A CHRISTMAS
WEDDING
By Atvali Jordan Garth
(. 1920, Wrattrn Newspaper I'nlun.)
kT WAS days before Clirldt-
nms and Netta Donne iintl
boon left nlono In the house,
except for the servant. Us
tmlly her favorite plnjrmnte,
Corn Wnllnce, living nenr
by, cnlled for her, and they
took n stroll, or visited a
neighbor, or Inspected tho
nhoiis on the next street. Cora had
not appeared, and taking her dolly
Neltn wandered about tho upper por
tion of tho house In n desultory way.
It was In her sister Winifred's room
that Netta received n suggestion that
she proceeded to carry out. That
young lady In her haste to Join her
mother In n shopping tour had left
nor Jewel vase open In full sight.
"I'll llx you till up for n grand party,
Dolly," prattled Neltn; and then nnd
there In turn n sunburst, n necklnco
nnd n diamond pin were nltachcd to
tho clothing of tho doll, Innocent, art
less Neltn never realizing that slid
was ptnylng with a small fortung.
"Now, we'll rlda to the party In tho
nutoninhlle," announced Neltn further,
pet of capricious netta uonne.
There was a vast commotion at tho
Donne homo that evening. Willis Frcro,
who wns tho accepted lover of pretty
Winifred Donne, made Ills usual call to
be met with tears by his fiancee. Some
one had entered tho houso nnd had
rifled her Jewel easel Father had re
ported It to tho police, but tho re
covery of the gems seemed hopeless.
Willis condoled with Winifred but
had a professional call to make and left
early. Uo was a young, rising physt
clnn, nnd arrived at Grey's tcnementi
to receive good news as to a patient
of long standing, Mrs. Mary Stcadley.
He found her on the rond to recovery,
and told her so, nnd her daughter and
the other children nnd I'nul Martin,
n regular visitor at tho house, wero
made happy nt tho thought of tho
convalescence of their loved one.
"There Is the hnlnnco of your bill
Dr. Krerc," spoko Martin, taking him
Into the next room. "Tho doctors who
operated I havo paid, too, and the lios
tor. The poor tcnovrs appreciation
of what tho Doanes designed fairly
overcamo him. Next day Winifred and
her mother spent decorating the hum
ble tenement rooms and arranging for
tho wedding.
It was a royal gift to honest need,
nnd tho most contented hearts In all
the great city that Christmas night
wero those thnt had bestowed such
signal happiness upon worthy, grate
ful family.
and she put on Dolly's coat, covering
up her opulent adornment. Just then
there was n cull outside nnd Nettn
hastened downstairs to Join Cora,
uniting for her nt tho door. I'nsilng
her mother's room Nettn noticed un
open box lying on the bed. It held n
lovely new doll, nnd In an Instnnt slit
know thnt It was to bo her Christmas
present, for n new onu hnd been prom

"Oh, Coral" exclaimed Netta, ap
pearing before her friend, "look I Inokl
My new Christians dolly. We'll go
right over nnd show It to Allco I.IMc.
The old one Is no good now," nnd shs
recklessly Hung It Into the street, with
uo thought of tho Jewelry It wore.
I'lvo minutes Inter n ragged llttla
urchin picked up tho discarded doll,
"That'll ho n lino present 'for sister

enough to marry Martha tills Christ

"Wo will call tho hill square on

Dr. I'rere, touched by the faithfulness
of thu young mnn. "What are those)'

"It Is something I wanted to nsk you
about," replied Martin. "This morn

Dr. I'rere could scarcely believe bis

the Jewels belonging to bis llnncen. It
wns loo liitonxo n circumstance to
analyze nil at once; Its strangeness;

the Donne house nnd told the story
of I'nul Martin.
"A worthy, honest man," observed
Winifred's rather. "These poor people

Records
Hear How Different They Are!
Different artists different interpretation dif
ferent tones that's what you'll notice in these new
Brunswick Records. Songs that touch the heart,
solos that thrill, instrumental pieces that move you,
record music such as you never heard before.
Brunswick Records unite the talent of the artist
with the genius of the composer.
Into Brunswick Records go the breath and soul of
the artist. Into every one is graven that individu
ality which is seen in the living likeness. Each is a
music picture portraying clearly, distinctly and
artistically the most intense accents the most
delicate shadings.
Compare Brunswick Records
Ask to hear them today. Be their sole judge.
Compare them with others. Look for something en
tirely different in record music. Something greater,
sweeter, richer, truer. You'll find it here in Bruns
wick discs.

