Saved to Buy Christmas
Present for Her Daddy

pT<HE eldest of the four children was
A now ten; their mother had been
dead three years. How the father had
kept such young family together was
q miracle even to him, but with the
help Of the day nursery, he had man
aged very well.
For the third Christmas now the
widower tucked the children sAugly In
bed with a promise to call them at
daybreak. Then he tipkoed to his own
room.
Half an hour later when the house
was quiet, Santa Claus entered the
tiny kitchen and proceeded to all the
four little stockings hanging In row
behind the stove. Then suddenly he
remembered that he had forgotten to
bring q present for the father Of the
house. How disappointed the little
ones would be to have their father
overlooked like this Why, they would
think he's not been good But 1t was
too late. now, to get him anything.
Nothing could be done.
Shortly after the house was quiet
once again, the little girl stole into
the kitchen and hung a stocking with
package in it near the others. For
months she had saved her pennies SO
that when Christmas came again she
would be able to play Santa Claus to
daddy. SLOW surprised n happy he
will be-" she thought, as she crept
back to her room. H. Lucius Cook

Christmas Card That
Ended His Loneliness

EOR several years circumstances had
made James Wingall move from
town to town so that he seemed to lose
almost the entire connection with his
past. He was so occupied with trade
he did not note the passing years. nor
realize that almost all his schoolmates
now were married and he bachelor
Of thirty-five.
One Christmas Eve, however, when
he returned to an empty hotel room,
1t was with feelings that In spite OF his
business success, something vital was
lacking In his life. Perhaps that was
why he disliked Christmas so. When
business ceased, nothing else remained.
In the solitude Of his room, he
opened the few Christmas cards which
still sought him out. Every one he
scanned he tossed aside, except one
from the first girl he had ever
kissed. He held 1t tenderly and read
1t many times. you faithful dear"
he murmured, and going to the tele-
phone, inquired when he could catch
a train. He had decided to go home
and see his friends again, and find a
partner, If he could, to make life
really success.-H. Lucius Cook.

To Get and Give Most
Pleasure at Christmas

T%HERE is Christmas generosity and
4 Christmas charity.
But there should always be Christ
mas tact
When yOu are giving to those who
have not as much as you have do not
give your presents with condescending
manner or with patronizing air.
Do not act as though you were
superior because you could give. Do
not attach cold, naughty speech to
your gift.
Sometimes people can give so that
all the glow that comes from the gift
Is the one they themselves receive be-
cause of their own feeling Of having
been charitable Sometimes such a
speech can extract all the real pleasure
out of the gift to the one receiving 1t.
Christmas is the time for true char
ity, for that charity which comes from
the heart, which loves ones fellow men
and wants to do all that is possible
to bring joy wherever possible.
Give as though 1t were a pleasure
to give-not as though you were being
noble.
Do not give as though you thought
by giving you had the right to assume
a certain attitude Of disdain toward
those who were somewhat beholden
to you.
II you are more fortunate in worldly
goods 1t is your opportunity to have
the great pleasure that Is derived by
giving There are few greater pleas
ures when you give with the real
Christmas spirit.
There is Christmas generosity and
Christmas charity.
But there should always be Christ
mas tact.-Mary Graham Bonner.

Expensive Presents Do
Not Give Most Pleasure

Mr.. AND MRS. GORSE were in
1VA vlted to spend Christmas with
Mr.. Gorse's wealthy sister on her farm
"But we can't; we can't" insisted Mrs
Gorse. "Our rent has been raised this
year. and living is so dear In town we
cannot afford presents that even her
children will enjoy"
SITS us they want, and not our
gifts" rejoined Mr.. Gorse. "You leave
the presents to me-"
On Christmas Day the Gorses drove
up to the big white country house in
their tliyver, Such a welcome as they
received. Not an idle nor an embarrass-
Ing moment--even for Mrs. Gorse who
discarded so reluctantly the weight of
city poverty Laughter, music, fun
prevailed. And after dinner when the
grown-ups peeked into the nursery to
see what the children were doing, Mr..
Gorse had his triumph. The children
had discarded their expensive toys,
and sat in a circle on the floor playing
industriously with some ten-cent mag
nets he had brought.
''You know our children's likes bet
ter than we do" said the charming
hostess, as she lead the Gorses back to
the living room. "And nothing I re-
ceived pleases me so much as the
books you brought me, unless 1t is to
have you here on Christmas day."
Even Mrs Gorse knew that her
words rang true.-H. Lucius Cook.

The Christmas Spirit;
1t Can Never Be Cheap

HE worked In what was considered
a second-rate store in a big city.
To her, though, the store was a beauti-
full one And when it was decorated
at Christmas time with It's tinsel and
gay Christmas touches, she thought it
the most beautiful place on earth.
She loved the jewelry that was sold
there. Sometimes she would hold a
bit of cardboard from which hung a
cheap earring to her ear and would
think that when she got her pay the
following week she might buy pair
They were certainly becoming and
would be more so when off the card
board.
How crowded the store became
around Christmas time. The people
would look and admire and buy. She
would be so busy. 1t was splendid to
be busy, and even to be tired with the
Christmas rush. There was something
so stimulating about the Christmas
rush.
There were several floor walkers in
the store-an extra one was added for
the Christmas season. True, their
presence was not so magnificent as
the floor walkers in the great, expen-
sive stores, but they were grand to
her. And she loved to say, with a
beautiful manner:
"Just a moment, madame; 1 will call
the floor walker"
And then, this Christmas, greater
happiness than ever came to her. A
most wonderful floor walker came as
an extra" but they said he would be
taken on for good-he was such a
capable man.
And she took him on for good. For
hadn't they fallen in love with each
other at once?
Oh, to some the store might seem
cheap, the people in it might seem
funny limitations of the people who
belonged to the very expensive stores.
But there was glorious Christmas hap
piness in that store. For it radiated
the Christmas spirit And the Christ
mas spirit can never be cheap MARY
