SO | could go on and show you
dozen other ways In which Christ

Christmas In the city, but l am going
to mention just one thing more: the
Christmas tree.
OF course they have Christmas trees
in the city. In New York trainl0adS
of them come down every season frcm
the Adirondacks, and in Chicago boat
loads come from Michigan'S upper
peninsula. You can buy them for fifty
cents or dollar. and they make very
good Christmas trees indeed.

to be able TO 90 out and pick your
own tree and chop it down, and bring
it in-Well, that's what | call real
Christmas tree!
Because that IS really and truly
your Christmas tree. You selected it
with your own eye and chopped it
ii home with Your own muscle. The
Christmas tree-that IS your job:

Father gets the turkey,
Mother makes the pie
Each one has a Christmas Job

Jane Emma gave Potairo's ugly

Seminole Indian Customs.
