Martha Found a Way to
Raise Christmas Funds

= HRISTMAS was drawing nearer
~ and nearer, but Martha Woods
seemed no nearer solution Of her
problem. The giving of gifts at the
Yuletide season had been a tradition
with Martha as long as she could re-
member. This year, however, she saw
no way to keep up the cherished Gus
tom.
During the past months her income
had shriveled to where it would buy
only the necessities for herself and
Emma, her faithful servant. Through
no scrimping or saving could even the
tiniest gifts be sent to those whom she
wished to remember.
Now, as she watched the whirling
flakes of snow, she thought how love
ly it would be to see the big room full
of gaily tied packages, waiting to be
sent on their various ways. Regret
fully she pictured the disappointment
think she had forgotten; they would
never dream she had grown too poor
to buy Christmas gifts; they all be-
lieved her wealthy.
With a heavy sigh she looked around
the beautiful living room. The furnish
ings were luxurious; many Of them
had been in the family for genera
lions. >. Suddenly cry came from
her lips. She had thought of a quick,
sure way to fulfill her desires. She
would sell few of the lovely old
pieces. She would send for the propri-
etor of the antique shop without a
moments delay! Her Christmas gifts
would be on their way tomorrow
