THE WHY OF CHRISTMAS GREENS.

DO you know how the custom Of Christ
mas greens originated il began years
and years ago Since Christmas comes
at such bleak. cold t4me of the year folks
thought It might be cold for the elves and
other fairy folk OF course, they we're very
difficult to hnd and fled from most hui
mans How To invite them To come share
the warmth Of the houses was . plIzzhng
problem. At last Some one had m idea.
Why not fill the house with boughs Of
spruce and pine and other greens that the
elves lovedg This was done that the little
folk might come and hide themselves IN
the greens. As the fragrant smell Of the
greens pervaded the air. people liked 70
think 1t was the thank you of the little
folk. SO to this day the invitation Is gwen
in every house where the Christmas spirit
prevails.
