The [“imported” one. Keeping Foods Fresh | 8y Alice B. Palmer | "Twas Christmas day! Ice coated —snow coated—crisp and delightful! Great preparations for the holiday | feast were in progress in the old homestead at the far end of Jay Street. A gorgeous Christmas tree |and attractive berry-laden holly | wreaths shone through the windows, | while the evergreens without added ito the beauty of the festive atmos- | phere. } There were just seven of them in | | the little family—father, mother and | | children. They were all busy in the | | happy task of helping mother. The | | turkey was sputtering in the oven | Jand the cranberries were popping. | ;Joyous cong and laughter rang clear | through the gaily decorated home. | Lucia Bell, a new resident several doors down the same street, was sit- | ting alone dreamily gazing out upon | the Christmas ice castles. Just tnen she heard a knock. Who in the world would be rapping at her door on Christmas day? “Come in!” eried the startled Lucia Bell. In steppad a small girl, beaming with the very joy of being alive. “My mudder—my—we all want. you, to Christmas dinner!” Lucia Bell, smiling a smile of Chiistmas joy. was truly delighted ind accompanied the happy little 1irl to the house of great Chnristmas preparations. “Won't you be one of us,” said mo- ther sweetly, “and cut the Christmas pies?” Lucia Bell was thrilled and before anyone knew it she had them trimly cut and ready to serve. 'Twas at the height of the Christ- mas dinner that something very won- W, e B . . ~ ¥ Long Ago Thefe Had Also “Just Seven of Theml” derful happened to Lucia Bell. there they were—all of them! Why How strange she hadn't noticed them be- fore}, In those other days long ago there had also beem “just seven of them!” Opposite, hexr. now, she could plainly see her own brothers and sisters sitting around that othe: table. _She rubbed. her eyes and blinked at the happy scene. At that very moment the little family before her became Christmas fairies in the mind of Lucia Bell; and she smiled a smile of tender gratitude toward each one of them. SANTA CLAUS VISITS JAPAN INRICKSHAW So Santa Claus wears a red suit and a long white beard, and when he isn’t busy in the toy store, drives a sleigh pulled by Donner and Blitz- en? Not if you live in Hawaii. There, on a.moonlit December night, you might see Santa come riding in from the océan on a surf-board. As like-| ly as not there would be a lei, or| wreath flowers, about hi§ neck, al- since Hawaii is really American ter- ritory. g In the Philippines, though it, top, is American, the white cap turns conical like a Spanish clown's. He carries a red-and - white lantoin which helps him find the home of every good boy and girl, and drives buffalo, which they cail earabao. The gifts are packed in baskets slung across the backs of these creatures. What would you think of Sanfa in a rickashaw? But, after all, if you were a Chinese child isn't that what you would expect? And Santa never disappoints. In Japan he sits with his feet tucked under him to take his tea on a wintry afternoon, and in the African tropics—well, you just wouldn't recognize the red suit! He has even taken to using the air- plane in our own country. Tam sure that when he leaves the reindeer in his barn, he pats the nose of each one and urges the ice elves to féed them plenty of reindeer moss till he comes home again.—Frances Grin- stead. — e YULETIDE Christmas, of all seasons, is one | most dedicated to forgetting our- selves for the sake of children.—(Wo- man’s Home Companion.) e TREES INSFEUTED Christmas trees from regions where though he wears the same red suit |and watetproof boots he dons i Tor | careTuTY: thspected by 50 | boys and girls of the United States.|agents at shipping centers.” - the gypsy moth is a serious pest are - 1936 Lovely Adrienne who play 2 ; ; £ ) the part of Betty R jolph in th must have their plum pud- ‘n‘s to ux.d‘crxmnd these queer‘ for- Boxes lined withtinfoll and cov- | R"g %C&; Q?{gs,( :,?\ i _ ding and holly | eigners.
