SAVES PENNIES FOR CAPITAL CHRISTMAS 44 M RS. HULL has a capital plan of saving and giving Christ mas capital which she calls her ‘fancy fund,' because she uses it exactly as she wishes, with no drawing on tiie regular family income,” Mrs. Ross exclaimed enthusiastically to her friends at an afternoon tea. "The day after Christinas Mrs. Hull begins saving pennies that come into her hands through the year, She places them In a toy bank and adds six per cent Interest at the end of the year. If she has saved ten dol lars in pennies she adds sixty cents, which she says pays postage on her Christmas parcels. She always has a fund for Christmas, for she has never acquired the ‘penny habit of giving' to church activities. Last year she di vided the ‘fancy fund’ among her nieces and nephews, with instructions that the small amount was to be p] ace d in saving and to be added to, or use( j as capital to compile more capital. The results were interesting, f or eac h recipient must always keep aU j 0lin t j a reserve for a future sav ings account. "Once Mrs. Hull purchased seeds and bulbs and distributed them where they would lie appreciated; once she subscribed for magazines which ro tated among a large number of read ers, some in public institutions. An other time she ordered toys, games and books for a children’s home; an other year she procured dozens of small dolls, with remnants for clothes, to send to a needy mission school. Once she sent hundreds of greeting cards, and once scores of inspiring mottoes to places where such things are seldom seen. Her mother one year received a fresh bouquet or a plant every few weeks during the year. This year her husband, who promised her his pennies, has added to her ‘fancy fund.’ She has over twelve dollars with the interest, and she has figured she may spend twenty-five cents each week during the year in making some one happier—fifty-two weeks of send ing Christmas cheer! As Ideas and opportunities present themselves each week she will use the fund. The first week she invited a homesick college boy into her home to spend the week end. “It seems to me that Mrs. Hull Is accumulating more than cold capital in her penny plan. She is establish ing a ‘bank of blessings’ with unlimited ‘reserve funds of love,’ which com pounds interest at a rapid rate and pays one hundred per cent.” “Dlvlnelike dividends,” Mrs. Leigh answered softly.—Gertrude Walton.

CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR THE SHOP GIRLS T vey HE woman of the made vast a outspread leisurely sur- of Christmas goods, then turned to the girl behind the counter. “You must have a Chrlstmasy feel ing in here,” she congratulated. “I almost envy you, my dear. That group of school girls did seem so hap py over something.” It was early, with very few cus tomers. The woman talked at the counter ten minutes or more, then was conscious of a low, peculiar whistle. The counter girl flushed anxiously and moved straight toward the office of the room manager. The customer went on a few yards to another girl. “What Is it?” she asked; “my talk ing with her? She is a nice girl.” “Janie is awful nice, paying a sis ter’s expenses at school, and support ing her mother. Pity the room man ager wants her job for another—but please don’t be seen talking to me any more. I—I can’t risk losing my pldce.” “Why, my poor child! I should be seen buying instead of talking. U’m! And down by the door a girl said that this store stops salaries on vacations. U’m 1” The girl Janie was just coining from the office, crying. “Fired you, did they?” snapped the customer, frowning. “Tell me how?” “Here—here,” fumed the floor man ager, at the door. “Our discipline— sr, why Mrs. Waite, I—I didn’t recog nize you in that plain dress. It’s—er, all right. N-nothing will be done. And —and don’t mention it to Mr. Hall. It might—er, lose me my—head.” “Might be a good thing for the help, too,” ungraciously. “Now, look here. Janie Is to have a new position, at half salary extra, as sort of room host to go round and talk with cus tomers and help smooth out their per plexities. And vacations of all the girls are to be taken with salaries con tinued.” “But—” “Or I shall change my custom to a more humane store. Have a talk with the owners. Tell them the alternative. They will Jump to do it. No, Janie,” at the girl’s wondering look,” I don’t own a cent of stock; Just supposed to be the largest customer. And—er, I’m trying to make all you girls a Christ mas present ’’—Frank Herbert Sweet. (©. 1925. Western Newspaper Union.) Sing Hey and Ho! Sing hey anyl ho for the Christmas tree!

Since then its light has streamed ; t across the ages for man’s guid- i ance, but how often has it failed to penetrate the hearts It ? t should! How oft have greed, it and plggislmess dulled Its fair luster in the hearts of men till Christmas comes to be a grab I bag or a bore! > But the Star still shines in I the hearts of those who truly ? yearn for "Glory to God In the I* highest, and on earth, peace, n id good will toward men.” It still ft * beckons to the cradle of lowll- 5 ness, where love is above honors ft ‘ and riches. May it enter our C. hearts this Christmastide, and ?! Hi leading us away from selfishness, ?! i* point to the fair goal of charity. ft Id May we forget our pride and * self, and may the Star of Bethle itude, hem illume our hearts with grat- ?! and joy, and kindness to v* all men.
