The Destlnn house at Christmas was always falryland. Constance had a childish devotion to the Christmas traditions, part religious, part pagan. The eat tree she trimmed herself, wt h the most la-

vish an tireless hand. Nobody could atop her until eve branch gllttered with tinsel an bowed

with baubles-until there was no room for even one more colored light or shining ball. The tree was as fresh and exciting to Constance every year as if it had been her very first. And she had never grown bored with the long cere- mony of ppcksge opening. The household, including servants. tock it for granted that on Christmas Eve everybody gathered in the drawing-room, and under the huge laden tree, standing in its usual corner, would be an astonishing mound of gaudily wrapped gifts. It took hours to distribute them, and in the end the room was s shambles of gay paper and ribbon and pine needles.

She was shocked by many of her friends who had small modern "artistic" trees of silver and glass, or went to parties on Christmas Eve. Neither Annabelle nor Tam had ever thought of going to a party on Christmas Eve. Tomor- row was the day for receiving your friends and serving eggnog all day long. 1t was all delightfully old. fashioned. And for ten years, on the twerQy-flfth of December at six p.m., I-ioggett and Luke O'- Shanter had sung their famous duet, “Good King Wenceslaus," with Constance at the piano. Per- haps their voices quavered this year, but they harmonized with the same proud gusto.

,‘I‘his evening after the eggnog was finished and the last guests had straggled away. 'I‘am talked to Constance alone in her room. “Mother, I've found him, He's a musician, He's already a great mu. stolen."

Constance, in her white taffeta gown, looked like a thoughtful angel while she listened. Tam told her everything from the be- ginning. "I-Ie says I'm the motif, the urge," she ended in s shy, breathless voice.

"You have a grave responsibllty," Constance said. "And is he-charm- ing? I mean, will I like him?"

“I think you'll and

he'll adore you. Butljust yet I don't dare to bring .hlm here. You can see why. He will have to a- chieve first so he can come roudly without any possible huml ltatlon. And, Constance, I want to ask a great favor of you." Tam hurried on: "You remember Alexis Jer- ome, of course?" Constance drew a long breath and then laughed in gentle sur- prise. "My dear child, one does not forget. Alexis came here near. ly every day for two years. But of course you were so little then. You can't remember him."

"No, but I've heard you speak of him and I've seen the picture that used to hang in this room. But anyhow, did you know . Jerome is coming as symphony guest conductor to the Academy of Music this year?"

Constance rose and played rest- lessly with pars and letters on her desk. S e opened a drawer and closed it.

"Constance, darling, please don't start straightening your desk just now. I want to know if you'll write to Mr, Jerome-just a nets to ask him to hear Nathan's symphony. That is all I want. If he'll only hear it I know he'll be interested . And from then on ev- erything will go fast."

"I wonder. Mlghtn't everything go too fast?"

came. "Yes, Tam, I will ask him to hear Nathan. But of course I will warn Alexis not to mention my note when Nathan appears with his symphony. Will Nathan have the courage to go however, unm- trbdilted? Alexis is notably dlfti. cult to approach."

"I will supply the courage." said Tam proud . "I will make him

go.

"I love you, Tam," said stance thoughtfully, wrinkling white brow.
