JUDY’S EARLY (ZHRISTMAS
EVERAL weeks before Christ-
mas came word from Grandma
Elder. Judy sat at the break-
Hat table and listened to mother
Il‘n‘iil the letter.
“Are you going to go away and
leave me all alone on Christmas?"
she asked.
“It does seem a pity."

"We will have to leave on the six-
teenth to reach papa's in time. so let
us give Judy her Christmas on the
fifteenth. the day before we go. We'll
Just pretend it's the twenty-fifth. and
have a tree and give her our presents
then."
The next week was a busy one for
the Grays. Mrs. Gray tried to secure
a real Christmas tree, but in vain.
"Next week," said all the dealers.
"W's don't expect ‘the train loads in
until then.
But Mrs. Gray was determined that
Judy should have her usual tree and
she set to work to plan a. way of ar—
ranging one. Judy. too. was making
plans.
"You must take me in town today
after school. Nora." she said one
"l'm going to use the
mom-y that was left over from my
birthday check. and have my picture
taken so mother and daddy can have
a souvenir of me to take with them.
You mustn‘t tell them. though. be-

Judy's other plan was more ab-

her mother and father her disappoint-
ment at being left home alone on
Christmas Day. "I’ll not spoil their
good time." she told herself. "I'll just
let them think I'm 31 they're gains
to see Grandpa. and I m glad. too.”
she tried to convince herself.
"It's Just about imp ible to get
a tree this early. you were right about
that." said Mrs. Gray the next ave-
ning after Judy had gone to bed.
“isn't Judy the little dear?
she is unhappy because we are going

ment." .

On the day of the fifteentbjnother
kept the doors of the parlor closed
and casually remarked thatit was the
day to clean the halls and oh. did not
want the best room to set dusty. Judy
was too busy with her own plans even
to be suspicious. The frame must be
completed that afternoon so mother
and daddy might be presented with it
that evening. Their train left at sight
the next morning. .
Supper was a lively affair Judy
was excitgd at the thought of present-
inz her surprise. ‘Mother and daddy
kept up a rapid fire line of talk and
stories as much to hide their own
grief at the parting as to make Judy
forget hers. After the meal was over
daddy put his arm around his little
lri's shoulder and led her down the
all. The parlor doors were. open but
the room was dark. .
"Let's go in here and have a comfy
chat." said mother. "Judy. you press

Words Used As
3; connection with the automobile
many words from various lan-
riages are in every day use. "All-
, i'nloblle' itself cues from two
'Rllguazea, and in this respect it is
different from most English words.
Usually a single language is enough in
the formation of an English word.
"Automobile" comes from the Greek
word "autos". meaning "self". and the
Latin word “mounts," which means
"movable". As applied to a car the
English word signifies "melting itself"
or requiring no Iiiutside propelling
force.
"Fender" is from the Latin word
"fendo". to "shove off or protect".
“Carburetor" comes from the Latin
word "turbo". equivalent to our “car-
bon". "Chassis" is a French word.
originally used to indicate the sup-
porting frame of a gun carriage. and
very naturally applied to the support-
ing frame of a motor car. "Magneto"
comes from the Greek word "mason.”
equivalent to our modern word "ma;-
net." "Accelerator" is formed from a
Latin word "accelare". the English
equivalent of which is “to hasten".
“Pedal" is from the Latin word for
“foot". because it is worked by pres-
sure of the foot. "Transmission"
formed from the Latin word
mitto". equivalent to the English word
mits the power of the engine.
Various types of automobiles took
their names from
"Limousine" was named for the town
of "Limousin" (Limoges). .VThe
"landaulct" was named for the Ger-
man town of Landau. The "broux‘
ham" was called for Lord Brougham.
an English nobleman.
K "Garage" is taken bodily from the
French language and is akin to the
French Worn “gene." meaning railway
station—a place for cars. "Chaufleur"
also French and literally means
"itrentan" in the sense of locomoBVe
fireman. On French 'hotel bills a
guest who has had an open fire in his
