A Christmas Story

1t was two days before Christ
mas.
Il want everything said Dick.
l want everything. too" said
Polly.
Their mother heard what they
were saying.
IF l get you so much, will there
be any money left to buy presents
for baby and papa" she asked.
Then Dick said, "A horn and a
bass drum and a cannon will be
enough for me" But Polly said,
Il just Want a cheap doll and a
package of needles and some
thread. Then | can make the
clothes myself and they won't cost
so much"
The next morning, Mot h er
couldn't find Dick anywhere. She
called and called but Dick did not
answer. where can he be- she
thought.
Pretty soon he came in, with a
little Christmas tree on his back.
This is for baby" he shouted

CHRISTMAS WITH
The ART STUDENTS

Beginning with the Santa Claus's
which the children in the kinder
gartens of the public schools drew,
every body or girl who is taking
drawing or art work of any kind
in every grade has completed some
special work for Christmas.
In the first grade, booklets were
made for one very important per-
son in their family 1--WE can not tell
just for whom because this edition
of the Junior appears Christmas
Eve and we would not give any Sc
crets away for anything) neverthe-
less as we were saying, booklets
were made for some one in the
family and Christmas tree cards
for some other very important
someone. Pupils in the second
grade made these same things only
a little more difficult ones.
Match safes and candy boxes
with candy were made in the third
grade.
Sole beautifully woven mats
were made in the fourth grade and
were sent to many parts of the
United States as presents to spe-
cial friends.
Pretty paper cards gay with gilt

MAIN STREET At
CHRISTMAS Time IS
SHOWN AT FINLEY

II you want to look UP and down
Main street and look in at the
Christmas windows without getting
in the rain and mud, which we
have been having. just go to Room
! in Finley school.
Acting upon their own sugges.
ton, the children Of the first grade
mostly, though with few of the
second grade-Miss Peterson's and
Mrs. Dille's rooms-made Main
street in miniature as it looks at
Christmas time. The idea has
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-12-24

worked out very well, indeed, and
festive street of Christmas stores,
well ordered and very neat and
clean, stretches across the back of
the room on top of the small cabi-
nets.
There are few houses there,
too; some fixed for Christmas,
with fireplace, and the stockings
already hung. Most of the houses
represent frame houses, though one
of dark brown sandpaper looks like
stucco house. On top of the
chimney of one of the houses Is
Santa Claus with a pack on his
back.
There are toy stores, with cut
out toys of all kinds, candy stores
with buckets and baskets of candy.
It's plasticene, of course, but it
looks like candy all wrapped up in
different colored paper; and candy
canes. In one store labelled gro
cery"> are baskets of fruit. Two
flower shops filled with gayly col
ored potted plants are there; and
shoe store and ten-cent store,
all decorated with red and green
Christmas decorations and bits Of
tinsel.
The Hoosier store, with is win
dow decorations of a fireplace and
Santa Claus, and the reindeer
drawing piano on a sled, which is
in the Starr Piano company's win
dow, were very we'll represented.
Romey's store, with its toy window
and the second story front window
as well, was shown on this inter-
eSting street.
All along the street are straight,
tall street lights, looking very much
like the real lights we have along
Main street.
Then, in the middle of the street,
looking every bit as gay and attrac-
tive as the big tree it is supposed
to represent, is the municipal tree.
1t is fancifully decorated with sill
yer stars, strings of tinfoil balls,
red cornacopias for candy, and the
popular snappers. All Of these
decorations were made by the chill
dren.
For three weeks the children
have been very interested in max
ing this street of Christmas stores,
and the result is most successful.
The children in the second room
made a charming model of he COM
ing of he Three Wise Men in heir
snd table, and those in the first
room showed the watching shep-
herds in theirs.

CHRISTMAS GREETING from A FRIEND
REV. J. ]. RAE

Again if you want merriest Christ
mas, be as willing to get as to give. Get
what? Presents-any kinds, all kinds,
from all who want to give to you. Get
them and be thankful. But get cheer and
sunshine, and courage, and love, and light.
You need to get these, and there is plenty
of each to fill your life plum full. Get
them from anyone who has them.
And, if this Christmas tips the scale
with gladness to you, it will be because
you know that a great, good God, who
made the first and every other Christmas,
asks you to give as He gives and to get as
He gets-everythin yours to use.
May you have a merry Christmas.

wear, to eat, to amuse, to instruct, to work
