CHRISTMAS
""h..2CCE upon a time there was a llttlo f-
U fairy princess. Tou would not nave
called her a princess, for she did not
live lrta palace, nor wear a golden crown,
nor have a troop of pages to hold up her
long satin train as princesses 'have been
Accustomed to do since time foegan.
To tell the truth, she didn't even know
.that she was a prince'ss herself much less
p. fairy one.
For ages before a wise, old Xalry god-
taothez; called "Dame Nature, had decreed i
lhat all the, children of the royal family j
should ti&ss the early years of their lives .
.disguised as -ugly crawling things, so that J-
they might grow up untoucnea Dy tno
rflattery, and falsity of the court circle.
The 'little princess, of course, knew
nothing, of all this. A maple leaf had
ttoeen iter only cradle, and she lived con
tentedly, .eating of the Juicy leaves and
tasking in the warm sunshine.
There were nolooking glasses to Teflect
(her Ugliness, andier older brothers and
(Bisters had long" com6 Into their inherit
once and gavo her no thought.
She- might have lived thus, who knows
f-faow long, If one day "the Spirit of Ad
tventuro had not whispered in her ear:
"Silly one," ho said, "you know nothing
!'of the beautiful, bright world that lies
spread out Just below you. Tho way is
easy. "Why xlo you fear?"
And the spirit poised on rainbow wings
I cad beckoned her to follow.
Tho temptation answered the longing
in her heart, and she could not resist.
Soon she was slowly making her way
' ,down tho ellra green branches to the
.stouter brown one, till she reached the
road trunk highway that ran straight to
Jthe land of her desire.
Now sho had &een warned again and
again to leave tho maple tree. But the
.spice of danger was only an added pleas
ure to the naughty little princess, and
ehe made her way fearfully through a
pleasant -forest -ot grass blades till she
came to a great level desert of flagstones.
It was smooth and easy to travel upon
end sho know not the peril of passing
feet.
Suddenly a great giant so it seemed to
Sier came striding by. u
"Ugh! Vhai n horrid ugly caterpillar!"
ald a loud voice. "Walt till J kick it
-off the sidewalk."
And a largo foot was lifted and the
poor little princess caught -up bodily,
Jtoseed high in the air, to fall all bruised
land shaken on the friendly grass.
I Here she lay, terrified and suffering for
J many hours, till Bame Nature at last
(took pity on her and came to her help.
A touch of the magic wand soon dis
jpelled the pain, but, alas! could not heal
'her wounded pride.
"Only an ugly caterpillar! Must I al
ways, be only an ugly caterpillar?" she
moaned. "Oh. why was 1 born?"
Again the good godmother brought heal-
HO! FOR THE PIPES AND BOWLS J
CHRISTMAS BUBBLE' PASTIME
Let every gaffer blow his coal.
To warm nls toes at the warden e'dole;
Or llge his pipe, -while all his- soul
Is In his eong of "troll the bowl."
"The bowl," ho rings, "the Jolly bro-wu bow."i
At Merry Christmas tide.
Old English Sons.
THE pipes and bowls that onco -were
thought so indispensable to a proper
enjoyment of Christmas festivities
may still be made the means of enhancing
tho pleasure of such an occasion.
Tho modern bowls need contain, no more
potent a mixture than water, soap and a
little glycerine that is expected by tho
aid. of tho pipes to become transferred
Into ordinary soap bubbles.
If the Toom where the Christmas cele
bration occurs has in it a large open fire
place, it can be used to hang tho stock
ings, one for each child.
If the apartment has no fireplace, one
can be made easily from a large dry
goods box by pasting it over with sheets
of the dark reddish paper used in hard
ware stores. Or it may be painted to
imitate brickwork.

tag. She -saw that the time had come
when the little princess might safely be
told her destiny? So she related the story
-of the enchantment, and promised her
that if she would be patient and, abov
all, obedient, she should surely one day
come into her rightful inheritance as a
princess should.
"But what must I do, dear godmother?1
sho asked.
