CHAPTER 1 The Christmas Tree Here and there above the roofs and #ablea, caves and steeples that are the skyscrape of New York, there towsars an oecasional chureh spire, a reat, tive, kindly finger pointing to Heaven, The Chureh of the Nativity holds aloft fust sueh & fAnger—but it rises fram & smug, sleek, soft hand An habitue of New York's most fashionable elub would feel quite at liome In the Church of the Nativity, There Is the same rich simplicity in hoth, the same warm comfort, and, ahove all, tthe same exclusiveness, Nut & threadbare man would be as self-conscious In one Institution as in the other, A flesting winter sun, bound on Christmas eve, peered through stained glass windows upon & soene of disorder not in keeping with the primness it usually found in the rich shadows of these stately walls, Crumpled paper, hoxes and wood shavings were scattered everywhere, Bits of abandoned string wscrawled strange figures on the coor. Rising above this confusion tow- ered a glant fir tree, decked with the lights and colors of an Aurora Bore- alis, Tinsel and trinkets weighted its boughs. A young girl polsed on n step ladder, draped a strand of sliver on already overloaded branches, then sat down awkwardly on one of the steps, A woman, dressed too youthfully for her 40 years, and too tightly for her 180 pounds, turned slowly, sur- weying a dazzling ball held level with her eyes, As she faced the ladder she glimpsed other ornaments, “plity!” she reproved. “Dilly, for pity's sake pull down your skirt.” She turned to a third feminine figure ‘bending over a box. “I don't know what skirts are coming to!"” “They're not coming to the ground, mother, you can be sure of that" Dilly rejoined flippantly. Dilly, otherwise Dafodil Gllllam, was pretty even before she learned that nature had adjuncts sold in small round boxes. Twenty years old, she was 30 years witty, 40 years wise, 50 years worldly and 60 years cynical, ¥ “I can't understand why our young women want to go around looking like chorus girls,” Mrs, Gilliam complained {rritably. “Perhaps they've noticed the kind of men that marry chorus girls,” Lella Thornbury remarked, looking up from a box of toys. At 30 Lella had left one marriage behind, carrying away court-awarded spoils of war. There was something feverish and restless in her eyes, something deliberately at- tractive in her manner. “I've two engagements before din- ner,” said Mrs. Thornbury, finally, “and I've got to go home and un- dress for the opera.” . "I gave up the dance for this,"” boasted Dilly. “But you all waste your "time so dreadfully,” objected ~Mrs. Gilliam. “I'm busy, too, but my life is given to the service of others.” 1 “What could be sweeterl” her daughter mocked. “Dilly! Nobody knows better than you that I've never had a . selfish thought. Mr. Gilllam—" “Of the Gilliam Groceries, Inc., in- terjected the girl. N “Mr. Gilllam says I'm far too good! Only yesterday I gave 500 pounds of coffee and sugar to the Salvation Army.” ‘ %And today,” interrupted the in- corrigible Dilly, “father jumped the price ‘of sugar to 32 cents!” ‘Mrs. Gilllam saw the futility of further argument. “One gets precious little reward, I can tell you,” she said with rising emotion. “I sent helpful thoughts from the Bible to all Mr. Gilllam's employesl Now they're on strike, and the man that got ‘Be content with your wages’ is leading the strikers.” 8he rummaged in the toy box to onoeal her agitation. “Where's the Star of Bethlehem?” he asked absently. "It doesn't work, plained Dilly. #Are those your husband’s men on the gront steps?” Mrs. Thornbury @sked after a moment's pause. *“Oh, no,” sald Mrs. Gilllam. “Those are people from the sweat shops. They're starving, I hear, and Mr. Gilliam says it serves 'em right.” Ry this time she had found the object of her search—a large, brilllant star- shaped ornament. “What's the mat- homeward mother,” ex- ki fami| TR Xy prepared,and gaves about §2, If you have a severe cough or chest cold accompanied with soreness, throat tickle, hoarseness, or difficult breathing, or if your child wakes up during the night with croup and vou want quick help, try this reliable old home-made cough remedy.

Tt tastes good, and in spite of its low cost, it can be depended upon to give quick and lasting relief, You can feel this take hold of a cough in & way that means business. It loosens and raises the phlegm, stops throat tickle and soothes and heals tge irritated membranes that line the throat and bronchial tubes with such prompt- ness, ease and certainty that it is really astonishing. Pinex is a special and highly concen- trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and is probably the best known means of overcoming severs coughs, throat and chest colds.

