at the growing activity of the Com

They had talked over the dinner,

had decided on the kind of Christmas
tree they wanted; Eric had gone out
two days ago and chopped it down.
They had trimmed 1t with the glitter

lights. They had shopped furiously,
buying quantities of jokes and silly
presents. These two young things,
very much in love and full Of zest and
ideas, swept away the more obvious
entertainments in one gesture. They
were as excited as children.
Then at 200 O'clock of the after
noon the day before Christmas, while
Eric was chuckling to himself over
some ridiculous gift he was wrapping
up for Sally, the telephone rang.
Eric talked very hurriedly into the
transmitter. And in low tone, Sally
could hardly hear what he said. When
he hung up the receiver he announced
that he must leave for town at once.
"But Why" asked Sally.

In childhood / was taught to see
A moral lesson in the bee,
Who spent his days in active labor,
Accounted with singing saber,
The use of which he'd never shirk
If small boys meddled with his work
So all day long he fetched and carried
He never played, nor loved, nor
married.
To my small mind the bee seems

He worked 1 loafed and ate his honey.
