LOVE him, I
love Mm, I
loge him," Ag-nes
Allen said.
And as she
was alone in
her room, and
as no one could
hear her,
naturally there
W118 DO answer
to her state-ment
which she had repeated several
times.
She , s , speaking of George bar-well.
George was so good looking
with his wonderful blue eyes, his
brown hair, his fine erect figure.
Wherever she saw men she thought
how insignificant they looked beside
George. She was
glad that site,
thought ' that
way. She hoped
others thought
that way about
the men they
cared for. Then
everything would
be so smooth and
so simple.
She wanted
everyone to like
her George Im-mensely.
But it
would he embar-rassing
if every-one
thought just
the same about
him as she did.
T h e wedding
was to he Christ-mas;
- afternoon.
MAN had nev-er
before
• oOlehol at all
to speak of
until she had
married Bert
that summer.
Sloe had
made a great
success of it,
hut she was a
little nervous
afterward when sloe realized " that " toe
all orily 0000i
near relatives for a Christmas dinner.
And that they had all accepted.
" Now Marian dear," Bert had said,
" just have a simple dinner. Don't
bother about the
frills. Our ordi-nary
Sunday din-ner
will do beau-tifully.
Any one
_ who gets o u r
' usual Sunday din-ner
is getting a
attsk, fine meal."
" Well, I guess
that is about all
I can do— and for
‘, so many, too,"

Bert said ad-
Icor days and
days Marian planned her Christmas
dinner She salted nuts, she made
cranberry sauce. She ordered a fine
young turkey. She wasn't nervous
about the turkey— that was just about
as easy as chicken.
Yes, she was planning to have the
old- time Christmas dinner. She
wouldn't tell Bert. She would sur-prise
him. And then, if she did tell
him, she might bh more nervous about
the things she had planned to do, feel-ing
that he was going to be so proud
of her that she couldn't fulfill his ex-pectations
of her success.
So she worked and planned and
schemed.
And that Christmas eve when Bert
kissed her good- night she smiled to
herself as she heard him say:
" Well, It's quite true. People have
always eaten too much at Christmas
time in past years."
Bert's family all arrived in due sea-son
for Christmas dinner.
" Well, were you nervous over your
first turkey?" asked Aunt Emilina.
Ansi how happy illarlag was that she

Mrs. Allen calling up the stairs. Was.
" Almost, mother dear," she an- e

" You'll he late," her mother called.
" Pil hurry," she said.
" Do you want any help?"
But she had taken longer than she
had thought. Yes, if she didn't hurry
she would be late! Still she would
have George all her life now. How e:
wonderful it would be! She wondered
if that was why brides were so often
