"T*This green vase — the small
one. It should equal a candy dish
any day."
Margie crossed the room to
where Brad was standing. "It’s
very pretty, all right I guess,
maybe it would do. It doesn’t look
damaged — no chips or anything.”
"Whydonyouwrap it Honey.”
Brad-aid. "I’ll Pu ths-cr out
in front and load ithe rest
the packages." 0
None Too Soon
A few minutes later, as he was
climbing out of the car. Brad
noticed a pleasant middle - aged
couple heading up the steps of his
house. He gulped as he recognised
them. That had been a close call!
"Hello. Mr. Simpson!” be called
"Mrs. Simpson! Merry Christmas!
We were just heading over your
way.”
The couple turned to greet him
in Mr. • Simpson’s hand was a
small, neatly-wrapped package.
"We were just bringing your
gift by,” Mr. Simpson said. "Merry
Christmas to you.”
“Won’t you come in?” asked
Brad. “Margie has your present
inside.” He crossed his Angers
He HOPED Margie had wrapped
the green vase by now.
As usual, Margie had taken care
of her little task with wifely dis
patch The vase was wrapped and
waiting on the living room table
Inwardly feeling a great surge of
relief. Brad handed the package
to the Simpsons
Truth Awakens
When the thank-you’s had been
exchanged and a few moments
properly dedicated to small talk,
the Simpsons excused themselves,
stating that they had a number
of calls yet to make.
As Margie closed the door be-
hind them she burst into giggles
"Gollyi That’s one time my bus-
band was on the job. We would
have felt just horrible to slight
them again this year. They are
sensitive, rm glad you talked me
Into giving them the vase. I won-
der what they gave us?"
“That’s easy to And out," said
Bred. He tore eagerly at the
wrapping on the Simpson’s pres
“No. be said when it was opened
"Oh no!”
He held <9 a candy dish.
"They gave us the same thing
as lest year.”
"Margie looked thoughtful.
•That’s funny," she mused. I
wonder why they dia that."

"TOMORROW was Christmas and
1 Tommy was worried. It hadn’t
snowed at all, and if there was
no snow to shovel, how could he
make any money for Christmas?
Tommy lived in the neat farm
cottage with his Uncle Pete and
Aunt Lucy. Aunt Lucy had just
told him he could go over and see
Jimmy Reeder but be sure to be
back by five o’clock. So Tommy
started walking slowly toward the
Reader farm, as he bad a lot of
thinking to do.
In the small sitting room Aunt
Lucy and Unde Pete were talk-
ing. Aunt Lucy insisted that two
dollars was an awful lot to pay
for a dog. They were poor people
after all and could only afford
to give Tommy sensible things.
Uncle Pete thought Tommy
should have the puppy he wanted.
He was only seven, and needed a
playmate.
Tommy was walking along still
slowly, trying not to think how
wonderful it would be if he could
have this little puppy. His name
was Blake, and he was a runt;
that’s why be cost only two dol-
lars. Tommy thought bow the pup
would frolic along beside him and
wag his tan, and bow they’d race
over the fields when spring was
here. But no use thinking about
Blaze. He had to get a job.
It was when he was passing the
big house where Mr. Robert That-

I am become as sounding brass,
