THIS crusade against the gathering
of holly and Christmas greens is
only so much propaganda. You can

woman who knows all about it--and
possibly more.
She was sitting on a box, and the
box was on the bricks. An old-time
quilt covered her lap and was tucked
under to keep her feet comfy. 1t was
an old, old quilt that had been washed
until it's pinks and blues and green's
had faded into ghosts of colors, with
the batting showing in stringy breaks
that time and tub had made between
them.
She was only one in double line of

The ancient woman was selling
stingy little punches of holly for 20
cents, and a tumble Of nondescript
greens. some of them recognizable as

you are nigh on to 80 yeahs old. with
a misery IN your jints, an your eyes
