"A Visit From
St. Nicholas"

:" the world? Not Gray's "Ele-
gy," nor "The Song of the
Shirt" nor 1.-The Raven" but 1.-The
Night Before Christmas" The author
is not so well known as his poem.
One recent Christmas the name of
Clement Clarke Moore was honored as
never before. Above his grave In the
chapel Of holy Trinity cemetery, New
York, the choir boys sang carols on the
night before Christmas, and service
of light was held. This beautiful cere-
monial starts with a procession Of
torchbearers whose torches are kindled
from the leaders flame, and as the line
winds through the graveyard the fire
ls passed back from one to another un-
I'll the lights grow IN number and dis
pei the surrounding darkness.
The father of Clement Clarke Moore
was once the bishop Of New York.
''The Night Before Christmas" was
published originally without the au-
thor's knowledge In the Troy Sentinel
two days before Christmas, 1928.
Moore had written 1t the preceding
Christmas Just for the delight of his
own children, but It's circulation slip
ped beyond the family circle and an
unknown friend sent 1t for publication.
The Sentinel readers paid no attention
to 1t, and 1t passed without comment
until seven years later, when the same
paper reprinted 1t. The second recep-
ton was very different from the first.
"A Visit From st. Nicholas" as 1t was
then entitled, was copied broadcast,
and its author awOke to find his work,
II not himself, famous.
Although Clement Clarke Moore was
educated for the ministry, he never
took orders. For the greater part Of
his life he was identified with the New
York General Theological seminary,
being professor of Biblical learning |
and Greek and later of oriental Ian
guages.
Clement MoOre's family life had many
His wife died at the early
age of thirty-fve, and the two little
for whom he wrote ''The
Night Before Christmas" both died in
their childhood. His son and name
sake lived to the age of sixty-eight and

RED CROSS IN FRANCE

| Caserne they are given two complete
outfits of clothing from a big store
, furnished by the Red Cross. Though
I every building has its foster mother
in the way of a Red Cross nurse, the
mothers of the children are allowed
to be with them if the doctors con-
slider it necessary. About so mothers
are now being cared for along with
their broods Some mothers make
weekly trips from the ruined villages
to see how the children are getting
along.
Little Jeanne is one of the newest
arrivals in the Caserne. Her mother
brought her a few days ago and has
tened back to harvest her crop, plant
ed at the risk of her life and now be-
ing harvested with the aid Of a gas
mask. "The Germans are so mean,"
she said, that they shoot at me every
time ! try to dig hill of potatoes.
Now | dig them at night"
Watch for Air Bombs
How little faith the mothers have in
the enemy may be judged by the way
they worry for fear German airmen
will bomb the Caserne eight miles
behind the firing line. So far the
Germans have honored the big red
crosses painted on the roof of several
of the buildings. But the mothers are
coming to make constant inquiries and /
are always treasured by the American
doctors and nurses. The mothers go
back to their ruined homes and caves
cheerfully to brave a few more Ger
man shells.
Good Red Cross Work
In addition to caring for the group
of children the doctors and nurses
go to the villages and
towns in the vicinity to handle older
cases. The French doctors are all
in the army and are on duty
