of the old church
on the bill, the
gray, lonely build
ing that had stood
there to long, amid
sunshine and sha

it were, the peace

Above it the pine trees, greea even
in winter, waved their long branches
restlessly in the wind and flnng their
weird reflections over the snow, the
white, soft snow, that oovered all the
hillside as with a mantle of palest vel
vet. And the day was beginning to close
In. to sciead its crray wines over the
dim sky and the snow-bound world,
lightened only by the warm gleam
that came from many a window in the
Tillace. The afternoons were short
now, said the bustling frauen to eaoh

but, after all, was it not the eve oi the
Christmas feast, and what could one
expect? 0 the cottages were warm

tiled stoves crackled and burned away
merrily, and few were the footsteps
that passed over the snow ontside.
As the clock in the tower chimed
four, old Johann Maria entered the
dimness of the chnroh upon the hill,
. where soft red lights shone like far-
way stars before the altar. There were
' a few other dark figures already there,
kneeling to whisper a prayer at an old
oaken prie-dieu. But they looked op

would say the evening litany.pfihapa,
and they wonld join in the solemnly
. sweet responses, breathing in eaoh
heart the names of their dearly loved
ones.and committing them to heaven's
feafe keeping for the night.
1 VAnd old Johann Maria, as they had
expected, kneeling in the soft halo
. thnt the lights made, began tho old,
: ' old words; that they knew so well, and
, that they followed . so earnestly, while
the wind wailed outside over the snow
on the steep white road. And Amalie and
Dorchen and Aide, girls with fair
tresses and eyes blue as the, skies oU
the Fatherland in the sweet summer
time, listened and -prayed in all tht
fervor ot youth, and hopefulness and
joy. Was not to-morrow the feast of the
Christ-child. And had not the sacrist

already, brought beautiful wreaths of
berrjed holly and white veined ivy
leaves to twine round the carved pul
pit and the choir-stalls? Yes, it was a
time of joy and gladness,- this Christ
mas season, and they were very, very
happy. Why not so? Every one was
gay and glad at Christmas time, when
there where kuchen in toe cottages,
and little fir trees laden with presents,
and sugar angels to be bought at the
shops or the market in the town yon
der, to remind them of the great
Christmas long ago, when the angels
sang over the star-lit fields at Bethle
hem. And by and by, that same evening,
there would be a great service, when
the priest would pray and preach, and
they would all listen, oh I so intently.
But now there was only the quiet
ness ot the little church, with its scent
of the freshly-cut boughs, and the
quavering, monotonous voioe of
Johann Maria repeating the old
litany, as be had repeated it so many
time before in the same place and in
the same accents.
There was another girl in the
corner, kneeling at her prie-dieu, and
whispering the words of the sweet old
petitions with white lips and an aching
heart. Christmas brought only sor
row for her, she said to herself, Ihere
was no gladness for her to ezpeot, no
loving voice to give her the Christmas
crectiner. no tender lips to press her
own in that love sweeter than others,
even at the season of universal love.
No, all was dark and dreary drear,
as the shadows that fell upon the
white snow ; and while the others re
joiced and looked forward to keeping
the festival her heart was heavy and
ber thoughts roamed bsok, pitilessly,
painfully, to a bygone day a day
that was marked with the enadow of
death. -
It was Chrtatmas time again, and
the priest had preached and prayed,
and given the old beautiful bened.o
tion, that floated out like a message
from Heaven over the kneeling people
over ber lover and herself.

she had been so happy, so very very
happy, although the thought of the
morrow's parting had come even now
and then to her heart, witr the throb
bing pain of tome sorrowful dream.
But he had begged her to forget to
forget all the pain of parting for that
one day. "Let ns be happy together,
sweetheart," be had said, looking into
hwr eyes with his own, ah I filled with
so much love and tenderness.
And she had obeyed him, aa she
always would obey the voice that was
more to her than lire ifeelf, and they
had been happy perfectly, passion
ately happy in their great, anfath
pmable love. .-'
"What is love?" be said to her, as
they walked home in the evening,
batching the star gleams, like points
of diamonds, flash on the dark waters
of the Neckar: "What- is love?" he
had asked, and she had looked up to
the beautiful, grave fas before the
answered:
"Love is the most perfect and the
holiest of friendships, my beloved. It

How to Hake Pretty Effect In the
Glowing. Light.
The first step in the work of trim
ming tho Christmas tree is to taok a
square of crash to the floor under the
tree. This eaves the carpet from the
drippings of numerous candles and
the general debris which the disman
tling of the tree invariably occasions.
The green tab, in which the tree
should stand, supported by three
cross pieces of pine nailed to the edge
to hold it securely in place, is almost
sure to be in the housewife's posses-
Conceal this by a covering of
white cotton batting, dusted thickly
with coarsely powdered mioa to re
semble snow, saya the Philadelphia
Tress. Or cover it with imitation
green moss, which can be obtained at
the shops at a trifling cost Jne latter
is really the better plan. It is aim
pier, cleaner and more effective.
The newest conoeits lor tree deoora-
tions are artificial frnits and vegeta

In lighting the tree, modern soienoa
comes Btrongly to thd fore. If there
are electrio lights in the house, an at
tachment is easily made, whereby the
tree can be lighted with liny incande
scent bulbs of different colors. In
case tho house is without eleotrio
lights, a storage battery may be ob
tained at moderate cost. From this
the same results are secured. This
modern style of illumination removes
the old-time danger of the tree eaten
ng fire from its lights, but it is also
open to the objection of dispelling the
romantio glow which came from in
numerable candles. So the great ma
jority of people still prefer the can
dles, whioh seem to be a part 01 ue
Yuletide.
For convenience in distributing the
gifts, it is a good plan to place on
each gift a number, while the mistress
of the ceremonies keeps a written 11st
