AIgernon Noseupthe
Bundle That Cured Him

TT WASN'T his real name, but peo-
4 pie thought he deserved 1t. Like a
top, he carried swelled head upon a
small foundation. His nose was SO
much In the air that 1t distributed
snubs plentifully. His idea of getting
up was that Of putting others down.
AIgefnon despised Christmas. He
even felt ready to snub Santa Claus.
This snob had a special snub for any
body who believed in Christmas cheer
and generous happiness. He was an
ardent member of the Society for the
Prevention of Useless Giving. Indeed,
he was the chairman of the branch Of
1t that infested his town without bear
ing Il gift. There may have been
streak of fat in his character, but
there surely was streak of mean.
It was a bundle that cured him. AS
he stalked to his door with his eyes
on the church steeple he fell over II,
and as he opened it that Christmas
Day and found that q number of his
neighbors had conspired to warm his
heart with tokens of kind considera-
ton. he felt SO strangely humbled and
ashamed Of himself that he was never
afterwards able to look down upon
anybody. Christopher g. Hazard.

Every Christmas Fair
and Happy for Swinton

TT WAS an unusual Christmas; Ma
1 ture had made it So The rosebuds
were still bursting into bloom; the
sunshine was broadcasting far and
near; a warmth that doesn't usually
continue was over the land but one
FIRE was needed and that the Christmas
blaze, to kindle in the hearts Of the
cold and selfish the warmth and sun
shine which God had settled over the
land and intended for every heart.
Abe Swinton came from his shanty,
yawned and looked around Old
Scrooge himself couldn't hold candle
to Abe, who was selfish and stingy to
the bone. The chimes of the First
church were pealing forth merry
Christmas, Merry ChristmasI Merry
Christmas to ALL" The boys and girls
were playing in the street and shouted
to Abe: "a Christmas Of sunshine
and flowers. we bring you today We
hope you'll enjoy them and your
crouch will pass away"
Abe went into his hut and muttered
to himself; he felt chilly but couldn't
venture out again. He took from hid
ing bag of shining gold-he felt of
it, started to put it back, but instead
took it to the Provident association.
use this he said, for the poor. This
is the best Christmas ever had and
l feel happy. It's because the sun
shines so warm, I suppose; never an
other like 1t, to me at least"
The sunshine continued and every
Christmas was fair and happy and
joyous. Emily Burks Adams.

Relay Christmas Plan
Affords Entertainment

"A SUCCESSFUL pre-Christmas plan
"A for old and young in clubs. school
groups, ETC, which lessons responsi-
bility and labor, is q Relay Christmas,
when, a week or more before Christ
mas, a series Of socials are INDUCED
in. One or more of the group is a
hostess, assisted by others who dec
crate, plan the stunts and games, ar
range the menu provided by the hostess
and which consists of things usually
served as the first course Of a dinner
The second social will be held at an
other home with fitting food for the
second course in a dinner.
If the hostess desires to present
gift favors she plans a novel way of
distributing them. On packages on a
line across a room, blindfolded guests
may tie Christmas tags on parcel
which becomes his gift. Magic tricks
are performed and prize gifts are
awarded those who guess the tricks.
Winning in various stunts is an ex-
cuse for a gift to be presented, the
object being that each guest shall re-
ceive a package Of equal value. A
post Office with postmistress may hold
a coveted gift which may be procured
only by performing some task or stunt
peculiar to the individual.
The last early social may be served
with popcorn, candy, nuts In holiday
baskets distributed from tree or
cleverly hidden in the fireplace which
may later have fire around which re-
freshments are eaten.
This relay idea may be carried out
during holiday week, called New Leaf

SYMPHONY LEADER

Van HoOgStraten'S MaSterfuI
Work ImpreSseS Large
Capital Audience.

East year Washington music lovers
were enthusiastic over the work OF
WIDEN Mengelberg. with the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra. Yes
terday afternoon they were given a
greater thrill by the marvellous CON
ducting of his compatriot Willem
Van Hoogstraten, who directed the
Philadelphia symphony Orchestra in
an inspiring program at the National
Theater. The Netherlands seems TO
have a genius for producing orches-
ira conductors. Even the most ardent
Of Stokowski cans in house that

TO the evident sincerity and remark
able musicianship of Mr.. Van Hoog-
Atraten, who probably won his great
est fame to date when conducting the
big stadium concerts i'm New York
last Summer
The members Of the Philadelphia
symphony Orchestra are all fine So
ioists. and the flute, clarinet and vio-
lin SOLO work, especially in the sym
phony, was eNcelltntly done. The
orchestra deserved the recognition
given it as well as the conductor
notably at the end of the Tschai-
kowsky number
The opening selection, the overture
to Won Weber's "Oberon." was played
with delicate emphasis on the elfin
moods of the score and led in fasci-
mating manner to the equally fan
tastic moods of Debussys exquisite
"L'Apres- midi dun Faune." which
has never been played here with
more artistry. TschakOwsky' Fran
cesca da Rimini," filled with the
pulsing of human emotions, was a
brilliant finale.
Brahms Fourth symphony, one of
the few symphonic works written in
the key of + minor formed the sec
ond half Of the program. The music
of this work rises from somber,
plaintive moods to swift humorous
passages with a conflict of pathos
and joy in the powerful strains of
the final movement. As Mr.. Van
Hoogstraten interpreted it yesterday,
the audience seemed almost hypno-
tized by its massive power and almost
overwhelming beauty. Rarely does
an entire Washington audience show
such visible effects as were evident
yesterday. The crowd about the doors

Hoogstraten was many times larger
than is customary.
