LIFE’S LADDER.
Unto each mortal who comes to earth,
A ladder Is given by God at birth.
And up this ladder the soul must go,
Step by step from the valley below;
Step by step to the center of space.
On this ladder of lives, to the Starting
Place.
In time departed, which yet endures,
I shaped my ladder, and you shaped
yours.
Whatever they are—they are what we
made;
A ladder of light or a ladder of shade,
A ladder of love or a hateful thing.
A ladder of strength or a wavering
string,
A ladder of gold or a ladder of straw,
Each is the ladder of righteous law.
We flung them away at the call of
death,
We took them again with the next life
breath,'
For a keeper stands by the great birth
gates.
As each soul passes Its ladder waits
Though mine be narrow and yours be
broad,
On my ladder alone can I climb to God.
On your ladder alone can your feet
ascend,
For none may borrow and none may
lend.
If toll and trouble and pain are found
Twisted and corded to form each
round.
If rusted Iron or molderlng wood
Is the fragile frame, you must make It
good,
Tou must build It over and fashion It
strong,
Tho* the task be as hard ns your life Is
. long;
For up this ladder the pathway lends,
To earthly pleasures and spirit needs;
And all that may come In another way.
Shall be but Illusion and will not stay.
In useless effort, then, waste no time:
Rebuild your ladder and climb and
climb.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Christmas Sights and Sounds
By MRS. GEO. C. BALL.
The Christmas crowds surge In ever-
increasing mnsses through the streets
of Atlanta, swarm In the big depart
ment stores, Jostle each other In the
small shops, and ns the cold, dark
night comes on. And their way home,
laden with bundles and debating with
the remnant of remaining energy on
of the puzzling problems of these
strenuous times, namely, "Is life worth
while, after all?"
The answer to the riddle depends, as
everyone knows, largely upon the pres
ence or absence of the cook, whan
the questioner reaches the kitchen
door, provided the skeptic be a woirfcin.
For cooks are essential t<^the peace Of
human minds and human homes, re
gardless of seasons and symbols.
The holly wreaths hang In the shop
windows and are beginning to And
their way into the homes of rich and
poor alike, on fashionable avenues ami
on the modest side streets, where cot
tages are tho rule. Crimson Christmas
hells seem to he sending out above the
bustle and noise of the mnrts of trade
the sweet angelus of the ages. •
The shops are filled with beautiful
things! Pottery from famous kilns
brighten many counters; sparkling
Jewels rival the glory of the Decemb?r
sunlight; rare and costly hooks Invite
inspection; quaint things In brass and
copper suggest the feudal ages, and
wonderful candlesticks, which look as
If they hud been carried by maidens
fair, through the corridors of anelent
castles stand in Intimate Juxtaposition
with Teddy Bears and the Inevitable
tin horn.
The florists' windows are like
glimpses of the tropics, which pulsate
with color and fragrance In the warmth
of an equatorial sun.
The irrepressible boy, unmindful
edicts and Indifferent to police, lias
begun his nerve-destroying noises.
The venders of holly and mistletoe
ply their sentimental trade on every
street comer, while the merry eyes of
Hnnta Claus greet those of the pussing
children through the great plate glass
Miss Marlon P^el entertained Thurs
day morning.
After the game a luncheon was
served., The table was covered with
lace mats and had for Its centerpiece
Ii duster of red popples, around which
were silver candlesticks with red poppy
Hhndes.

window, of Atlanta', xplenrild shop,.
We meet our friend, and kindred In
the teeming throngs which surge
through the city's streets, each one
Intent on some generous, helpful deed.
We Jostle and crowd each other, only
to receive In return a smile and kindly
speech. We hall each other with
merry Jest and time nor duty prevents
a happy reply. Friend, and neighbors
at the congested counters are deeply
perplexed with tastes and desires
which far exceed the contents of their
purses, and our hearts go out to them
In warmest sympathy, for each one of
us keenly suffers likewise.
We discuss our necessary economies
In the Jolllest way; we deplore our
abbreviated finances In the most unan
imous fashion. After hours of fruitless
search for something our tastes sug
gest, but our purses deny, with phil
osophic resignation we purchase mere
ly a trifle which will Indicates our love
for some dear one at this tender Christ
mas season.
And then the little children who smile
up at you In the great human mass
which throngs the streets!
How their fresh young face, grow
earnest and thoughtful as they exam
ine the many tempting things which
fill tile stores, and then count over and
over again the scanty contents of their
little purses. But before the day Is
gone they buy some memento for each
loved one, nnd ladencd with mysterious
bundles they reach their homes, weary,
but happy as ynung kings and queens.
All the relations and ties of life arc-
renewed nnd strengthened by the ten
der Interchange of love nnd sympathy
nt this beautiful Christmas tide. We
are all only Insignificant atoms in the
great rushing crowds at ■ this merry
season, but zve are all better, If poorer,
for the return of this glorious festival.
Never outgrow Christmas. Sorrows
and disappointments force their In
sistent way Into every human expe
rience, hut they need not shut us off
from neighborly deeds of love and
kindness. Look back across the years
to the time when nil other days dated
from the Christmases of your childhood,
and turning look hopefully, feurlessly
Into a future that we can safely trust,
into the Imnds of Him who at that
great first Chrlstmns received gifts of
gold, frankincense nnd myrrh.
