A CHRISTMAS
A LA MODE.
IT was Rose Mnrlo who. marking
the day of uiy last vinit on the
calendar, made the discovery
that I was to belong to father on
Christmas day.
This may Bound a bit confusing, for
most little girls belong equally to their
parents, but I, Willette Warrlugtou.
don't Ever since I can remember
mother tins lived In our ulce apart
ment In Central I'nrk West, and fa
thcr has lived down In the Fifties,
Just off the oveuue. And I belong to
mother year In nnd year out, except
ing three -days In each month, and for
these three days I belong to father.
When Rose Marie ninde the discov
ery that my next vlHlt to Fifty-something
street would fall upon the 25th
of December she was quite ready to
cry her little blade eyes out.
Father Rent t ho brougham on tho
nirtrnlns of tho 24th.
"lllllle. Illllle, dear!" cried mother.
Hasping me tightly In her arms when
Bho caught sight of the carriage which
was to tnko nie away.
"Don't you want me to godmother?"
) usked a llttlo unsteadily .
"Want you to go!" she mcd. Then
she hesitated and added, very calm
nnd self possessed: "Of course I nl-'
ways want you with me, Bllllo. dear,
but then so does your father want ou.
and for the uext three days you be
long to blm. So I want you to go."
"But now-and tomorrow Christinas
day I Oh, mother, won't I see you to
morrow won't 1 see you on Christmas
day?" I cried, clinging fast to ber
pretty gown.
"I'm afraid not, sweetheart," she
said gently.
"But 1 want you-1 want yon, moth
er, on Chrlstums day of nil days In the
year," 1 sr.ld.
"But don't you want your father,
too, lllllle, dear?" she asked "Oh, 1
know yon do you. must! So run
along, dear llttlo girl, run -quickly!"
She let mo go and pushed nie gently
from her, and I knew by the smile In
her big brown eyes that the tears
were very uear.
Father was walling for nie on the
steps of the Cordova, and when tie
saw the brougham halt under the
marquise and Just one llttlo girl step
out his faco went all n grlu, and he
picked me up and kissed nie.
"Well, well, well! Where's Hose
Marie 7" he asked, and then 1 told lilm
she had stopped at homo.
I wish you could see father's rooms
In the Cordova. They are ever so ulce,
with dark walls and gay rugs and big.
substantial looking furniture. There's
n open Qreplace and a huge old settle
with no end of red cushons In bla den,
aud It Is here we sit of an evening,
side by side, and talk until bedtime.
After we had gone up In tho elevator
to father's apartment be turned to me
and asked me about tho day's pro-
gram.
"I'd like to go down to the shops aft
or luncheon," I told hi in promptly.
"OimhI! Jolly! And suppose we go
down to one of the more quiet of the
big hotels and lunch thoro," he Bald.
He always does think of thu very
nicest things! A big hotel downtown!
After luncheon we entered our han
som again and were Urlveu away to
one of tbe big shops, where, as father
put It, one can buy everything from a
collar button to a steam lauuch. lloso
Marie says men do not like shopping,
but. then. Rose Marie doesn't kuow
everything lu the world, and father
and I had a beautiful time. V
bought all sorts of gifts for Just every
body, und father didn't look while I
elected bis present, and I didn't look
wnne ce selected niluo.
"Now," I suid, as we came out of
the department store, "1 want to buy
mother's gift"
"Why, of course," said father hur
riedly. "What do you want? Where
do yon want to go? I'll tell the cab
by." "I haven't decided what to get" I
said slowly. "What do you think?
Can't you BHggest something, father?"
He shook his head. "I'm afraid I
can't, Billle," he told me quietly. "Get
"OH, MOTHWt," 1 SI10DTKD.
whatever you think your mother will
like I know she will appreciate It all
the more If you select It yourself."
He put me In the hansom and, Jump
ing In himself, told the man to drive
Blowly up the avenue. This would
give me time to decide upon tho pres
ent and where It should be purchased.
1 was wavering between a sot of silver
for her Antoinette desk and a pair of
green niajollcn Jars for her favorite
dwarf pines when our hansom was
caught In a block.
