Mexican families string their patios with colored lanterns and hang the pinata, a large clay jar shaped like a bird or animal and filled with fruits, nuts and candies purchased at the picturesque Christmas stalls in the markets. The children are blindfolded and armed with long sticks. They reach for the pinata until one child breaks the jar and the sweets tumble out to be shared by all. Despite the various forms of observing the Christmas holidays Middle America is united in its celebration of peace with its bright interdehope for pendence. d though their holiday celebration compares happily and merrily to our own. Picnics and outdoor excursions are traditional events of the day, for Christmas comes in weather there.

Contrary to traditional sentiment, she was not happy about it, for she had planned to stay in New York with Ralph. With consid erable forethought she had even planned the day; church in the. morning, Christmas dinner with Amy and Bill, a walk down Fifth avenue at twilight, a snack of supper, and the theater. But Ralph had been invited to a "swell house party in Philadelphia." Margaret slammed down the top of her suitcase. She could have borne up under a Christmas with a lonely mother, or a widowed sister. "What about me?" she had longed to cry out, but she had instead, smiled and said that it was just too marvelous, wondering meanwhile if Mr. Johnson would let her have an extra day off. Ralph had only to go to Philadelphia, two hours away, while she had no one within 500 miles!

As she waited for the taxicab, she smoothed her black tailored woolen frock over her slim hips. If New York hadn't bean particularly kind to her, it had at least taught her how to dress! She couldn't sleep on the train. Closing her eyes, she saw the cluttered desk which she had left at Roswell's Advertising agency, and Mr. Johnston's kindly face when he had told her to go home for Christmas. She saw Ralph's desk in the manager's office, Ralph dancing in Philadelphia, Ralph opening Christmas and just Ralph, gifts with whom she would never again share good times. There was a three-hou- r wait lor the local train at Pittsbureh. but Margaret was too tired and de pressed to leave the station. After buying a magazine featurine an article on men, and an astrological delineation of her blrthsign, she settled herself into the practical task of trying to determine her future in tnis most unpredictable world.

He opened it to a center page, and read: "The natives of this sign are more than likely to have short tempers." "Give it to me!" Ralph held it tantalizlngly out of reach and Margaret stamped her foot. "Ralph Wells," she said, "I come home for a rest and the first thing you do is make fun of me. U I have a complete breakdown it's your fault. Give me that book!" 'There, there," comforted her mother. "You go upstairs and get washed. You'll feel better." Margaret started up the stairs, then turned In sudden remembrance. "Are you staying over Christmas?" she asked Ralph. "I had expected to." "You might as well. There's dance Christmas Eve." At the top of the steps she turned again. "And don't forget, hatf of that pie Is mine. After all, I did the coming home!" "Okay."
