Every year since we were married, my wife and I have bundled ourselves up in warm togs and gone out a day or two before Christmas and gathered armfuls of spruce and hemlock branches, sprays of ground pine, and occasionally some mistletoe, though this Is rare in our part of the country. coun-try. "After the children came, this excursion ex-cursion into the woods became ai much a part of Christmas as the tree, the stockings, and the dinner. When we were living out in the suburbs, near the open woods, we used to go out and chop down our own Christmas Christ-mas tree and bring it home on a low sledge. "Then the time came when we had to move into town, because of my having a good deal of night work, and it took too long to get way out inip the country late at night. We couldn't bring home our own Christmas Christ-mas tree any more, of course, but we could, and did, take a whole day to go out and get our Christmas greens, and we do it every year. If the weather is open and there isn't too much snow, we take the car and drive out to the woods, "If there is a great deal of snow and it is impossible to take the car out, we go on the train to a convenient con-venient country station, get off and tramp through th woods, and collect col-lect our Christmas decorations.

As I was taking two of my daintiest hand-embroidered towels from the linen chest, it occurred to me to ask my husband Just how his sister Willa looked, since I had never seen her, and was going to all the trouble of arranging theater, bridge, and dancing parties for her during her Christmas visit with us. "Well," Charles had hesitated, "I told you once that she was a 'home girt' and old-fashioned." "Cut that's very indefinite," I had replied. ,"IIow tall is she?" "Oh-a, she's about five feet, six about your height, and has long, red hair I suppose it's still long, and she's- rather fat, and" "Fat," I had gasped, "your sister fat." And then I had visions of Raymond Ray-mond Garfield's expression when he should see standing under the mistletoe, mistle-toe, this old-fashioned, fat, red headed girl who was to be his partner at all of t!oe parties. "Surely, Charles, you don't remember remem-ber well!" "Yes, she Is fat," Charles went on, "and although she has money from four years of teaching, she always wears a faded blue serge suit with a belt, and" The doorbell s ringing Interrupted him.

I could spend part of the time on the train addressing cards, I couldn't possibly miss her the fat, red-headed school teacher in faded blue serge with a belt, I thought as I settled in my seat. I stepped from the train conscious of the patronizing attitode I had assumed, as-sumed, but nowhere could I see anyone any-one answering Willa's description.

"Step aside please, Madam, you are holding up the line," politely requested request-ed the cashier as a stylish, tall blonde took my place, and before my dismayed dis-mayed eyes took out a pen exactly like mine. I remembered Charles bad once told me that often thieves were better dressed nowadays than others. "She easily could have picked my pocket while we were standing in line," I reasoned. Hence, convinced that she had my pen, I demanded that the cashier examine the pen and see if It had my monogram, "W.

Then hiding my true thoughts, I hastened to greet her, explaining: Tin Wilica Woodrow, Charles' wife." I wrote my check while Willa put things back Into my pockets, and we walked from the store together.

"In 1900 our bank ruptcies totaled about 6,000, about the same number that occurred in Eng land and France. During the past year we had more than 20,000 bank ruptcles, more than twice as many os England and France combined.
