Every one who has ever known the joy of an old-fashioned home Christmas will delight in this latest story by Kate Douglas Wiggin. It tells the story of two young men who went forth from their little village to the swifter life of the city, one to prosper, one to fall upon evil ways. At last two Christmas cards written by the minister's wife brought them both back to the old village, one to find peace and new courage in the scenes of his childhood, the other to take up a charming romance that his departure had broken off, and both to enjoy a Christmas celebration such as they had not known for many years.
