MAKING CHRISTMAS
REAL CELEBRATION
R. AND MBS. BROWN screed
not to have any Cbristmaa cel
ebration. They would just be
mAiibl?, and hiTt a restful holiday
without any of the worry of try In*
to oatdo each other and their frlenda
In the exchange of gifts.
Their friends had consented ^not to
glee them any presents, and as they
had ao children. It would be easy to
carry out their Intention of having
Just an ordinary holiday.
Christmas morning arrived and Mr.
Brown looked at Mrs. Brown through
blinking eyes.
"Merry Christmas," he said; "Merry
Christmas," echoed his wife.
They were both startled. That was
not the way to begin an ordinary holi
day. They had begun It Just as they
had begun every other Christmas.
"But then," Mrs. Brown explained,
"It wouldn't be right not to say It,
would it, dear?"
Mr. Brown quite agreed with her,
and they went down to breakfast.
At Mr. Brown's place were some
packages.
"What are these7" he asked, with
pretended harshness.
"Oh, dearie," said his wife, "yoi;
won't be angry, will you? I just
couldn't help giving you something. It
wouldn't be Christmas without some
surprises. And. as we weren't giving
any presents, I thought It was a good
opportunity to get you some things
you have needed a long time.
Mr. Brown tore open the packages,
which to his great delight contained
a velvet lounging robe, some Russian
leather slippers and a box of his
favorite cigars.
"You dear!" he cried, and kissed
his wife ardently.
Then he drew from his pocket a
small box which he handed her. Her
eyes sparkled.
"Por me?" she exclaimed.
"For you," he said, and add*d, as
she lifted from the box a beautiful
necklace of pearls, "I thought since
we weren't giving any presents this
year, It was a good opportunity to buy
you these pearls you have wanted so
long." '
"You dear," said his wife, and
kissed him Joyously.
Just then the doorbell rang. A mes
senger with flowers and candy was at
the door. "I thought it wouldn't be
Christmas without these," said Mr.
Brown.
"And you were right," agreed his
wife. "You can't have Christmas
without candy and flowers, and pres
ents and surprises, which show how
people really love you."?H. Lucius
Cook.

PLAYING SAFE IN
CHRISTMAS GIVING
ANKER CHISHOLM refused ac
commodation to persons who
seemed the most successful mer
chants in town, and to some of the
wealthiest citizens. An account over
checked by even a dollar received
quick notice. It was as if Banker
Chisholm had a finger on the pulse of
the town, and whenever a pulse fal
tered he withdrew. He was not run
ning a hospital.
So he became known as "Stony
Face," "Frost," "Bloodless," and the
like. Even the many solicitors of
charity went to him without expec
tation.
Each Christmas mysterious turkeys
were left at doors whose owners were
not expecting to have any. Loads of
wood and tons of coal appeared In
the same way. Banker Chisholm
i could have told something about them.
|; Only one person in town really un
derstood, and that was Andy Searles,
an old seatmate at school. Andy was
a failure, and indifferent about It, but
he was a close-mouthed participant in
his friend's secrets.
One day the banker called him into
his back room.
"Here is a thousand dollars, Andy,"
he began, nodding at a roll on the
j table. "I want you to slip it into your
pocket and distribute it where you feel
lt\wlll make the most Christmas."
Vln your name this time, Bill. I
do^'t like what they call you."
(anker Chisholm reached for the
m<?iey.
Then 1 won't give anything," he
Id. "You remember how my prede
tesor, Mr. Wade, almost ruined hlm
lelf and the bank by his reckless gen
erosity and accommodation to unsafe
borrowers. If I became known as an
easy giver, I would be attacked by a
horde of friend*, and?I'm afraid I*M
too soft-hearted to play safe. The
only way is to keep up my reputation
of '8tony Face.' It is my salvation.
I'm terry you?"
[ "Oh. all right," Interrupted Andy
gruffly. "Give me the money. IH dis
tribute It where I see need, and want
of a Merry Christmas."?Frank Her
bert Sweet.
