That will queer you with the owners.” She turned and left him in silence. Back at the bungalow Marcia tum bled the contents of her clothes closet while talking rapidly to her maid, Ninette. “Isn’t it lucky that I taught you those chords, Ninette?” The camp men, grumbling around the fire, fell into a sudden silence as the gay plink-a-plunk of a banjo sounded in the clearing. Gebert, surly gang leader, jerked out his pipe. “Listen, boys!” Down the hill Marcia came gaily, her fingers bringing jolly notes from the strings. The frosty air echoed and re-echoed as Ninette joined in. “I know that,” declared Gebert. Carried along by memories, the men joined in, forgetting the loneli ness of the Christmas eve, forget ting their fancied troubles. ' Marcia had come to the very edge of the great fire and stood there picking at the strings. Above her towered the man she loved, just be yond her stood the men in a semi- circle, their unshaven faces lighted by a mutual love of music. “How many of you play small in struments?” she asked softly. The answers brought a quick smile to her lips. “I thought there would be many of you to help me out,” she cried. “I want to have a string-band,” hurried on Marcia, “and I need vol unteers. A violin, maybe two or three. A guitar—” “I play the flute,” interrupted Jacques. “At home 1 have an accordion.” came a wistful voice, ’ but—” "Fine,” interrupted Marcia. “I have, tonight, made out an order that should have been mailed soon er. It is my Christmas gift to our men. The order is for musical in struments. I wish each man would write down his instrument and give it to me. With luck we should have the orders filled in three days and we’ll practice hard so that New Year’s day may find us ready. How about it?” There was an instant response as hardened palms came together. Just beyond the pines a wolf howled, but Marcia was looking up into her lover’s eyes. Because of its light weight, alum inum is widely used in hairdressing equipment, such as curlers, clamps and permanent waving machines. Among our assets we would like to count the only one that money can not buy— your good will. “Why stay out here when I want you Dr. I. C.

They are more numerous by far than we had imagined, for which we should be duly grateful. The Chinese take it for granted that the Burma Road will have such frequent washouts in mountain passes in rainy months that working squads must be on duty along the way. And the employees and members of this concern are grateful to you for the happy relationship we have enjoyed during the year, and pledge ourselves to strive still more ear nestly to deserve your continued friendship.

Your wages are good here.” The foreman of the lumber gang sneered. “Say, money ain’t every thing. We want to get back to town and we’re going.” He slouched back to the tent and joined the crowd of surly men around the great camp- fire. From the log bungalow beyond the camp twinkled many lights. Orrek stared at the Christmas candles. Marcia had placed them there, say ing they brought peace to the house hold. And now, with his men walking (Associated Newspapers—WNU Service.» out on him, Marcia would be lost to him. Wrapping Small Gifts A skimming sound on the firm An unusual way to wrap a num snow aroused him and Marcia, a gay little figure in her white furs, caught ber of small gifts that are to be at his arm and came to a stand- given in a good-sized Christmas box is to tuck each one in an envelope made of either plain red, holly, sil ver or gold paper. Wrap each gift first in plain white tissue paper, folded in envelope style, and seal the flaps of both the inner and outer envelopes with contrasting seals.

A bridge table when his future career was toppling down! “Orrek, what’s wrong with the men?” she asked. “My maid told me there had been a row there.” Orrek’s eyes blazed as he tucked the small hand under his arm.
