Old-fashioned . wad AURA WORTHLEY had passed her thirtieth birthday some years since, and although she was possessed of more than ordinary good looks, coupled with a good disposition and an inherent ability for home making, she had never had a proposal of marriage. Once, some one had almost spoken the words-- Laura often thought of that wonderful evening since--but just as it seemed that the fateful moment had arrived Aunt Mabel had come seeking her for something or another. Next day Robert Barrett had left Lindenfleld and Laura had never heard from him since. The passing of time had eased the pain in her heart and she had managed to go about and show a smiling face to the world, but often she felt m self-rising Buckwheat Flour Now is the time to begin to think about some of those wonderful buckwheat cakes.

But she told herself that she had no right to think of Robert; he was probably married and settled down long before now in that far-off land where his company had sent him. Rut, always as Christmas approached she found herself thinking of him and picturing the home that might have been theirs together. Aunt Mabel had been dead two years now, and since her death Laura had felt very much alone in the world, in spite of many friends. But every year at Christmas time her cousin Vera, a widow of limited means, came to spend the holidays with her, and always at this time she gave a party for the young people. And lest any of them might be thwarted of love and a proposal, as she had been, she saw to it that plenty of mistletoe was in evidence. She- looked very beautiful now as she welcomed fier guests to her annual party. She was one whom years give new and added charm in recompense for the rosy flush of youth that they steal, and as she walked to the door to answer a new peal of the bell, she would have attracted attention anywhere. Opening the heavy door she looked without A little cry sprang to her lips, for there she saw Robert Barrett. A rush of joy, of wonder, of delight, flooded her whole being. He had come--he still loved her--else, why would he be here? Steadying herself by the doorway she bade him welcome, and as she recovered from the sudden rush of joy at seeing him again, her voice grew cool and composed as she assured herself that his coming meant nothing more than a friendly visit-- that even should he be still unwed, It would be some one younger, fairer than she that he would now seek. He seemed rather ill at ease, and he blundered and stammered so when he spoke, that his voice was almost drowned in the sounds of gay laughter and music that came from beyond^ Then, suddenly, without warning, . his arms reached out and he clasped Laura close and she felt his kisses upon her lip^. He was asking December, 1877 The new drop curtains, painted for the Good Templars by C. P. Waite and George Curtis, of this village, is certainly a very fine Job of work, and does great credit to them as painters. It must be remembered that this was their first attempt at scene painting, and shows a skill in that line surpassed by few who make this line of painting a specialty.

When they both came back to earth be showed her the spray of mistletoe above' them: "It gave me the courage I lacked long ago," he whispered. Later he told her why he had never written. Aunt Mabel had spoken to him the evening before he left, and had told him that It would not be fair to tie Laura with a promise; also she had hinted of another man who was more favored. The company had just brought him back to Lindenfleld, and as soon as he got in, learning that Laura was still free, he had come. And because it was Christmas time, and also because the years that were coming held a wonderful promise for them, and they* could afford to be generous, there was no resentment In their hearts for the thing Aunt Mabel had tried to do.
