Mother's
Christmas
By ETHEL COOK ELIOT ^

We go back to the
farm."
"Yours must be quite a family now,
with all the children. Bqt I suppose
your mother gets in extra help, and
you all help, too."
It was not impertinent, because it
was my best friend speaking. She is
just frank and sincere. She had
dropped Into my office after hours, not
le buy insurance from me (yea, I am
8 female Insurance agent and not a
failure at it either I) but to say "good
by" before herself leaving the city for
the holidays.
"No, there's no extra help to be
gotten these days In the country any
more than here. Not any that's worth
while. So mother does It all herself.
But she likes It. Christmas only
comes once a year."
We said no more about that, but
after my friend bad gone I remem
bered her clear, frank eyes and the
way they had received my reply. They
had been slightly skeptical. I couldn't
j gat that skepticism out of my mind.
The result was that, after much
thought, I suddenly closed office a
whole week before Christmas, prac
tically kidnaped my youngest sister
away from her home in a nearby
city—that comfortable home with Its
full nursery, cook and nurse girl—and
whisked her away to the country to
give mother a little surprise.
At first I thought the surprise was
to turn out an unpleasant one. We
arrived in the early afternoon with
out warning. There was mother in a
huge apron, her hair tied up In a
towel, the front hall full of brooms
and mops, honsecleanlng. Ehe could

said. "We didn't want 70 a to do all
this 'fixing' alone. We're come to
fix for ourselves, and the horde that
follows on Christmas Eve." -
Well, at first mother simply wouldn't
bear of It We were to be company
and just wait till she got the rooms
we were to occupy aired and made up.
Since we were all there, well we must
stay. But we shouldn't drudge. She
guessed we worked hard enough, each
at our own particular kind of work,
all the year, not to have to work when
we came home.
. We wouldn't listen. We bad come
for one thing. We laughingly over
bore her In all her objections.
More than that, we called father
In from the bam and got him to
bundle mother up and take her off
for a sleigh ride. "A sleigh ride!
Who ever beard of a sleigh ride and all
the parlor furniture In the hall wait
ing for the parlor to be cleaned!"
Well, mother heard of a sleigh ride,
and under just these conditions now.
She heard of it from her two strong
minded daughters, her youngest and
her oldest. Father caught our spirit
at once and bustled her%way. How
merrily the bells jingled as they
whirled away through the snow!
Now for it! Marge ant} I tucked
up our skirts, draped ourselves In big
aprons and wound towels abont our
beads, and fell to. It was hard work,
but what a lark we made of It And
we bad a good supper waiting for
mother and father when they got back.
And every day that week we did

"My," cried Brother-in-law Jim,
Nell's husband, "but you've lost tea
years, mother I Euch bright eyes and
pink cheeks I've never seen."
Marge and I, in the dark«- back
ground, nudged each other and giggled.
All the others cried the same thing.
It was true enough, too. This was a
different mother from the rather
weary old woman we were accustomed
to meeting at holidays here In tha
open door. - £.
Father spoke up : "You're dead
right, children." he said. "Your mother
looks tike this all the year except at
holiday time. Then she just slave»
getting ready for you and sort of gets
worn out. This year was different.
This year she went honeymooning

Marge and I came forth from bid
ing. "Yes, and hereafter la always to
be different," we promised.
And how It paid ! We'd gotten Into
the way of thinking mother was an
old woman. Now we saw her as her
neighbors and father saw her—hearty
