Not a bit of it. They know what Christmas was meant for, and they acted on the knowing.

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.

And knowing that, I am going to try my luck, some time when I can get the courage, and ask one of them, the one I happen to be In love with, te "have me." Perhaps if I make the proposal within the Christmas season she'll remember she's a Christmas angel, and take me. Don’t laugh at my audacity. Anything may happen at Christmas time! For Christmas is a magical time. Even a child can tell you that.—Ethel Cook Eliot. <©. 1221, W.it.rn N.w.p.p.r Union.) 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. ((g), 1923. Western Newspaper Union.) - 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.

I (© 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) 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.

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. (©, 1922, VYeat.rn N.w.y.p.r Union.)
