Did they have a tree for themaelrea

was meant for, and they acted on the

have done It every year; but since I’m
only a new acquaintance, compara

HIS Is a very lively Christmas

ful In an emergency, for It can
be played without preparation
of any kind. Arrange us many
chairs as there urc players in the
form of a circle. When this has
been done the party must divide into
sides, one side being blindfolded and
taking possession of the chairs In such
a way that each has a vacant chair
at his right hand.
The other side then move silently
Into the middle of the circle, and at
u given signal they must all mysteri
ously uud noiselessly seat themselves
in the vacant chairs. At the word
"slug" the unbllndfolded players must
all start singing. A well-known tune
may be arranged beforehand, or they
may all sing anything that happens
to occur to them ut the time.
All endeavor to disguise their voices
as much us possible. The blindfolded
players must listen attentively, the
object of each being to guess cor-

That Plum Pudding and 1
Some Twitted Mottoes
S OUISE loved Jokes. She caught
people with questions and puz
zled them with conundrums.. So
she had arranged a program
that centered about the Christ
mas plum pudding. When that came
upon the table each one was to put
in Ills thumb and pull out a plum In
the shape of a twisted motto; there
they were, all around the sides of the
platter.
Father was first, unfolding his plum
he read off the pit of It and, as If to
moderate the coming merriment, said
"All is not laugh that titters.” *
Then mother read hers: "It’s a
wrong k turkey that Jias no turning."
As this did not apply to the bird that
had Just disappeared, the self-satis
fied smile of the cook behind the door
did not come off.
Then Aunt Mary: "A hitch In time
saves mine.” This reference to Bob’s
trousers asserted his independence of
suspenders, but caused his relative te
remind him that he was not as need
less of stitches as he thought, upon
which he replied that he could depend
Upon that tailor who had advertised
"pants a dollars and a half a leg,
seats free."
Then Susan: "We never miss the
swatter till the files go by." This was
a fly paper upon a dead subject and
it was filed for future reference.
Bob’s plum was also laid on the
table after he had read: “A strolling
boy catches no horse.” A sentiment
that he was Inclined to think a little
too personal.
Louise had the last plum and de
clared; "All’s well that ends swell."
Expressing the traveler's satisfaction
with terra firma, less terror and more
firmer.
But the pudding was cooling and
that was no joke, so, as the tempera
ture fell, they fell to.—Christopher G.
Hazard.

There Is Satisfaction
in Trust in the Future
HE was shabby and old and
stooped. As she walked along
the streets people turned and
looked after her with pitying
eyes and thought to themselves
what a hard lot hers must be. Yet,
had they but known the truth she
needed no pity, for, although poor in
material wealth, she was far richer in
other things than many of those who
looked upon her with compassion. For
her heart was full of contentment, she
had a childlike faith and trust In the
future and she was content with her
lot In life, realizing that while she
lacked many of the things which
wenlth could buy, God had given her
many other gifts Instead: The full
ness of years, good health, a little
fireside to call her own, an Income
which, If very meager, was enough
to supply lier with necessities, and,
best of all, the ability to see and en
joy the things which were hers. So,
while the merry Christmas throng
looked at her pityingly ns they
passed, she went serenely on her way
as happy and as much at peace with
everything as if all the earth was
hers.—Katherine Edelman.

A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT
The greater happiness of the Christ
mas season Is a direct result of the
greater participation of men and wo
men In the spirit of Christ. For then
weakness has a power over strength;
and then the laughter in the eyes of
little children seems a better thing
than our own good; and then the tired
routine in the lives of those around us
looks out upon us through enigmatic
eyes, and we understand better, we
pity, we cease to condemn—we would
even ameliorate, we would ehow that
we see and understand—and so we
offer the dumb gift which mutely tells
what our words could never tell; and
then In our hearts, In our households,
In our little world, there Is Christmas
Joy and peace—earth’s highest happi
ness.—Sister M. Fides Shepperson In
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
THE GENUINE SPIRIT
The genuine holiday spirit consists
not only In wishing a merry Christ
mas, but In making one.
MOTHERS’ CHRISTMAS
After receiving her gifts, mother’s
Christmas will be devoted largely to
washing an extra number of dishes.
NEVER TOO HIGH
It might be different with a lot of
things around Christmas, but the mis
tletoe Is never too high.
Hubby—So you're going to take
part In the Christmas Eve entertain
ment. What part do you take?
Wlfey—I take the leading part. I’m
Christmas Eve herself.
XEEP A CHRISTMAS RECORD
Why wouldn’t it be fun for a fam
ily to keep a record book in which to
preserve the Interesting things about
the annual Christmas celebration from
year to year? Some people keep
record of the Important happenings
of their everyday lives, but It Is rather
inconvenient for the average person
to take the time to make It complete
enough to be more than a date and a
line or two. A Christmas record would
give all the details of the family’s
Christmas presents, the names of the
guests, the menu of the Christmas
dinner, the amusements and games,
and maybe a tracing of the baby’s
first little shoe! Every succeeding
year would add to Its value and in
terest.—C. F. Wadsworth.
