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

paused and regarded
her thoughtfully. "The

"Wtll, you knew, what T mean, dear.
Somehow one doesn't feel like mask

"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

that I can enjoy the wildest tlme nnd
there'll be no criticism or anything.

"I suppose that's se. I'd never

is the idea for the costume?"
"Oh, Paul, a grand idea ; n per

"What's that?"
"A savage woman. Yeu knew, like
the aborigines of Africa or, or some
thing like that." Virginia's geography

"I don't get the grand idea at all.
Yeu don't mean a grass skirt, and a

Virginia giggled delightedly
"Oh, lien'," t-lie cried, "you almost

entry te have full sway, He knew bcttei
than any one. 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.

each year, bringing memories of theso

like it, everybody likes it. And who
could be unhappy en Christmas Eve!
Net I, fclr or madam, nor you, I will

The Weman's
Exchange
A Lighted Tree
Te Hit Editor of Weman's race:
Dear Madam As you have helped
ethers, I ltnew you will help me. I have
a Christmas tree, with electric lights
nnd would like te knew hew many bat
teries te- use en eight lights; also In
what manner te connect them. J. O.
At nn otTlce of the electric company
veu can find out hew te connect theso
lights If you cannot find out where you
buy the batterlesL Unless you are ex
perienced ln'such matters, you had bet
ter net try te connect these lights up
veurself, for you might get an unpleas
ant shock. If you cannot get nn eloc elec eloc
trle man dp net try te de It until you
are perfectly sure that you can maks

thing te tBinper with unless you knew
hew te manage the wires.
Tlianlc veu for your Christmas wishes.
I hepe your Christmas with the pretty

Fer Peer Children
Te (Se JMIter 0 Weman's raec:
Dear Madam I am trimming a tree
for some peer children and at the bot
tom of the tree I would like te fix sort
of a fnrm. Last yenr one company
gave out little pasteboard houses, trees,
etc. New. could you kindly tell ma If
they nre giving them out this vcar and
where I could get one before Christmas
Eve,? The reason I want It Is because
I cannot afford te go through mere
expense. HEADER.
ThlH company that you refer te Is
net giving out the llttle villages this
venr. and I de net knew of anybody
who Is giving out such things. With
very little expense you could make a
frozen "lake" out of a mirror laid flat
en the fleer at the bottom of the tree.
Lay green oh.-esecleth or white te Ieek
like snow ever the frame of the glass
and let It spread out te make n
"field" around the lake. Frest can be
bought nt the five nnd ten cent stores
and Blattered ever It This would cost
only about twenty -five or thirty cents
