But I thought you had planned on something else," Siew, art rc-flied. "I changed my mind," was all . Janice said. She didn't tell him she couldn't think of a Christmas tree without a star at the top. They always had one on the tree "at - home." I "Thought you weren't going to get II any red balls," she reminded Stewt J art. "I changed my mind." Both j | laughed at Stewart's echo of Jan.

When Stewart returned to thi j room Janice was placing package under the tree. "Janice, doesn't it seem to yot there is something wrong with thi tree?" Stewart asked suddenly. "No." Janice walked all arouni the tree, looking at it critically "No," she said the second timethen suddenly?"Yes, Stewart, then is something wrong ? somethinj missing?the loving sharing of dec orating the tree.
