Holly and Mist tIetoe Are Harbingers OF Yuletide
Signs of the
Times

Enter the holly and mistletoe
l1ueh and the red and green Christ
mas bells. They are the prelude
most beautiful to Christmas thought
The first sign of the Christmas sea-
son brings gladness TO many and
heart hunger and longing to many
others. Happiness reigns with those
who havo plenty OF this worlds
goods with which to make glorious
the Christmas within their own do
main and to let the spirit of
Christmas in their home cross the
threshold and go into the homes of
those less fortunate where 10y NAV
be distributed--and to cause lust
the innate knowledge to be born
within distressed hearts that they
have been remembered, is happiness
indeed This is time when it real
b seems that Christ IS nearer hu-
manity than at any other time and
proof OF this is found in the reality
that melting hearts are everywhere
and the individual thinks and does
more for the other person than at
any other time during the cycle of
j. months. There is more Christ
Ike spirit and feeling abroad at the
Christmas season-that time which
is the anniversary of his birth
than Mt any other time of the year.
How glorious it would be If the
spirit began at Christmas and con-
tinued all the year
II matters net what charges we
have one against the other; worldly
disagreements and all things sordidly
worldly give way under this melt
ing influence which Crceps into the
heart Eyes glimpse the activities
about as. Secret pilgrimages to the
shops quiet evenings spent behind
closed doors, when one darCs not 20
question those hours spent alone, for
It is understood that hands are busy,
keeping time to the pulsating heart
and active brain. III n motor power
behind this wonderful work of maxi
ing happy hearts at the yuletide.
Tulsa's shops are beautiful. The
windows are a blaze of glory with
the yuletide decorations, and timely
suggestions for gifts for just any
member of the family from grand
parents to the baby in the cradle. \
broad stretch of years but one and
all are enfolded within its compass.
Society is going to be one mad
rush of events. Dancing dates are
already so many and the evenings
are so filled with them that clubs, |
those social organizations that in
the past have given their annual !
Christmas party with dancing as an |
accompaniment. are now register !
ing on the social calendar for lunch |
cons and breakfasts. The hotels are /
going to offer settings for many OF |
these, as well as the tea rooms. The 1
Country club has little to offer in |
the way of vacancies. Tulsa's beau |
titul homes are to be the hapny |
places used for many parties and to |
do this, one finds themselves abso- |
mtely able TO recommend the de- !
oision, for not in any club home |
or hostelry can a host offer better |
and truer hospitality than can be |
shown within the portals of their |
own domain, whether 1t stands on |
fashionable boulevard with marble |
columns or II is a little brown bun |
galow on a side street.
A Tulsa matron CHANGED to meet |
p millionaire and his wife in the |
foyer Of one of the theaters one eve |
hing the past week and while wait
ing to enter, conversation drifted |
among the casualties when the |
natron addressed the financier: /
well, the monument you are erect |
Ing to yourself is surely beginning to |
mt itself towards the other sky |
scrapers about it," Needless TO say /
the one addressed is Just one OF the |
many here who are building one of !
the towering structures right in the |
heart of the city. Afterward. the |
matron thought of the look on the |
lace OF tse man. Probably he had
never thought OF it just that way.
"A monument to him." not only in
llre today, associated with his many
business activities, concerning the
building with Its daily dealings, with
architects who were weaving his
dreams into stone and plaster; a
building being erected to care for
the many people crying for business
homes and an enterprise in which
ne saw way TO invest his capital.
