0JUHAT means this glory round our feet
W The Magi unused, more bright than moru!'
And voices chaned clear and sweet.
To-day the Prince Of Peace is bOml"
'What means that star, the shepherds said,
THAT brishtens through the rocky gen?'
And angels, answering overhead,
Sang, peace on earth, goodwill to menl'
IT'S eighteen hundred years and more
Since those sweet oracles were dumb;
We wait for Him, like them Of yore;
Alas, He seems so slow to eomel
But il was said, in words Of gold
No time or sorrow Ger shall dim,
That little children might be bold
In perfect trust to come to Him.
All round about our feet shall shine
A light like that the wise men saw.
II we our loving wills incline
To that sweet Life which is the law.
So shall we learn to understand
The simple faith Of shepherds then,
And, claspng kindly hand in hand.
Sing, Peace on earth, goodwill to men,
And they who do their souls no wrong.
But keep at eve the faith Of morn,
Shall daily hear the angelsong,
To-day the Prince Of Peace is bOrn!"

SANTA CLAUS SACK

THIS is a jolly game to play
i at a Christmas party. One
player starts with the letter
"a saying Santa Claus sack
has Animals in it," The next one
says, Books" Candies" says
the third, and so on until every
letter of the alphabet has been
used. If a boy or girl cannot
think of something to say be-
fore the rest of the group have
quietly counted ten, he or she
must drop out of the game; any
player speaking out of turn or
using the wrong letter must
also drop out.

and it was generally conceded that
that was fatal! Oh dear.
George got the idea that Crystal
found him intensely interesting. He
asked her to lunch with him Mon
day.
On Monday morning, when Crys-
tai entered her Office at the Lincoln
Pruitt Hardware Company she
found that Miss Morse, the dowdy,
middle-aged billing clerk, was there
ahead of her, deep in condolences
with Miss Harris, her particular
crony.
When Crystal had taken off her
hat and was raising her typewriter,
Miss Morse remarked, in a falsely
congratulatory voice:
well, Miss Hathaway, I see that
you have become famous already!
Some of us live in Stanton all our
lives without getting our names in
the society columns"
Crystal whirled to face her fell
low worker, her hazel eyes big with
amazement. Twill you let me see
the paper, please, Miss Morse? I
haven't seen it,"
"By the way. 1 saw your name
in the paper last week, in the lodge
notes. You we're hostess for your
chapter Of the Daughters of Some
thing -other, weren't your" she
could not resist adding cattishly,
for she knew that Miss Morse was
gloating 4. -.

In spite of Tonys enthusiastic re-
port on the degree of Harry BlaineS
crush" on her, Crystal spent a
rather tame Sunday after her near
drowning in the swimming pool at
the Marlboro Country Club.
The young reporter did telephone
about noon to inquire if she were
any the worse for her very thorough
wetting, and he did speak for a date
"soon," but the only caller who
came to sustain Crystals always
shaky belief her own popularity
was George Pruitt.
And who knew, Crystal asked her
self dispiritedly, but that he really
came to be near Faith?
There was a big Sunday dinner at
2 o'clock, and Crystal was uncom-
fortably aware that she had eaten
more calories than her painstaking-
ly Worked-out diet chart allowed for
She couldn't even find the society
section of the Sunday paper, to read
about the doings of the fortunate
rich of whom she would never be
one, unless she married rich man.
Marriage The word was
never long out of Crystals mind.
Suppose Harry Blaine was crazy
about her. He was just a reporter,
and she'd heard that reporters
didn't make much money! j..
But his voice had sounded awfully
cordial and concerned when he
telephoned.
Would soon" be really soon?
Why hadn't she pinned him down?
He'd probably expected her to name
a date; other girls had no COM
junction about leaping upon a man
like that. Wouldn't it be all right
for her to call him up and say
something like this:
"Oh, Harry, do be an angel and
rescue mel" Her voice could be
dramatically muted, as she added.
I'm stuck with a dreadful bore
George Pruitt's here to see me-
son of the Lincoln Fruits, you
know, but-oh, I'm being terrible,
aren't I? But 7 must talk with
someone today who really inter
ests me intellectually or-die!"
No, it wouldn't do, she decided.
Someone might hear her. Besides,
George was a dear, and she'd be
delighted if he really cared for her,
instead of for Faith.
These until death" men! Tire
some! 1t was a shame for him to
remain a bachelor with all his
money.
And then, if she said just those
things to Harry Blaine, he might
get the idea she was "highbrow"

