V ) v W Putting the Real Unselfish Spirit Inte the Children's Celebra tien of TSEHE is a plcturt of Ilelrann Hunt of the llttle Hely Innocents who suffered death at Kin? Hered's behest in Bethlehem. They are escorting the Infant Jesus, who had escaped thelt late, alen the read into Egypt. The Baby is In His mother's arma find they are both ridinjr en an an which Jeseph Is leading along a desert path. On evcry slda arc the little In nocents, well and happy and laughing and running along, talking te the Baby who laughs and stretches toward them. He alene being awar of their Joyful company. The very essence of the happy child spirit that we grown-ups desire se greatly for Christmas is there in that picture, carefree, gleeful, comferable, actlve and full of the icst of life. And that the painter has made the little ones who perished and the little One who escaped equally merry and full of the Jey of life Is surely no misinterpre tation of the reality. AND indeed if llttle children, mortal or immortal, did net celebrate that one Child's birthday by mere than com mon rejoicing they would be forgetful of their dearest and best friend. He has changed their let in life. Little by little His Imagination and fore thought and tenderness en their behalf hnve permeated the. world, and tonight, children in Russia, nud China and Ar menia as well as in New l'erk and Chicago and San Francisce have gene te bed warm and nourished and net afraid because 2000 years go He walked en the earth and drew them te IIIci and understood and loved them, anil bade these who said they loved Him feed His Lambs and take care of th least of them as though they were tak ing care of Him. Bather than still one of their happy shouts of welcome te Him that day when He rode into Jerusalem with the children making way for Him and ac claiming Him us their king. He very i-tcmly rebuked the high official- who attempted te stay their ardor and dis perse them. Thnt He Jeopardized Ills life by allowing their celebration of Ills Paul and By HELENA Civilization rV COURSE, we'll go te the Beaux vy Arts mnsqucrade?" Virginia put it as a tentative question. "Oh. I suppesp se." said Paul disinterest edly. "The thing is just the same year after year." He paused and regarded her thoughtfully. "The jeung people nlwujs have a geed time." Virginia chuckled. "Heavens, Paul , don't be se terribly married. Yeu talk as If wa were in the fiftieth year instead of the very first." He joined In her laugh. "Wtll, you knew, what T mean, dear. Somehow one doesn't feel like mask ing in such ridiculous costumes nnd and cutting up, after one is married." "ItcallyV" She glanced swiftly at her image in the long pltr-glats, one of her regal possessions in the small living room. "Ileal'.)? Why, Paul. I feel mere like joining in the mask this year than I ever did. I don't knew, I feel that I can enjoy the wildest tlme nnd there'll be no criticism or anything. A married woman is se frightfully afel" "I suppose that's se. I'd never thought of It, though. What is the idea for the costume?" "Oh, Paul, a grand idea ; n per fectly grand Idea. lra gulng as a savage woman." "What's that?" "A savage woman. Yeu knew, like the aborigines of Africa or, or some thing like that." Virginia's geography wag weak. "I don't get the grand idea at all. Yeu don't mean a grass skirt, and a bone thrtfst through our hum', ami brass anklets, de you?" Virginia giggled delightedly "Oh, lien'," t-lie cried, "you almost have the idea right uwuj. But net quite. I'm going te go down te the department stores and buy a let of junk jewelry you knew the kind I mean. Big ear-rings for ninety-nine cents, and a lung string of brads, and bracelets and rings and ever thing like that." "Well?"

He had been very stern with the men and women who had mere than once attempted te make Him a king, but He accepted the children's homage. I HAVE sometimes wondered at the curious connection children had with the entrnnce and the departure of Christ. His birth was the direct cause of many children's suffering drath, nnd His death was, humanly speaking, due te the tumult of welcome little children save nim the last week of His mortal life. Fer the rest, one realizes that He was awnre of them all through His life. He watched them nt play, or held them, or called the attention of ethers te them, or was their physician, or mused ever them and talked about them, or, as en the day of the triumph of the children when He entered Jerusalem with them, always He was their deur friend. Ne gifts te children en His birthday can really suffice te meke the day what It should be if He is left out. And if It Is te be His day they must net see it through selfish eyes, or with Ignorant absorbed hearts for their own affairs. It must be tfpen His affairs that they are active and Joyous and full "f life. Like the little Hely Innocents they must run by His side, and seml back His happy glances and call te Him merry childish things nbeut joys they have In common with Him, AND indeed, it is net n leaded tree or piled toys In stockings or a long course dinner or best clothes and rela tives that make Christmas for chil dren. Thep arc the things that make Christmas for the grown-ups who de It all for children. The children's Ohrint mas comes also from the giving of gifts with love and denial of selfishness and a great outpouring of enthusiasm. Fer Hint one day nt least permit them te escort their friend into His own and acclaim Him King of all their world. SARAn D. LOW RIB Virginia 1IOYT GKANT "Well, dear, that's the idea.
