.

hostess in green" I need someone to

people and tell me who Is served and
who is not. It's so difficult
Miss Mixter looked up keenly into
the smiling face. And she knew she
was genuinely wanted.