Tice had it made to order—of Parisian dia- monds. It cost §300, “All right, it's better than neth. ing,” said Dilly, taking it from her mother and elambering up the shaky ladder. “Well, I'm half dead and there can't he any more presents,” droned Mrs, Thornbury, reaching for her wrap. “I'd give my left hand for a clgarette," “Not here!" exclaimed Mrs, Gil. llam a bit shocked, “Why not? We've had everything else,” “Mother's so mid-Vigtorian,” Dilly whined And ministers are finding they've got to do something to make chureh-going attractive What do we get out of it now? I've heard of preachers who go In for dances and movies and they draw crowds, too, Who wouldn't go to church to get a squint at Douggy Falrbanks?" A 'YOUNG GIRL ON A STEP LADDER DRAPED A STRAND OF SILVER ON OVERLOADED BRANCHES. She clambered down the ladder, having hung the star at the top of the tree. Light from an opening door drew attention to a small, bent, mouse-like man, a grayed creature who bowed his way apologetically, his arms filled with bundles. “Good Lord!" expostulated Mrs. Gilllam, “More presents?" “Mrs. Tice brought them,” he ex- plained. “She and Mr. Jerry Good- kind. They're coming right in."” “Oh, Mr, Barnaby,” said Dilly. “Our star won't light. Will you see if you can fix—" “One moment—" The sexton was hurrying back to the door, free of his arm-load. The Gilliams could wait. Mrs. Tice was much wealthfer, With a.servile bow Mr, Barnaby opcned the door. CHAPTER 1I. Mrs. J. Orson Tice ‘Mrs. J. Orson Tice swept into the leaden shadows of the darkening church in much the same manner that she had just entered middle age —refusing to close the door behina her., “Hello, everybody,” she said in airy greeting, which “everybody” returned. “Who are those people on the church steps? A lot of dirty foreignery blocking the sidewalk.” “It's the grating Mrs. Tice,” ex- plained the chronically apologetic Mr. Barnaby, “The furnace room's un- derneath and they're trying to keep warm.” NEW VIM FOR WEAK, THIN, PALE WOMEN X 70U can’t enjoy your work or 1Y have your share of the winter’s pleasures unless you get rid of 'that run down 1eeling and purify ‘and enrich your thin blood.

Proper obelsance having been pald to Mrs, Tice, Lella Thornbury turned to the man who had entered leisurely in her wake, Jerry Goodkind leaned indolently on a shiny, yellow walking stick, It was a favorite pose, restful and at the same time man-about- townish, Jerry was 36, Having had everything he wanted hadn’t left him bored or jaded, On the con- trary, he was well pleased with things in general, and himself in particular, “We didn’'t hope to see you here, Mr. Goodkind,” sald Mrs, Thornbury graciously, “I met him In front of Tiffany's* explained Mrs. Tice, “The most dangerous corner in New York!"” Jerry sald knowingly, with a smile, He was always smiling, sometimes carelessly, sometimes amusedly, But his eyes seldom Joined in the smile “I lured him here by mentioning that Clare Jewett was helping us," continued Mrs, Tice. Dilly saw a chance to tantalize. “Page Mr. Gilchrist!” she called in strident bell-boy tones. “Dilly!” rebuked her mother. “What a way of saying that Clare is engaged to the assistant rector! Dilly's looking well today, isn't she, Mr. Goodkind. So young and—" “Fresh!” added Jerry. “Well, good people, T must Ileave you,” Mrs. Thornbury . remarked, turning to her wraps. Jerry was at her side in a moment helping her into an enormous fur coat, admiring it the while. “Miss Jewett's in the chair room,” she murmured to him as she left. “She has an engagement for din- ner, but you notice she didn’t =say with whom,” Mrs. Gilliam said when the outer door slammed. “T don’t think they ought to allow divorced women in the church!"” “The church won't marry them,” Mrs. Tice answered. “That's the trouble,” Mrs. Gilliam. “The church will let ’em glve stained-glass windows, though,” in- terjected the rebellious Dilly. “Where does she get all her money?” queried Mrs. Gilligm, brush- ing aside her daughter's irony. “Billy settled for $36,000 a year,” Mrs. Tice replied. Jerry chuckled. “Think of getting $36,000 a year out of munitions,” he laughed. “Gee! what a lot of lives that coat must have cost!"” It was a pleasantry which pleased Jerry. He saw the tragedy of men's lives exchanged for women's finery, one of life’s little jokes. ~The others joined in his merriment and the Rev. Lverett Wadham, walking in upon the scene, found “the flower of his flock™ in high good humor. “Here's Dr. Wadham,” welcomed dilly. Dr. Wadham bowed in well- contrived humillty. He was an easy- going man of 60, a kindly, earnest, pleasant soul. As rector of a rich church he had no worries, so those of others did not occur to him. He had known no discomfort in his life, hence it was simple for him to deny its existence.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER SUSPECT IT Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected, Judging from reports from drug- gists who are constantly in direct tonch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very suc- cessful in overcomming these cordi- tions.
