Great fan seeing each other again and exchanging news 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.

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.

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 with me Instead." 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 bright-eyed, carefree "My, tt seams good to be eating otter's cooking," escaped bar that night, over Marge's apple tarts.
