Dnlny slept peacefully, with her curls Tailing over her eyes, hut Buttercup woke with a Ktnrt to liehold a terrible Sight. Snntn Clniis was putting a new wax doll Into Daisy's stocking and pin ning a pnper doll on the outHidc. Then he Btooped mid laid scvernl boxes on the floor and In another moment he had disappeared. Buttercup Rtnrcd with wide open eyes and a heart full of hntrcd. She had a rlvnl! a falr-halred, blue-eyed rival with pink checks and a pink dress trimmed with while fur. She did not mind the paper doll, even though he had a full crinkled skirt and a frosted bodice, for Buttercup knew Jhat paper dolls may look very sninrt at Christmas, but they soon grow dirty mid mo not a bit nice to cuildlc. It Was the new wax doll that Buttercup hated, for she knew that beside this fresh young beauty her own checks would look pale and dented: her hair would look thin and straggly; her clothes would look dowdy and tumbled. "She will take my place," said But tercup bitterly to herself: "she will rldo in my carriage ami sit In iny chuir and sleep in my bed. Yes, I daro say she'll wear that new necklace that's in my stocking. Even If she doesn't, I'm wa I don't want It. 1 suppose they vnnt to bribe me with a new necklace to make me believe they love me so much, while nil the time they will fuss over that creature, and give her every thing." "Buttercup stopped talking to herself because she henrd the new was doll beginning to talk to the paper doll. The wax doll had been placed In ..ie stocking In such a way that she could not see Buttercup unless she turned round a little, but she could look right Into the cot where Daisy was sleeping "Oh, Isu't she pretty?" said the wax doll to the paper doll. "I'm sure she la such a nice llttlo girl. It was so klud of dear Santa Claus to lenvo mo here." "I shnn't stay and see that creature welcomed," said Buttercup; "I shall run away." Sho got softly out of the carriage and stole very gently into the next room. Buttercup peeped Into the toy cup Vr'wAi JACK IK m BOX THAT SFOKB." board and told the Toys what had hap pened.

"1 don't suppose you would bo a bit sorry If I hud to drink out of the cracked cup." "It's a grent shnmo, Buttercup; I can quite understand your feelings." It wns Jack-ln-the-Box that spoke. Daisy did not like his ugly face, nml never played with him, so he had been in a corner of the cupboard for months. Buttercup looked at the Jiiok ln the Box nml was not quite sure what to say. She felt angry that a common Jack-ln-thc-ltox should dare to say he understood the feelings of o real wax doll, the chief favorite In the nursery. On the other hand, Jack's sympathy wns very sweet, especially as tho Tea Things showed themselves so unfeel ing. The lid of the Nonli'o Ark was closed, mid the furry rabbit seemed to he paying no attention. "Thank you. Jack," said Buttercup (If jilt t 51 I!

