Tell her about your tool chest.” This device not only gets the child out into the cool, frosty air when he is stuffy, tired and sleepy, but it changes his thought at just about the moment_when he is beginning to weary of his own gifts and wants his little brother’s. If he can be induced to think of some one besides himself and get out of doors for an hour he i1l come back with fresh interest in his toys and the period of crossness tided over. This mother, standing in the win- dow, watched her small boy reaching for the knocker of the house across the way, and smiled at the sudden change from growing peevishness to a sense of responsibility and impor- tance. “He'll come back all sweetened up,” she murmured.

Very early this Christmas morning he had started out with a load of good things, and he had left some of them wherever he thought they would be most easily found by those for whom they were intended. 1D So it was that Peter and Mrs. Peter | had not had to go beyond the edge of the dear Old Briar Patch to find such a breakfast as they had not had for many a long Reddy Fox foand a feast almost on his doorstep. On his favorite resting place on th: edge of the Smiling Pool Jerry Musk rat had found carrots enough to last him two or three days. It was the same way with the little people of the Green Forest and the Old Orchard. No gne had been forgotten. So it was that good will filled the hearts of all just as the food had filled their stomachs. Peter Rabbit, on his way to the Green Forest, was so possessed of the feeling that on this day therc was no danger that he didn’t even watch out for it. So it was that un- expectedly he came almost face to face with Reddy Fox. Just for a sec ond his heart seemed to leap right up:in his throat. Then Reddy Fox grinned. “It's a fine day, Peter,” said he, “a jolly, fine day. I hope you are feeling as fine as I am.” Reddy grinned again, and before Peter could find his tongue trotted on. ‘When Peter reached the Green Forest he heard the voices of Sammy Jay, Blacky the Crow, Chatterer the Red Squirrel, Happy Jack Squirrel and Rusty the Fox Squirrel, and he knew by the sound that they were greatly and happily excited. Peter pricked up his ears. “Something’'s golng on over there! he exclaimed, and hutried as fast as his long legs could take him. ‘When he got there he found that his friends were gathered around a little hemlock tree.

By the time family names ed ce were in formation the whole civili world had become Christian; he; the word ceased to be distinctive What really happened was this: The name of Christ first became the baxis of certain given names which have persisted even to this day and the g family names were formed from thes: . One of these names was Christian and the ‘other Christofer. or Christophe: The family name would first ap descriptive of the individual's p. age. as “John Christian-son” or Christofer's-son.” But given also were abbreviated, and ent- ‘et names both Christian and Christofer were often met in the forms “Crist” or “Kit.,” from which we get such family names as “Christie-son” and Kitsol often shortened in the course of tim to Kits. Christie or Crist. The given name of Christian was very wide- spread among the Scandinavians, and is unusually common on the east coast of England, where even in olden times the people were in close touch with the Danes and traded with the folk of the north German countries. No doubt many of these family names found in this country today have been brought directly from the continent, and are not English. i 1592 Just as the threc-piece costume has gained widespread favor for grown-ups. so is it fashionable for yvoungsters, but of a little differ- ent consistency.
