fun it had been through the years.
"Well, girls" spoke mother"
beaming with the holiday spirit,
''who is to get the almond in the
Christmas pudding?" This is leap
year, you know"
Lois and EN- giggled, knowingly,
exchanging winks, as both were Sc
cretly engaged to be married.
Soon mother was busil. engaged
in the dishing up of this delicious
pudding. 1t was being formed into
cone-shaped mounds, resembling
Christmas snow.
All eyes were now focused eX-
pectantly upon the rich creamy
mountains of rice and they could
scarcely wait until they dipped
their spoons into it's foamy depths
III was blinking at En- and care
fully chewing each individual rice
kernel, so as not to miss the al
mond. EN- was slyly winking al
mother and smiling confidently.
Father was too pleased for words
as he calmly viewed the whole stu
alton with satisfied enthusiasm, Sc
cretly hoping that he would not
come upon the almond.
Where on earth was the Christ
mas almond? All had quite fin
ished with no sign of the coveted
nut. A strange silence pervaded,
coupled with surprised sense of
Gismay and disappointment.
Julia, called mother, to the girl
in the kitchen, have you eaten
your rice pudding YETI"
eyes, Mrs Allen" promptly re-
sponded Julia.
''What is the matter. my dear,
you look so upset?"
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Allen, but l al
most broke my tooth on a strange
nut l found in the pudding"
A louder roar of laughter than
was ever heard before, permeated
the holiday atmosphere as one by
one they tried to explain the Christ
mas almond to Julia. AS he laugh
ter ended, the "Glorified Christmas
Pudding" once more faded away
into tradition.

Miss Emily p Bissell of Whining
ton, Delaware, still active in Christ
mas Seal work in Wilmington, was
the designer of the first Christmas
Seal in America and promoted its
first sale in Delaware. First funds
raised were used to help build hos
pital for children i'll with tuberculosis.
Miss Bissell was inspired by mag
azine article written by Jacob Riis
telling of the Danish Christmas Seal
and the good work being done with
funds raised through this method.
On the thirtieth anniversary OF the
Christmas Seal in America, Miss Bis
sell may look with pride at the gigan'
tic organization into which her little
beginning has grown.
On December 8, birthday party
was to be given for Miss Bissen at the
Hotel DUPONT, Wilmington, marking
the thirtieth anniversary of the intro
duction of the Seal into the United
States.
