nished in the best i
of taste. Its massive Jacobean high- j
backed chairs, long tabic, draperies all
harmonized. But that quality which
puts one at ease was lacking. It
looked austere and unfriendly. The j
sen ants had decorated the table and j
room profusely, trying to give a little
of the Christmas atmosphere. The for
bidding look still asserted itself,
though. From the length of the table
and amount of edibles piled upon It,:
one might have judged there was to be j
quite a party, but only four places!
were set.
The dinner gong sounded. A middle- j
aged, well-dressed man and woman np- ,

“She didn't say where she was go
ing. Robert." replied Ills wife.
"She probably thought Hubert was
taking too long in getting over here,
so she took it upon herself to go after
him."
"Undoubtedly,” assented Mrs. Fre
mont.
Thelma came soon bursting in upon
her folks, coat and hat still on. To be
sure, slie had Hubert with her.
"Dad. mother,” she exclaimed, “come
anil see what I have out here!"
She led her folks into the front hall.
To their astonishment, they found the
Good 10-room house, water, lights and
conveniences, close in—suitable for two

"Well, where did you get these?"
sabl Mr. Fremont In his blustering
way.
"It's like this, Dad," begun Thelma
with u rather apologetic air: vWhen
1 came downstairs this afternoon and
saw that dlhlng room table heaped up
with good tilings—well, I just went for
Hubert; together we found the name
of the nursery or home or whatever
you cal! it, near lie.re and we weut over
there. I had the matron give me half
a doxen children, and here they are.”
She pointed to the group In front of
her, who were busy taking In their
surroundings. ‘“Children, tills Is my
father, and this my mother. Now, Dad,
here i- Tony, Rose, Frederick, Charles,
Anna, and Marie,” as she gathered the
children to her. “Now, children, we
arc going in and have dinner. Lot's
see. Hubert, you take Frederick and
uhnrlex, I)ad take Tony; Mother, you
tilke Anna, and I will have Rose and i
Marie." /
T lie children, ranging from six to
eight, were rather shy until they set
eyes on all the goodies on the table;
then they were all excitement. Thelma
winked at Hubert, and then looked at
her dad. He was busy keeping meat
enough cut tip for Tony, supplying his
numerous other demands, and keeping
up with Ids many questions. The chil
dren were fairly stuffed when they
climbed down from the table.
"We arc going to play some games
now," said Thelma. “Hubert, you get
on that side of the circle; come on,
Dad and Mother.” But no umount of
coaxing could bring Dad and Mother.
Dad thought he hud done his share.
“What do you think?" said Thelma
to the children a little while later;

On last Sunday light, December Kith,

Rev. B. F. Earnest and claimed 1h;
wife and mother of the home. Mrs.
Earnest had been in declining health
for some time. She leaves a husband
and live children, two boys and tlirep
girls, and a host of relatives and friends j
to mourn her departure. Interment was j
made in the cemetery at Mt. Zion. |
Mr. and Airs. Leo Hutson announce j
the birth of a daughter on the eleventh
of this month.
Mr. and. Mrs. A. D. Reid and fam-i
ily, of Birmingham, Ala., spent several ,
days visiting in this community re- j

Mr. and Airs. T. N, Pettigrew have j
recently moved to the AV. II. fS. Howard |
place.
"Hubert tells me he was just In the
library, and Santa left a Christmas
tree and some gifts for you In there."
They all made a dash for .the door.
“Where do you suppose she got these
tilings'.-” queried Mr. Fremont of his
wife.
"I can't imagine,” she replied; “this
must have been the planning of more
than today.
It came time for Thelma to. give the
dread announcement that they were to
leave for the home. Before doing so
she surveyed the scene before her:
There was Dad, on his hands and
knees, crawling about the iloor with
Tony, playing train. Tony had suc
ceeded in winning over Air. Fremont.
There sat her mother reading a story
to three of the youngsters, and Hu
bert—she could hardly, believe iter
eyes—sat cuddling a . little sleeping
form in his arms. She went over and
sat down on the uvrq of his chair.
“You depr old thihg," she said, put
ting her nnn around lihn ; then, “Hu
bert, look at Dad. Won’t you say this
day was been a success?”.
