In olden days they used to bring 4
boar's head smoking into the feast

monies.
And years afterwards the custom
was for bands Of sweet-volced boys to

morning. standing grouped in the
street and singing carols Of Joy to the
mellow resonance of bells.
And in grandfather's time folks
made up jolly, boisterous sleighing par
ties, where all mufied up snugly
and let out the horses, with the IRON
runners gliding swiftly over the hard
packed snow.
But Mollie and live in a little house
in town, where the sanitary depart
ment keeps the streets swept clean
Of snow; where there are municipal
rules against chopping down trees and
no fireplaces In which to burn the logs,

licemar on he beat probably would
arrest the Christmas choiristers If they
came around and woke up the neigh
borhood by singing early in the morn
