Stat (Qitrr A fear.... "Thank goodness/’ said Martha Goodwin, bustling about the kitchen "Christmas comes but once a year/’ She wiped back a loose wisp of her graying hah’ with a weary gesture. "But it will be fine seeing you again, Lad/’ she murmured, thinking of her distant son. Those star cookies of—’’ She glanced clock. Loud shrieks of ‘Now, let’s see. you’re so fond at the hurrying laughter under her window interrupted her' thou­ ghts, Those new neighbor children again. If they were dirtying up her freshly swept walk! She strode grimly to the porch. There waB a path in the snow from her yard, around hers, and back again to their own, where all four of them had trudged, pushing-a snow ball, across her walk in two places. A tussel started suddenly, and they were all' tumbling about in the snow, shriek­ ing at the top of their voices. Martha scolded shrilly at them, and they stood up, an abashed little line of stair steps. "The idea! On Christmas, too!” Martha chided. "Whatevei' is the matter with your ma, that racket!” "She’s girl. "Sick! why you on you,” statutes. Martha tucked in the wisp of hair "You children come in here and sit still while I work, and I’ll tell you a story.” she invited. "Mind you wipe your feet.” “I suppose it should be a Christ­ mas story,” Martha began. "Do you konw about the shepherds and the wise men?” '"Yes’m,” they chorused. We go to Sunday School,” added the oldest girl. "Then,” Martha asked her, "shall I tell you about Santa Claus?” , Her face clouded a little "Mother told us that,” she answered sober­ ly. "iOh,” said Martha. She dusted the flour from her hands and turn­ ed to baste the turkey. Four pairs of eager eyes watched her every move. The doorbell rang. "Laddie! 'Good heavens.” Martha, slipping off rushed to the door. But instead it was “Awfully sorry I just can’t get away stop Do try to have a Merry Christmas stop Go on a spree and I’ll foot the bill stop Expect to be able to get down for New Year’s and will explain everything then Love Laddie.” Martha Goodwin read it twee. Then she smoothed the straying wisp of hair and went back to the kitchen. “Well,” the older girl was explain­ ing "it’s sort of like a chicken, 1 guess, only ever so much bigger.” The four children looked up as Mar­ tha entered. "Why, what’s the matter, Mrs. Goodwin?” "My son—I was expecSing him— he isn’t coming.” "Gee,” came a sympathetic chor­ us. "And you’d fixed everything so nice and—and Christmassy.” "I’m not going to have it spoiled/ Martha decided. "Here,” she said and draped the holly wreath over the youngster’s arm. "You,” she said to the next one, "carry the po­ tatoes, and you take the mince pie— careful, it’s hot—and you,” to the eldest, ‘take the vegetables. I think I can manage the turkey.” "But where are we going?” "Over to your house. Weren’t you about to miss ollt on Christmas din­ ner?” "Dinner first, then presents,” she suggested, and when having eaten all they could hold, they gathered about the holly, she found a crude­ ly wrapped present for herself. It was a picture scrapbook, somewhat smudged. ' Were those tears in Martha Good­ win’s eyes? Surely not, for she was smiling. "Why, thank you,” she exclaimed “Such a lovely surprise. My,” she added, "I wish Christmas came more than once a year.” CLANDEBOYE Mr, and Mrs. James Paton spent Saturday in London. Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan Bevington are all smiles. It’s a girl. Mrs. M.
