She made looms with empty spools and pins, from which each child helped to make a rounds string which they worked on at odd moments. They were to be sewed on the mittens. No more hunting for the other mitten." The children were entertained with the Idea of being useful and of helping Aunt Judith. The sisters looked up discarded dolls and sewed up legs and arms, painted the faces and restored tho hair. Entire outfits of clothes that could be taken off and put on were made from hits of doth found In the scrap hag, and they eroeheted lace enough for the trimming. These were for the two little girls, Martha and Peggy, aged seven and nine. IIow to make Ralph s was the problem. happy with Then Judith remembered that years ago she had been the recipient of a stamp book which she had not used. She wrote her father for it, and then invested In some mixed stamps for Ralph to make a beginning with. A few new puzzles and toys from the store made a goodly array of bright things for Tommy, who wusjhe youngest child. "Now for the dinner, said Judith. Lets not try to have the usual Christmas dinner but think up something different. I did so want to ask Mr. and Mrs. Lambert. sighed Anne. "They came from England several years ago, and are so alone at Christmas time. I had hoped to have them, but of course 1 cannot do it this year. That gives me the very Idea, Anne. Well Invite them and surprise them with a regular English dinner roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and gravy, and have .pudding for dessert. x The days flew by with the sisters as busy ns bees. Anne was never happier in all her life. She had not time for repining, and found that by simply making the best of everything she had no real troubles at all. Henry, too, caught the spirit of hope, and remarked to his wife: It wont be long until we have made tip for lost time, and I like my new position better than the old one, because It has more of a future to It. The Lamberts were delighted with the invitation, as they were expecting a lonely day, far away from Merrie England. One day, when Judith came in from shopping, Anne met her with the news : A nephew, John Leigh, has surprised the Lamberts. He has seen service in France, and is sent here by the British government on a mission to Washington. He has a weeks vacation and has come to spend It with them. I Insisted that he come to our Christmas dinner, and they are all going to call tonight. How Interesting, exclaimed Judith. Perhaps he can advise me about my Red Cross work. Everyone was delighted to meet the handsome young soldier and eager to hear stories of over there from one who knew. John became great help to Judith with her plans for the childrens Christmas and her Red Cross work. In fact, he thought of so many things that he came to tile Mldgelys at least once a day and every evening. He trimmed the tree while Judith made the simple things to adorn It. One evening Mrs. Mldgely remarked to her husband : I never saw a young man so Interested In children. He looked up from his paper In My dear, do you amused surprise. really think he is Interested only In the children? "John, you dont mean Judith? Certainly. It has been evident from the first." Christmas arrived a glorious day, with snow on the ground. The children had hung up their stockings. Into the bottom of each had been placed the bright new cap and mittens, and a gay bag of candy on top, while the other gifts were grouped about the tree. After the successful dinner was eaten they spent the evening In singing carols. John had a good tenor voice and Judith accompanied him on the piano. Then he sang military songs he had learned In the trenches. The guests took their departure, vowing It the happiest Christmas of all. Mrs. Mldgely turned to her sister. "Only think, Judith, I was afraid you would have a dull time. The children have missed nothing, and you have been an angel of mercy I "Happiness has nothing to do with the possession of things," smiled Judith ; it Is all a state of mind.

All It Is curious that the name London more generally known the world over than the name England Is. In commercial circles London stands for most articles of English manufacture. In all the East It represents a nation. The author of Under the Red Orescent," who was a surgeon of the Turkish army in 1877, found that in the near East, no farther away than Bulgaria, London served to Identify Is It did ?en more than that conversational way, as he tells us in his book. My first landlord who was landlord in name only, for of course I never paid him any rent was a Bulgarian, he says, and his daughter was one of the few pretty women that I ever saw in Bulgaria. Conversation with her, however, was restricted by our Ignorance of each others language, for I knew scarcely any Bulgarian, and the only word of English that she could say was London. Whenever I saw that girl she would show her white teeth with a charming smile, flash her big, black eyes, and with beautiful Irrelevance ejaculate: him. in a "London !

When she said London with a bright air of welcome and a frank smile as I came home at night tired out with my days work, I knew that she meant Good evening, doctor! I hope you havent had a very hard day today; and see, here Is your toast and coffee ready. When she uttered the word with a backward turn of the head and with a pretty glance as she passed out of the door, It was very evident that she was really saying: Good night now, doctor! Pleasant dreams to you, and I hope a Russian shell wont find you in the morning. Youths Companion.

To think of Christmas only three weeks away, and not one gift for the children and no hope of getting any. I am glad they are at school ; I can at least have good cry! Just ns she was getting out her handkerchief preparatory to enjoying this s unusual luxury she heard the stop on the porch. Habit forced her to gulp back the tears and go to the door. He handed her several letters, all of which she recognized ns bills, with the exception of one, which lore the handwriting of her sister ' Judith. Anne, dear, she wrote. at last I can visit you, and shall be with you in n few days. Oh, dear! Oh, dear! To think of Judith visiting us at a time like this, when we can hardly manage, with the high cost oi living, to set the table, let alone having a holiday time! Mrs. Mldgely Indulged in the desired cry, then, realizing there was much to be done, she dried her eyes, and with the relief that the shedding of tears gave her, she started In to put the house in order. At least well be clean, she said to herself, as she made broom and duster fly about. Some months before this time Henry Mldgely had lost his position as bookkeeper on account of the failure of the firm for which he worked. They had had no Idea of Impending conditions and were almost staggered by the blow. The Mldgelys had four growing children and every month had lived up Mr. Mldgely had just to the salary. found another position. When Anne wrote home she did not tell her family of their loss, and she bravely set herself the task of making up for the months when debts had accumulated. Christmas That was the hard part. Nothing for the children They had had such jolly times before, with presents for everyone. Now she had more work than ever to do and less time for making presents, even If she had the money with which to buy material.

Mrs. Mldgelys voice had a strange note In It Judith looked up quickly. You dont look well, -- Anne. What Is the matter? Poor Anne let the floodgates of her tears open and told Judith her troubles. Its only that we dont want you to have a stupid time, Judith." Never mind about me, answered I am wildly happy just to be Judith. with here you all. But I am glad you told me." The children were delighted to have their aunt with them. They had often visited the pleasant old white house that had been their mothers home, and it was a happy party that surrounded the dinner table that night. Mrs. Mldgely, too, almost forgot to be worried as she smiled at her sisters high spirits. Next morning after Judith had kissed the four children as they left for school, she turned to her sister and long-deferre- d said: dear, we must take an inof stock and see what we can ventory make for the kidlets for Christmas."

They didnt make funny little squealing, barking sounds like the little dogs, because, of course, they were too big to do such things. One was named Searchlight, another Highlander, another Boy, one Lovelace, another Delight, and another Emergency, which meant that that dog was always on hand when he was needed. One was named Alabama because his home was In Alabama ; another was named March, another Portia, and the last of the St. Bernard dogs was black-and-whi- s, black-and-ta- n ! imed Boy Blue.
