Harley Davis was always wanting something. He knew Christmas was only two weeks off, but he just itched to buy a gondola car for his electric train. One day he ditched his little sister. Charlene. and hur- ried down town. He spent his entire monthly allowance and all his sav- ings for a. blue gondola car. Harley hoped his mother wouldn't be an- gry because he had been gone all afternoon. Contrary to his expectations. Mrs. Davis was jovial. teasing him, and even, to his immense relief. keep- ing Charlene away from his pack- age. Charlene was five and a pest to Harley, because he was nine and grown up. Helping mother with the dishes that night was almost fun, Harley thought; she was so friendly and nice. Then it happen- ed. "Harley," his mother said ten- derly, "Don't tell me what you bought unless you want to, but what did youiget for Charlene?" Harley was stunned. He wished

This is an "all-evening" game- one that goes on regardless of what else is taking place. Upon lenterlng the home. a. little enve- lope containing three or four jelly beans is pinned on to the dress or coat of each person attending the party. The idea is to keep from losing the beans by refusing to say "Yes" (or any other given word;

”I bought a gondola car."

"Oh," she wiped a plate slowly. "I thought you had been Christmas shonplng"

Harley was stunned. He wish- ed she wouldn't smile at him.

"I guess I spent all my money: I guess I sort of forgot about Christnms presents." Harley hunk his head.

"Yes, I guess you did." she an- swered and that was all she said about it, but he felt terrible. He didn't even unwrap his new car.

Gee. he'd really pulled a dumb trick this time, Harley thought miserably. He'd always bought them presents. but he'd completely for- gotten it. Well, he'd have to earn

the whole evening. Innocent ques- tions like, "Have you lost anyl beans?" will cause the one 1eply- ing to say "Yes", and lose another. The word may be changed later. on in the evening to confuse the players.

HOLLY SUPERSTITION

Husbands and wives! Attention! There is an old superstition about, holly that will interest you. It was! a belief of the ancients that the first to bring Christmas holly into the house. either husband or wife. would be the one to rule the house- hold durlng the ensuing year.

.But don't put too much stock in the belief. Like other Christmas legends. the truth might be lost in history. '

The Druids were great admirers of the holly plant. They believed that its evergreen leaves attested to the fact that it was never de- serted by the sun, and was there- fore sacred. -

Legends have related how the crown of thorns was plaited from holly. The leaves of the plant were white until the Crucifixion. after which they fumed a deep. blood red.

A holly wreath placed on the door iivbeiieved enough to frighten

some money: even his piizE.V bani: was empty. He earned a quarter the next morning shoveling snow. but he had to take care of Charlene most of the time. I

He tried to get a jcub theInext day. with no luck. and -when he found a dime in the snow Charlene grabbed it. yelling "Finders keep- ers . . He was so furious. he felt like choking her. Instead he made her a big snow house on the side- walk. right in everybody's way. but people didn't seem to mind. Then the apartment lady with her little girls stopped to admire it.

"How old are you. Harley?" she asked. t

"Nine." he said proudly.

"I wonder," she smiled. "I won- der lf you could take care of my little girls this afternoon?

Harley started to tell her gosh no. but she interrupted. saying she'd pay him 25c an hour. Harley was so surprised he leaned against the snow house. knocking part of it down. "Why sure.' I'd be glad to," he said. 2

Harley worked hard that after- noon. doing everything three little girls could think of and he could build. Once in a while the lady would wave to him from the apart- ment window. but he was usually tool busy to look up. She paid him a whole dollar and asked if he would take care of the children again the next day. Harley, tired as he was. managed to say "Yes". His mother teased him about being a baby sitter. and was he going to charge her for taking care of Char- lene? Harley didn't mind; after all he had a cashcspital of 31.25.

Although it ruined the following day, Harley earned another dollar taking care of the little girls in the apartment.

That afternoon. with his moth- er's blessing: he went Christmas shopping. He felt proud to pay for the presents with money he had earned. He had the packages gift- wrapped and put them under the tree without telling his mother what he had gotten.

Christmas morning the floor was littered with gay parpers. children's toys and Harley's electric train. He opened the box and put the gon- dola on the track., It looked keen.

Then mother handed him another Da-okage. "I bought you It gondola car a long time ago." she explain- ed. "But of course I had to return it.' I thinl: you've earned this. though."

Harley grinned at his mother as
