She could only stop and exclaim: "Jerry! Where in the world did you come fiom?" "Alice! Well, still living on this awful street--in the awful boarding house! Beautiful girl like you!" Same old Jerry, she thought, as the answered, "Well, it's near the school. "And not married yet," he interrupted. "Are you?" "Why should I be married?" she asked flippantly. "Still grieving lor me?" Alice took up his bantering tone. "Natuially.

You can't expect a girl to get over first love as quickly as that. Can you? Nobody me away to France to the they did you." "Pretty subtle of the mater, it?" said Jerry with a little laugh. "Just about as 'subtle as her idea of turning me into a lawyer To lend tone to the family. They both laughed. Jerry slipped on the "Jerry," Alice cried, "you're not --light--are you?" "Darn right I'm not," he answered, indignantly.

"That's why I here. Mama's locked up all the liquor. Can't face one of mama's Cluistmas Eves cold sober, can Folks in to meet the darling boy? "Besides, there's gonna be father. When he finds out I quit college he'll mad. Especially when he finds 0ut I won't stay heie and run his two-by-four hick department store.

No sir!" He laughed. "Father's going to stake his little boy to a South American cruise. Never been to South America--warm down there-none of this nasty snow. Gotta do a lot of serious thinking." Alice shook her head. "Same old Jerry.

Mama's spoiled boy." Jerry suddenly became serious. He grasped her arm. "No you don't," he begged. "Can't get rid of me. Got to save me waved his arms disgustedly--''all this Christmas spirit--phooey.

Listen, I'll go back and tell father off; then I'm coming to pick you up at old lady Deakin's. Won't she be glad to see me again! We'll go off and dance a little. Now don't tell me you have a date--I'm coming for Betty Carter you--soon. Make it half an hour? I'll pop finished, off by then." He went off dizzily, and Alice watched him, shaking her head. She felt 'forlorn and depressed, walking down the street toward the store 1WHE she had returned and left the lemons in the kitchen, she upstairs to her cold boarding house room.

She took off her hat and coat and spread them out over a chair to dry, then went to her little bookcase, selected a book, and tried to read. It was impossible. She stared out of the window, over the Carters' shabby little house, into the dark snowy void beyond. She got up. went to her closet and took out her flowered silk dress.

There was knock on the door. "Come in," she called. Mrs. Brown entered. "I saw you come in," she said.

-Did you get the lemons?" She broke off suddenly. "What's the matter-- you look as though you've seen a ghost." "I have." Mrs. Brown stared at her. "Not --not that good-for-nothing Donaldson boy?" "Yes, I'm afraid so," Alice admitted. "He said he was coming for me tonight.

But he's drunk. He won't come. I don't even want him to." She went to her mirror and started to comb her hair. "He isn't worth a thing and IT! just fall in love with him all over again." Mrs. Brown was silent.

Alice slipped off her dark woolen dress and slowly put on the flowered silk. "I feel better in this," she explained, then suddenly burst into tears. Mrs. Brown threw her arms about the gobbing girl. "Don't Alice, dear don't, please--" "I can't help it--Mother Brown --I just can't let myself begin thinking about him again--how sweet he can bt, when he's away from that mother of his.

She's ruining bun. Oh, it's wicked--1 --I--" "Well, there now," Mrs. Brown comforted. "It's fate--really it is. You want to see him--and you don't.

He comes--and he doesn't. You just have to let fate take care of those things. I'm so sorry. You are in love with him--aren't you?" Alice walked over to the window and looked out. In a moment, she motioned to Mrs.

Brown who came and stood by her side. From the window they could look down into the Carter living room where Mrs. Carter was seated in front of an open Are reading to her three Lttle ones. "Sweet, aren't they?" murmured Mrs. Brown.

Betty bounced up and down with excitement. "Just like ours! Just like ours!" Then she looked worried. "Mother, we shouldn't have a fire. Santa Claus might get burned." "Aw, can it, Betty," Pete, the 10-year-old broke in. "Don't tell me you believe in all that tripe-you're six! Time you caught on.

Ain't it, Joe?" Joe, aged eight, was more dubious than his brother about the existence of a Santa Claus. "Gosh, I don't know," he said hesitantly. "You shouldn't take any chances--on a night like this. He might be around--he might hear." "Take some kind of miracle to bring Santa Claus to this joint tonight," Pete remarked. "Miracles sometimes happen on Christmas Eve," Mrs.

Carter said. "You can feel something in the air." The children looked at her, very grave and stilL "St Nicholas used to perform miracles for people like us.
