Tom Madsen sat beside the tire place and gazed moodily ay the blazing logs as the sparks spiraled upward Outside flakes of snow beat against the window pane to the chime of the church bells ring ing peace and good will to all the earth.
 Peace, Tom muttered Was there such a thing on earth? Not for him, anyway" He had staked everything on his boy Been both father and mother to him-given him the advantage of the best schools, with law partnership waiting for him in his own office, and what did he get? Sorry to disapp0int you, Dad, but I don't seem to be cut out for law. Sally and l want to find happiness in our own way. l mean to buy the old Wormley farm and Sally and I will be married there, in our own home, Dad, on Christmas eve
 Young Tom had choked bit as he saw the look on his fathers face I'm sorry. Dad; l do appreciate all you've dcne for me. but the hand writes and moves on, and it's all settled Be a good sport, Dad, and come to our wedding and give us your blessing" But he had turned on the boy 'Never!" he cried. See my son married to cheap dancer; a Young Toms face was white Stop, Dad, or l might forget you are my father" and he had rushed out of the house
 That had been three long months ago. An eternity for him. He had been too hasty; had been govern ed by his preJudices. One couldn't measure the present generation by the one of his day Tom, Jr was no fool; he should have trusted him to do the right thing; what right had he to interfere; to say how any life should be lived?
 Suddenly he wanted to have a share in the joyfulness. He reached for his hat, but remembered it was too late for shopping, but there was his check book What if Tom re- fused his tardy offering? The eager look died There was loud ringing of the door bell and the sound of rushing feet-the door was flung open. There was Tom, look ing just like he used to when he came to him for comfort. Dad, we just have to have you Sally sent me to bring you It's Christmas" Tom, Sr., held out his arms We went disappoint Sally. son"

UnWrapping Christmas Presents

Yuletide has come around again and it is time to take Christmas from it's year-long wrappings.
 At our house we have wardrobe trunk in one of whose drawers re- pose all year the Christmas tree ornaments, some table decorations, napkins and favors left from the childrens party, bright papers and ribbons salvaged from the last minute rush to wrap and mail or hoarded from Aunt Louise's gift package, which IS always an out ward marvel.
 Through Easter, Fourth of July Halloween, Thanksgiving, they have lain forlorn and unwanted, these remnants of Christmas. But now we open the drawer with as lively excitement as if we had never seen its contents. Mother, did you know we still had this big silver star?" 1Why, here's enough icicles to trim the whole tree!" Where did these bluebird ornaments come from?"

holiday and shouted, Mother, did Santa come and did he bring me a big baby doll with curls and eyes that open and shut?"
 Year, dearie, Santa came and brought you very pretty doll"
 Then spying it, seated beneath the tree dressed in scarlet fincry, Bonny Jean clasped it to her breast. Upon close inspection, she soon learned that it was the same sort of doll she had always received, only with new features.
 Just as she was about to burst into protest at her bitter disap- pointment there came 6 rap upon the door and kindly neighbor was saying, Merry Christmas" Then with happy smile
 What is the matter, little girl? Hasn't Santa Claus come yeti"
 "Oh, yes, he came, but he brought me the same old rag doll again. l thought sure it would be a real one this year, because I'm nine, you see"
 "Oh. I am so sorry" said Dorothy May. with true feeling and thinking

 Their names are Alice Blue and Eleanor Blue" said their little mis- tress, proudly.
 q want to give you one of them, Bonny Jean; which do you like?"
 With unbelievable surprise, her eyes fairly dancing with joy, she clasped the beautiful doll in her arms and asked, "Is-it-really- ne-for-keeps?"
 Really and truly for keeps" said Dot.
 Dorothy May explained it all to her mother after the happy little girl had left, that somehow she just did not miss Eleanor Blue very much when she saw how happy she

Aren't the dolls beautiful" ex- claimed Joan to her mother, as she gazed upon the finished product of the Two Little Dolls in Blue" which Dorothy May had ordered from Santa Claus.
 They are quite the loveliest I have ever seen," spoke mother. T do believe that you have put your very heart and soul into their fash ioning."
 Joan had spent many days and nights, too, stitching a loving holi- day thought into each tiny gar ment. The dainty materials had been transformed into things of beauty. The dresses of pale blue silk with bonnets and slippers to match, had proclaimed them the Two Little Dolls in Blue"
 "Oh, won't Dot love them?' beamed Joan, as she again eyed the dolls from head to foot with a happy smile of complete satiSfac- tion

that the others had stopped their celebration and were beaming upon her with transformed emotion.
 The spell was broken when Doro- thy May suddenly stopped singing and called out, What shall I name the two little dolls in blue'?"
 Well" said Joan, smilin g thoughtfully, since they are dress ed in blue and are two very im- portant little ladies, why not call one Alice Blue and the other Elinor Blue?" And so the dolls were named.
 On Christmas morning in another house around the corner, Bonny Jean awoke with the joy of the
