His rose colored satin coat was under his head, and his silk stockinged calves dangled over the end of his all too brief bed. The cards of yesterday and yesternight bestrewed the floor. He was disturbed by the insistent tinkling of a bell. Dufresnay groaned and struggled to his feet. On opening the door he beheld a very beautiful young lady quaintly dis guised as a working woman and carry ing a large basket such as laundresses use. Dufresnay retreated in confusion, bowing profoundly and wrestling with Ills coat. "I pray you pardon me, mademoiselle. I did not expect a a vision !" "And I pray you, monsieur, not to mock me," she replied, with a wry lit- are in a class to themselves, says L. A. Randolph, of L. A.

There Is not In all this land a home where the rain beats through the roof, where the mother and father gather the children more closely to shelter them, but the Christmas truth Is shin-; lng, "Blessed are the poor." j There Is not a homeless boy who In the December night creeps out of the snow Into an empty dry goods box in the alley, not a little fellow up under the rafters of the poor house on the county farm, not a foundling left in a basket at the rich man's door, not a shivering, tiny girl unfitted for a fight with the storm, but the new truth of the Christmas spreads Its wings over, them. "When I am weak, then am I strong. Who Is weak? Who Is Infirm upon his feet and walks with a crutch? Who is afraid of the northeast wind? Who says : "I am better ; yes, I think I am getting better. But somehow I do not get my vigor back?" Who leans up against the bale of goods In the half hidden counter and knows that she came back to work too soon? Who was born blind? To all of you the Christmas has its moaning. There never was a conqueror like the child In the cradle. God hath cliosen the weak things to confound the mighty. For 2.000 years the his tory of the world's civilization has been the story of the gentler virtues, the poem, the song and the triumph of suffering well. The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Ev ery letter of that sentence is eternally true. The grandest things that were ever done on earth were done by men and women who had the spirit of the child. The sublimest work of the Creator is the sweet-faced little child. It is ev erything for the child, heaven please all harvests, all gold, all schools, all trade, all government, all the coming better times. Christmas means, "And j a little child shall lead them."

Throughout the colonies in the sev enteenth and eighteenth centuries toys were an almost unknown factor, but wherever Christmas observances were not frowned upon by religion feasting and good cheer were abundant, and rich and poor, old and young, shared in the games, abundant food and gen ial atmosphere. In the eighteenth cen tury toys began to make their appear ance in the colonies. Some of them were brought from overseas and had the enchanting quality of novelty. Lit tle girls who had helped to mother their younger brothers and sisters were delighted with dolls that were all their own, to fondle and coddle.
