AS you climb the rocky banks of life
And wade the rippling streams,
You'll find that life is not,
Just pack of lovely dreams.
You may be fore fortunate
And earn better living;
Then tighten up your heart
With the spirit of giving
It may he sick person
Or an unfortunate One;
So lend your heart to giving
And make their Christmas a happy
one.

However that might be, the lit
tie folks in their bright sweaters,
with bits of holly stuck in the
stocking caps, were like something
out of the illustrations in my old
nursery-rhyme books. They played
FRANKS on each other, -piped their
