What do you think about when you hear the word "Christmas" mentioned or see it, in print? Do you immediately think about pin-- tles or Christmas presents, about hanging up your stockings, or dec- orating the house with holly and mistletoe. about holidays or panto- mlmes? Or is it just a mixture of everything nice in your mind? Have you ever thought what lots of exciting things there are con-

nected with Christmas? Just take .

the word itself, and‘ you will see that the letters forming the word "Christmas" stands for a few of them.

C stands for Crackers.

H stands for Holly.

R. stands for Red berries or the Red of Father Christmasts robe.

I stands for Ice.

S stands for Snow.

T stands for Tree-the Christ.- mas tree. of course.

Writing about parties reminds me: Have you ever elven a fancy dress party? It is not a great deal of trouble. and it costs no more than an ordmary party, and it is such fun. When you send out the invitations to your friends you can print in one corner: "Fancy dress. Not to cost more than 2s. lid." Then your friends will have to put on their thinking caps and see what they can make that will not cost i; penny more than half-a- crcmm.

—NEW LOVE-—

By ELSA GODFREY

.13

Molly Brand looked at her re- ﬂection ln the long mirror, and turned slowly; a. touch here and there and she was at last satisﬁed that her coat. hung correctly, that her fur framed her lace in the most becoming way.

Nothing wrong with her figure anyway; nor with her small sien- der feet-buv-a little reluctantly, she pulled the hanging lamp quite low and ruthlessly pushed back the shade. In the unkind glare of the bar-ed light she scrutinised her lace with the utmost care.

Here and there she could trace the pattern of the years; a little sagging, a tiny wrinkle; too pale, with lips merging into the colour of her skin, instead of being warm- ly red.

Rummaging in the drawer. she found a pot of rouge and a lipstick and made use of them very dis- creetly, looking rather like a. schoolgirl pretending to be grown up. She wasn't used to them, and hadn't the deft ways of the so- phisticated modems-a lick here and a pat there. Dan didn't ap- prove of cosmetics, but tonight she felt she was justified, especially as she saw how great was the im- provement, for tonight Dan was coming home at last and she wanted to look her very best.

While she pulled on her new white gloves, she glanced once more at Dan's letter.

"I don't suppose you've still got. that jolly little brown hat I liked so much, but get one like it, there's a dear. I'll be with you about 7.30 and we'll go out to dinner. We won't be bothered with cooking and washing up on our ﬁrst night together again."

N0, she certainly hadn't got the brown hat—hcw like a maul-Dan had been away over a year, but she thought he would like the one she had chosen with such care and deliberation. The assistant had said it was ‘most becoming, moddom’ and took ten years oﬁ her age.

Still toying with those little last minute touches that make such a world of difference, and frequently cause women w be late for their Bllnolntments, Molly wondered if Dan would see the lines that were growing more noticeable round her eyes and mouth.

And what would he be like after so long in Paris? Would he ﬁnd her dull now, because she had stayed quietly in her own home, just waiting for him? Fascinating little French girls! How could Molly hold her own with them? Slie sighed as she thought oi the gulf of years between her and Dan.

Ever since her husband had left her for good, Molly had given hcr- self wholeheartedly to Dan _- all her thoughts and iill her love and care. She had wrapped herself in him to the exclusion of everyone else, ﬁnding in him the happiness and affection she had missed in the hard and difficult years with Arthur Brand.

Now she wondered for the ﬁrst time if she had been WilOlly ivise in her selfless thought for him. This year alone had taught her how empty was her life without him, and if some girl, someone Iri- volous, amusing, light-hearted and —more his own age-should claim him now! Could she bring herself to give him up to her if she felt ‘that his happiness depended upon

Till now he had always preferred her company to any other. But would that always be so? Molly feared in the depths of her heart that it could not last for ever. The older woman must in the end give way to the younger._ Yet life with- out Dan at her side, without Dan

to care for, cosset and contrive for, .

would be-just not worth living.

Fidgeting about the room, stop- ping by the glass to givehér hat a pull, to tuck in a stray huir, Molly waited. hardly able to bear her impatience and her eager anticl- lwtlvn. and as the inﬁnitely slow- movlflﬂ hand reached the quarter, she drew back the blind. and looked up the road for the forticth time. He was due to arrive at any moment now.

Her anxious heart beat more quickly, and fearful grew the im- ages in her mind of the horrid possibilities that menaced their re- unlcn-images of accident and sudden death. Would he never come?

"Oh. hurry, hurry," cried her heart. and it seemed to her that the Very urgency of her wish would carry a message to him

bon is put across the “box," tied in a big row in the, middle. Gypsies and costers are easy to dress and do not. cost much. Beads and col- oured handkerchiefs are needed for the one, and lots of pearl buttons and old ostrich feathers for the other. Boys look very well as cos- tera or p’rates or chimney sweeps.

Even if it is only a srriall party. arrange for a march past the host and hostess of all the guests in their fancy costumes, and get someone who is a stranger to most of the boys and girls to judge which is the best or most original. and give a small prim.

Now m‘ ﬂames for the party.

wherever he might be. He knew her need of him.

What would he be like now?

