JOYS OF HOLIDAY MEMORIES
Thoughts for Speculation and Pleas
ant Review


l ant Review
The Milwaukee Journal states what
We must all know that we are sorry
for the man who doesn't enjoy holidays.
de misses so much out Of life that he
might as well have and apparently he
gets nothing in return, unless the cold
consolation that he is too mature and
philosophical to be moved by toys and
appetite But we all knc Y that the
pleasure OF holidays changes Glitter
and posse ssions ard sweetmeats take a
lower place; friendship is increasingly
the great treasure, and memory holds
no small part. Fortunate he who looks
back to childhood and youth and sees
through the golden haze of memory
time when there were no care in life
and its delightful course was punctuat-
ed with special days that stand out as
glorious. No thoughts of indigestion
IN that far back golden age marred the
vision of turkey and pumpkin pie at
Thanksgiving; no reflection on their
transient satisfaction occurred to the
small boy or girl who dreamed of new
store OF treasures that would be his on
christmas morning. No question of
its high patriotism suggested itself to
tie youth who wasted gunpowder on
the glorious Fourth. So ran the mirth
on all these days. And most of all no
vision OF faces forever absent made the
sunlight less bright or brought a
thought Of sadness with the fragrance
of the Christmas candles.
Who will question the value of these
memories. The great days of civiliza-
ton were not less great because of I'M
rejecting joy. Men do not go at mems
work less willingly because boyhood
was so different And in memory most
of US will find our best reminder to
make the holidays mean as much to
other children as they meant to US.
