BY O. HENRY
One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies.
Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the gro-cer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one’s cheeks burned with the silent imputa-tion of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dol-lar and eighty- seven cents. And the next day would be Christ-mas.
There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it.
Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predomi-nating.
While the mistress of the home is gradual-ly subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per week. It did not exactly beggar descrip-tion, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad.
In the vestibule below was a letter-box into which no letter would go, and an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring. Also
appertaining thereunto was a card bearing the name “Mr. James Dillingham Young.”
The “Dillingham” had been flung to the breeze during a for-
mer period of prosperity when its possessor was being
paid $30 per week. Now, when the income
was shrunk to $20, though,
they were thinking seri-ously of contracting to a modest and unas-suming D.
But whenever Mr. James Dillingham
Young came home and reached his flat above he was
called “Jim” and greatly hugged by Mrs. James Dillingham
Young, already introduced to you as Della. Which is all very good.
Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag. She stood by the window and looked out dully at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray backyard.
Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and she had only $1.87 with which to buy Jim a pres-ent. She had been saving every penny she could for months, with this result. Twenty dollars a week doesn’t go far.
Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are. Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent plan-ning for something nice for him. Something fine and rare and sterling – something just a little bit near to being worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim.

Get in the Christmas spirit
be a Santa for veterans
NEWPORT – The Newport area will kick off the holiday season with the Hometown Christmas celebration Saturday, Nov. 26 at Centennial Plaza.
Saturday, miniature train dis-plays will be set up at the muse-um from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Enjoy
free hot dogs, cocoa and hot cider from 1-4 p.m. at the Greater Newport Area Chamber of Com-merce. You can also have your free photo taken with Santa.
From 4-5 p.m., Christmas car-olers will gather at the gazebo for the tree lighting ceremony.
METALINE FALLS – Members of the American Legion Post No. 144 Auxiliary in North Pend Oreille County are gathering Christmas gifts for the shop at the Spokane Veteran’s Hospital. The gifts will be displayed for veterans to choose for them-selves or for their loved ones, and gift wrapped at no charge.
Drop boxes will be located at the North Pend Oreille Valley Food Mart and Hardware in Ione, the Metaline Falls Trading Company and the Falls Market in Metaline Falls.
Suggestions for gifts include
toys and winter clothing for chil-dren of all ages, wallets, jewelry (preferably in sets), small items for the home, scarves, hats and gloves for adult relatives of both sexes, and toiletries. No glass please.
The veterans especially like robes or afghans for themselves, and picture frames.
Money may also be donated by check to the American Legion Auxiliary, in care of Barbara Smith, 238 S. Eighth Ave., Ione, WA 99139. When the gift shop gets low on items, the money is used to buy more gifts.

Santa’s arrival was part of the chamber’s Hometown Christmas Celebration. Despite the snowy weather, there were 60 free Santa photos taken, 120 free hot dogs supplied by the city of Newport and a shopping spree drawing that drew 131 entries.
