"Now, here's a chance to exert i\ little of the originality this family is always talking about.-' said Mrs Biackmer. "Good said her husband. "Only, remember not to promise things thai cost much, for we'll need a good deal of our money when we get it, to fix up the house," The family all accepted the scheme with enthusiasm, writing to Howard at college, to plan accordingly, and there \vi;s more than the usual amount of brainwork as the days passed. The only thing rolling was I he arrival of "A Pad With All Our Names Written on It.*' mysterious parcels, and these were no? needed to create n Christmas ntmo.;finere. A family of six meant the concocting of thirty ldeu9 with as many wiws of cxnreaslntr them. for the r.lnn stimulated Invention. One tiny.

"I liore they're cryptic," sidd Murine, "for I wouldn't have yr.u know ahead of time what I'm going to promise you, for anything." Christmas morning there was nnielr bustling in and out of tire dining vootn, for though Mr. Blnekmer had been made receiver and distributor, muny lirst miDUte directions created a pleas aut excitement. When all were as serabltd and saw the gay mounds ol packets at each plate, it looked sc much like the usual gift array that some suspected a breaking of the roles. "No," said Mr. Blaekiuer. "1 have the swor n word of everyone that :lws._ are only promises. There ate some things in the library from tlio vela tlves rvbo refused to conform, but this family, as we all know, has been law abiding." Great shouts arose as each "promise" was unwrapped, for there were no two alike. Mrs. Blnekmer, undoing n large, gay bos, exclaimed: "Oh, bnt Gladys, this Is a gift!" "Vn ll'o c-trnui Ir'o ItiiWro Mica Wpf. feran promised roe last fall for youi garden, and she was glad to giro them to me now?said it was legitimate, foi if bulbs weren't promises, who! were?" Mrs. Blaekmer received from hei husband a note for ?fiOO payable In three months for the coat she had pul of? buying last spring, and Mr. Black mer's favorite gift was a hand painted card from Korlne, with this message: "l>enr Dad: i know you hate th< Idea of my smoking, even once in c while, so I promise for at least oat year (maybe forever) to abstain fron the weed." llownrd, who had been wantini some golf sock3 "like mother used It make.'" received a package containing some knitting needles Id a set-up o garnet wool, a stnali skein of whlc! his mother had found in her worl table.
