Merry Christmas!
Here and there alns mo nm of this '
svorkaduv world are a tew miU-toties
that make us stop nnd take notice,
TTnrrvlr.r- nlon? nt breakneck speed, the
dust we are raising h'unin
our wsiou '
and obscuring oir mhv, there are two
things that stop us in o':r path ami
clear the cloud from before our ejes.
They are bereavement and Christmas.
Bereavement is a cruel nwukenor.
For it opens our eves too late and so
brings to our hearts only sorrow and
frequentlv bitternesa to our souls.
But Christmas' It brings the same
awnkenlng, the snine r a' 73ti n of the
triviality ami futilit of the things that
have stiMi'l bitween i- n. 1 the great
view. And k' it lilN our htarts with
gladness und cir sou's nith joy. It
comes net too late, ',-t in tune for us
to reflect its blessed .igf.t. Antl the
world is bene- and umre beautiful to
us. and we nre better for the Christmas
spirit.

In order to tnko advantage of your moth

Six months ago I met a girl for whom
I took a strong liking (I sav liking be
causo I am just eighteen years old and
I am certnln that It could not be called
love) nnd she took a liking to me. I
called often nfter our first meeting and
wo went out to different shows and
nn occasional dance.
One oienlng when I called to take her
out she told mo that she had something
to tell mo but would wait until after
the show beforo she would tell me what
It wns After tho show I asked her
what she had to tell me and she replied
"How is It that you call so often (twice
a weok) nnd never speak of love to me?
Now, Cynthln, you could seo what a fine
predicament I wa In. for I was so
nmnzed by this statoment that I lost
control of my speech for a few seconds.
After I cnlmed down n little I replied
"How can I speak of love when I do not
know what roal truo love Is'" This
rondo her angry nnd she said to me,
"Then that means that you do not love

Now Cynthia, do you think It best to
drop her altogether or shall I still con

With hopes of beelng my problem In

better let tho friendship drop.
"A Cynic" on Love
Dear Cynthia I have been a icry
much Interested and amused reader of
tho discussions on lovo ln your column
Frankly speaking, I do not believe that
there Is such 11 thing between man anil
maid If one puts thlB Indefinable ab
stract noun, "love," under the old
scrutiny of analysis, It Is easily stripped
bare. It Is at best but a monetary'
passionate fever and If given time will
exhaust Itself If tho young gentleman
nnd lady who aro In this temporary
stato of Insanity were to really learn
to know one another, ah, how few
marriages their would be I myself have
cxpcnenceii soverai 01 tnese jnuummn
tory passions, nmong them one very
bitter one. Hut when I look back over
thcso episodes I chucklo and shake
hands with myself.
It Is pitiful to see tho young men
walking through the park on Sunday
with tho 'dear, sweot young thing"
hanging on their arm. Do not think,
Cynthia, that I am a woman hater. Far
from It Hut better a "new face, a
ntw fancy" than, "Cloorge, elear, get up
and light the furnace ; It Is so cold "
If a man's horso and dog would live
as long as him. the passions would
hnvo a long vacation. Thero Is, however,
real, "Holv love" in this world. That
of a man for his country, nnd when hu
has suffered for his Hag the dross Is
burned away and tho nuru gold remains
Tho other is that of the mother for her
child, and that Is also bom of suffering
Of love hi another world wo know
nothing, Personally I ngrto with Omar

IKK.
It must always be reinembeied that
because Cynthia publishes letters In her
column she docs not Intlorso them. The
cvnleal remarks of "Ike" on love whlc'i
rlL-hily used, Is ono of find's greatest
gifts, could never bo Indotsed by (Jyn
hla or by any worthy man or woman,
because theio Is no happier state than
tho married state when two tieoplo loie
each other as they should. Furthermore,
It Is a terrlbl" tbinir to t,en how r-heiu.

