'pHE trouble with having such
an all-flred modern family
and trying to keep up with them,"
Alice told herself as she looked
around the hotel dining room on
Christmas Day, "is that modernism
and Christmas just don't go to

While they waited for the entree
she and William were alone, sitting
at opposite ends of the long table
watching their children dance. Each
one had been permitted a guest of
his own age, but Alice's eyes were
focused on her tall, dark-haired Bill
and his slim, golden-haired girl,
Rnapmarv. Bill would soon be
TAl'tin, 1). I). eighteen, that was why he fixed her
uttention.
William came over and sat be
side her. "Happy, Alice?" he said,
and covered her hand with his.
She -returned his smile. After all,
this spree was costing enough to
have bought three or four turkeys
for home coMurnption. "You were
right, dear," she said. ' The young

I'otteil Yule Trees Can Be
l -ril for Several Years
'I'l, a record of using the same
Ci.ri: r.35 tree for the last five holi
risy i -,t;-,s is held by Mrs. H. R. j
Yo .r.t or I'ru.iswick county in North I
! rtr,rn;i-.ia.
Mrs. Yount planted a small cedar
bv her farm house and the flrit
Christmas it was about 16 inches
high. She placed it in a pot and used
it as a table tree with appropriate
decorations.
After the first Christmas, she re
planted the small tree by the house.
'if thfn diia it uo asain and placed It
in a bucket on a tabic for its second
fcft : holidays.
I Again it was replanted and the
lliuu jvai " iwv .v-
tlooi with the children adding the
necessary decorations. It was very
carefully treated and again reset by
the house For the last two years
it has been used as an outside
Christmas tree to carry all the lights
and decorations.
Mrs. Yount and the other mem
bers of the family have made spe
cial preparations for decorating the
traditional Christmas tree again this
year.
Happy, AJice?" he askci".
Custer has invited Bill before the
young people go t the dance."
"Come on, Alice, let's show these
kids what for." In spite of the crowd,
William covered the ground as he
had in college when she fell in love
with him. She was glad that she had
managed to have her hair done Sat
urday. The gardenias the children
had given her to wear to church yes
terday were still fresh. She'd let
Sister wear them tonight if her date
didn't crash through. Bill had bet
Sis fifty cents he wouldn't.
The orchestra melted into "White
Christmas," and young Bill tapped
his father on the shoulder. "Mom's
favorite. Dad. Let's change."
Alice said, "You dance almost as
well as your Dad."
"Look at him, will you?" said
Bill. "Quite the old boy."
Before long everyone was helping
Bill and Sister dress for the dance.
Bill lost his wager, and whistled
over the red roses that were just
right on the turquoise blue of Sis
ter's frock.
She said Bill looked simply gor
geous in his tuxedo and when his
father saw him he said, "Too bad
they don't wear 'em in the army,
son."
They heard Bill call Rosemary's
number cn the phone downstairs
and then he closed the door for pri
vacy. "Wouldn't you think," said
Sister, "he a give tne poor girl a
chance to take a bath? I bet she
gets good and sick of him."
Suddenly Alice remembered a call
she had forgotten to make about the
baskets the church distributed yes
terday. She flew to the upstairs'
extension, and when she beard Bill
still talking in leisurely fashion, she
opened her mouth to say, as she
often did when necessary, "Hang up,
you two, I need the phone."
But she didn't say those words or
any others. She listened a few mo
ments and her eyes filled with tears.
The disappointment and hurt at
the way her family had preferred to
spend their Christmas vanished as
har Terr best Christmas present ot
1945 was received on the wire. j
"Heck o," Bin was saying. I
can hardly wait for an old-fashioned
Christmas dinner. That hotel'
business was all Dad's idea so
Mom wouldn't have to cook and
wash dishes all day. None of us liked
It at all. Mom had a good time,
though."
