The costume jewelry was
presented to the Presidents

1t was later than usual that
morning when Mr.. Baxter
started for his office. but it did
not really matter because 1t
was Christmas Eve.
Mr.. Baxter felt positively
benign as he left the apart
ment. The air was clear and
crisp. The sky had a blue depth
that made Lexington Avenue
seem relatively beautiful.
At the ONCE the clerks we're
standing about in small groups.
They seemed almost glad to
have Mr.. Baxter discover them
in this relaxed attitude and
nodded to him in a way that he
found quite heartwarming.

to Miss Gillyard as he threw
open the door 10 his ONCE.

Miss Gillyard alone seemed
unaffected by the season.

"What Lunch?"
Mr.. Baxter looked UP. What
lunch?" he asked.

and Mr.. Brown"

Mr.. Baxter groaned. I've

Not so much" said Miss
Gillyard soothingly. Il will

Once Deserted
Mr.. Baxter was the only one
who returned to his ONCE after
the luncheon. The ONCE was
deserted except for the Old

they couldn't bring themselves
