Twen5y years Of conservatism and impeccable ethics in his deal- iags with men had finally suc- ce-ded in grinding into Thomas Mares consciousness one bitter, outstanding conclusion.
 The alleged Jaw of compensa- ton was no law at all.
 As he grew elder and more bit tae and more resigned to the dis illusionment of the twenty years since he had been on his own ia. the struggle for existence, Thomas found himself more and nole frequently airing some of nis bitterness in the presence Of Alfalfa his wife, who was part of the reason for the sullen resent

with due respect for others, with fidelity toward her husband, and adoration toward her children, that woman was Adalia.
 And yet here was the fifteenth Christmas since Thomas had mar ried her, and only the annual heartbreak of inadequate holiday spirit inadequate funds, and fear of facing her children on Christ mas morning, to confront her in : the way of holiday anticipation. The slow anger that had been
 lying in embers in the heart cf Thomas throughout the years of their marriage seemed to catch fire this time. What had Adalis done except be sweet, sacrificing tolerant and godly, to deserve tht insistently drab fate that had tugget at her footsteps since her mar riage to Thomas?
 = What had Thomas himself dont except try, as conscientiously 8: Q man knows how, to fulfill his obligations to employer, family children, and his God; and why was he at forty-five, unable to get footing on the ladder of the ladder of success beyond his success beyond his wretched role of assistant gardener.
 Deep within the rebelling heart Of Thomas Mare, rancor against his employer. against the little girl-daughter of his employer, and against the whole scheme of so- cs5ty that made his state Of op- rression possible, began to burn and rage and finally sweep clear through his being.
 Another Christmas at hand. an- other period of beholding Adalia scraping and pinching to afford her children the minimum joy of this season; another Christmas day, dreaded because it would ex- pose the disappointment and yearn-

him, to his degradation, to his humiliation. to his self-loathing, Thomas Mare could not lift out that bundle of bank notes. Not for the life of him, not for the soul of him. And so, impotently blinded with rage, stifling with humilia- ton, the figure of Thomas Mare, leaving the bank roll, turned and tiptoed from the chamber of Theo- dore Longman. aasf fsN
 It was long about breakfast time on Christmas Day just when Thomas Mare, sunk in the ab- jectness and shame of he knew not what, was beginning to dread the little breakfast table circle Of the frustrated faces of his wife and children, that the summons came.
 Theodore Longman, waiting in the panelled study of the Geor- gian home on the hill, informed him that, at triple his salary, Mare was to become general superin- tcndent over the premises.
 What Longman did not add was that, at one o'clock that morn ing, he had watched a man with a cap pulled down over his face and a flashlight in his hand, stand beside an open drawer containing six thousand, three hundred and fifty dollars and shuddering, turn away, leaving it untouched.

 The plan to improve upon the
 scheme of his universe and some how obtain for his brood some of the compensations which had all
 of their lifetime been denied them,
 began to grow in the heart of 1 Thomas Mare.
 Fo- q man to reconcile himself
 to society that was built on foul
 undergrowth was folly. Months of
 that secret mental fodder. succeed ed in rousing within Thomas Mare the impulse and the courage to carry out an act that two or three years before would have seemed to him to be the act of a mad man. e9
 Thomas Mare had reason to know that in a drawer of a desk in the room in which Theodore Longman slept, there usually re- posed roll of bank notes sui ficient to keep Mares family in Luxury And curiously, stubborn ly almost insanely in the mind of Thomas Mare was the determina- ton that this year there would be no little frustrated faces around the Christmas table.
 The Mares were going to have their first real Christmas; and in his desperation Thomas even said | to himself the Mares were going to have their first real Christmas, i even if a fly-by-night promoter named Theodore Longman was go- ing to be found dead in his bed 1 on Christmas Day.

