ETZmfl OBSXZTXXOil GBAJTEZ, OKEGflJ 1 Si ! Nrtrl 4$r Once in a year, near the end of the twelfth month, there comes a Cert Night.. .It is a night of happy thoughts cfdft a i'itivarT r.'-ornories.. .Little children go all Loo soon to bed, and the kinaiy old Sandman delays his coming, for a time at least, reluctant to interrupt their childish hopes and fears.. .Grown up folks (for grown folks have a strange habit of sitting up on such important nights) tiptoe stealthy and creepy about the house. The litle empty stockings hang at the Chimney Piece a dear little, quaint little stocking that is all to small to hold the precious things the loving Saint will bring before the dawn will break on Christmas morning perhaps the litle stocking will be a bit larger at each Christmastide, and hang alone. And in years to come, others, and even tinier stocking will bear it company; perhaps there will come a dreary time when the fireplace is bare, when longing eyes turn away and the flickering light will seem hard and cold. But no matter what the years bring and take away, the spirit of friendship and kindness remains. At the end of the busy year, full of effort and struggle, comes the season when Tve forget the tiUls and welcome the cpportuniti33 Trhcn viz count our friends and find them many when we choose for tjaem - remembrances (not hastily and because of their cost, but because of the pleasure they will bring) when we realize to the full that life is worth the living because for once it' is unselfish.
