Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1922-12-07

An extra room in the attic, which is
used for a sewing room and occasion
ally for a sleeping room, was made
ever so cheerful by a happy combina-
ton of ruffled curtains with a cretonne
valance and tie-backs. A gray ere
tonne printed with large roses is used
and the skirt box under this window
is covered with plain gray combined
with the Powered material. Gray
braided rugs are used on the floor and
several cast-off chairs from the living
room with slip covers of cretonne give
a honey look.

and copied it into her album. Then,
just before Christmas Of 1923, she
sent copy to the editor of the Troy
Sentinel. And that's how the verses
came to be printed in the first place.
Clement Moore like many man
with serious purpose in life, had
a hobby which he did not ride in pub
lie. His vocation was the teaching
of Biblical learning to theological stu
dents. His avocation was writing POI
etry for the edifcation and pleasure
they thought their fathers verses were
the best fun in all the world. He uni
derstood so well their likes and dis
likes and synpathized so keenly with
their joys and griefs. Sometimes the
poems contained a moral that could
be applied right at home. But in gem
eraI the verses were just sheer, clear
rollicking fun.
Clement Moore, as he related in lat7
er years, first heard the story of st.
Nicholas as told in the poem from a
Jolly fat Dutchman who lived near.
his boyhood home The Dutchman had
heard the story when boy in Hol!
land
Well, when the Christmas of 1922
drew near Clement Moore thought he
would write Christmas poem as a
present for his children. And he
picked out the Dutchman's story of
st. Nick as the subject. The Moores
lived in a big house on hill that
sloped to the Hudson. The ground
was all covered with snow. There was
q great fireplace where the Christmas
stockings we're hung. The setting was
Just right SO one evening Clement
Moore sat down in front of cheerful
blaze in the big fireplace and began
the verses that will Keep his fame
immortal as long as there are chill
dren and Christmas is celebrated.
Clement Moore was very modest
man and his personal feeling about
the verses he wrote for his children
was that they had little merit except
as verses for children-and for his
own children. And for that reason
he was reluctant to disclose bis au-
thorship. Finally, in 1914, he did pub
Iish a collection of POEMS" which
included "a Visit From st, Nicholas"
In the records Of the General Theo-
logical seminary is the following testi-
monial from it's faculty to the sterling
worth of their associate:
eve recognize in him one whom God
has blessed with selected gifts; warm
hearted in friendship, genial in society,
kindly and considerate to all; pos
sessed of fine literary tastes, poetic
instincts and expressiveness, and Of
cheerful humor withal; at the same
time well accomplished in severer stud
les and resolute for more laborious
undertakings, as his learned works in
Hebrew grammar and photography dis
tinctly testify"
"a Visit From st. Nicholas" is here
with reprinted In full And no apology
is made for reproducing poem that
millions Of children-and grownups
too-know by heart. It's not hard
work at Christmas time to run over
the old, familiar lines-theyre good
reading yet for the Oldest and crusti-
est Of us.
The few lines of verse below, print
ed just for the contrast, are the be-
ginning Of a clever Twentieth century
version from the Philadelphia Public
Ledger in which an up-to-date st. Nick
travels by airplane.

The portrait is that Of Clement Clark
Moore (1781-1863), a 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" (16O9), the
first to be published in this country.
This notable scholar and dignifed the
illogical professor was born in New
York City, the grandson of Maj
Thomas Clark, a 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
fsfry, but was not ordained.
Christmas morning, at $50 O'Clock,
several hundred Sunday school chill
dren-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
q 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.
1T is 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 cen
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 1t. And that's because it has
become so much a part Of our Christ
mas tradition and literature that it
never occurs to them that it had an
author It's like Mother Goose, you
know.
December %, 1923, the Troy IN. "
Sentinel printed the now famous poem
with the title, ga Visit From st. Mich
olas." The name of the author was
not given.
The jolly jingle met with instant
appreciation. Other new spapers pub
Iished it. City after city all over the
country copied it. 1t was published
In magazines. Next it went into the
public school readers. Then came
special editions of the poem, illustrated
by artists who had made name by
their pictures for children. Finally
it was translated into many languages.
Now it 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 it's worldwide popularity
caused him to shrink from claiming
Its authorship.
You see, he had nothing to do with
its 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. DIR. David
Butler, rector of st. PauIs church,
Troy. To her one of Clement Moore's
little daughters read the poem. The
visitor was delighted with the poem

The use of a small amount of vivid
color to relieve an otherwise neutral
color scheme is one of the cleverest
effects achieved by the modern decor
ator. Take, for example, this dining
room, furnished in oak, with the new
silver-gray rubbed finish. A lovely
wicker tray, decorated with orange
peoples on black background hangs
over the buffet. Two urns Of iri
descent glass, shading from pale yell
low to deep orange, decorate the buff
fet top The draperfes are of gray
shantung, lined with orange. Japan
csc grass cloth in gray shade, with
just a suggestion of orange, covers
the walls, and a two-toned rug of
gray completes the picture.

SAGE TEA TURNS
CRAY HAIR DARK
It's GrandmOther's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
LuStre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances Its appearance a hun
dredfo1d.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture, you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. It is called Wyetn'z
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everybody uses 'Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another applt-
cation it becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy and lustrous.-Adv
