The publlo wympathy. wo feel sure, will lie
given to Mr. Ionising In a very cousldcrnhlo de

tho clrciiiimtances of the cnM tho possible lr
regularity of the method chosen for bringing
about cabinet conferences might with great
propriety have been overlooked by tho presl

cause of tlio rupture, aro matters which mint

We had another trip and I' had
finished my rtlvopplng at HUnbel's.
Peggy- and Holen bought their gifts
at different shopa, but I had to havo
everything charged, and Blmbel'a
wuh the only place I ihud an account.
I would haw lieon frightened to
buy thero had It not boon for their
advertisement wiylng tho bills would
not be rendered unlll February flrat.
Hy that tlmo pomolhlng wan suro
to happen so I' could pay them.
Yet when tho goods came and I
figured up w-hut 1 had spent, tt was
really more than I had plnnned It
would be. Isn't It always that way?
I know 'It wan with me. I "would
start out wltih tho bet Intentions in
tho world; would resolve to bo eco
nomical, etc.. und yet I always
spent moro than I should.
I had bought a reading lamp for
Tom, some silk stockings for Holen
Und Peggy, several things for the
baby, a loo-k for Walter, and some
gloves and .handkerchiefs for Norah.
Then I had remembered Tom's
mo-thcr, mv own father and mother,
two or three of tho elrlw who u I ways
sent inn something and to whom I
felt, I musv, send presenW bceauso
of that. It doesn't sound like much
of a llHt.ibut I counted up tho sales
sHpn and my bill had been Increased
by J30. 1 had wanted somo "other
things; but now I was thankful I
hnd not purchased them. .
Tom had sent up a tree, and he
anil Peggy and I wprn trimming It
when WaHor ami Holen ennm In,
They had Uhelr arms full of bundles
ail w-rap-pett In tuwue paper anil
Christmas ribbons, A present fqr
each of n. even Peggy AVo wero
not lo open them until later In the
evening.

"I wlnh they hadnt done thatl"
Tom crumbled, when they had gone
"We havo niado no preparation for
them, and it makes me feel tmiall
nnd mean."
"I havo a look for Walter and a

him, "and Peggy bought them n

I don't want and I'll glvo you some
thing I can't afford. That's about
all It amounts to.''
"Oh, how lovely the tree looks!
l'eggy exclaimed, an she brought out
several packages beautifully
wrapped. "Where shall I put
these?" 1 '
Torn took' them front J?hor then
theyMvont nut li,.the kitchen to pop
corn. Norah gave tho baby his
supper nnd I put him to bed early.
Ho was to have his presents, nnd
nee tho tree In tho morning. We
strune somo lot tho popcorn, nnd
then mnde paper .cornucopias of
gully colored paper land filled them
with tho corn and lhard candies.
When wo finished it was dinner
time. The tree looked lovely; and
while tired. I was glad I Had asKea
Walter and'Helon to come In after
jlltner. We would distribute the
presents anu inen pmy nriuge or
something to pass thn evening. I
tiad suggested a play", but Tom hud
said ho couldn t afford It.
I did not caro.very much about It
anyway. Wo wore to go on a real
party the next night. Dinner, out
in tho country dancing, and a good
time generally. Kvcrett Crandell
had Invited Tom, Peggy and me to
be his guents for the evening.

" It was about half past olgnt when
Helen ami Walter came lu. Toni
llg'hted the tree, and wo pretended
ho wan Hant.i Clans, and made him
make, a "spoech with each gift he
handed to us. Tom was very witty
and ho kept ua roaring wth laugh

l'eggy had given mo tlho dearest

design In beads. Thn very latest
Idea tn ivalstH. I was delighted with
It. She had given Tom a now p.itr
of slippers nnd pipe; and the baby a

given Tom nnd mo a set of O. Hen

etbook. The baby hnd nlcturo