"Walt and I will tell you. Go back now
to your maple tree and rest and refresh
yourself, for you'll soon need all your
strength."
Jt was an humble and penitent little
princess that found her way slowly up
the trunk highway to her old home among
the maple branches, and a much saddened
and sobered little caterpillar watched
anxiously from day to day for the coming
of her deliverer.
Meanwhile tho nights began to get long
and cold, and the leaves put on their gor
geous Autumnal burial robes.
Then suddenly J)ame Nature appeared.
"Come, little princess, your time is at
side a pair of andirons, if they can be
borrowed, and a bellows and an old-fashioned
farmer's almanac hung on either
side of the" chimney-piece, will complete
the effect. ,
As the children assemble In tho room
slelghbells are heard outsido and then
comes' a knocking at the door.
This being opened, discloses no less a
person than old Santa Claus himself with
his bag of toys.
The toys must be small and, compara
tively speaking, inexpensive ones.
Santa Claus explains the situation by
saying that the character of the heating
apparatus in city homes has changed so
materially that he is now obliged to pay
his annual visits like any ordinary mortal
by coming in at the door.
After this he proceeds at once to busi
ness by Ailing up the stockings hanging
about the chimney-piece.
"While he is doing this, each child is
provided with a clay pipe gaily decorated
with ribbons.
A large bowl is placed upon a table In
the middle of tho room, as shown in tho
position occupied by the black parallelo
gram in Figure 1.
The bowl contains soapy -water, to

hand," she said kindly. "Now you must
1?ay very careful attention and do Just as
I tell you.
"First, you'll need a good, stout leaf,
with a good, strong siem. Yes, that ono
will do. Now roll tho edges of the leaf
together and sew them fast."
"But what shall I sew them with?"
asked the princess. ,
"Wait a bit and I'll show you," and
Dame Nature touched the llttlo princess
Just under the chin with the magic wand
and out flowed a long, silky thread.
Then she showed her how to catch tho
thread with -her caterpillar feet and wind
it around and around the stem of the
leaf till it was fastened tightly to tho
branch. i
"Now you must line the inside," said her
instructor, and In went the llttlo cater
pillar and began weaving busily. In a
marvelously short time the little house
had heavy -silken hangings on every wall.
"'Now draw together the open end,"
commanded Dame Nature.
This done, the good fairy touched the
which a couple of teaspoonfuls of glycer
ine has been added.
From one end of the room to the other,
passing about a foot above the table, is
stretched a cord, as shown by the-black
line in the diagram. Figure 1.
It extends from the large disk at one
end to the other large disk at tho other
end.
The children aro divided into two par
ties, as nearly equal in age and number
as possible.
One of these parties takes its place on
one sido of the line or cord and the other
is arranged in a similar manner on tho
other. ',
..Llttlo bats, such as are shown in Dia
gram No. 2, are given to the children.
These bats consist merely of flat pieces
of wood with the upper and wider part
covered with flannel or with some kind
of wooden fabric on which bubbles will
rest without breaking.
Instead of these bats, common palm
leaf fans covered with flannel can be
used, if necessary.
'In addition to these, two other contriv
ances are provided. These are the bubble
hoopers. ,
They aro ma'de.by fastening a rod into
a wooden stand firmly, as shown in Fig
ure 2.
This drawing also shows in detail how
to notch the free end of tho rod, and how
to fasten a wire hoop in tho notch with a
bit of twine.
The bubble hoopers aro set upon two
chairs, one at each end of the cord that
runs the length of tho room, as shown
in Figure 1.
Two bubble blowers, or bubblers, as they
are called, are chosen. It is their duty to
blow all the bubbles; they stand on oppo
site sides of the table , and blow bubbles
alternately. '
The bubbles are thrown as high into
the air as possible on the side of the cord
on which he or she who blows tho bubble
stands.
The cord that divides tho room length
wise, as is shown in Figuro L Is itself
divided into equal sections, either by
knots in it, papers fastened to it, or lines
crossing It transversely from .one side of
the room to the other.
