come back to the old Page house, and

Sally stayed obediently She was
wondering how much longer she
could stand up, without something
to hold her. Her knees felt weak and
there was light that seemed to dance
before her eyes.

Then he was unreasonable. Il wanted

Mary to see some of the terrible

to see why it is you're so interested in

"You think that will help us?" de-

Morris will be willing to fight for de-

sounded to her as if it belonged to
someone else. She made a stumbling
effort to reach her chair. Philip got

y Sally did not want to go home, but
she let Philip take her down the stairs
and put her into the car. She could
walk. but she was none too steady
on her feet. She leaned close to the
open window of the car and let the
breeze blow on her face. Suddenly
she knew that she could not go home
just now and face her family.
"Please don't take me home" she
said Il can't think of any place to

two little girls around the corner,
danced up and down with Joy when
they saw the snowy handkerchiefs
with colored borders. Marelu
smiled happily as she left the little
girls and proceeded to her next
stop. Effie Lynn was overwhelmed
with surprise when gift was hand

been years since she had received

After several other interesting
calls Marelu started for home. The
street lights flashed on and the
glimmering Christmas trees joined
in the ceremony on all sides OF
her. AS she drew near her own
home she stood still a moment and
admired the grandeur of the dark
pines encircling the house under a
white burden of snow. The varia-

windows seemed to be stretching

Supper In The Garden

IT was mid-afternoon before Sally
i found time to rest a moment. She
remembered then that she had eaten
no lunch and that she had had only
coffee for breakfast. Although she
wanted no food. she felt weak and
shaky. She had decided to go out for
a sandwich when Philip Page rang the
bell from his Office. Sally got her
pencil and knocked at his door.
Can you take some letters?" he in
quired, without looking at her.
Sally seated herself beside him and
began to take letter. Philip Page
spoke rapidly but seldom asked to
have anything changed. When he was
through and Sally had risen to go, he
called her back.
