board and decanters were the first
emblems of hospitality. To be
"merry" is more liable than not to
be bogus kind of happiness. To
be happy without being ''merry"
is the better way.
The "merry" Christmas has four
phases. The first is the merry
stage, the second is apt to take on
a religious cast and indulge in Bible
quotations and the immortality of
the soul; the third transition is
liable to be full of slop-over senti-
ment. In the fourth act the devil
has his inning and acute insanity
shades off into mere oblivion, sans
everything. Not merry, but a
happy Christmas and family
unions the MIDLAND JOURNAL
extends.
