aught him at the corners but le
,hurried across to the next curb in-
trent on his mental shopping.
He was thinking hard of Cora,
too. Though not a word had been
poken between them on the sub-
ect, it was quite understood that
ihe should buy her warm gloves, a
warm sweater and stockings for
Christmas. He'd saved a fair
*amount for this very purpose.
When you gave up your city living
rfer the country, you thought in
iterms of wool. Cora needed all
hese things. Her gloves were
,worn down to thin spots. Her
veater had been mended a good
many times and her stockings--
well, Cora just taughed about them.
Cora would. She had made fun
every hard thing about changing
their home. from the dreadful
wheezy pump in the kitchen, to the
way the floors slanted in the bed-
rooms, so that no pencil would stay
en a table, and books continually
slid off on the floor. Cora was a
thoroughbred and a good sport.
Sam looked at a green sweater.
{That would be becoming to Cora's
light curls. O that cheerful red
ne, Nice on snowy winter morn-
ngs. The very chickadees would
ng with pleasure at sight of her
in that sweater. He took a few
steps toward the shop door when
his eye fell on a black-and-yellow
silk kimono.
Of course he would not get it;
lust inquire the price so that he
might look at it.
' The moment Sam touched a
1 heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, [amiliar carols pluy,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good.will to men[
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
HKd rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good.will to men!
Till, ringing, swinging on its way,
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good.will to men!
Then ?rein each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-wiH to menl
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth.stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The houzehaldJ born
Of peace on earth, good.will to men!
And in despair 1 bowed my head:
"There is no peace on rth," 1 said;
"For hate is strong
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good.will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep,
"God is not dead: nor doth He sleepl
The Wrong shall fail,
The Rieht pr,il,
With peace on earth, good.wiU to menr'
--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

at the small bedroom with its south-

Three baseball bats were stacked
with a fishing rod in the corner. A
battered red cap with a letter on it
lay on the bed. And through the be d ,

garet saw another bed, smaller, and
with high slatted sides.
She put the vacuum cleaner away
and went down to her desk in the
sitting-room. She took the fifteen
dollars rent that the new lodger had
paid that morning in advance for the
room, and added to it, from her
purse, three dollars and seventy-five
cents more. Then she drew out a
sheet of paper and began to write on
it, slowly, gravely.

After dinner he came close to
Cora muttering something about a
gift, and how dazned sorry he was
• . . and please, please not to look
at him so sweetly.
Cora unwrapped the'bundle. Sam
waited. The lovely shining thing
fell to the floor with the lights
gleaming on it.
"Oh . . . oh . . . ! I never in
#all my life saw anything so magnifi-
cent! For me? Surely, surely not for
me, Sam? But how rd adore tti

crossly,
Cora flung on the robe, and threw
her arms around Sam's neck. "I

dead set on warm things . . . a
whole box came this afternoon

Sam sank weakly into a chair.
"'You're so lovely I want to kiss
yo, very hard."

kimono. "rhis is simply the most

SAN FRANCISCO.--Anything can
happen during the Christmas rusb
in the department stores here. A re-
cent trip by a reporter to the store
in search of a story was the cause
of him being shunted off to the "Lost
and Found Department."
There he found a story. Besides
being true, it also was interesting
in that it gave a slant on the state
of shoppers' minds during the rush
when presents have to be purchased
for those almost forgotten.
Gloves, said the lady in charge,
are objects that shoppers seem to
leave most on counters and floors el
the store. Each day at least a bag.
ful of gloves, singles most of the
time, are turned in to the lost and
found department. Considering the
number of single gloves lost, the
woman suggested that gloves should
be sold in three's.
Animals are also turned in to the
lost and found. Also such pets as
canaries, turtles and goldfish. Par-
ents buy pets for their children a!
Christmas time and then, because
of the difficulty in carrying them, in
holding them when making change,
set them down somewhere and also
forget to pick them up when off in
search for another bargain.
False teeth are also forgotten by
the harried shoppers, Most of the
times the teeth are turned in from
the store's tearoom, the telephone
booths, or the restrooms.
The military poa'tion of the UniV-
d Nations is showng such steady
improvement that Argentina may
hop off the fence any day now.
American Spirit Is Noted
In Tots' Homemade Toys
With a typical American wartime
spirit, the people of the nation have
started to manufacture many of
their own Christmas toys.
For instance, in those shops where
bits of wood are left from repair
work, such lumber remnants can
be used for the building of toys.
Smoothly sawed off pieces make fine
building blocks.
Spools and wooden cigar ooxes
come in for use as toys, too. The
boxes can be made into trains, and
spools can be used as wheels for
them. Spools can even be strung
together for beads, or lir.ed up for
imitation trains to be drawn along
the floor by the baby.
Few problems are capable of solu-
tion in mass-meetings. Harangues
seldom do more than stir emotion.
