THE OREGON SUNDAY- JOURNAL. PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 23, 4917. . 13 Fairy Bride With Mania Ey Dorothy Dahua ONCE upon a time there lived a fairy in the middle of the greenest woods all the world, and she' wu tbe most beautiful fairy that you have ever seen. Her hair was black and she always had ' a little cf-own cf bluebells on her head. Her face was white, and her eyes were .dark .gray. 1 .. Her dress was usually made out of the- stuff -thai spiders spin low down on the ground v. hen they are sure that It is not going to rain. She always sprinkled dw all over herself before she went out. and that made her shine so brightly in the fun that sometimes it hurt to look at her. It 17 h 27'.. M1 39 4' 8 8 33 4 .37 5 f 31 3Z J WS& Of course, she lived in a flower, the way that all the "other fairies do, but ' she never stayed in the same flower two days in succession, because, she hated housekeeping. So the minute her house got untidy and her dishes got dirty (acorn dishes, of course, the very small est ones) she would move on to an other house. Now, this was all very well when she just lived by herself, because she only had to move her own belongings, and she knew when she was. going to' move. But when she was about six days old she went and got married to a very handsome fairy. And then I can tell . you that tt was a different '. matter, -because when her poor, hand jsome young husband came home at night all tired out from combing out -. the dandelions that was his business. r and a very distinguished profitable ' and found ! business it is in fairyland ' that his wife had decided to move and had left his little home in a shocking mese. with no food or hot. water, he . had to hunt for his dinner. ' Of course, he used to get very angry, but-she would only laugh and shake her ' bluebells at him. She knew that she was so pretty that he could never bear to leave her. And he couldn't, as a mat- . ter of fact, because he loved her so. But he grew very white and thin and' found 'it . harder every day to comb out . the dandelions. And then A. jack in the pulpit 'brought adittl t fairy baby to their house. The parents were both so happy that, they gave a party for all the fairies In that neighborhood and showed off the " baby. And everybody said, "Well. I . guess that now you will, stay in the . same house for a few weeks at a time, . because it is so bad for babies to be moved around." But none of them knew Just how much that fairy wife hated housekeep ing. She- kept light on moving. On night her husband looked her firmly In the eyes and said In a de .; termjned voice : "See here. Friesetta (that was her name), if I come home to this house to- night and find that you have gone I shall take our child and put It in a s bunnery." - . ' .." A bunnery in fairyland la a school. and it is very strict. Indeed. No child Is allowed to have more than one dew : drop, to take a bath in. and they are pnly allowed to play one thousandth of - a second a day: To be sure, they are allowed to go out ' for rides on birds backs every once in a while, hut' then they always have to - nave - the teachers with them. They have, to make all their own clothes, The mother was frightened at that - awrui threat, and so after her husband . had eaten his pollen and gone down to - , work ah took her little child by th hand and they went out and looked for -. - a permanent house. They decided on a yellow cowslip. And there the whole lamiiy nas lived hannilv for Kimnn .. ana billions of years, and they have never moved once It all just goes, to show that you have to he firm with a woman, ask papa If that isn't so.

