This wasn't Abramowitz-it was an

his wares-well, they might have been

Abramowitz had brought. And, some

But the business that the young man

time he was simply peddler. passing
along the street with old clothes and
ties and cheap jewelry. but at Christ
mas he took on peculiar atmosphere

No. this wasn't their Christmas Jew.
Next day the young man was back
again. but still business was meager.
And he walked up and down, pushing
his cart, scowl upon his face. Why

Well, what is one to do about IL
There is still the white wrapping pa.
per, the tissue, the red ribbons. the
gold and silver cord. There are still
the presents Of all the family; each
member has gathered his into corner
for display. All this must be tidied
up; the house set to rights.
And next, well next come all the
thank-you letters, and the Christmas
spirit Is twelve months away from us ]
How many OF us sit down with q
smile, as well as will to acknowledge
our Christmas presents. With most,
I'm afraid It's only a will. Our Jaws
are set. Wen get them all done up
promptly this year or perish in the
attemptl
At least that was my way Of old.
But now I've found q new one, and IL
gives the day after Christmas almost
the glow and glamor OF Christmas. II
is very simple.
As undid the presents listed them
In little book. There's no confusion
in my mind about who gave what.
That's the first stone out Of the path.
Then as I write each letter think Of
the one to whom II is going, never OF
all the other letters waiting. i pre-
tend i have dropped In for little
visit on this friend or relative. And
write Just the first words I would say
had I Just dropped In at their doors
&c thank them for their presents Then
I end with Happy New Year." and
In at the next door i pop.
When those letters are done and
stuck up outside In a neat white pile
behind the letter-holder OF our letter
box, have more than q sense OF nc
complishment and easy conscience.
Much morei am refreshed. There's
glow at my heart-yes, glow as
warm as any that Christmas gives I
have just looked into the eyes OF many

nearly denuded cart along the road.
You come back next Christmasf"
Sure. sure! Always come back !"
whimpered Abramowitl.
They watched him over the top Of
Cherry Hill. They did not know that
he was going back to the hospital.
Nor would they know that he had died
there. until next Christmas found him
missing. But there would be no rival
next Christmas In Cherry Hill.