, when Tad had expressed his horror
of divorce and its attendant
notoriety, Craig had seemed rather
to avoid the Thornes. He was de-
voting himself whole heartedly to
politics, and Sybil saw very little
Of him.
From the papers she learned that
the Young Republicans had organ
lied, and that Craig was the par
ticular protege of the Old Guard. A
district honor for a young lawyer,
and seasoned politicians were re-
dieting big things for him.
In April he took temporary resi-
dence in Washington land Sybil,
feeling altogether forsaken, put in
motion the machinery that makes
divorces. Tad disapproved, as she
knew he would.
What are you going to get out
Of it," he demanded, but a lot of
cheap talk and bunch of head
lines? And every virtuouS crow in
Boston talking dirty talk about you.
You've no idea, Sib, how the papers
would eat up thing like a Thorne
divorce"
But, Tad" she cried, at could all
be done SO quietly nobody need
even know"
"Quietly!" he scoffed. IS ay, a
nice juicy divorce has about as
much chance Of going of quietly as
a presidential election. Look at the
Stillman case"
But that was different!" she in
sisted.
How was it differently"
But the Stillmans have such
codes Of money" she protested.
We'll, we're not exactly church
mice ourselves" he reminded her.
We've been Somebodies in Boston
too long for the papers to leave US
alone. You belong to the Vincent
Club, don't you? And the Sewing
Circle?
and you're a darn good-Iooking
girl, Sib. You know how you used
to have your picture in the papers
about every other day. They've got
plenty in their reference rooms.
Just start something, and see what
they do to you. You'll be smeared
all over the front pages"
"At least" she retorted bitterly,
ut would establish my status"
"a dear establishment" he
groaned. and pretty status, if
you're asking me-"
I'm not" she told him icily. "I
think you're being dreadfully Old
fashioned, and just as hateful as
can be-"
1T was Valerie who put the divorce
4 idea in SYPHILIS head. The affair
in New Haven had made a differ
ent girl of Val.
Humility and gratitude had cured
her FESTIVE spirit. She devoted her
self intensely to the baby, and even
took him out in his little stroller.
Valerie, who had declared in TIE
depths of provincialism to Wheel a
baby!
Sybil regarded her sister-in-laW
with a sort of pitying contempt, and,
because pity is akin to affection, she
even liked her a little. After all,
Richard was an engaging devil. And
hadn't she loved him herself?
Valerie was a fool, Of course. They
we're both fools. Romance was a trap
for foolish women. Worse when one
legalized the amour. Divorce was
such q horror.
1t was Valerie who mentioned it
first.
"Sib, did you ever think what
might happen if you should die?"
oval! Don't tell Inc YOU are
philosophizing. Death and Damna
ton! Oh, Vail" Sybil laughed mock
ingly.
my dear, I didn't mean THAT.

and your husband"
What about the baby?"

leave her husband, and elope with a
man who has promised to get her in the
movies. Sybn has never cared for
Valerie, but she worships her own

to investigate Val's romance. She goes
to New Haven, where Valerie is visiting
friends. accompanied by JACK and
MABEL MOORE, newlyweds, and
SyhiPs dearest friends:
Valerie's hostess tells them they will
find her at notorious roadhouse on
the Post Road. They got there directly,
and arrive in time to interrupt an in
teresting conversation. Valerie's escort
is telling her how once beloved girl
named Sybu.
Syhil herself has been unhappiIy mar
ried. After a five-day romance she
married q fascinating adventurer named
RICHARD EUSTIS, with whom she lived
only two weeks. AS a result of the mad
marriage, child was born. Sybil has
never seen her husband since she left
him In a drunken stupor in their hotel
