w hA ihHp home.
Katbryu was considered a very dev.
r girl at boarding school and by all
tier legion friends at borne. She could
paint strange birds that a naturalist
would have been at a loss to classify
nd flowers unknown to the science of
botany, do fancy sewing and marvelous
mbroldery and write charming verse,
though, alas, tbe editors were surprls
tturiv obtuse to the latter factl Be
sides which she was able to talk vol
ubly in Krench and could rattle off
tome lively two steps and schottlsches
ca tbe plano-if she bad possessed such
an Instrument
But uone of these accomplishments
were exchangeable for coin of the
realm in tbe little country village on
tbe outskirts of which they lived, and
as tbey had only Tom's meager salary
as a grocer's clerk to fall back on, It
soon came to pass that shabby gar
meats and tbe plulnest of plain fare
were the order of tbe day, In their
iousehold. Kathryn's Augers Itched
to help her brother bear the burden
f support She longed to add ber mite
to tbe family Income, but as yet had
tot struck ber "niche." She did not
know quite enough to teach, and there
was no vacancy In either of the two
village dry goods stores.
On this Christmas eve there was less
than a dollar In the house, and be
sides herself, ber ifOther and Tom,
they bad received notice that seven
guests would be with them for tbe
Cbrlstmns holiday-distant relatives,
who had standing Invitations to "come
tip to our bouse for Christmas some
time," and who by a coincidence bad
chosen tbe same date to accept the in
vitation. There was Aunt Mattle and
ber twin boys, Cousin Wilbur and his
oew wife, Aunt Sue and Uncle niram
-quite a tableful at any time, and cer
tainly an enormous crowd to be provid

SHEN Bobby wrote to Santa Claus,
Inviting him to call,
Bob's mother said that Santa would

Reply to urchins small
Who write a note to Santa Claus,
Expecting him to call.
When Santa Claus got Bobby's note,
He chuckled quite a lot; .. . . c
Down at his typewriter he sat
And wrote an answer, saying that
He'd love to call and have a chat,
He'd be there on the dot;
For somehow Bobby's little note
Had hit his tender spot.
I know not why a typewriter
Was put to such a use.
To answer thus a social note
Would get 'most anybody's goat.
For rank, bad form it has my vote ;
'Twas socially obtuse ;
But Santa is a busy man
And that was his excuse.
On Christmas Santa Claus dmied in,
Down through the chimney flue.
He told such tales of land and sea
That Bobby often murmured "Gee! ''
And Bobby's sister laughed in glee
I'm sure that you would, too;
And if you'd write to Santa Claus,
Perhaps he'd call on you.
