Tell me how many, glasses did you find? 4 “There are still six of my good onés in the china closet, and the rest T hope to find scattered over the house. Every one of us hus to have ay glasay oF water ut bed time, and no one would ever think of taking other than, the best to his room.

Mrs: Biliott and Mary Ann started arm in afm for the dining room, Mary ‘on remarking that to start planning a dinner one really had to have a - nen “Oh, F don’t have to bother with.that.” réplied Mrs. Eiiott, opening’ her desk and finding a slip of paper she waved it at Mary Ann. “See this? This is Janie’s contribution. She said, ‘now mother dear, there is one thing [can do, so please let me. I can work out the menu.for Ts and other things the market, even if | won't have time to help much with the baking and that part.’ She said that she waated a perfectly simple old: shioned dinner that wouldn’t be to awfully much work to ,prepare, so that we would enjoy it too, and not be all worn out getting it. [ told her you would be over soon, so she made us a rough outline, last night. You see she hasn’t decided yet on whether we will have oysters or grape peruit cocktails, but we will need the cocktail glasses at any rate.” / “Phere they are hiding. I can see them on the shelf away back,” eyied Mary. Ann. “Let's: get ‘them right down and arrange them on the ta 'Yhey. will have to be washed, anyway.” ' the long table \ wait a minnte.” replied Mrs. ElNott, “I'm getting ov cloth.

They can’t have -been sealed carefully.” } rs. ENiott’s hands were busy as she Went on talking, ands Mary Ann imed in delight, when she shook out the lovely Madeira center-piece. “Oh” she protested, “don't use that. You remember we had our minds all set on holly heaped about a little tree for the center of the table, amt that pretty thing might get stained. Do put it away. And before you fo: gct it, what about oyster forks, and_if, I use these bread and butter’ plates ander the cogktail glasses, what shall we, do, forsbread and Quitters?” i exc! Mrs. Elliott laughed her jolly andyinfectious laugh. “Aren't we Navini t time?” she said, “just.a fussing and a planning over this precious ‘, There, I'll, set your mind at rest at once. Mother !lliott is. comimg, yster forks,.and Jane is stopping to dinner? over tomorrow, with the lend of her “So it is.” said Mary Ann, “and next comes the’ soup off, I can view the soup plates, all neatly but firmly stacked on Che /mididle, distance of the sideboard. Now let us concern ourselves over the resting place of\ the dear old: turkey, his very self, if it/isn’t. good English.” “There's the platter on the plate rail. It only comes down on state ¢ ions,” smiled Mrs. Elliott, who by this, time was sorting out the flat ‘silver. “Remember it’s heavy—there. Now it’s down.” * Mary .Ann, deposited it with care on the table and annodnced) tha she was going to select jam dishes, that being a collective icrm, shey4x- plained, meaning pickle dish, celery and olive dish, cranberry jelly dish not to mention one really intended for jam Mrs, Elliott. lookd up from her silver. “A dozen and a half forks is all very well,” she said, “for our usual family of four, but what with a salad and a-pie course, I really shall have to accept the loan of your nide, new silver.” By ye Mary Ann’s eyes twinkled. “What do you vane I brought «my ting _ bag for?, To draw forth knitting from its depthg? Nay, nay, dear frichd. { just put those same forks in it early this morning-and put my hat on top the hag so that I surely wouldn't come away without them.” “Good. You’re a nice sweet child,” replied Mrs. Elliott, kissing her, and reaching the next minute for the sherbet classes. ae But you said pie for dessert,” objected Mary Ann. “Quite so, pie it is, and do see jt there are twelve plates in the pile over there.” She went on unconcerned counting sherbet cups.’ “I won't keep you in suspense. Jane thinks an ice is:just great with a meat course, and so it is. in spite of baked squash, weet and Irih potatoe, and, creamed heang to take. one’s attention. That’s why these glasses.” ' - Sh eyed the table with pleasure and then turning to the menu again. “It’s Yust about finished,” she said. “If you will get the salad plates out, and count these after dinner coffee cups, J’ll start polishing the family , heirloom.” f Mary Ann looked up with interest to see what this jmight be. .“Oh, Aren't you proud of it? So glad to, sce it{again, bless its heart,” she exclaimed. 4 “Well,” said Mrs. Elliott, with a sigh of regret, “Ir guess we are’ just ebout thru I'l make acnote te buy a nice, soft cotton Santa Claus, and the little tree in, the center will need to be trimmed. There ar sli napkins to look up, but that’s all. So then thanks ’to your help, Mary Ann, we are al set for:Christmas dinner.” | yey JOLLY GA \ES <2, For Little Folks HO of us grown-ups, do not delight ‘in joining in with the, gov fun of the young folks, at Christmas time, a stealing. for ourselves a goodly bit of this most joyful occasionxduring ‘the ~ year.

They will enjoy having you at their revels, if yoy have a*new game or two to teach an‘ assist them in playing. A few that are here suggested as ap- propriate, may be even entertaining to ¥rown-ups. 2 (a Aa a i= ae j Christmas Candles * 8 PN \ This is a simple game to play and easy for the tiny ¢ots.