The bubblers, one beginning at one end
ot the room and the other at tho other.
blow two bubbles in each section of tho
divided cord along its wholo length; then,
returning, they repeat tho operation as
long as the game lasts.
The object of each and every player is"
to drive tho bubble over on the other side
of the cord before it bursts.
If It goes under the cord It does not
count.
The party on whoso side of the cord tho
bubble bursts lose two points, and the
points aro put down to the credit of the
other side. This, of course, necessitates
the presence of a tally-keeper.
If In the last division at elth'er end of
the room a skillful player manages to
Coax ah opponent's bubble unbroken
through a bubble hoop, ho gains 20 for
his side.
The players assigned to tho different di
visions of tho long cord must remain in
the division assigned them. '
When the score of either party amounts
to 100 the game ends. The winning side
is announced, the records of each indi
vidual examined, and the one who shows
tho greatest number of credit marks has
the first choico of gifts, or of the stock
ings which contain them. They, however,
must be chosen without examining their
contents. ,
After all tho players on one side have
received their presents in the order of
their respective records, the other side is
called up and. the process repeated.
Th bubblers always come in third In
their turns on either side, which is only
fair, as they have no chance to make
records.
Boy's Essay on Hens.
A boy who was required to write an es
say on hens produced the following:
"Hens is curious animals; they don't have
no nose nor no teeth nor no ears. They
swallow their whittles whole and chew It
up in their crops ,lnsde of 'cm. The out
side of hens is generally put into plllers
and Into -feather dusters. The Inside of a
hen Is sometimes filled with marbles and
shirt buttons and sich. A -hen is very
much smaller than a good many other
animals, but they'll dig up more tomato
plants than anything that ain't a hen.
Hens Is very useful to lay eggs for plum
puddings. Hens have got wings and can
fly when they get frightened. I cut off
a hen's head with a hatchet, and It fright
ened her to death."

HER OWN
Story
little home with her magic wand. Tho
little caterpillar princess felt her green
gown splitting down the back.
She wriggled out of it, feeling very Queer
and drowsy, for somehow her legseemed
to have vanished with her dress. But be
fore she could wonder further she sank
into a deep, dreamless sleep.
Outside the wind blew colder and colder,
tho leaves fell faster and faster, and Jack
Frost began biting harder and harder, till
all the green things turned brown and
died beneath his rough touch. Then the
snow came and wrapped them In its
fleecy blanket, and the ring of slelghbells
sounded through the air.
But where was the little princess all this
time? For many days after her long sleep
began she swung to and fro In her snug
little cradle. Then one day a small boy
walking through the wood spied her.
"Gee! I believe that is a new cocoon!"
ho exclaimed. "Guess I'll take it home
and see If anything will come out of it."
So he carefully broke off the branch and
carried his treasure home and put It away
y
STORY OF THE CHRISTMAS STOCKING
OF THE KIDNAPED CHILD
g "WANT to hang up my stocking,"
I said tho Kidnaped Child to the
Bold Brigand.
The Bold Brigand rubbed "his hands
awkwardly on his velveteen, trousers and
stared at the Kidnaped Chili
'.'What for?" he asked.
The Kidnaped Child stared back.
"Don't you know that it is Christmas
Eve" she asked, and shook her red curls
at him.
"Tou will get no presents here," said
thq Bold Brigand sternly, and ho went
away and left tho Kidnaped Child in the
dark.
She was in a hammock in a big treo, -as
that was tho only bed that the brigands
could provide for her, and she swung
back and forth and looked at the great
glowing fire with the big iron pot, "from
which rose an appetizing steam. Around
tho flro the dark-faced brigands were
gathered, with red handkerchiefs twisted
around their heads, and knives in their
belts. '
Suddenly tho Kidnaped Child began to
chant:
"1 want to hang I want to hang I want
to hang"
Tho brigands shivered and looked over
their shoulders into the darkness.
Still the creepy song went on:
"I want to hang I want to hang I want
to hang"
The Bold Brigand dropped the spoon
with which he had been stirring the con
tents of tho. kettle and tramped over to
the hammock.
