enough - the family
PATIENTLY Frank Framelys
fads until he became a vege
tarian An overindulgence in
iliirkey at the Thanksgiving feast had
jr een followed by fasting repentance
iind the adoption of the vegetarian
cult Steaks gave place to salads and
tamb to lentils wherefore the spare
liennies of the Framely youngsters
Vere Invested In bara sandwiches and
Smoked beef Instead of cake and
c indy
It had been bad enough when Frame
ly had adopted the thorough mastica
tion fad and the entire family had sol
emnly chewed its food to the loud
dick of the metronome It had been
worse when all hands slept In a tent in
the back yard because Framely had a
told and feared consumption but even
with an approved vegetarian kitchen
within half a mile It was difficult to
yive variety to the menu with only
vegetables as a foundation
The younger Framelys refused to re
gard nut ragouts as fit substitutes for
their mothers savory stews and the
hospitable soul of Mrs Framely was
Med by the evasive excuses of those
jho were invited to dinner The poor
little woman considered it necessary o
explain that they were now vegeta
rians and anticipatory smile faded
from expectant faces a the owners
thereof mentioned transparent previ
ous engagements suddenly recalled
Finally she pleaded with her hus
band for a turkey for Christmas to his
great horror
v Just for one day he repeated aft
er her My dear would you plead
with me to feed my innocent children
on a diet of poisons for just one day
No I have ordered a beautiful mock
turkey from the vegetarian kitchen
They assure me that it tastes exactly
like the bird and it is molded into the
same shape The children will not
know the difference If they shut their
eyes
AT1 n 4- iltnnAit rrM
their eyes shut protested Mrs Frame-
TT 1 1 J ll
ly lueuiy ner uusuuuu lejjuiuuu 1111
with mild sorrow
If only they might eat with their
eyes truly open he lamented open
to the danger that lurks within the
uead flesh they would stuff their stom
achs with Some day they will thank
me for saving them from the evils and
miseries of the flesh eaters
Framely adroitly made his escape be
fore his wife could find an answer to
Franlr will like ou vt his mothers
pies for Christmas iliough I will ad
mit that you do beat me on your crusts
my dear Now give me an apron and
Ill help you with the turkey
Mrs Framely the younger shrank
from an explanation and with the
statement that things only needed to
be warmed up thrust the matter aside
jWlien her husband came In from
church with the children she slipped
out to put things on the table When
the family came into the dining room
she supposed of course that her hus
band had explained and so made no
comment when the old lady set aside
her thick vegetable soup with the com
ment that she never did like those new
fangled soups
But when the turkey was brought In
and set upon the table the old lady
brightened up
I dont see how you get your turkey
sack an even brown all over she said
approvingly Mine always burns on
tthe top You know I like the second
joint and some of the white meat
Frank
For an instant Framely went a sick
ly white
There Is no white or dark meat he
said faintly This Is a mock turkey
a mixture of nuts and vegetables you
know We have awakened to the error
of our ways and eat no more carrion
Dont eat carrion repeated hir
mother as she sliced a bit from the
strange mixture You eat this sort of
stuff instead
The pure product of Mother Nature
of the green fields and the healthful
sunshine said her son solemnly
The last time I was here you were
chewing your food like a cow chews its
cud remarked the old lady severely
That was bad enough but when you
make a mock of Christmas with youi
mock turkey it makes mo wish yor
were young enough to be taken acrosc
my knee again Go get your hat Were
going to a restaurant for a real Christ
mas dinner
But mother began Framely seek
ing to suppress with a glance the cheer
Ing of the children
Do you remember when you were a
little boy about the age of little Frankie
here demanded his mother Framely
nodded And do you remember how
good a drumstick used to taste with
some giblet gravy and lots of stuffing
and cranberry sauce
Yes mother he assented limply
Then go get your hat Its Frankiee
birthright she declared
Yes mother came for a second
time but now there was gladness in
the voice a hungry look in the eyes
and his wife knew that another fad
had passed
Old Christmas Superstitions
An old German saying is that be
tween 11 and 12 oclock on Christmas
eve water can he turned into wine
The lamp or candle must not be al
lowed to burn itself out on Christmas

Jthis outbreak and toward afternoon
the mock turkey made its appearance
it resembled a gigantic candy fa or in
shape and color The tinting of the
outside had been rudely done and by
jno means suggested the crackling skin
of the barnyard king bursting from the
pressure of the rich juiceswithin Sad
ly Mrs Framely shook her head as she
shoved the bird into the icebox alng
with the rest of the packages wnu b
the wagon had brought and busied her
self with converting some meatless
mince meat into pies
I Christmas day dawned somberly
enough in the Frainely household
Frank junior had thrown his carrot
cutlet to the floor and had been senl
from the table in disgrace and Nellie
had invited a second outburst by tear
fully pleading permissionto go to her
grandmothers where they would havG
A real Christmas dinner Grand
mother was on the maternal side and
Mrs Colfords intolerance of her son-in-laws
fads was an ever ready sub
ject for acrimonious discussion
To cap the climax the elder Mrs
JFramely arrived unannounced during
the forenoon
I I was lonesome she explained as
she followed her daughter-in-law into
the parlor so I just packed up some
mince pies and some jellies Id rnide
and brought them along I gue

eve or there will be a death in the
family within the year
A Magyar superstition is that any
one who eats nuts without honey on
Christmas will lose his teeth Another
is that a pillow turned at midnight
will bring dreams of a future lover-
It is unlucky to trip on Christmas
day
Tho Sicilian children place penny
royal in the beds Christmas eve be
cause they believe it always flowers
at the exact hour of Christs birth
All children born at midnight on Dec
31 will become great and famous
Christmas Diplomacy
Lady My husband wont wear those
shirts I bought him for Christmas 1
didnt think he would And now Id
like to exchange them
