sang he who evidently knew something Of
its Joys, and the man, woman or child Is 70
be pitied who has not experienced that CO.
stacy OF delight at the return Of the joyous
day. IL is the brightest OF all in our
youthful calendar, looked forward to with
anxiety, awe and wonderment, and though
Its coming brought It's simplest comforts
and delicacies, they were a~buudantly sm-
pie TO our youthful imagination, ana could
not have bsen added to by all the gold Of
Colo onda.
Strewn like the autumn leaves In VAL
ambrosiR are the memories which former
Christmas joys leave with us still. To en-
Joy the happy season happily meant that
we must be good at least six weeks before
It was time to hang up our stockings, and
Tommy Jones, the playmate over 10 the
neighbor's yard, was held up to Ms a. an
example Of juvenile depravity. We must
not be like Tommy Jones, for Santa Claus
would forget Tommy Jones and the
traditional bad man would haunt him In
his dreams because he had been SO terribly
naughty during the past year. The boss
over hadss may have chased poor Tommy
around in the dark on Christmas
eve, but We remember well that
his stockings in the morning were we'll
laden with nice things and 1t was with some
degree OF SELF hnsss that We made, q note
Of the deplorable fact that his presents were
more numerous and expensive than ours.
The inference is that Kris Kringls Is not
the partial old sky-iarker that We were
made to believe him to be. Practical sx-
perience teaches us In later years that he IL
a pretty reasonable old fellow and distrib-
utes his favors as generally as the sllot ted
time OF one short night VIII admit. That
he is bound to come Is quite weib assured,
so it behooves the good little boys and the
bad little boys alike, and all otheryoufhfui
members of the household. 4, hang out

Precious things from the heavenly store,