Directly abreast of our hansom was
anolher one, ours going north, our
neighbor's coming south, ami as I turn
ed my head I looked straight Into motli
er'a eyes! She was the sole occupant
of the south coming cab
"Mother!" I shouted 'Oh. mother,
moiher!"
"Blltle!" she cried. W e had both seon
ench other together, Just as we always
see everything together.
"What Is the trouble?" began father
when ho, too, turned his head aud
looked Into mother's lovely eyes.
"llovv-de-do, Will?" she said softly.
I saw father clinch his hands tightly,
then, "How-de-do, Nell?" ho returned.
"Awful block, lsu't It?"
"Oh, very bud!" Bald mother, but she
was looking at me sitting so proudly
at father's side, and presently 1 caught
the suspicion of a tear lu her eyes. Di
rectly a big lump came Id my throat
I Bii v how It was. Mothoi was think
ing of Christmas and of hor little girl,
aud I was sorry, sorry for her and for
father too. The surface cars banged
their bells, the policemen shouted and
the cabbies swore. And all the while
our hansom was Jammed tightly next
to mother's, and we sat staring straight
at each other nnd saying not a word.
Just then a policeman came up tb
mother's hansom and shouted to the
cabby. It seemed that the left wheel
of mother's hansom was locked In the
right wheel of another carriage in such
a way as to render It unsafe to pull
out. The policeman, who of course
knew nothing of our affulrs, said:
Step across Injo the. ttausom next to
you, ma'am, as wneeis are safe, ana
I'm thinking the line will be moving
north first"
Poor mother flushed cruelly and said
not a word, but Just sat there looking
with pleading eyes at father. But fa
ther didn't move, and neither did be
speak, so I took the situation In my
two small hands and said:
"Father, won't you help mother Into
our cabr
Directly I spoke to father be was all
attention and politeness. He stood up
and held out his band to mother and
carefully helped her across into our
hansom. I believe mother would never
have come only she knew that a great
many persons bad beard me and were
watching us. and so she yielded arace
rony, as mother alone "can.
When she was In our cab and sitting
An-arn with me soueezed In between
father and herself, she raised her eye
and said quietly:
"Thank you, WW."
A moment later the line started,
slowly moving northward, and our
hansom went with the others, father
and mother and I were sitting side by
side. It seemed so good Just to think
of It, although I knew it all came of
an accident alone.
After we had gone two blocks up
town, father spoke-very quietly and
with tightly pressed lips
"I'll speak to the man und tell him
to Rtop at the nexi corner Then I'll
get out nnd you und Billle cuu Have the
cub to yourselves"
"There Is no need foi you to get out.
Will." mother told him quickly "It is
I who am the Intruder Have him stop,
please, and I will Hud another nun
soiu." " ,
"1 wouldn't have you do that for the
world." he returned "I shall leave you
at the next corner; tluit is settled."
Mother put out her hand mid let If
rest lightly ot father's arm
"Will." she cried, "please don't make
me feel worse iriaii I ajremli do- I

"Thanks. I will'" cried falher. nnn

As Christian Bible Students The Sat-
Itfsotory Proof of. "Why God Psrmits
Evil." ' v?
One of the question's which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today is.
"Why does Cod permit evil?" As we
look about us in the world we observe
that It Is filled with sorrow nnd trouble,
sickness and pain and every trial we
could enumerate, aud we cunuot help
wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS IT
We realize that He Is almighty and
that He could prevent it if He wished
We read in nis Word that He is more
willing to do for His children than
are earthly parents for theirs, and we
know how much that means; yet of
tentimes it seems that those who try
to do and live right have the most
trouble. This question is made very
clear in a book entitled. "The Divine
Plan of the Ages." Every statement
Is backed by Scripture, and shows that
while God does not sanction evil HE
HAS HAD A PUItrOSE IN ALLOW
ING SIN AND DEATH TO REIGN
THESE SIX THOUSAND YEARS.
This and many other subjects of deep
Interest to all of God's people are dis
cussed fully and In language easy of
comprehension.