"Hush." he-said, and glared down at the
Kidnaped Child, but she simply looked
at him with big eyes and began again:
"I want to hang I want to hang"
"What?" roared tho Bold Brigand.
"Up my stockIng!'r said the Kidnaped
Child loudly.
"Well, hang It, then." said tho exaspe-
rated Bold Brigand, and the Kidnaped
Child sat up and serenely peeled the red
stocking from her little fat leg.
Then she rolled out of the hammock
and walked to the brink of the high bluff,
which shono white in the moonlight, and
she fastened the stocking to a little, low
bush, that fell over the edge.
"Santa Claus can see it there," she said
and winked at the Bold Brigand,
"Bah!" said tho Bold Brigand, and
picked her up and put her In hqr bed.
She lay still and stuck her dimpled toes
through tho meshes of the hammock, and
sang:
'Thls little plfj went to market.
This little pie cried "Wee, wee, wee,"
j All the .way." '
Sho sjquealed just like a real little pig,
and the sound reached the ears of "the men
at the fire, and one of them said to the
Bold Brigand:
"She is not afraid, Bruno."
The Bold Brigand 'shrugged his shoul
ders. '
"She is an American, my brother," he
said, and the brigands looked at each oth
er as If that settled it.
Presently the Bold Brigand dipped some
of the stew from the big pot, and took
a hunk of bread from tho great bread pan
A
of a Veritable Fairy Who
Appeared In a Modern Home
In a warm place on the nursery mantel.
There it fay as tho months slipped by.
Thanksgiving came with its store of good
things, and December with its promise of
Christmas.
Still the little princess slept on. Would
the good fairy never come to waken, her
from her long-sleep?
One day a bustle of excitement ran
through the house Mysterious packages
found their way to the nursery and busy
fingers tucked them quickly out of sight.

door, and Inquisitive- eyes vainly endea
vored to peep through the keyhole.
If the little- princess only could have
awakened what a tale she might have
told I Alas! she; still slumbered peacefully
In her snug little 'home on the. mantel
shelf. How could she know that a ruddy little
Santa Cltru3 nodded on, one side xjof. her
and a big tiaby doll smiled saucily' on the
other? Near her a huge tree bent under
the weight of beautiful things that it bore.
Fairy-like little dancers in gauzy gar
ments jostled against long-winged angel
trumpeters. Rosy-lipped cherubs and barley-sugar
horses fairly -fought for places
on the branches, Peppermint cones and
gay tinsel showers we're. everywhere, and
a slim waxen taper sat on the tip of
every twig. ,.
J,Wften thfrfirat pale sunbeam came creep?
ng In through 'the dormer 'Windows,
touching all with s6fd. the fairy sod-
mbther softly floated down tho shining
pathway.
She was all clothed In black,, and her
little, wrinkled face was radiant with Joy,
"for- sh'e -loved tho llttlo princess.
The magic wand once more gently
touched the little home. Slowly the ugly,
close-fitting brown garments fell away,
slowly a sleepy little moth princess with
crumpled gown broke through the silken
walls and crawled out into the sunshine.
The ugly caterpillar disguise was gone
indeed, and In Its place appeared a beau
tiful winged being.
Two nodding plumes waved before her
head and two huge wings stretched and
straightened in the sunshine to carry her
whither she would. '
xHer rose-velvet gown was bordered in
rich traceries of black and white and
gray a marvelous mosaic of intricate pat
ternand she bore herself every inch the
princess that she was.
A whiff of barley sugar fragrance
tempted her to try her new-found wings.
Slowly she felt them bear her aloft,
straight to the nearest branch tip, and her
delicate plumes touched the sweetmeat as
she poised before it.
A rush of llttle feet sounded outside
the door, and In ran two little whlte
rdbed figures, breathless with suspense.
"Oh! oh! oh! Santa did come after all!"
shouted one. Then a pair of bright eyes
caught sight of tho llttlo princess.
"Oh, Harold! Harold! Come quick!
See what's hatched out of the cocoon."
