TAOES your little wrinkled grandmother with the black dress that “shuf shufs so softly along the floor—and who always is safe under her white nightcap by 9 o’clock—ever get a little “spell” and sit by the blazing hickory logs long after the rest of the young household is breathing deep under the quilts ? If you’d slip your feet out on the cold door, open your door without a An Annual Injustice By Beatrice Fairfax THERE are very few girls over ten these days who do not have their' own Christmas spending money. Those too young to earn money are given an allowance, and this making of daughter an independent factor in the home begins in many instances when she is little more than a baby, and is given every Saturday night her weekly allowance for “helping mother” during the week. Out of thi§ allowance when a child, and later out of the money she earns with her own hands, siie buys many lit tle luxuries for the home and for her self. I put “the home” first for the rea son that a daughter's generosity is proverbial. When the holidays approach, she gets out her little store, and no one engaged in the great big shopping game at this time of the year has a list that is long er. And few, alas! have purses that are much flatter. She Is young, and, therefore, has a Up-to-Date Jokes Teacher (reading aloud) —The weary sentinel leaned on his gun and stole a few moments sleep. “I bet I know where he stole it.” “Where, Dot?” “From his •nap-sack." “Does my boy,” inquired the parent, “seem to have a natural bent In nny one direction?” “Yes, sir,” said the teacher. "He gives every indication of being a cap tain of industry some day. He gets the other boys to do all his work for him." Pat had joined the navy, and was being drilled with his shipmates on a pier. “Fall in!" came the order. Immediately Pat fell into the water. “Two deep!” was the next order. Pal (sputtering In the water): “Bad scran to ye! Why didn’t ye tell me it was too deep before 1 fell in?" It was dinner time and the conversa tion turned to sport. "Did I ever tell you about me brother Tom winning the cup in the Marathon race?” said Terence to his mate. “One cup—why, that’s nothin'!" said Mike. "My uncle Dennis has cups for swimming and running, medals for wrestling and watches for football." "Bedad, and he must be a great ath lete!" said Terence. "Begorra, and ye're wrong," replied Mike. “He's a pawnbroker.” A young' man about to get married asked bls father how he got on so well with bls wife. The old man considered tor a moment or two, and then In ■ ~d: "It’s like this John. If j our n ife is Il good woman. Isl her have In ; own way; and if sin -.< two mie. -b<-II take ii.'.' A long-gone friend drops in on a snowy night to tr k over old times. long list of friends. After she is older she will find that many plants she nur tured in her garden of friendship have proven to be weeds, but in the hope fulness of youth all look in her eyes like buds of rare promise. Home Folks Suffer. Some one must be sacrificed. She can not buy handsome presents for al] on her list. She puzzles over it with pretty brow deeply furrowed. She would be ashamed to give an inexpen sive present to this friend, or that friend, recalling the handsome gifts she received from them last year. No. she can not economize there! There is only one way left! She must economize on what she gives her father and mother! “They,” she says, resting secure in a love that knows no criticism, “will un derstand.” So she buys of the best for every so called friend, and with the few pennies left gets mother a back comb, br sub scribes for a magazine for father which contains the kind of reading she most enjoys. This is a form of Christmas injustice so often practiced that daughters get used to this last-penny consideration for the two who love them the most, and give these little make-shift gifts without regrets or a qualm of con science. Then there is another form of Christ mas Injustice just as inexcusable. Daughter forgets mother or father is an individual, with personal longings and necessities. She regards the one, or the other, or both, as "the house.” "The parlor,” she says, "needs a new chair. I will give one to mother and father for Christmas." Sacrifice Others. And there appears in the parlor a chair which adds to its attractiveness for daughter's company. It is not put In father’s den where he can sit in it, or in the corner where mother spends her few leisure moments. If it were, then the spirit of Christmas would at tend such a gift and make of the least expensive article the most comfortable and comforting of its kind. But that the gift is for “the house” is obvious. To consider mother as the dining room in urgent need of a new table cloth, or father as the hall crying for a new hatrack is to make of Christ mas a painful joke. If, as daughter argues, “the house” really needs new chairs, table linen or hall furniture, then let her go to her parents and say: “Let mo be 'the house' this year. Give me a new mattress for the spare room instead of that set of furs 1 want." Be just, girls, and don't try to spread your spirit of generosity over too largi a -iilfai e.

Garside BUYING FOR FATHER. THERE may be other women who pojjit with pride and alarm to long lists of friends and relatives they remember at Christmas, but there isn’t one of them so badly infected with the Holy Yuletide germ as Daysey May me Appleton. She gives to everybody, including the woman she met on a train a year ago last summer and hasn’t seen since. She gets the Christmas trot in such exag gerated form that if it were not for her father's exalted position as Kin Com missioner General of the United States, she would be arrested for exceeding the speed limit. After such effort her brain had begun to feel as inflamed as a sprig of holly. She had scratched name after name off her list and had at last come to father. “Dear father,” she thought. "He is so good! I must remember dear fa ther!" She coaxed S2O out of him as a pre liminary effort to remembering him, and with this in her purse she started downtown. She passed a millinery store on the way and went in. When she came out she had paid $lB for a sweet little hat the size of a wagon wheel. “I am on my way." she recalled, “to buy a Christmas gift for father.” She reached a department store and went tn and walked and walked, and ROMANCE UP TO DATE. It was a secluded corner, hemmed in with palms and fairy lights, calm, cool and restful. In the distance could be heard the strains of a band, playing a slow, rapturous waltz. The very air breathed with romance. "Do you realize what it would mean if I were to give you such a beautiful ring?" he asked softly. She thought she did; but. instead of saying so—for she wished to hear him say those blessed words herself -she cooed a gentle— “ What? What would it mean?" “It would mean," he said, as he rose to his feet, “that. I should have to live on ten-cent lunches and wear old clothes for a year!" CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

"JRS 1 / kTTiI daSjwJ Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX, BOTH RIGHT AND NATURAL. Dear Miss Fairfax: Is it right for a fellow to ask a girl to go out with him on a Mon day and Thursday? Do you think he cares anything about her? M. M. F. He certainly cares for her or he would not seek her company two evenings a week. As this love story progresses 1 ■shall be sure he is limited in time or love if he doesn’t seek it oftener. NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am in love with a man 45 years old, and he says he loves me sin cerely. lam sixteen years old and considered very good looking. At present he is making sl3 a week: lie is a section hand for a very large railroad, but has fine chance for advancement. Do you consider his small wages and age a detri ment to our marriage? He wants me to elope. RAY. He is not a man of honor. No man of 45 will urge a girl of sixteen to elop with him if he loves her in the right way. You must never see him again, or hold any communication with him. I beg of you to heed me. HAVE YOU A RIGHT TO OBJECT? Dear Miss Failfax: I iwi nineteen and love a man four years my senior. His sister and I are friends and I often call on her. when I know he is out. The last feu times I called on her I triet three or four young ladies of about my age and they, not knowhjg me, made inquiries as to his whereabouts and made state ments which led me to believe that they ate fond of him and were out in his company several times. A. You are not engaged, and the fact that you have given your love unsought doesn’t make you the young man’s cen sor or guardian. It seems to me the other girls are guests of his sister because of the sain, motive that takes you there. Don’t go so often, and don’t. I beg of you, if you want to win this man’s love make the mistake of being too easily won yourself. Shotect IfcuMeff! Get the Original and Genuine HORLICK’S MALTED MILK The Food*drink for All Ages.
