A DIPLOMATIC
CHRISTMAS GIFT,
N
um TOW. If I onlr know what to
send Cousin Clnrn I'd be nil
through with my shopping,"
declared Mrs. Grlmsbaw.
"I know whnt I'd like to Bend her.
What sho needs most of all is a good
sized check."
"Then why not make out ono nnd
send it nlong? That's a good Idea."
responded her husband.
"Why. John, you know It wouldn't
do nt nil. It would hurt her feelings
0 Bho'd never get over It. She's such
a proud girl."
"Ridiculous!" expostulated Mr. Grim
uhnw. "llow could It hurt her fool
lngs? We know bIio'b struggling along
to (Mlucate herself, nnd she knows wo
know IU That's no disgrace. She nlno
knows thnt wo hnve more money than
wo know what to do with. Just wrlto
out n check for $500 and be douo with
it."
"I wish I dnrcd." returned Sirs.
Grlmshaw. "Hut you don't know
Clnrn nR well ns I do. It would bo
just llko her to Bend tho check right
Lack. I wouldn't offend her for the
world. She's really a line girl, but she
has Just thnt llttlo utrcnk of false
pride."
"How would It bo to Bend her some
thing handsome, say n sealskin Hack
or something llko that?" suggested
Grlmshaw.
"It wouldn't do nt nil. A girl In her
position must dress harmoniously
IVhcn she wenrs ono thing tlmt'H ex
pensive she must get other things to
match or she looks dowdy."
"It's n foolish wny to look nt It, but
maybe you'ro right." answered her
liusbnnd. "It's n hard problem, but
lento It to me. I'll try to flgurn out
something."
On his wny to the ofUco Grlmshaw
taxed his wits with tho question of
Cousin Clara's present, nnd when ho
returned homo he hunted up bis wlfo

arid told hor ho had solved It. where
upon ho ceremoniously Qshed from his
pocket n largo jewel cano nnd opened
It. revealing n benutlful diamond
brooch.
Mrs. Grlmshaw hold up her hands In
unmixed delight. "Perfectly stun
ning!" sho exclaimed. "Oh. you dear
thlugl It's the most beautiful cluster
I over saw. Rut Christmas isn't hero
yet Why didn't you wnit?"
"My dear child," returned her bus
band fondly, "this brooch Is not for
you. If you wnut ono llko It you may
hnvo It, but this ono la for Cousin
Clara."
"John, how silly! It wouldn't do
at all. Wo talked that all out Oils
morning. It's absurd. Whnt, lu the
naroo of goodness, would n girl In her
position do with n thing of that, sort?"
"It's just tuu thing," paid ha
"Nonsense"
"Never mind. I hnvo nn Idea. I've
thought It nil out very carefully, und
I'm suro It's tho only thing to do."
Thrco days nftcr ChrlstmnB the
Grtmshaws weru still sitting nt the
breakfast table when tho morning mall
arrived.
Mrs. Grlmshaw shuffled tho envel
opes hurriedly "Most all thank ynu
Jotters," 8be explained. "Oh, hero's
ono from Cousin Clara," sho declared,
picking out ono of tho envelopes and
tossing It to her husband, "You open
It. I'm nfrald."
Grlmshaw opened tho euvclopo non
chalantly and read:
'Dear Cousin Mary and Uncle John The
diamond brooch Is perfectly lovely. I am
tickled almost to death. You couldn't
have plonbod mo moro, and I am very,
very grateful t am (jetting along line

"There! What did I toll your dc

"Thnt doesn't menn anything," pro
tested Mrs Grlmshaw. "It's Just nn
ordinary thank you letter llko nil the
rest."
"Of course It means something.
Every word of It Is sincere."
"Then she's moro foolish than I
thought." continued Mrs. Grlmshaw.
"Hero's another letter with n Phila
delphia postmark. I don't know any
one else there. I wonder who it could
bo."
Sho opened nnd rend:
"Mr John Grlnuhnw. New Tork:
"Dear Mnilum Although you don't know
mt I deem It my duty to call your atten
tion to n most unhenrd of piece of In
Gratitude. I happen to know that on
Christmas you sent your cousin. Miss
Clara Parker, n very handsome diamond
brooch, t also happen to know that on
thn day after Christmas sho took tho
brooch and pawned It for the sum of $500.
I havo known Clarn for a Ionic tlmo, nnd
wo have been srnod friends, but I never
thought sho would do such a dreadful
tiling ns that.
"I do not enro to bo known In tho mat
ter, nnd therefore I will not slan my name.
Yours truly, PAIR PLAY."
Mrs. Grlmshaw frowned. "What
did I tell you?" sho demanded. "Of
course she didn't wnnt thnt brooch,
but still 1 don't think she should hnvo
pnwned It nnd especially for bucIi n
small sum. It must bo worth twlco
that."
"Congratnlato your dlplomntlc bus
hnnd, my dear." returned Grlmshaw
blandly. "My plan worked out to a
nicety. I know there wns n wny to
get money to n poor but proud girl
without hurting ber feelings."
"It's mighty cxpcnslvo diplomacy."
"Not at nil. All I hnvo to do now
Is to And some wny of getting hold of
thnt pnwn ticket, redeem the brooch,
and tho transaction Is closed." Ellis
