In the second place th doorbell may announce the arrival o a package. / A sawed-off express wagon driver i with a chunky, holly-bound packag under his arm, can get more attentioi on Christmas day than the governor o the state, surrounded by his militar; v staff and preceded by a Chinese or chestra, playing "Tippelaly."

Once we gave our old Unci Peters one of those costly nicotin reefers. It had blue satin cuffs and braided collar. The coat was held t< gether not by buttons but by gol( Hps, J ? braid knots. The garment made a hi with Uncle Peters, but not the knots. For years his smoking jacket ha been a flannel undershirt, gracefull decorated with suspenders.

If anybody beats her ? to the knob, it is not her fault, as she t- slid down the banister and took, a Ays'' ing leap, which was the best she. could do without breaking bones.

Some^ e times, though not very often, the bell f ring announces a neatly wrapped wedding ring. \ The Christmas telephone bell is an e important feature of the Yuletide. It a rings Christmas tidings which formerf ly were sent on decorative cards, p which, with their imitation snow, made handy match scratchers. The Christmas dinner bell?one at a r time, please.

They told him he .1 mustn't smoke that vulgar, shocking old pipe while wearing the lovely cl jacket. Everybody thought he was i. cured of the deadly corncob. He quit t. smoking the pipe, and instead brought t home a bale of cigars. 5- He made a handsome figure, wear ing the braided smoking jacket, and e puffing a cigar with a gilt band around e it. We left him, smoking happily by the stove. In one hour we returned. ;s Uncle Peters was still consuming g cigars. On the floor lay the family e cat. It did not raise its head at our e footsteps. It would never look up a again. The picture frames on the > walls had turned green. I- Uncle Peters denied that his Flor de it Mule Ear segars had killed the cat. He insisted she had rolled over after d taking: one sauint at the smoking y ! jacket. 3- ; Useful gifts often \ have .a way of a making themselves useful when you a least expect it.