To them, she was simply a beautiful
moth. How could they know that a prin
cess had come to her own?
and carried them to the child, .and when
she had eaten he laced the hammock over
her, so that she was in a little web-like
prison, and then he lay down by the fire
and slept, and tho Kidnaped Child and
all the brigands went to sleep, too.
Christmas -day dawned bright and warm,
and just as tho rising sun appeared over
the tip of the bluff, a donkey cart drove
down thefwhlte road at the foot of It, and
out of the donkey cart stepped first a
Gorgeous Gendarme, then a small boy In
white linen.
'Til bet two cents sho is around here
somewhere,", said the small boy.
Tho gendarme raised his eyebrows, but
said nothing. Ever since the small Ameri
can girl had been kidnaped, he had been
dragged from place to place by her per
severlngbrother, always with the hope of
finding hen
"If I had been there when they carried
her off," said the small boy, "there would
have been something doing."
"Tou mean you would have fought?"
Tho Gorgeous Gendarme picked his words
carefully.
"Well." said tho email boy darkly, "I
would have bit 'em hard." .
"They are dangerous men," said the
Gorgeous Gendarme.
"Oh, como off," said tho small boy.
"Tou never lived in Chicago. These aro
white angels to a few we have over there.
If father ever brings xa over to Europe
again, hQ will have to put a tag on Toots.
She is arways getting lost,"
He stopped suddenly and bent his head
far back.
"What's that up there on the bluff?" be
asked.
"It's red," said the Gorgeous Gendarme,
looking up.
The small boy fished 'a pair of opera
glasses out of his pocket, and gave one
long look. -
"It's Toots' stocking. It's Toots' stock-
ing," he cried; "she had on red ones. I'll
bet she thought I might see it. Bless her
heart, she's the, stuff."
"If sho Is up there," said the Gendarme
solemnly, "we cannot reach her, for the
mountain road on tho other side Is Inac
cessible, and one cannot climb up here on
account of tho softness of the sand."
But the small boy did not seem to list
en. All at bnce he whistled. Then he
waited a moment and whistled again.
Soony the curly heaci of the Kidnaped
Child appeared over the top of the bluff.
She had picked out the knot of the cord
that bound her with a pin when she heard
the familiar whistle, but she had not dared
answer It for fear she might wako the
brigands.
She leaned far over the bluff and saw
tho small boy. Her mind worked quickly.
No one could climb up that steepness.-.,
"If I could only slide down," sho
thought
She waved her hand to the small boy
and disappeared. She crept over to the
fire, treading softly between tho rows of
sleeping ruffians, and was soon back at
tho edge of the bluff, dragging with her
the great flat bread pan.
She poised it on the very brink of tho
bluff, then she got Into it, tucked her
small skirts around her and pushed off.
Down, down, down she went, and the
pan gathering Impetus, sent, great clouds
of sand flying. The Kidnapped Child's red
curls waved wildly in the wind, the scared
birds flapped about her head, but she held
on stoutly with both hands as her strange
sled sped on and on.
"Go it. Toots!" the small boy cried ex
citedly, as she "neared the bottom, and he
ran. to catch her- if" she f elL '
But the- Gorgeous Gendarme sat down on
the sand weakly.
""Heavens, these-. Americans !"-he mdr
znurecL Just at that mqment the Bold Brigand
poked his head over the top of the bluff.
Far below he saw a general mix-up of
child and sand." as the pan hit a stone and
spjlled Its 'precious freight.
But the small boy was on hand to help
her, and the Gorgeous Gendarme suddenly
recovered his senses and hustledthem Into
the dpnkey cart and drove "madly toward
safety.
The Bold. Brigand shook his fist at them,
and- all the other", brigands whose evir
faces now fringed the edge3 of the bluff
shook their fists at them.
But the Kidnaped Child thew them a
kiss.
"Keep the stocking," she shrieked, "for
Christmas, you know. Keep It, keep It,
keep it,-" and she pointed to the gay little
object thafc still floated, on, the breeze.
The. Bold Brigand reached out and flung
it after her.
