the house looks cheerful how since
you put up all those decorations, El-
eanor. I—I didn't have the heart to
bring them down from the attic this
year. I never thought you were com-
ing."
Next day mother war not allowed to
cook the big turkey, and the other
good things that go to make up a
real Christmas dinner. And mother
and father boasted to the guests
whom they had Invited In to share the

thought; “something must have hap-

lights going at Christmas."
Her pace increased to a run as con-
