I’ve got about all my arms will hold, without taking you aboard,” Stewart warned her aS Janice attempted to throw her arms about him. “Oh, keep quiet! You’re just as excited as I am—so why pretend?” Janice answered with a toss of her head. Stewart put his packages down and then with his arms around her he assured her, “You bet I am, Hon­ ey. I think it is wonderful! S t u- pendous! ’’And just because they were so happy, they both laughed. “Come on—let’s get busy with the tree,’’Stewart sug­ gested. “Righto .’’’agreed Janice, “just as soon as I change my dress.” The tree must be neither to large nor too small. Some time had been consumed de­ ciding just the proper size for a Christmas tree for two. They were to be alone this Christmas—the first Christmas in their new home; there was no doubt about that, for they had definitely decided that when they purchased the house. And now here they were ready to trim the much- discussed tree. “Isn’t that star lovely?” Janice said as Stewart placed it at the top of the tree. “Yes. But I thought you had planned on something else,” Stew­ art replied. “I changed my mind,” was all Janice said. She didn’t tell him she couldn’t think of a Christmas tree without a star at the top. They al­ ways had one on the tree “at home.” “Thought you weren’t going to get any red balls,” she reminded Stew­ art. “I changed my- mind.” Both laughed at Stewart’s echo of Jan­ ice’s answer of a moment before. “Mother would love this silver ball.” Janice hung the ball where it caught the most light.

Bos- sonbevry, who survives, and three years later came East and since that time has made her home in parkhill Surviving are her husband, two sons Harold and John and one grandson, of ParkhlH, Rev. F, L, Lewin con­ ducted the funeral services hold in St, James1 Anglican Church and at the graveside In Grand Bend ceme­ tery where interment was made. “Wouldn’t Bess love this blue ball!” Stewart picked up the large blue globe. “Our dads would enjoy that open fire—and Bill those spruce boughs over- the mantel”—Bill, the older brother of Stewart, loved anything from the woods. And so each thing reminded them of someone’s fondness for it, or of some of the happy times of former holidays. “Well, I guess that’s all for now,” Stewart said when the decoration of the tree was fin­ ished and he and Janice stood ad­ miring it. Janice made no reply to her husband’s re- rpark at first. “All but the pres­ ents,” she Said hesitatingly, “Oh, we can put those out later,” Stewart suggested. “But I mean the ones for the family,” she ex­ plained. “Didn’t you distribute those to­ day?” Stewart asked in surprise. “I thought it would be more fun to take them together.” “Stewart stopped and kissed her. “I think so, too, honey—so let’s go.” “Wait until I get my hat arid coat.” “And I’ll bring the car up to the door,” When Stewart returned to the room Janice was placing packages under the tree. “Janice, doesn’t it Seem to you there is something wrong with the tree?” Stewart asked suddenly. “No.” Janice walked all around the tree, looking at it critically. “No,” she said the second time- then suddenly—“Yes, Stewart, there is something wrong — something missing—the loving sharing of dec­ orating the tree. Our families would so have enjoyed it. We trimmed it just for ourselves. It does seem self­ ish,” Then after a moment’s silence she cried: “I have it! Suppose we leave the presents here -and invite our families here for a good old-fash- ionod Christmas eve celebration. What do you say?” “I say—great! Hare goes,” and Stewart hurried toward the tele­ phone. i James A. Patterson I Clerk of the Board of Health | Mr. J, W. Ortweiji 89 Years Old 1 J. w.

With calm deliberation, he ; put the heavily scrawled letter back into its envelope. “Always the impractical Hal,” he said slowly. “No wonder he never gets anywhere.” A list of appointments waited up­ on his desk. Visits from two of the most important men in town; a delegation about a right-of-way through a tract of land he had just purchased; a reminder of a talk he had promised to make at a lunch­ eon. Important things, he thought, things Hal would never be called upon to do. Hastily he went through his mail. A - square envelope in a familiar hand caught his eye. He opened, it a little curiously. What could Miss Denby be writing him about? His long fingers drew out an artistic Christmas card. A conservative wish and an old Christmas carol printed in English letters, That was all, except the signature, “Eleanor Denby.” A flush stained his face, an un- definable something sent the blood singing through his* veins. “Elea­ nor,” he said softly; “a beautiful name; how queer that I never heard it before.” Then, as if resenting his weak­ ness and sentiment, he dug into his mail again. But try as he would, he could not concentrate on the things that had meant anything to him before. Something had happened to Robert Dutton; a Christmas greeting from a secre­ tary whom he had scarcely noticed left him visibly unsettled. Christmas memories surged through his heart. He was back in the old home again. Everybody was rushing around in circles. He saw the big tree in the corner of the. parlor; the kitchen table piled high with good things to eat. And Moth­ er and Dad, with happiness beam­ ing upon their faces. He picked up Hal’s letter again. After all, maybe his kid brother wasn’t so crazy? The thought was pushing through his mind that may­ be it was he who lacked real sense. This time he read the letter in a “We’re Going to Forget Business for Today,” He Said. different mood. “Let’s give Dad and Mother the surprise of their lives. Let’s go down and make one grand Christmas for them. You can turn everything over to someone else for a week—anyone can handle things like that—there’s nothing personal or precious about them.” “Nothing personal or precious about them!” He turned the words over in his mind, Hal was right. Someone else could handle the things that had seemed so terribly important, A few hours of confu­ sion, perhaps; then things would go on as before. The world would for* j get him in a day. j His fingers reached for the pen upon his desk. “Dear Hal,” he began, “I heartily agree with your , proposal that we get together and ! make plans to give Dad and Mother 1 the biggest surprise and the grand- I est Christmas ever—” He was smil* ' ing broadly, almost laughing aloud, as he finished the letter with a flourish. Five minutes later Miss Denby entered his private office to find a new Robert Dutton. She almost dropped her book in surprise at the expression upon his face, and the new way in which he greeted her. “I’m ready to begin, Mr, Dut­ ton,” she began nervously, when he made no motion to start the routine of the day. “We’re going to forget business for today, Miss Denby, and go Christmas shopping, that is, if you want to help me out.” He fumbled with his tie as he spoke, noticing for the first time the soft curving of her white neck, “Your Christ­ mas card,” he went on, “wrought some miracle. I’ve found out that business and making money aren’t everything in life. They’re both fine in their way, but there are other things, too; precious things that I’ve been overlooking,” He came closer to her side and looked hard into her eyes. “For instance, going shop­ ping with a good-looking and ador* able secretary.” i Making our Society a Suc- Hyinn sung and the Lord’s Dainty by the hearty vote of thanks Hutton by Miss Mabel Carols differ fromChristmas hymns in that the hymn is essential­ ly religious while Carols are a treat­ ment of a religious topic in a stylo familiar and festive, <The word ’car­ ol’ orgiiially meant a dance), # * * Tho well-mannered are polite— even to in’eriors.
