but are by some strange and inexplicable
dispensation springng into existence
here. DR.. Frank Damrosch has already
introduced into the programme Of Christi

carols, or NOels as they are called
The little German Christmas carol,
"Stille Nacht. hell'ge Nacht' will as
ccnd from almost ms many voices here
this year in the Fatherland. our
brothers and sisters from Scandinavia
will sing their national Christmas hymns
and the French carols have found d
foothold in thousands of homes all over
the country. While the songs of the
Nativity are more commonly known
through music in the churches and col
lections of Old English carols will fur
nsh appropriate songs of good cheer,
fcastng and Wassailing for those who
desire. In ante-belum days Christmas
festivities in tre South always included
the old carol.
