Decorated with hundreds of many
colored electric lights, and crowned
with a brilliant white star, the ever
green lifted its branches high against
| the darker background OF the high
school building and threw its JlaZe of
light out over the surrounding crowds
as tho every ray was one OF Christmas
spirit, weaving in and out between tho
men, women and children.
Before the tree was illuminated ;ho

tions on the downtown streets, select
ing, for the most part. those pieces of
music which are to be used at the

placed, rather than our own gratifica-
ton. Ii is better to give than re-
ceive, and 1t is still better when that
giving Is to those who are not expected

swapping presents, as has been the
past custom, is the idea of bringins
happiness to those who have not had
a fair chance to know what happi-
ness IS.
Tulsa, too, is prosperous. which is a
habit with our people. And Tulsa Is
not selfish with her prosperity. She
| is anxious to share that prosperity. not
only to the extent of helping her own
unfortunate. but glories in the good
things that come to other people and
other communities. Tulsa is a good
| place to live in. a good place to do
lusiness in and a good place to halt
from when you are travelling In other
parts of this great nation. Tulsa Is
the topic of admiriug conversations In
any part of the country wherever you
may go, not only because it is a won
der city in its progress. its prosperity,
its cleanliness of appearance and its
up to- dateness, but because its people
