DECLARES FRANCE
WILL PAY HER DEBT
TO UNTIED STATES
%
Washington, Dec. 23.—Jules J.
Jusserand, the retiring French am
bassador, told an audience here
yesterday that France, after a
moratorium for a “breathing spell”
could and would begin repayment
of her war debt to the United
States.
He made it plain, however, that
France expected preferential
treatment as compared with terms
granted by the United States to
other war debtor nations, because,
he said, France suffered the great
est loss in life and blood, the
greatest in fortune, comparative
ly and finally, “because France
was the battlefield.”

Christmas Invitation
an Insult to Mabelle
A lovely Christmas present—an
Invitation to the opera—an insult!
The beast! Oh, the beast! And to
think I had grown so fond of him.
How could he be so rudeT' Ma

the floor, a deep red flush suffusing
her face. She walked to the mirror
over the mantle and looked at her
self intently. A bearded woman T
she said in contempt at herself. “I
am bearded, of course—but the
nerve of him! I’ve always intended
to have that frightful hair removed
from my upper lip. It is hideous,
Isn’t It, mother? But oh, how could
he be so unkind?”
Why, daughter, what are you
talking about? I don’t understand.
It seems to me If I were given tin
invitation to the opera as Christmas
greeting I should be only too de
lighted. And what has hair on ; your
upper lip to do with opera, any
way?’

REFLECTORS
If we could reflect the
spirit of Christmas cheer half
as brilliantly as a piece of tin
will reflect the rays from a
lamp, we should help to light
the world to an amazing de
gree.
Who can hold out against a
smiling face that radiates fun
and kindliness? Who is cold
enough to resist the melting
warmth of real friendliness?
Let’s pretend, this Christ
mas, that we are very bright,
and imitate the modest tin re
flector of the lamp of un
quenchable goodfeilowshlp!—

Moon and Ice Honored
as Christmas Guests
They planned to have a moon
light skating party during the
Christmas season. All of the young
people, and a number of the hearty
older ones, too, had been inter
ested.
So the party was planned.
And then everyone hoped the
two honored guests would not fail
them.
For without the two honored
guests there could be no moonlight
skating party.
W’hat would a moonlight skating
party be without a moon and with
out Ice?
Nothing at all.
But the moon came and the Ice
froze solid. And the crisp, clear
air seemed to have a special Christ
mas vim about it, too.—Mary Gra :
ham Bonner.
she first saw the ox teams get un
der way under Irvin WiUat’s direc
tion, but after many weary miles
of bouncing over the Texas land
scape she decided that was the
best kind of motion for cross-coun
try traveling. Like the other mem
bers of tbe company, she was glad
to return to the comfort of the Par
amount studios for interior scenes
after more than two months in the
open.
Canned Christmas May
Bring Welcome Things
The art of giving may be culti
vated and Christmas may be as a
serial story, each month unfolding
a sequel of surprises; or the Christ
mas spirit may be so abundant that
U is not all used In one day or one
month, but as goodies, it may be
canned in love packages, ready to
open and use any time In the year.
When Mother or some shut-ln
opens her Christmas remembrances
she must find twelve packages, each
with a rhyme so that one
will be opened bn the first of each
month. The January package may
contain a pergonal bit of finery with
handwork for winter evenings—
something she would never get for
herself; for February there may be
kodak snapshots; a current maga
zine; poems; a story clipped from
a paper; filing cards with recipes;
in March are bulbs and seeds with
hints for growing them. Seeds are
always appreciated, particularly if
they are of tested variety from
home gardens. In another month's
package are useful notions, as pins,
needles, shoe laces, hairpins, thread,
tape or cosmetic articles; June may
have an invitation for a visit or a
day’s outing to a favorite haunt.
What a joy to anticipate! Novem
ber will reveal a supply of Christ
mas tags, seals, stamps, cards, etc.;
December’s gift may be a “love let
ter of wishes” and a motto, framed
to hang where every hour it gives
a cheery message to you.—Gertrude
Walton.

Exemplify the Spirit
God Would Have Shown
■ Mother, why do we make such
ado about Christmas? We all know
It’s to remember our Savior’s birth
day, but why should we litter up
the whole house and work our
fingers off trying to get all these
boxes ready? I’m exhausted and
exasperated. It’s become a burden
to me—‘Bear ye one another’s bur
dens.’ I’m going to bear these bur
dens to the post office as fast as
I can, and never again will observe
Christmas in this manner.
Georgia was off to the office and
soon returned laden with even more
boxes than she set out with.
‘Truly, MoTher, when I posted
those boxes I was more bappy than
when I received all these. * >
“Just so, Georgia,” said her moth
er. I knew you were tired and the
fresh air would do you good. What
we do for others at Christmas Is
but the spirit of Christmas radiat
ing through us. He came as a
gift to us and we show our love
by doing His will and spreading
joy. We must put joy into what
we do and not make it drudgery.
One gift to me from a friend, no
matter how small, if given with
love, is far more appreciated than
costly gifts hastily selected. A
Christmas gift falls short of Its
meaning if not given with the splrif
God would have us give It.—All in
love.—Emily Burks Adams.