Christmas Story By Georgette Faulkner j I OXO long ago, one still, cold night. some sheoherds were out on the I hillside, watching their sheep when they were startled by a bright light which shone about them,; and an anger of the Lord came down to them. Th? shepherds were very frightened, but the angel spoke to them and said : "Fear not; for behold. I bring you glad tidings of great joy, for unto you is born this day. In the city af David, a Savior, which la Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you. Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swad dling clothes, lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the an gel a multitude of the heavenly host. praising God and Blnging "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men. And when the angels were gone from mem inio ucuvbii uie oiiepiicrus bwu iu one another: "Let us go to Bethlehem and see Jthls child." Then the shepherds made ready to go to find the King, and one took a little lamb as his gift and another took some homemade cheese, and another had a loaf of barley bread and a handful of dried fruit. Now, there was a little girl out on the hillside watchlns. She had come with her father to guard the sheep, and she had seen the wondrous heavenly vision. When the shepherds took their gifts and went down the hillside she followed them. Soon the shepherds reached the hill side stable ajid there they stopped and offered their humble gifts. The child was unhappy. She looked at her empty brown hands and a sob came to her throat. She had come so far, but how could she go in to worship this Infant King when she had no gift to offer? The shephers bared their heads and silenty entered the lowly stable. The little girl crept near to the door and peeped In for a moment. In the soft light she saw a young mother, her head bent low over a tiny babe, and behind her an ox and an ass feeding from a low manger. The little girl stood on tiptoe and tried to see the baby. Then she threw herself down on the hard ground and, burying her head In her arms, she sobbed. She could not see tbe baby because she had no -gift of love for him. ' About Sugar By Garrett P. Serviss. THE importance of sugar in th world, when the natlona mm a rrim Ka gins to impress th Imagination very forcibly. When wa had augar to throw away nobody asked where it came from, but now everybody wants to know not only where the sugar comes from, but what chances there are of increasing the supply. Moreover, we ar very glad now to use the golden brown and choco late brown sugar of our grandmothers. .There ar five well known sources of sugar, via : Sugar cane, sugar beets,' sor ghum, sugar palms and sugar maples :. Of these, sugar canes and sugar beets ar. by far the most Important. The world's crop of the year 1909-10 amount ed to 10,787,000 tons of can augar and ,505,000 tons of beet augar. This was slightly above the average of the pre ceding seven, years. Of the total th United States produced 1.105.000 tons of can sugar and 192.000 tons of beet su gar. - All of Europe produced only li, 000 tons of can augar and that was don in Spain but Germany alone pro duced 2,000,000 tons of beet augar and PAustria-Hungary seconded her with 1,240,000 tons, while Franc produced 812,000 tons. ; : Europe Is' emphatically th land of th augar beet, while Asia (where it had Its origin),- la that of the augar can. America standing- second In the can column. In th crop year above men tioned the total production of can sugar in Asia was 6.232,000 tons, th share of th British Asiatic dependencies being 6,700,000 tons. The total for all America, North and South, waa fe50,000 tons, and to this Cuba's contribution was 1,700,0001 tons. . -,r- ' - - .- . -. v '-"'-. - ' ' ' - Beets average from 10 to It percent of sugar and. th sugar yield per acr is on the average about the same for cane. Some xperimntal plantings in England hav yielded aa much aa four tpns per - acre. : Aa already remarked a For Little Folks p y th. door opened and th. shepherds passed out. closing the door aJn Quickly. Then they went aown tne roaa witn slow ana reverent, steps, and they told every one that they met of all that they had seen and heard. 1 but they did not notice the little girl, She had crept so close to the wall that they did not see her. and when they started back she did not try to fol- low them. Her tears rolled down her cheeks and fell upon the hard, cold ground. , The Christmas angel was watching the child, and as her tears fell th an- gel blessed the tear drops. The child did not see the angel hovering over her, but she felt comforted and stopped cry- lng, and then she looked down on th ground In surprise. She held her breath ! In wonder, for she saw that wherever a tear had fallen and thawed the frosen earth a small green shoot was spring- lng up.

"" GIFT OF GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY By Ada Patterson 1 IITORDS roll glibly from our tongues ' without either speaker or listener giving much hoed to . th meanings behind them. For Instance, what do w mean by "growing old gracefully"? 8uppoae we consider some examples of that manner of growing old. A phy sician of 94 years, stUl "keeping office hours." still holding a dignified position among his fellows, said h believed be was 94 years young, because he was Interested In what was going on In the world about him. "I ilk to read th newspapers." ha said, "and I anjoy exciting novels. I always want to know what happens next." I found Sarah Bernhardt. 72 and mlnua a leg and a kidney, convalescing at Long Beach.

J t 1t W-AV old gracefully.'' From these examples and others Uka them you and I know we may deduce that growing old gracefully consists In being interested In persons and things and la looking about one instead of looking back. Looking forward is rec ommended by th triumphant Bern hardt. But sh Is sustained by th be lief that eh will live to th aga of 100. year. If you advise your elderly friends to look forward they will emit at you for your pains. Looking for ward, they think. Is looking Into an open grave their own. But they (an look about them. And. looking about them, they see what? , They see children enjoying th pleas ures and suffering th pains of child hood. And what tragedlea those pains ar to th llttl ones not yet inured to ajiffaring! They sea youths and maidens solving th mysteries of love and ambition. Thay so maUir nan and women bearing th burden of th day la th anxletla of parenthood and the struggle for a livelihood and for the "comfortable circumstances'., that are th goal of all Americana. Growing old awkwardly is shutting the gates of th heart against the and tbelr problem.
