"SARAH ANN." Story of Christmas in Cherry Alley, by Mabel Nelson Thuraton.

Take a bride, a white rose nnd ft ragged little girl, add a Lady Cop, .1 society belle and a Christmas tree: mix- well with humor and pai-iios, and you have "Ha rah Ann," by Mabel Nelson Thuraton. It is a tale, of Cherry Alley and its dwellers. Cherry Alley sounds prettier than it really is, for It is ono of the poorest streets in the poorest part of a large city. The men and women, though fighting grim poverty as best they may, are a neighborly, kind-hearted set, helping each other in any way thoy can. Little mothers, only children themselves struggling under the burdens of real mothers; drunken fathers, irrepressible small brothers and fat, good natural Irish women, with their quick tongues and warm hearts; the jolly baker who loves his joke, and the young: grocer, who is often worsted in wardy encounters with his small patrons--these al! belong to Cherry Alley.

other belongs there, but 11 by birth--the Lady Cop. Many tilings happen after her appearance, and one is that never-to-be-forgotten Christmas tree and dinner. Such a Christmas as it was for Sarah Ann! Little Sarah A who mothered her small brother and ba-by sister and managed her drunken father, needed mothering 1 herself. Young In years, but fiTiarp and wise in her outlook on life, she did not know what Christmas meant until the Lady Cop came. Thc effect of it all on her and her baby sister.
