To the Editor Of WomGn's Page;
Perhaps I shouldn't write this letter
at rll, because I'm neither married
woman who works or doesn't work.
I'm simply girl who has been follow
ing the various opinions you have re-
ceived and who has one of her own.
You couldn't exactly call 1t an opinion,
though, because, at the very start, I'll
have to say that have no general pre-
jud!ce against either side. It's so much

showed the Same wares patiently for the
forty -hundredth. a..
It suggested Christmas, Of course,
for the decorations were all Of laurel,
of holly, Of Santa Claus and Of bright
tinscl.
But It was a noisy Christmas, a ma
terial Christmas, a Christmas that had
its drawbacks.
Yet the setting in which Santa Claus
appeared to greet tia children gave an
entirely different effect.
The background represented snow
covered roofs, there were icicles here
and there, with the sun Just rising,
casting a rosy glow over the whole
scene.
Pine branches were arranged Just to
show around the edge Of the throne
which Santa Claus would occupy when
he arrived.
Behind these, between them and the
sunrise, there was some mechanical
device which sent just an occasional,
lazy snowflake floating out Of nowhere
and back again. o.
The rest Of the ''set" may have
caught the eye more quickly, on ac-
count Of Its brilliance and beauty, but
this one little detail had caught the
spirit Of Christmas.
TT WAS because Of the peacefulness
of it.
Somehow you could stand there in
the midst of all the hustle and hurry
and worry about you and be lifted
straight into the midst Of Christmas by
the sight Of those aimless, silent, white
fakes drifting up into the rosy glow
Of that snow filed dawn.
It's the peace of Christmas, not the
day or its celebration, but the idea,
the fact that it stands for, which makes
it so beautiful.
You can celebrate It best, I always
feel, Just Mt midnight, when the chimes
are ringing out their joyous, solemn
message, or with the sunrise.
A r MIDNIGHT. there's an expectant
~ hush just before the clocks begin
to strike.
Then with the first stroke that breaks
the silence. a sense Of content and
deep thankfulness. just for being alive,
pours into your heart.
Later on you hear the SOUND OF carols
sung by unseen choristers, their voice
echoing in blended harmony through
the frosty air.
At any other time perhaps It wouldn't t
move you 20 deeply; but the night, the
singing and tho chimes, combined with
I the knowledge you have that this is
Christmas morning, bringing its message
Of peace on earth. bring out all the
simplicity and humility in you, so that
you fairly trcmble with the wonder OF
the whole thing.
Early in the morning, with the dawn
just beginning to stretch so that you see
its first light on tho edges of the clouds
hanging low over the horizon. there are
more chimes.
1t might be like any other morning
when you get awake early.
But the bells ringing their summons
