A CHRISTMAS
A LA MODE.
IT was Rose Marie who. marking
the day of my last visit on the
calendar, made the discovery
that 1 was to belong to father on
Christmas day.
This may sound a bit confusing, for
most llttl? girls belong equally to their
parents, but I, Wlllette Warrington,
doo't Ever since I can remember
mother has lived In our nlc? apart
ment In Central Park West, and fa
ther has lived down In the Fifties,
Just off the avenue. And 1 belong to
mother year lu and year out, except
ing three days in each month, and for
these three days I belong to father.
When Rose Marie made the discov
ery that my next visit to Fifty-some
thing street would fall upoD the 25tb
of December she was quite ready to
cry her little black eyes out
Father sent the brougham on the
morning of the 24th.
"Blllle. BIJIle, dear!" cried mother,
clasping me tightly In her arms when
sbe caught sight of the carriage which
was to take me away.,
"Don't you want me to go, mother?"
I asked a little unsteadily.
"Want you to go!" she cried. Then
she hesitated and added, very calm
and self |iossessed: "Of course I al
ways want you with me. Blllle. dear
but then so does your father want you.
and for the next three days you be
long to him. So I want you to go."
"But now? and tomorrow Christmas
day! Oh. mother, won't I see you t*
morrow? won't I see you on Christmas
day?" I cried, clinging fast to her
pretty gown
"I'm afraid not. sweetheart." she
Mid geutly.
"But I want yon? 1 want yon. moth
er. on Christmas day of all days In the
year." I sr.ld.
"But don't you want your father, '
too. BllUe. dear?" she asked. "Oh. 1 j
know you do? you must! So run
along, dear little girl. run-quickly!"
She let me go nDd pushed me gently
from her. and I knew by the smile In
her big brown eye* that the tears |
were very near.
Father was waiting for me on the '
steps of the Cordova, and when be
saw the brougham halt under the '
marquise and Just one little girl step
out bis face went all a-grln. and be
picked me up and kissed me.
"Well. well, well! Where's Rose
Marie?" he asked, and then I told him
she had stopped at home.
I wish you could see father's rooms
In the Cordova. They are ever ?o nice,
with dark walls and gay rugs and big,
substantial looking furniture. There's
an open fireplace and a bilge old settle
with no end of rod cnsbons in bis den.
and It Is bore we sit of an evening,
side by side, and talk until bedtime.
After we had gone up in the elevator
to father's apartment he turned to me
and asked me about the dav's pro
(tram
"I'd like to go down to the shops aft
er luncheoo." I told blm promptly.
"Ciood! Jo'ly! And suppose we go
down to one of the more quiet of the
big hotels and luncb there," be said.
He always does think of the very '
nicest things! A big hotel downtowt.!
After luncheon we entered our han
aom again and were driven away to
one of the big shops, where, as father
put it, one can buy everything from a
collar button to a stenm launch. Kos?
Marie sa.va men do not like shopping,
but then. Hose Marie doesn't know
everything In the world, and father
and 1 had a beautiful time. We
bought all sorts of gifts for Just every- !
body, and father didn't look while I
selected bis present, and I didn't look
while he selected mine.
I "Now," 1 said, as we came out of j
the department store, "I want to buy
mother's gift"
"Why, of course," snld father hnr- ;
riediy. "What do yon want? Where
do you want to go? I'll tell the cab
by."
"I haven't decided what to get" I
said slowly "What do yon think?
Can't yon suggest something, fatherf
He shook his head. "I'm afraid I
can't Blllle," he told me quietly. "Gel
?OH, MOTHER." I SHOCTKD.
whatever you think y oar mother wtli
like. I know she will appreciate It all
the more tf you select It yonraelf."
Ue put me In the hansom and, jump
ing Id hlmoeir. told the man to drirt
slowly op the atenue. Tbli would
give me time to d?clde upon the pre*
cut and where It ? boo Id be purchaaed.
I was wavering between a set of allver
for ber Antoinette desk aod a pair of
greeo majolica Jars for ber favorite
dwarf pities when our nanaom waa
caught Id a block.
Directly abreast of our tuoaom waa
another one. oun? going north, oor
neighbor's coming south, and aa 1 turn
ed m.v bend I looked straight tnfo moth
er's eyes: She wns the sole occopant
of the sohth coming cab.
"Mother!" I shouted. "Oh. mother,
mother!"
-Bnirer ahe cried. We hud both im I
each other together, Jnitt aa we alway* I
aee everything together.
"What Is the triable?" t*?gan father
when he, too. turned his bend and
looked Into mother'* lovely eye*.
"How -de-do. Will 7~ she Mid softly.
I saw father clinch hi* band* tightly,
then. "How-de-do, Nell?" be returned. I
"Awful block. Isn't UT"
"Oh. very bad!" said mother, but she
was looking at me sitting so proudly '
at father's side, and presently I caught
the suspicion of a tear In ber eye*. Di
rectly a big lump came In my throat i
I saw how It wan. Mother wa* think- j
Ing of Chrtstma* and of ber little girl,
and I wa* sorry, sorry for ber and for
father too. The surface car* banged
their bells, the policemen shouted and
the cabbies swore. And all the while
our bansom was Jammed tightly next
to mother's, and we sat staring straight
at each other and saying not a word.
Just then a policeman came up to
mother's hansom and shouted to tba
cabby. It seemed that the left wheel
of mother's hansom wa* locked In the
right wheel of another carriage In such
a way as to render It unsafe to pull
out The policeman, who of cooraa
knew nothing of our afTalra, said:
"Step across Into the bansom next to
you, ma'am. Its wheels ire safe, and
I'm thinking th?> line will be moTlng
north first"
Poor mother flashed cruelly and aald
not a word, but Juat eat there looking
with pleading ejea at father. But fa
ther didn't more, and neither did be
speak, so I took the situation In my
two small hands and said:
"Father, won't you help mother Into
our cab?"
Directly I spolte to father he waa all
attention aud politeness. He stood up
and held out his hand to mother and
carefully helped her acroaa Into our
hansom. I believe mother would never
have come only she knew that a great
many persona had hoard me and were
watching tia. and so she yielded grace
fully. as mother alone can.
When she wax In our cab and sitting
down with me squeeied In between
father and herself, she raited ber eyea
and said quietly:
"Thank you. WIIL"
A moment later the line started,
slowly moving northward, and our
hansom went with the other*, father
aud mother and I were sitting side by
side. It sceuii>d so good Just to think :
of It. although I knew It all came of
an accident alone.
After we had gone two block* up
town. father spoke? very quietly and
with tightly pressed llpa.
"I'll speak to the man and tell htm
to stop at tike next comer. Then I'll
get out and yon and Itillle can have the
cab to yourselrea."
"There Is no need for you to get out
Will," mother told him quickly. "It la
I who am the Intruder Have him atop,
please, and I will And another ban
sum." I
"1 wouldn't bar* .too do that for tht
fWrld" fie r*tnrr>?d "1 ?h*ll leave jtoo
at the next corner: that la nettled."
Mother put out her hand and let |r
reat lightly on father* arm
"Will." "he cried pi.ine don't make

Trade At Home
V T is a hard thing to convince tome people, who have acquired the
* mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue against.mail order busine?*
