"Margaretl" chided her mother. •
" I invited myself, A surprise . for
you, and then I wanted to talk to your
Dad about something . „ ." Ralph
was awkwardly turning the magazine
is his bands. "jumping fishes!" he' ea-
claimed, ", Look at the little red book!"
He opened it to a centre page, and
read; "The natives of, this sign are
more, than ,likely to have short temp-
efs."
"Give it to met"
Ralph held`" it tantalizingly -out of
reach -and Margaret stamped her foot.
"Ralph Wells," she said, "I come home
for a rest and the first thing YQ4 do is
make fun of me, If. I have a complete
breakdown it's your fault. Give me
that' book!"
"There, there", comforted her moth-
er. "You go upstairs and get washed.
Margaret started up the stairs, then
turned in sudden remembrance. "Are
you staying over Christmas?" she ask-
ed Ralph.
"I had expected to."
"You might as well. There's a dance
Christmas Eve."
At the top of the steps she turned
again. "And don't forget, half of that
pie is mine. After all, I did the coming
home!"
"Okay."
"She's tickled to death to see you,"
whispered Mother Brown cautiously.
She patted his arm, and Ralph under-
stood.
"You'll feel better,"

FUTURE FORETOLD
BY DROWSY HENS
Divinations were air important part
of the Christmas festivities in Czarist
Russia.
After a special family Christmas
dinner, the girls of the household plac-
ed five pile,s of grain upon the kitchen
floor; each pile was given a name, such
as Hope, Ring, -Money, Thread and
Charcoal. A drowsy hen was fetched
from the henhouse and allowed to walk
around the kitchen floor and choose a
pile of grain.
Obviously the hen's choice of /Money
meant wealth; Ring, foretold a wedding
within a year; and Hope, promised the
fulfillment of a wish or a long journey.
If the sleepy chicken chose the grain
designated as Thread, a life of toil was
predicted for the marriageable maiden
of the household; and Charcoal was
considered an omen of death in the
family,
Old, songs were sung to accompany
such goings-on, while the girls and
Women vied to devise complete stories
based on the antics of the hen.

It was three nights 'before Christmas
and Margaret was packing to go home.
Contrary to traditional sentiment, site
was not happy about it, for she had
!planned to stay in New York with
Ralph. With considerable forethought
' • Ishe had even planned the day; church
. in the morning, Christmas dinner with
Amy and Bill, a walk down Fifth aye-
i nye at twilight, a snack of supper, and
the theater.
But Ralph bad been invited to a
"swell house party in Philadelphia.”
Margaret slanuned down the top of her
suitcase. Site could have borne up un-
der a Christmas wilts a lonely mother,
'or a widowed sister,
"What about me?" she had longed
o cry out, but she had, instead, smiled
and said that it was just too marvel-
ous, wondering meanwhile if Mr. johns
son would let her have an extra day
toff. Ralph had only to go to Philadel-
phia two hours away, while site had
no one within 500 milled
•-•I Now site was ready, bag in hand, t; !for the midnight train, As she waited
''t !for the taxicab, she smoothed her black
ii tailored woolen frock over her slim
K hips. If New 'York hadn't been partie A !4,tlarly kind to her, it bad at least taught
pss her how to dress!
I She enuldn't sleep Ott the train. Cloy-
tog her eyes, she saw the cluttered
. desk which she had left.at Roswell's
1 'Advertising agency, mid Mr. Johnston's
kindly face when he had told her to go
home for Cltrietetas. She saw Ralph's
desk in the manager's office, Ralph
idaeciug in Philadelphia, Ralph open-
itig Christmas gifts ----. and just Ralph,
,with w mot site would never" again
share igoild Vines.
There was a three-hoer wait for the
local train at Pittsburgh, but ,Margaret
was too tired and depressed to leave
the station. After buying a magazine
featuring an article on men, and an las-
Arologital delineation of her birthsign,
',she settled herself into the practical ,
taslc of trying to determine her fut..:
are in this most unpredictable world.,
Several hours later, not much wiser
,butt notch more weary, she stood on
the porch of a white frame house.
i The door opened and Margaret -
'blinked,
"I win"! shouted Ralph triumph-
antly, "She came on the midnight
train!"
Mrs. Brown rushed out to the hall-,
way and enfolded her daughter in an
ample, Motherly embrace, "Margaretl
iWity child, you're a sight!. -Your face
il,k,-. is as black as coal,"
‘ Margaret withdrew herself from her
mother's arms and looked at the, two
of them coolly. 'Well, if it isn't asking
too much jest what is This Not
week=end In Phiraffelphia, I believer
Ralph took her bag and reagaeine
