Then he stepped to the tree, and reading the names on the packages, passed them ceremonious- ly to Mr. and Mra, Coles, There wasn’t a present for a child—not one. “We wanted you to have all the Christmas this year, We told Santa Guppressed : giggles) not te dare to bring us a thing.

A044, Westera Dewspeper Union, “ ‘T MUST be a little lonely x for you here,” said Mrs. Carter to Millie, who was cutting up raisins in a bowl, “Oh, no, I like it.” “But yeu know so few people; even we are, strangers to you. You've come from so far to help {-me, and-it worries me. I want you to be happy with us.” Millie flung her cloud of dark curls over her shoulder. “Worries you, Mrs. Carter?” She was round- eyed with — astonishment. “ wouldn't know how to start worry- ing! I like it here, fine.” + Mrs. Carter felt gently rebuked. | ‘That night she mentioned Millie to her husband. “Here she is, Charles; eighteen years old, no fa- ther, no- mother, no money, ne home, but where. the State Commis- sion chooses to send her, and she says, Charles, she wouldn't even know how to start worrying. Isn't ft pathetic?” “t don’t see how it's in the least pathetic,” said her husband briskly. “1 think it’s darn good philosophy.” Her Basket Bulged and She Could Scarcely Speak, “But it's Christmas time, Charles, We can give her so little; she needs so much, It worrles me.” “There you go again, doing the very thing she doesn’t even know atiout, Give her what you can and be sure she'll take it with gratitude,” Millie fairly sparkled on Christ- mas Eve. She had baked bread and pudding and made three pies. She had scoured the house until it shone. She had even helped Mrs, Carter to wrap up gifts. for the berhood. “Do let me take them, [t's fun.” she begged. “I Jove seeing how happy people are in their hou ~ So Millie started out with a large jbaeketful of xifts. “Poor little et sighed Mrs. Carter, “Every- : thing for other people; none for j herself.” At nine o'clock Millie was home again, cheeks red, hair blowing, looking, as Mr. Carter sald, like one grand big time all by herself. Her basket bulged and she could scarce- ; ty speak for excitement, “Oh, Mrs, Carter, there must be some mis- take... . but everywhere [ went they gave me a present... all these . . . I don't understand!” She appealed to her mistress to come look for herself, On every package was “For Mitte” “You see.” explained a friend we simply could not re sist givin her something.

(1a, Western Newayeper Unica, By BYRON PRICE | “| (Chief Of Bureau, The Associated! Press, Washington) Nothing else President} Roosevelt has done challeng-' es the imagination quite So) sharply as his creation of the| civil works administration, | | desired to hire the unemploy. ed wholesale, put them to. work at all sorts of odd jobs, ! jand pay them out of govern-; | ment money. In its scope the plan is fully a: ambitious as the most ambitious) claim ever made for the NRA. It} is proposed to have no fewer than | 4,000,000 men in the pay of this| new ageney by mid-December. In its theory of operation it de- parts as widely from the accepted notions of the past.as did the pro- cessing taxes or the sale of power | from Muscle Shoals. The fact that so “momentous step could be taken without at-j tracting far greater attention than | it did is proof how far the’ nation has gone along the road toward a new conception of the functions of government. Studying The Pendulum The word being ‘passed by re- peal leaders to their workers is not} one of unmixed jubilation over the vietory of November 7. Now the anti-prohibitionists, being in, are on the defensive. They know they will be asked bp a persistent public to provide some regime better than prohibi- tion. There is a keen realization, too, | that when the pendulum of public! opinion swings violently and quick-| ly in one direction some sort of reaction follows naturally. For that reason great pains will be taken to find out just why South Carolina went dry. Inside} reports of the repealists showed} North Carolina probably dry, but not South Carolina. The leaders think something im- portant happened there just before the election. They want to know whether the pendulum actually} began its backward swing before November 7. The New York Election Probably very few in the west and south were much excited about New York city’s election contest, yet it may turn out that! the voters in those far sections had, a great deal at stake after all: For what happened was this A democratic insurrection against Tammany, with substan- tial Washington backing, failed to, elect an. independent. democrat} mayor, leaving Tammany in con-! trol of whatever party machinery remains. An independent republican, Mr.; LaGuardia, who under other cir-! cumstances might have been con- sidered a likely recruit for. the democratic insurgent republican coalition dreamed of by Washing- ton, was elected mayor over the opposition of Roosevelt lieuten- ants. ; So what?

Salads contain vitamins necessary to a well- rounded diet, and are more often eaten, especially by men and children, when served as an ap- petizer at the beginning of the meal. Following are the favorite sal- ad recipes of Chef Garces, who is one of the best-known culinary artists in the country: Milady Salad Bed of lettuce, sliced fresh pineapple, orange and sliced ap- ple placed upright, decorate with cherries and pickled walnuts.
