PATIENTLY enough the family
had endured Frank Franiely's
fuds until he became a vege-
L tailan. An overindulgence in
j turkey ut the Thanksgiving feast had
I been followed by fasting, repentance
| and the adoption of the vegetarian
i cult. Steaks gave place to salads and
! lamb t<> lentils, wherefore the spare
■ j pennies of the Framely youngsters
j were Invested in linm sandwiches and
| smoked beef instead of cake and
j candy.
It had been bad enough when Fraine
j ]y lmd adopted the thorough inastiea
j tion I'.'ul and the entire family had sol

the back yard because Framely had a
cold and feared consumption, but even

"WE'RE GOING TO A RESTAURANT FOR A REAL CHRISTMAS
DINNER."
this outbreak, and toward afternoon
the mock turkey made its appearance.
| It resembled u gigantic candy favor in
shape and color. The tinting of the
outside had been rudely done and by
no means suggested the crackling skin
of the barnyard king bursting from the
pressure of the rich Juices within. Sad
ly Mrs. Frnmely shook her head as she
I shoved the bird Into the icebox along
with the rest of the packages which
the wagon bad brought and busied her-.
self with converting some meatless
"mince meat" into pies.
| Christina*? day dawned somberly
enougli in the Framely household.
Frank junior had thrown his carrotj
cutlet to the floor and had been sent
from the table in disgrace, and Nellie
had Invited a second outburst by tear
fully pleading permission togo to her
I grandmother's, where they would have
a "real" Christmas dinner. Grand-;
I mother was on the inaternal skle, and
Mrs. Oolford's l"tolernnce of'her son-.
LI in-law's fads was an ever ready sub
| j ject for acrimonious discussion,
jl To cap tlie climax, the elder Mrs.
' Frnmely arrived unannounced during
[ | the forenoon.
I was lonesome.'' she explained as
; S!K» followed her daughter-in-law Into
the parlor, "so I just pocked up some
mince pies and some jellies I'd made
I mid brought tbera along. 1 guess
Frnnk will like one of his mother's
pies for Christmas, though I will ad
mit that you do beat me on your crusts,
my dear. Now give me an apron and
I'll help you with the turkey."
Mrs. Framely the younger shrank
from an explanation and, with the
statement that things only needed to
be warmed up. thrust the matter aside.
.When her husband came in from
church \vi:h the children she slipped
out to put tilings on the table. When
the family came into the dining room
she supposed, of course, that her hus
band had explained and so made no
comment wlicu the old lnily set aside
her thick veg' table soup with the com
ment that she never did like those new
fangled soups.
But when the turkey was brought In
and set upon the table the old lady
brightened up.
"I don't see how yon get your turkey
sueli an even brown nil over," she said
approvingly. "Mine always burns on
the top. You know I like the second
Jblnt and some of the white meat.
Prank."
For an instant Framely went a sick
ly white.
'There is no white or dark meat," be
i-aid faintly. "This is a mock turkey,
a mixture of nuts and vegetables, yen
know. We have awakened to the error
nf our ways and eat no more carrion."
"Don't eat carrion," repeated hi.
mother ns she sliced a bit from the
strange mixture. "Yon eat this sort of
stuff Instead?"
"The pore pro luct of Mother Nature,
of the giv: a j■ anil the healthful
sunshine." :'sM her son solemnly.
"The la't iln I was here you were
chewing ;t foci like a cow cliews its
cud," remark'-' the old lady severely.
"That was I>. 1 enough, but when you

"Yes, moiifer," came for a second

and his wife knew that another fad
had passed.

tween 11 ai.d iii o'clock on Christmas
eve water can be turned into wine.
The lamp or candle must not be al
lowed to burn itself out on Christinas
eve or there will be a death In the

i cause they believe it always flowers
at the exact hour of Christ's birth.
All children born at midnight on Dec.

shirts I bought him for Christmas. I
didn't think he would. And now I'd
like to exchange them.
