My heart beats time to myriad tnking sleighbells,
They fill the laden air with muted song;
And all the worlds picture set to music
With your pressed in mine thread the
When the crystal is falling in the evening,
When swiftly shifting diamonds deck your hair;
The world is full of gladness past believing,
Born with the swring flakes that fill the air;
Just to walk along the sidewalks, softly cleaning
With jewels far too fair to waste by day,
Your pressed close in mine sets adreamng

Half-past Four O'clock o Movie Nights
BY Beau Esprita

Strange emotions come up-welllng
In our hearts new song swelling.
Just about the time the keeper phones for lights;
And the work does not annoy us,
For we're feeling mighty joyous
About half past four O. movie nights.
Everybody's on the hustle,
There's most enormous hustle,
Sos to clear the shop before the whistle blows;
Each mans zest is undminished
Till the last job-lot is finished,
On the nights when we are getting movie shows.
Bread and prunes take glamour
From the instrumental Glamour
OF the orchestra a-tuning in the pit;
Mr.. Tucker and bis turner
Test the incandescent burner
On the very latest Universal hit"
There's drama that will fit you,
And Joker" fit to split you
Or Hy Mayer drawing pictures while you wait;
All the cops fall in the water
Just as all good cops" had ought-er,
And the william meets most appalling fate.
Mike and Jake will fight duel,
While the heroine adds fuel
To the jealousy that's flaming meath their vest
Through thousand feet they're harried
Till at last they're safely married,
And thousand aching sides cry out for rest.
Doing time'' may not be funny,
But the jovial Mr.. Bunny
And his pals who frisk beneath the shaded lights
Make thousand weary sinners
Speed their wrenches and their spinners
Long bout haf-past four o'clock O. movie nights.
