HOSE latent souls
who are slow in
getting the spirit
Of Christmas have
only to go in the
downtown districts in the
evening and look upon the
strings of lights and laurel
rope and the beautiful Christ
mas tree in Plaza Square to
get the enthusiasm that comes
with the Christmas season.
It is lovely when the lights
are on and children must reveI
in the thought of the coming
annual event as they look
down Walnut Street, or up the
thorOughfare, as the case may
be. We heard that fourteen
hundred little tots visited
Santa Claus in the early
hours of Saturday afternoon.
Before the visits were over all
of the gift candy was exhaust
ed and tangerines were substi-
tutes. One little boy said,
holding the fruit in his hand,
Il can't pronounce what you
call this" but he held on
just the same. It is a lovely
season.
