When the grease Is on the criddle
And the batter's In the crock
Life's worth living winter morning.
When you rise at 8 O'Clock.
When the cakes are on the gridae
And the sirup's In the jug;
When the coffee has been settled
And the fire is warm and snug;
When you smell the breakfaa reao"
And you hear the get up KNOCK
There's a lot of Joy In living
Though you rise at 8 O'Clock
When the buckwheats reach the IaD's
Mountain high and piping hot;
When with strip and with oufter
They glide to the proper spot,
When you've eaten all you're aO's'
Full of "bucks" your wife mas 'e1-

OH portrait tnat hangs on
The portrait is that of Clement Clark
Moore Q7sl-1S63), founder of the
seminary who gave it the whole block
Known as Chelsea square. Moreover,
from 1921 to 1850 he was the professor
Of Biblical learning and was professor
emeritus from then until his death.
And In addition he compiled "He-
brew and English Lexicon" (1S09), the
6rst to be published in this country.
This notable scholar and dignified the
illogical professor was born in New
York City, the grandson of Maj.
Thomas Clark, q retired officer of the
British army, and son of the Rt. Rev.
Benjamin Moore, third president Of
Columbia university and second bishop
Of New York. He studied for the min
Istry, but was not ordained.
? Christmas morning, at 8 80 o'clock,
several hundred Sunday school chill
eren-maybe as many as a thousand
will march from the new Chapel Of
the Intercession In New York City with
trumpeters and banners, singing
Christmas carols as they go. and lay
3 great wreath on a tomb In famous
old Trinity cemetery. This tomb Is
that Of this same grave and reverend
professor Of Biblical learning and COM
piler Of a Hebrew lexicon. And this
memorial celebration is now feature
Of Christmas day.
II II likely that this Christmas the
theological students and the Sunday
school children will add special fea-
lures to their memorial celebration. For
Clement Clark Moore is, as everybody
should know, the man who wrote
s"Twas the Night Before Christmas
and this Christmas season Is the GEN.
tennial Of the writing Of the poem that
has gone around the world and is the
delight Of children wherever Santa
Claus is known. OF course there are
lots Of people who do not know who
wrote IT, And that's because 1t has
become so much a part of our Christ
mas tradition and literature that 1t
never occurs to them that 1t had an
author. It's like Mother Goose, you
know.
December %, 1923, the Troy IN. ~
Sentinel printed the now famous poem
with the title, "a Visit From st. Mich
olas." The name Of the author was
not given.
The jolly Jingle met with instant
appreciation. Other new spapers pub
1ished 1t. City after city all over the
country copied 1t. 1t was published
In magazines. Next 1t went into the
public school readers. Then came
special editions of the poem. illustrated
By artists who had made a name by
their pictures for children. Finally
tt was translated into many languages.
Now 1t may be heard almost all over
the world.
And all this time the name Of the
author was unknown The fact is that
Professor Moore was not exactly
pleased over the publication of the
poem and Its worldwide popularity
caused him to shrink from claiming
IT. authorship.
You see, he had nothing to do with
IT. original publication. The poem
was written for his children and was
strictly for family use. But In the
winter of 1922. shortly after the poem
was written, the family had as visitor
the eldest daughter of Rev. DR.. David
Butler. rector Of st. Paurs church.
Troy. To her one Of Clement Moore,s
little daughters read the poem. The
visitor was delighted with the poem

MISS BANCROFT
IN GOLF PLAY

BOSTON. March 22.-Mrs Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory national indoor
and turf singles champion. made
her first appearance in the women's
annual national indoor tennis tour
nament on the Longwood covered
courts yesterday and with the
usual result She won two matches
in the singles and was also trium-
phant in the women's doubles.
Mrs Marion zlnderstein Jessup.
Of Wilmington. Del, closest rival OF
the champion: Miss Leslie Bancroft.
OF Wilmington, Del. Miss Edith ST.
Courtney. OF South orange, y. j.. and
Miss Csroma Winn. OF The West side
Tennis Club. were among the other
favorites to come through success
fully.
The mixed doubles entry consists
OF twenty-five teams. among them
Mrs. Mallory and w. d. Tilden 2d,
Mrs. Jessup and Irving G. Wright
and three or four other combina-
tions Of almost equal strength. IL
Is the highest quality field in this
event that has competed in recent
years.
Mrs. Mallory's singles matches
yesterday did not hold the interest
they might have. had the opposition
that faced her been stronger. II was
taken for granted before she started
that the national title-holder would
win. which was sufficient to rob the
situation OF any thrills for the gal
lery.
Mrs Jessup figured in the best
singles match OF the day when she
defeated Miss Martha Bayard, OF
Short Hills. n. j.. by score OF 6-4,
So. After trailing in each set, Miss
Bayard made a great rally, squaring
the games score in both sessions and
forcing Mrs. Jessup to travel at her
fastest pace. Miss Bayard's most ef-
fective shot was fast, low fore
hand drive down the side line or
her return OF service. and she scored
many clean aces in this way. But
Mrs. Jessup was more severe and
more confident when she took the
net position. earning many a point
by beautiful backhand volleys al
sharp angles across court. Today
the former national clay court
champion meets Miss Baker for the
place in the top semi-final bracket.
