A New England Christmas.
Continued from Page Two.
!o<tk out the window!” Dorothy
sat up in bed and rubbed her
eves. “Where am I?” she mur¬
mured drowsily. Then her eyes
flew open wide, and with a cry of
joy sho sprang from the bed
and ran to the window. The
world which yesterday had been
so cold and dreary was wrapped in
a blanket of dazzling white with a
fringe of glistening icioles. Dor¬
othy could hardly wait to get
dressed, she was so anxious to
play in beautiful snow; she was
fairly dancing with excitement.
Soon she had ou her wraps and
was enjoying herself in the snow,
pelting papa with snowballs and
being pelted herself. For awhile
she forgot that it was Christmas
morning, and when she went in to
oreukfast, with rosy cheeks and
••hining eyes, she was surprised to
see the bulging stockings hanging
by tbe fireplace in the dining
ro<*m. Of coarse they had to be
emptied right away, and among
the lovely thiugB she found were a
pair of skates, a little locket and a
ring.
After breakfast the cousins, big
and little, began to arrive, and
Dorothy bad some trouble in get¬
ting acquainted with them all,
but they had fine times all the
morning, building forts, throwing
snowballs and making a big snow¬
man. All this was new and de¬
lightful to Dorothy, but whet;
grandma called them to dinner
she quite ready to go,
Oh, that dinner! Dorothy feast
ed her eyes on the great brown tur¬
key and could hardly wait patient¬
ly to be helped. At last, when «he
had finished her desert, and felt
like sbe couldn’t possibly eat an¬
other mouthful, she leaned back
in her chair and remarked that it
was “the very bestest dinner’’ she
had ever tasted,
After dinner all the children
went down to the pond back of
the house and spent a delightful
afternoon on the ice. Dorothy
was very anxious to learn how to
skate whet: she saw how well the
others could do, and had a lot of
fun learning.
But the best wns yet to come.
When ths children went in to sup¬
per they could hardly eat for
thinking of tbe Christmas tree
which they knew was coming.
And they hadn’t long to wait, for
soon the parlor door was thrown
open and there stood the Christ¬
mas tree, in all ita glory of candleB
and strings of snowy popcorn.
Grandpa, dressed in far coat and
cap, with long white beard, made
a capital Santa Claus, and distrib¬
uted the gifts with a lavish hand.
Dorothy had to pinch herself oc¬
casionally to make sure that she

was tn a beautiful dream. She sat
in a big arm chair with her pres¬
ents piled in her lap aed at her
feet, thinking that she had never
had such a delightful Cbrismas.
No doubt her Northern cousins
would have thought a Christinas
in Southern Florida just as beauti¬
ful if ih»y hud been there.
Dorothy went to Led tired but
happy, and wa# asleep almost be¬
fore her head touched the pillow,
and she heard Grandma’s “Happy
