crops up so regularly during the holi-
day season.

a sprig of mistletOe on her head.
The joke about the mistletoe that

The church trimming mistletoe joke.
The sprig of mistletoe that the long
lost lover on his dramatic return on
Christmas eve always draws out of his
pocket at the end of the story.

now degenerated into chestnut. 1t
no longer serves any useful literary
purpose. 1t should be worn only by