yet ln tho next bronth wish one a happy

THE DAILY NOVELETTE
Emily's Christmas Eva
IJy KLKANOIt T. Sl'KIlHY
To nmlly, wearily resting her weight
first on one foot nnd then on tho other
behind her depleted counter with Its
signs advertising glaring eleventh-hour
reductions all nskew, tho endless pro
cession of Jostling, bnrgaln-huntlnsr
shoppers offered no diversion. For a
week now sho had wntched tho same
sort of a crowd. Only being Christmas
Uvo, It was perhaps a littlo better nat
urcd thnn usual.
In an hour or two, tho mob, flat of
purses and burdened with packages,
would dlsixerso to Its homes and Emily
would be frco to go to hers such as It
was and to batho her aching fcot, re
flecting on the long, unbroken hours of
sleep which would bo her Christmas
present.
No, It wasn't the crowd which brought
tired lines of worry to tho girl's fore
head. It was tho thought of Frod Fer
guson waiting outsldo the door by which
tho sales force left the store, waiting to
slip an arm through hers and tako her
home, waiting to make a dato for to
morrow at some "swell Joint," wnltlng
to get tho answer sho had promised to
his
frequently repeated, "Aw, girl
marry me, will yer?" Oh, to eludo Fred
Ferguson !
For weeks now Fred had pursued icr
nnd, In her loneliness, Kmlly had ac
cepted just enough of his attentions to
lay herself open to tho charge that she
was encouraging him. Yet always, deep
down In her heart. Kmlly knew sho
would dlo rather than marry a man
whoso one Idea of a good tlmo was a.
crowd and n racket nnd whose one lm
pulso toward a girl was to grub her
hand or pass an Impudent arm around
her waist. Sick that was what she
was sick of Fred Ferguson, who, al
though ho sneered nt her for n prig,
seemed to find her nil tho moro provoca
tive on that account.
This Christmas F.ve, even as Kmliy
hustled madly to tlo up packages and
answer questions and show how me
chanical creatures porformed and to do
a hundred other things all nt once, she
was reviewing to herself Just when Fred
had suddenly seemed so resnulsfve. Un
doubtedly It was the very first tlmo that
John I.athrop, tho new assistant man
ager, had walked homo with her.
Young I.athrop had given her her first
conception of what a "regular man"
could be For several weeks, to her
secret surprise as well ns delight and to
Fied's unfeigned nnnoynnce. John had
m.sdo It a point to greet her when sho
came In In the morning, to bid her
gocd-by nt closing nnd, such raro times
as Fred was not ln attendance, to tako
her home.
Then, so suddenly that It hinted nt
some inexplicable reason, tho littlo cour