"You should run away," advised the Jack-in-thc-Box; "let them see you care nothing for them. That's what I do. I meditiUo hero In my corner, instead of Joining in foolish games." "I don't need anybody to ndviso mc to run away," said Buttercup. "I de cided that before; only I came here to say good-bye first." Buttercup left tho toy cupboard and went through the hall into Win spare bedroom. The wnrdrobe door wns not fastened nnd she peeped in. Hanging on tho hooks were pnrty dresses be longing to Daisy, an old ono and a new one, the silk dress that Daisy's mother went to parties In, and an old brown dress. "May I come In?" said Buttercup, speaklug to the silk dress becnuso it was the best in tho wnrdrobe. "You must auk tho brown dress; she Is mistress here," said tho silk dress. Buttercup was rather astonished, but sho turned to the brown dress and re pented her request. "Certainly," said tho brown dress. "I don't know you, hut I suppose you belong to Daisy." All down the front of tho brown dress and on tho sleeves there were great holes, and as Buttercup looked ut them sho wondered why nn old-fashioned cloth dress with holes in it should be of more Importance than the beautiful silk dress. Terhnpa the silk dress guessed what she was thinking, for It said: "Do you" know why we th'uk go much of the brown dress?" f "No!" suld Buttercup. "Will yoitcll roe?" "More than a year ago," said tho silk dress, "Daisy get herself on lire, and perhaps sho would have been burned to death if her mother had not caught bcr up and put out the flames with her own dress. That la why Dulsy'a moth er loves tho brown dress more thun any other she bag got. If I had been there I could not have put out the names nearly no well, because I am tbln, but the brown dresa la thick, and so Daisy waa hardly hurt at all." "I remeiniicr Daisy In bed because the had got burnt," said Buttercup; "It was then that her father bought me for her, hut I never heard how it hap pened." Then all tho dresses began talking Tnn dolls' dinner fartt. about Daisy, and the brown dress said how dreadful It was when Daisy's pin afore hinged up. and Buttercup was astonished to llnd that Daisy's old party dress seemed to be quite as fond of her as the new party dress was. Buttercup had expected to find the old purty dress cross becnuso it waa no longer the best, hut when alio heard It talking in such it friendly way to the new dress she snld nothing about her own troubles. Sho sat in a corner of tho wardrobe and thought of the first day sho had spent with Dnlsy, and how hnppy they were, nnd how her hair got rumpled In the bed aud never looked quite nice again. Now wo must hoar about Daisy. When shu awoke, nml found all her presents sho was so hnppy nnd excited that at iirst she did not miss Butter- cup. After breakfast she began ar ranging all her dolls and toys, both old and new, In a comer of the nursery for their Christinas party. Sho looked for Buttercup In the, toy cupboard and all round the nursery, and asked her nurse where Buttercup could be, but "l'U 80 OLAD I FOUND YOU." the nurse said there was no tlmo to look for her Just then, as they must get ready for church. It was dinner time when they got back from church, and It was only when Dnlsy went Into the nursery again after dinner that she thought about Buttercup. Daisy's cousins were coming to ten, and she meant to have all tho dolls ready so that there might he n grand pnrty but where was But tercup? Dnlsy hunted nnd nurse hunted, and when Daisy's mother enme came Into the nursery she found her little girl looking very tinhnppy. Then Daisy nnd her mother looked In the dining room nnd the drawing room and the kitchen, and last of nil they looked In the spare bedroom, and there they found Buttercup In a corner of the wnrdrobe. "Oh, my denr, denr Buttercup!" snld Dnlsy, hugging her In her arms. "I'm so glad I've found you. I cnuutdn't have hnd a Christmas party at all with out yoil." "Aren't you going to put your new doll In the best seat?" asked Daisy's mother. "Oh, no. She's a very pretty doll, and I love her very much already, but I couldn't put her In Buttercup's chnlr." You enn Imagine how nshmned of herself Buttercup felt when she henrd this. The new wnx doll wns slttmg at Daisy's right hand. "I's so pleased to see you," snld she to Buttercup; "nil the other dolls have been telling me about you." Then Buttercup felt more ashamed of herself than ever. Dnlsy nnd her cousins came In, nnd the dolls' dinner party began, nnd they hnd a very hnppy afternoon. Mall and Express. by Bouguerau. CHRISTIAS MENU.

The story of how the mistletoe gets on the trees Is a most Interesting one. Covering the mistletoe twigs are pear ly white berries.

Now when a robin eats n cherry lie swallows sim ply the meat mid flips the stone away. f ho seed of the mistletoe the bird can not (lip. It Is sticky nnd holds to his bill. Ills only resource Is to wipe it off, nnd he does so. leaving It sticking to the branches of the tree nn which ho Is sitting at the time. This seed sprouts after n time, and not finding earth which Indeed Its miccstrril habit has made It cease wanting It sinks Its roots Into the bark of the tree nml hunts there for the pipes that carry the sap. Now the sap In the bark In tho very richest In the tree, far richer than that in the wood, and the mistle toe gels from Its host the choicest of food. With a strange foresight It does not throw its leaves nwny, ns do most parnslles, but keeps them to use In winter, when the tree Is lea (less. Pro fessor 8. C. Schmucker, In tho Ladles' Home Journal.