 The family of Mare was about 70 be emancipated.
 Papa, am I going to get sled ,or Christmas?"
 Here it came again, the innocent and authentic desires of his inno- 'ent children, that frightened look n the face of Adalia; that heart ache look.
 The plans of Thomas Mare took i shape, and there was within him neither fear nor indecision.
 Christmas eve came and with it the rounding up of plans he had been carefully making over a per- lod of nine weeks. Nothing fail ing him, at thirty o'clock in the evening, Thomas Mare had reason to know that reposing in the upper right-hand bureau draw CT in the bedroom of Theodore Longman would be a bundle of bank notes amounting to six thou sand three hundred and fifty dol lars.
 At eleven o'clock, according to custom, Theodore Longman would retire to his bedroom, turn on his reading lamp for an hour or two before he fell asleep. At one o'clock the watchman of the

~ IBBON embroidery Is again COM
ing into evidence. 1t has been
N many long years since 1t was
i in vogue. AS it is effective and
quickly done. it fits into mod
ern requirements admirably. 1t Is OF
two kinds, wide and narrow. In the
former, ribbon is used for appliquelng,
not nat patchwork, but sort OF re,
pousse work, whereby twisted ana
buried pieces of ribbon are sewed to a
Foundation of satin or silk. and some
times to other textiles. These bits OF
ribbon form realistic flowers, buds and
foliage. and occasionally other motifs.
When colors are true and patches are
sewed down correctly, the work Is dainty
and decorative.
The second type is that in which
narrow ribbon or ribbon tape is used
as working strands in the same way
that yarn Is employed as an embroidery
medium. The ribbon is threaded into
q sharp or blunt crewel needle and the
design is outlined or filled in with
stitches best suited to the foundatlon.
II the foundation is lace or any tex
tile with mesh, the ribbon threaded
needle is run up and down through
the interstices. II the foundation is
without meshes, 1t should be loosely
woven so that the heavy working
medium can pass readily through It.
while this latter foundation may call
for a sharp needle, it is wise to use a
blunt one whenever possible.
Darning stitch is not generally used
In ribbon embroidery. although it may
be. The quicker method. Of long
stitches taken over many threads, can
be used successfully. The ribbon should
be kept as fat as possible on the right
side. as this gives q more pleasing and
smooth appearance than when strands
are twisted.
A smart design to carry out IN mar

LITTLE BENNY
BIZ LEE PAPE.

Sattiday mornin' went to the bar
bers to have my hair cut on account
Of pop having reminded me so often.
and both the BARRIERS was sitting In
their barber chairs reeding newspa-
pers, and one started to cut my hair
and the other kept on reeding his
paper, saying, I haven't noticed moth
ing about China and Japan lately,
Fred, do you guees they've berried the
hatchet?
Sertch me, but them Chinks has all
my sympathy, my barber said. The
ideer of them Japs going into China
and trying to dictate this that and the
other, 1t makes me sore. he said.
And he proved it by giving my hair
little pull while he was cutting 1t,
and the other barber said, o I don't
know, I don't know. thing you're on
your trolley about the argewment, the
they're up and coming and on the 60
every mint, but how about the
Chinks, what are they doing, tell me
that? They're living in the passed,
that's what they're doing, just setting
back smoking opium and worshipping
their ants sisters bones, he said.
They've outlived their usefulness and
you can't tell me no diffrent, he said
OF can't, heh? my barber said. Well
leave me tell you that you're just blow
ing lot Of hot air through your hat,
because you can't wawk into depart
ment store without seeing a lot Of
Junk marked Made in China, and who
do you think makes it all, them Japs?
I should say not, they're to bizzy try
ing to tell them Chinks how to run
their own bizZness instead Of staying
home where they belong, they get my
goat, he said. And he pulled my hair
fearse, proving the innocent always
haff to suffer when there's a war going
on, and he said, Bleeve me if l was
the rest Of the werld I'd combine to-
gether and teach them JapS Lessee
those kind Of carvings on get me hot
under the collier.
And he gave my hair the verse pull
yet, me saying, Owtch, hay tawk about
the Japs later, will you. why should
haff to have my hair pulled for it?
Wich just then lady came in to
have her hair bcbbed shorter and the
other barber had to start to werk, max
ing me feel lucky.
