Mexico by the man whose name it
bears. Since that time this exotic
plant has become the favorite for
the yuletide season.
This shrub of tropical America
really has inconspicuous flowers.
They are in the center of the fam
ing red bracts. The actual flowers
would have small appeal were it not
for these colorful leaves, though the
real leaves of rich green are attrac-
tive, too.
For long time the successful
growing of poinsettias has been
limited to a few men who knew the
secret and guarded it well. Then it
occurred to one or two that study
OF this very popular plant would
be quite worth while. In its own en-

Santa chuckled, you're very small

slept so soundly the sun had been

planned such busy day he scarcely

at the clock.

workshop. Fairies were already
fitting about on their bright-colored
wings, working on dolls. Several
older fairies were screwing the heads
of jumping jacks into place. Some
were sewing black button eyes onto
black, woody dogs.
Tiny brown gnomes were painting
dolls furniture and green gnomes
were making watches for little boys
and fashioning gold necklaces fo1
little girls.
This is a special morning." said
Santa. Il am going to make pres
ent for girl who has her birthday
on Christmas" He set to work on q
small box of pink quartz. For an
hour he fitted tiny wheels and
springs into place. He screwed and
he oiled and then he shouted to
everyone. Listen"
He lifted the box lid and it played,
Happy birthday to you, happy
birthday to you" Mrs. Santa and
the fairies and the gnomes all ap-
plauded.
Now listen again." said Santa,
and again he lifted the box lid. This
time it played a second tune, and
that tune was just right for Christ

Santa was very pleased with the
music box He said, Hmm, I guess

fell, he put down his pipe, and said,
Good gracious!'