CHRISTMAS IS
MOST WONDERFUL DAY
After Wc Stopped Being Little Wo Were Disappointed in It
But the Spirit of Christmas Made It Real to Us Again
WIIION we were little, Christmas wns
tho most wonderful time of oil the
year.
Wo decided just what wo wanted "n
pony, n new doll nnd a great big doll
house, with lights nnd stairs and win
dows nnd n front porch."
Wc wrote straggly, crooked letters
about It to Santa Claus.
Then on Chrlotmas cvo wc goi one
of mother's long blnck stockings, hung
it up carefully nnd confidently nnd
settled down to n restless, worried,
watching hour or two before going to
sleep.
Next morning there would bo tho
stocklug n)I filled with tho most lovely
things somehow the ones In tho stock
ing wore so mysterious, such funny,
different littlo things.
And the tree, ns we marched In nt
tho end of the family lino after break -
fn,,tl ... , , 1
It was so beautiful, so wonderful
thnt deep bluo ball wny high on one
side, those long strings of tinsel, that
little cotton mnn dressed llko n baker
iu n cap nud npron, and a fat, smiling
Snutn Claus stnnding guard over tho
tilings nt tho base of tho tree.
It was tho most wonderful day in
the wholo year.
S WI3 grow older wc began to doubt
ti, ctncklntr theory n little.'
IM,n enmn tho llnV WllCIl We (lis-
covered for sure that it was n myth
wc were triumphant over our cmw
ness, but there was ono place in our
hearts that fcH empty, n trlfio sad.
Things for our rooms, books, hnjr
ribbons, then took tho place of picture
bookB nnd dolls.
And ns time went on, wc began shop-e.in-
nurselves for gifts for Mother and
Dnildy, Joe and Uncle Bill.
Wo harpC(l put uwny mi: iimon" j
tree Uiirfgs, after New Scar's Dny, nnd
then nt last wo were allowed -to stay
by reflecting that only In story books
did fine, upstanding fairy prlnoes Ike
John Lathrop caro for homely littlo
Clnderollas llko herself. t-m
Only In her own oyes was En11
homely. To John, as well as to Fred.
hoT sunny hair, her dimpled chin, her
velvet eyes llko twin pansles, were be
witching. ,
Breaking In on Emily's "verlM dur
ing a momentary lull n tho frenzy .of
buying, came tho shrill voice of Stela
Green from tho electrified train de
partment beyond.
"I say, Em, seo you tomorrow night,
shrieked Stella, "you and your 1-rcd,
atBmUyaialugl,ed shortly. "NthM.l!
No dancing for mlno tomorrow. After
today7 I should say not!
What will Fred y to that?' 'called
Stolla with a narrow-lidded glance nt
Emily. But tho latter was saved the
necessity of replying by the ringing of
the bell which signified tho end of the
shopping oVgy. Another Christmas Kve
was over 1
Emily mndo up her books, shuffled hex
way through tho wreckage of packing
boxes nnd wrapping paper and excelsior
whlcl. strewed tho floor nnd put on her
hat and coat. Then, with n nutter cr
Sen-ousneVs causing her heart to pound,
ST joined tho throng of chattering girls
""outsWOn tho-crlsn night air. Emily,
relieved that Fred had not pounced upon
her Immediately, as he had a fondness
tor doing, drew a deep breath and looked
up at the twinkling stars, so coldly re
mote. If only Fred had been delayed
But a sturdy step camo up behind
her and swung out to her side. Miss
Emily, may I seo that you reach home
safely?" And. glory be, tho volco did
not belong to Frod !
"Why. Mr. Lathrop!" Emily's voice
fairly thrilled her relief.
'.rrv.nt'0 .net" lie said cheerfully, "al
though I'm Just John to somo people
nnd L'nclo John to others. I'd llko to
call for you tomorrow afteinoon and
tako you around to my sister's. They
always have n regular Christmas. They

For a moment. Emily was speechless.
To seo a regular Christmas again ! Mon
toiiv ohn weighed two nlctures ngalnst
ono nnother tho noisy dance hall with
Its garish muslo and harsh-voiced
crowd John's sister's home with a
Christmas treo nntl toys scattorcd on
tho floor, and children !
Then Emily shivered, and John did
not know It was a shiver of puro Imp
Plness. What Is it?" he nsked gently. 'I
hopa that Ferguson person has no prior
clnlniH."
The look Emily threw lUm was answer
enough but beforo she could speak,
John wns talking. "Do you ltnow," he
said softly, "I wanted to bo friends with
vou the very first time I saw you. In
fact, I tried but Mr. r Ferguson
took pains to tell mo you wero cngnged
to hlra wero wearing his ring!"
"His ring!" echoed Emily, Indignantly,
"My mother's ring! Tho only thing of
hers I have 1 '
"Yes," said John, "but when tonight
I saw him er kiss Miss Green and
extract a promise from her to let him
take her out tomorrow, I decided tho
M.gngoment either must bo broken or
ought to be!"
"It can't be cither," said Emily sim
ply, 'because It never was!"
Then, as tho weight of Fred Fergu
son slipped nway forever, "Isn't Christ
mns wonderful?" she bre-Jithed, lifting
her pansy eyes up to John's.
