Christmas in the Air.

Christmas, the most charming hol-
iday Of the whole year, has hidden
fair to be complete in the matter of
landscape this year in Mineral Point
and the state entire, an old-time and
typical feature which has been lack
ing frequently of late years. Christ
mas without snow is something like
Santa Claus without whiskers. The
heart is there in each case, but the
suggestion of kindly old age and
winter are not. A few modest little
snow storms have whitened the
ground, bringing out the jingling
sleigh bells, another strong factor
in the perfecting of Christmastide.
White, however, is only one of ma
ture's Christmas colors. Green and
red have been added by CUSTOM
green for the evergreen, the mistle-
toe and the holly, and the red for the
berries and artificial colors which
artistic tradition has selected to ac-
company the green. These colors
predominant in the center Of holiday
brilliancy everywhere. These colors
go well together, for white is the
symbol of purity, while green fur
nishes the suggestion of nature and
red the cheer.
AS the ingenuity of the manufac-
turers adds each year to the variety
| of toys for children, the scenes in
Santa Claus headquarters become
| more bewildering with each sue
ceeding year. The character of the
season can always be drawn from the
contents of the shop windows and
the secret methods and whisperings
INDUCED in by all shoppers, well
calculated to bring quizzing sparkles
in the eyes of the little people.
TO the Thanksgiving attribute Of
abundance Christmas adds those of
thoughtfulness and geuesity. No
wonder, then, that the merry crowds
which throng the streets are like
unto the Yuletide bells themselves
Christmas is the most bread Of all
holidays in its appeals and satisfac-
tions. Heart, eye and stomach feel it
