Rosemary
A charming Christmas story of a litttle girl and her beautiful
mother whom she called "Angel"
By C. N. and A. M. Williamson
Illustrated by Will Jones
Because Rosemary believed in fairies she became one her
self and was able to work wonders on a Christmas eve at
Monte Carlo, bringing together two hearts estranged by
the worldly wise who presume to interfere in love affairs.
Rosemary's naive winsomeness will appeal to you as it did
to all whom she met and you will be glad to read the story

Beauty In the Angleworm.
If there is any living thing that seems
to have nothing to relieve its ugliness
It is the angleworm that crawls slimily
across tlie sidewalk after a heavy rain.
And yet even that is beautiful. Put a
bit of its upper skin under the micro
scope and your ideas of the poor little
worm will change mightily, it shim
tners like the softest satin and spar
kles with all the colors of the rainbow,
for it is covered with little fine lines
crossing each other like the cuttings in
a glass vase.
The Smooth Handle.
Everything has two handles—one by
R'hich It may be borne, another by
which it cannot If your brother acts
unjustly, do not lay hold on the alfnlr
by the handle of his injustice, for by
that it cannot be borne, but rather by
the opposite, that he Is your brother,
that he was brought up with you, and
thus you will lay hold on it as it is to
be borne.—Epictetus.
A Word For Nero.
"Nero fiddled while Romt* burned!"
exclaimed tin? student.
"Well," replied Mr. Growcher, "that's
better than the custom many violinists
have of practicing at a time when ev
erything is nice and quiet otherwise."

The Compromise.
"My bride wanted togo on a week's
wedding tour, and 1 wanted to stay at
home. Wei!, we compromised by going
on a tour around the world!"—Meggen

■, Hfcßh was a young man in Monte Carlo. Jin
had come in a motor car, and he had come a
r W- lon g way, but he hardly knew why lie had come.
hardly knew in these days why he did any-
I thing. But, then, one must do something.
'/ xy '*■ wo "hl be Christmas soon, and he thought
j that he would rather get it over on the Riviera
than anywhere else, because the blue and gold
weather would not remind him of other Christmases which were
gone pure, white, cold ( hristmases, musical with joy bells and sweet
with aromatic pine, the scent of trees born to be Christmas trees.
1 here had been a time when he had fancied it would be a wonder
ful thing to see the Riviera, lie had thought what it would be liko
to hi- a rich man and bring a certain girl here for a moon of honey
and roses.
She was the most beautiful girl in the world, or he believed her so,
which is exactly the same thing, and he had imagined the joy of walk
ing with her on just such a terrace as this Casino terrace where he
was walking now, alone. She would be in white, with one of those
long ermine things that women call stoles, an ermine muff (the big,
granny kind that swallows girlish arms up to the dimples in their
elbows) and a hat which they would have bought together in Paris.
I hey would have bought jewels, too, in the same street where they
found the hat, the Rue de la Paix, which she had told him she longed
to see. And she would be wearing some of the jewels with the white
dress just a few, not many, of course. A string of pearls (she loved
pearls), a swallow brooch (he had heard her say she admired those
swallow brooches, and he never forgot anything she said), with per
haps a sapphire studded buckle on her white suede belt. Yes, that
would be all, except the rings, which would lie hidden under her
glove* on the dear little hands whose nails were like enameled rose
leaves.
\\ hen she moved, walking beside him on the terrace, there would
be a mysterious silkv whisper and rustle, something like that you hear
in the woods in the spring, when the leaves are crisp
with tl«iir pale green youth, and you shut your eyes,
listening to the breeze telling them the secrets ,, — s
oflife -
Ihere would be a fragrance about the white dress \L
and the laces and ermine and the silk things that you
could not see, a fragrance as mysterious as the rus
tling, lor it would seem to belong to the girl and not
to have come from any bottle or bag of sachet pow
der a sweet, fresh, indefinable fragrance, like the smell of a tea rose
after rain.
I hev would have walked together, they two, and he would have
been so proud of her that every time a passerby cast a glance of admi
ration at her face he would feel that lie could hardly keep in a laugh
of joy or a shout: "She is mine! She is mine!"
But lie had been poor in the old days, when from far away he had
thought of this terrace and the moon of honey and roses and love. It
had all been a dream then, as it was now, too sweet ever to come true.
lie thought of the dream and of the boy who had dreamed it half
bitterly, half sadly, on this his first day in the place of the dream.
He was rich, as rich as he had seen himself in the impossible
picture, and it would have been almost too easy to buy the white dress
and the ermine and the pearls, but there was no one for whom he
would have been happy to buy them. The most beautiful girl in the
world was not in his world now, and none other had had the password
to open the door of his heart since she had gone out, locking it be
hind her.
''She would have liked the auto," he said to himself, and then, a
moment later, "I wonder why I came."
It was a perfect Riviera day. Everybody in Monte Carlo who
was not in the Casino was sauntering on the terrace in the sun, for it
was that hour before luncheon when people like to say "llow do you
do ? llow nice to meet you here!" to their friends.
The young man from far away had not, so far as he knew, either
y — *— enemies or friends at Monte Carlo.

politics and sport and motor cars and a good many other things, but