A CHRISTMAS
HAVEN
By T. O. AIJrn

N OLD man sat dreamily

Marvin Hughes was looking
linck over the yenrs of his
life and was grave uud sad
dened as he renllzcd that he
had neither chick nor child
of his own, ns tho echo of
music nnd the voices of rollicking chil
dren In the npnrtmcnt overhead were
borne to his cars.
The recognition of the fact that he
was getting old, thnt lie was missing
something In life that might make
him better and happier, appealed to
him powerfully tills Christmas eve.
lie had mechanically distributed tho
usual Christmas largesso at the olltcc.
Homeward bound ha. hnd neglected no
appeal from tho street mendicant
This wns not soul-satlsfying, however.
It had dawned upon him that bo hud
brought his Isolation upon himself;
thnt thcro wero at least two persons
In tho great city who wero of kith nnd
kin nnd ho sot to summing up tho
duty he owed them.
"I havo been no closer to them than
If I were an utter stranger," ho solilo
quized. "It Is my fault, I mippose, for
I havo encouraged neither for years
I have simply sent them tho usual hol
iday check. When I am through with
what I hnvo It must go to others.
Which of tho two deserves recogni
tion Htln Ilnrnes or Albcrtn Nnrrls?
Tin. n- imuwut wns b widow ami
second cousin. Hughes had supplied
tho capital to start her In n bonrdlng
houso nt her urgent request nnd she
bad managed to mnko n living out of
It. For a time he cnlled and sho had
put herself out to mnko upon him nn
Impression of admiration of his suc
cessful business record, of gratitude
for his flnnnclnl co operation, of her
love and devotion for him, the last
near relatlvo sho bad In tho world.
Then, too, sho bad appealed to him
In a strong way. Onco sho hnd tak
en him to n draperled niche off the
sitting room, and had showed him a
life-sized oil pointing of his. dend
mother.
"Sho wns like a sister to me," said
Mrs. Homes pathetically, "nnd you
know brother Willis was quite n por
trait artist. I have nhvnyH treasured
It as tho one precious memento of my
life."
Hushes wns duty touched, but tho
Impression was not lasting. There
was something artlflclnl nnd Insincere
about Kttn Homes. Under the Inllu
enco of his present emotions, howev
er, his softened spirit, longed for loy
al companionship.
"I'll do It I" spoko Hughes. "I shnll
call upon Mrs. Homes nnd Alhortn.
Ono or the other I will endow with
fortune nnd I hope to trace out some
real affection for mo; a genuine glad
ness to welcome mt ns n member of
their household Muring my remaining
few years."
An hour Inter ho entered the homo
of Mrs. Homes. Ho was told that she
was out on an errand nnd wns shown
Into n sitting room. Involuntarily
memory directed htm to tho niche
whero ho had viewed his mother's por
trait. It wns not In place. Then ns
ho glanced Into tho room beyond
Homes snw It lylnc across two chair
used ns nn Ironing board. The shock
drove him to his feet. He hnd fath
omed the Insincerity of this unworthy
rolntlve. Ho wns hnlf-mluded to re
turn home. A memory of the Inst
time he hnd seen Alberta, her mis
band nmt children, however, Influ
enced him to follow out his prescribed
plan.
They hnd nlways lived humbly, bul
respectably. From the day that Ah
den Norrls hud married Alhertn he
had hut one thought In his mind her
comfort and contentment nnd thnt of
the little ones who enmc to them as
tho years passed on.
Well Hughes knew the house, tbo
room brllllnutty lighted, whence ech
oed sounds of Jollity nnd excitement.
Its window wns open for ventilation,
nnd his eyes dimmed ns he viewed tho
hnppy-fnccd Alhertn nnd her huyhand,
the two little girls, nud a baby crawl
ing nbout, cooing with nnlmatlnii.
"Keep Mnrvln away from the can
dles, Alden," be heard Alberta speak,

stowed upon him. "Alberta," lie said,
"I nm lonely nnd uiihnppy. I linvc re
solved to seek some congeiilul hnven
where love nnd sympathy will bring
me peace and contentment. Is It
here."
Willi open nnns sho greeted him,
and nmld Chrlstmns cheer nnd tho lov