Would the months have changed him so much? Had he met anyone who could oust her from his heart? His letters, frequent and loving as they were, told her so little of his inward sell, his real life, but sure- ly she would have known-it must have crept in and made itself felt —if some other woman had.‘ come to take her place. ‘ A taxi swung round the corner of the road while she stared into the lamp-splashed darkness of the road, and Molly's hot ﬁngers clut- ched the curtain.

Was this he? No-—the cab was going oil-yes, it was; the driver braked suddenly and swung across the road as his passenger called out of the window so suddenly that Molly's heart was fearful for his safety.

“Oh, my dear, my dear—" she murmured-"home at last!"

She was on the stairs when the bell rang-followed by a mighty rapping on the knocker, in just the old way.

Running now, she crossed the hall, flung open the door, and wel- comed him with open arms.

"Darling!" Dan's mighty arms were round her, and she was smothered with kisses.

"Well," at last he held her away from him and scanned her face with anxious, loving eyes. Molly's trembling hands crept up and stroked his creeks gently, as if to make sure he was real. i

She could only nod and smile, a terrible lump in her throat stopped her speaking for a moment, and her eyes filled with tears-wonder- ful, soft tears of relief and joy.

"Sentimental little creature." laughed Dan and took her hands between his huge ones. "Put that ripping little hat straight and come right along." he added. “The taiclb waiting."

There wasn't another man in the world, she felt, who would have said jut that. noticed the very things she had chosen with such care and with thoughts oi’ him- her new hat.

"Oh, you dear," she exclaimed. “but how dreadfully extravagant of

' you to keep the taxi."

Her first words, so commonplace, so utterly inadequate. Just one of those silly remarks one hm to make to the man one loves best. let a flood of foolish, lovely and loving words should embarrass him -lhe dear, sentimental, self-con- scious creature.

Then she laughed for sheer joy at having his great strong hand in hers again.

“Oh, it's good to hear you laugh again," Dim joined in. and they stood like two children, enjoying the laughter that was just ancvcr- flowbf happines‘. "I've so often wanted you to share the fun while I was away. No one else under- stands quite as you do—our sense of humour is ‘our greatest bond. I believe. I've missed you no end."

Those were the words that every fqolish woman Wants to hear, and hearing them. can forgive so much eke, so much out cf all proportion -which is very fortunate for some men.

Just the same. The thought thril- led through Molly. Her darling, still wanting her to laugh and play with him.

"Come on-thc iaxl's ticking."

He tucked her hand under his rrm and ran her down the little path—he gave the driver the name o’ the restaurant, -the very one where she and Dan had dined out together for the first time.

“Oh, Danny." she remonstrated

as he bundled her in, "All the way? How mautifully reckless!" ' "Now, don't starVbuilylrig-mc at once, my dear," he protested. “Our first evening, too-therell be plen- ty of time for that later on."

"Now just sit close and listen while I begin to tell you all about things."

Molly's contribution to the con- versation was perforce small—but so appreciative. she just sat op- posite Dan at the little square table, and positively glowed with delight.

With one masterful sweep of his hand, he removed the vn=e of gol- dcn chrysanthemums that stood between. Such nice hands he had -one of the things about him that Molly loved.

"Can't stand these thing=—l want to see you properly." he an- nounced.

Other women looked across at her table, and Molly, sensing their envy, felt proud.

"He's mine," she exuited secret-

y.

"Alld now, listen." Dan was in- slsting, and Molly went on listen- ing and smiling and nodding and saying "Yes," and "No" and "Oh. you didn't," at just the right moment. and with the right em- phais.

Till at length, as coffee was set before them, he leaned back.

"Gee, I've been talking," he laughed. "Now you tell some- thing."

"Well. I don't know-there's not much to tell, dear," she said. "I've been very quiet."

“Too quiet, I expect." he re- pronched her. "I know you. With-

out me to hound you from. the fireside, you'd never stir."

"Well, you know I'm quite happy at home." She traced a. pattern on the cloth with her finger nail and thanked her stars she had gone to the extravagance of hav- ing a manicure that morning. Dan was frightfully particular about her hands-said they were lovely and she must not neglect them.

Dan was frowning and bit his. lip. He lmew so well her shrinking from the neighbors, her sensitive- ness lest they should learn about her unfortunate marriage. He had re"llsed long since that she blam- ed herself—qultc without grounds -for its failure. She believed that had she been stronger, more pat- ient, more loving—just different in some way—the weakness that lurked beneath her husband's charm would never nave gained the mastery. And oi this her fail- ure she was ashamed and feared the gossiping of women nodding their head; over tea trays, discuss- ing her behind her back-a wife without a husband,

She saw his look and steered to another and safer topic. “Dan, theresa new play I want to see. 1m 80mg to take you to it next week. I've booked seats."

The smile came back to her eyes and she made plans with the eager zest of a child, till Dan laughed at her.

"Your enthusiasm is marvellous," he chaffed, "anyone would mink you had never seen a play before, fflld Jlbl- 10W it." he added.

ilrtl/izolly looked round at his bid.

Plllcked eyebrows. painted lips and artificial roses everywhere, Faces like uniforms-identical and imt as lacking in individuality.
