How a Book Came
to Be Written
By DORA L. MULFORD
One summer a young man whose
ipi>earunee smacked of the "plains
stopped at a hotel in the hite moun
tains and. the regular meals of the
day being over, called for a supper to
be cooked for him. When it was ready
lie was called and ushered into the
dining room, which was deserted ex
cept for himself and the waitress who
attended upon him Before he began
to eat lie noticed that she was comely.
Having served him with w hat he need
ed. she was about to leave the room
when he said to her:
"Suppose I need you after you have
gone. What shall I do? ’
There was no hell at hand to call
her, and she took the man's question
for an order to remain. She was evi
dently not pleased at his action and.
taking a position near him. stood first
on one foot, then on the other, looking
part of the time at the ceiling, the ofli
er part at the floor.
‘‘l’m sorry to keep you." he said.
"It doesn't matter, sir. It's my place
to wait on you."
Tlie young man was sorry for what
he had done. He would rather not
have I served than have someone
looking Idly oil when lie ate. Never
theless there was something In the
girl's appearance that interested him
He had heard of college students be
coming waiters or waitresses at hotels
in vacation, and he fancied she might
be one of this class
“You’re no waitress." he hazarded.
“No waitress! What do you mean,
sir?"
“You’re a lady."
“A lady!"
She colored and showed embarrass
ment. He fancied that he had struck
t,u mill on the head. Becoming bold
Ids first success, he pushed on:
“I've met you In society."
“Met me In society! Where?"
The young man chuckled. The ques
tion “Where?" was a dead giveaway.
Had she not been "in society" she
would not have asked such a question.
But he <lld not reply to It.
“I have been looking for you." he
went on, “ever since a certain ball at
which I met you I danced with you
twice during the evening, and you do
not remember me."
The scamp looked very much cut up
at her failure to recollect him
“Was it in New York?" she asked.
Another giveaway. She had been
in society in New York. Many func
tions took place at S s. on Fifth nve
n ue.
“Were you not at u certain dinner
followed by a cotillion given by acer
tain lady of fashion one night’’—
He figured to he trying to recall the
date.
“Fast winter, just before Lent?"
lie broke into a laugh.
"What amuses you?" she naked,
frowning
“I am very much pleased with my
self."
"Indeed! On what account?"
“My perceptive faculties. I knew
you for a lady even in the garb of a
waitress 1 accused you. and you con
tossed, i have never met you before.
All that I have said to you has been
made up of whole cloth."
The girl now broke into a laugh.
“What amuses you?" asked the man.
with a fork midway between Ids plate
and Ids mouth.
"My stupidity."
“Your stupidity? What do you
mean?"
“Rather. I should say confidence.
You were right in saying that we met
at S.’s, and the date I gave you is cor
rect 1 was your partner in the cotll
lion. You told me you would never
forget me And now you tell me that
we have never met before. For shame,
Mr. Kennerton!"
“Kennerton. by Jove!"
“Will you deny your Identity?"
"No, but you! You ure~l have it—
you are Miss Effingham."
“I am."
“But what are you doing as a wait
ress in this hotel?"
"What are you dolilfc in this western

A WONDERFUL TREE? **
THERE'S a wonderful tree, a won
derful tree.
The happy children rejoice to see.
Spreading Its branches year by
year.
It cornea from the forest to flourish here.
Oh, this wonderful tree, with Its branches
wide.
Is always, is always blooming at Christ
mastide!
But not for us children did this tree grow.
With its strange, sweet fruit on each
laden bough.
For those we love we have made with
care
Each pretty thing you see hanging there.
May this wonderful tree, with Its branches
wide,
Bring Joy to our friends at Christmas
tide!
v
For a voice is telling Its boughs among
Of the shepherds’ watch and the angels’
song,
Of a holy babe In the manger low—
The beautiful story of long ago.
When a radiant star threw Its beams so
wide /
To herald the -blessed first Christmastide.
Then spread thy branches, wonderful tree,
And bring the pleasant thought to me
Of him who came from his home above,
The richest gift of his Father’s love.
He came to show us how to spread far
and wide
The joys of the holy, sweet Christmas
tide.
—“Songs and Games For Little Ones."
The Universality of Christmas.
Primarily, of course, Christmas is a
religious festival. In the Christian,
with a sincere belief in the Christ, who
is the foundation rock of his religion,
the words of pri< st end pastor, exhort
ing his flock to observe the day with
ceremonial, observances, find a fervent
response. From every pulpit is told
anew each year the story of him with
out whom Christmas had never been.
But Christinas appeals also to the
nonbeliever in Christ, to the men and
women who cannot subscribe consci
entiously to the doctrine of his divin
ity. It is trite, perhaps, to say that as
Christmas approaches the Christmas
spirit is "in the air," but it is true
none the less. “Peace and good will"
pervade the air that is breathed alike
by churchgoer and nonattendant.
In the big cities Christmas is cele
brated by Christian and Jew and Mo
hammedan as well as by those with no
religion. In the outermost corners of
the earth, wherever men of Christian
faith have borne the standard of civili
zation. the native heathen in intimate
contact with them fee! the coming of
the spirit and rejoice.
It is well that this should be so, for
the spirit of Christmas is the spirit of.
belief not only In Christ, but in one’s
fellow men. Every one may share in
It if he will. Every one may find in
the story of the life that was lived in
Palestine nineteen centuries ago, of the
death that was met on the cross and
of the resurrection that followed, some
thing of personal application, some
thing of uplift.
