The Original Glockenspiel Originally a glockenspiel was a series of graduated narrow metal plates arranged on a frame so as to produce bell-lik- e tones when struck by a mallet. The glockenspiel is sometimes used in modern orchestras for bell-lik- e effects.

There was a sound of quick stamping and crunching of boots on the scraper. The old servant opened the front door and a man set an enormous package in the hall, said something about the blustering snowstorm and was gone. As the woman carried the package In to Natalie, a chirpy sound of funny little tinkling music issued from the bulky bundle. Her black eyes snapped with delight as she cut the heavy cords. Out tumbled a hobbyhorse, a handsome fellow with a leather bridle; a white, woolly lamb with button eyes and a bell on his neck; a long-earerabbit with a perky tail; and a queer little whimsical top that seemed to laugh with merry music every time it was moved. There was a wispy angora cap just big enough for a baby, and a tiny W'hite muff, oh, so little, of real fur with a tippet to match. All em Chris-ma- s Amanda gasped!

After repeated ringing and pounding, she looked at Bruce in dismay. Her eyes wandered toward the Parker home. Oh, Bruce! I have the keys of the stone house! Lets go over and build a fire; we can at least keep warm until they come. With logs from Harlows woodpile Bruce soon had a roaring fire romping on the hearth.

A tall young man in a big fur coat was waving good-bto someone on the train as it pulled out. In his excitement he took a long, free stride backwards on the platform and crashed into Natalie.

Well put them in the windows. Ho, ho! Whats this? Mistletoe, too!" Heres a footstool, Bruce; tack It on the hall arch."

Dear Natalie, this mistletoe is a symbol of the plighting of loves troth. His voice trembled. There was a moment of silence, a moment of mutual confidence and understanding which had been almost instantaneous. Her blond head rested in the hollow of his shoulder.

There stood Edith, Arnold, little Phillip and reter and tiny Marjorie, looking in wonder, as Natalie and Bruce awkwardly stammered and blushed in confusion.
