It ne?er comes to Christmas
think about the times
We used to save our pennies
our nickels and our din
And we bunched them all togi
even little baby brother
Putin something for the preser
we always gave to moth
Wo began to talk about it very
in December,
Twas a very serious matter
children, I remember,
And we used to whisper night]
suggestions to eaoh oth<
For by nothing cheap and ta
V could we show our loi
mother.
Hers must be a gift of beauty,
symbolize her ways;
It must represent thesweetnes
the love that marked her
It must be the best our mom
combined, had power tc
_And be somethiag that she h
T tor;nothing else would s?
V
Then it mattered not the token
the purchase had been i
It was smuggled home and h
and with other treasures
And we placed our present pr
in her lap on Christmas
And we smothered her with I
and we laughed her tears
It never comes to Christmas
think about the times
Wo used to save our pennie
l
our niciteis ana our urn
And the only folks I envy &r
sisters and the brother!
Who still have the precious pri
of buying for their motl

It's Christmat

For it's Christmas time again,

Ifs time for & Christian land to raise
Her loudest paeans of lore and
praise
For the Holy Babe of the Bethlehem
days,
For it's Christmas time again.
There's a wreath of green at the
windowpane,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the church bells echo the glad
refrain,
For it's Christmas time again.
Oh, it's time to turn with the golden
smile
To the friend we doubted and
scorned awhile,
To rid our hearts of their greed and
guile!
For it's Christmas time again.
?Lalia Mitchell in
Ladies' Home Journal,
Passing Christmas
Eve Outdoors
WK all slept under the Btara. a*
usual, an Christmas eve. To
shut oneself up In a room from
the delirious South African night la
Imply to miss one of the Joys of 11t?
lng. "No one knows the stars who
has not slept, as the French hnppllj
put. It. a In belle etolle. lie may know
all their names and distances and nmf
nltudes and yet be ignorant of what
alone concerns mankind?their serenf
and gladsome Influence on the mind."

One groat advantage of the long
drought from which we had been suf?
ferlng?In Ithodesla one must needs bo
an optimist or die?Is that there were
practically no mosquitoes and very few
Hies, so that the stutllness of a rao>
qulto curtain was unnecessary.
The night was cool and silent, except
for the dlstunt howl of a Jackal
and the occasional hoot of an owl?
About five o'clock the life of day began
to stir, und the sun gradually turned
the mopanl and mimosa trees to g
golden green and bathed us In tho
cent of mimosa blossom, the go away
bird called Impertinently from a bush
Close by, and two green parrakeotn
flew over our heads.
Then one little sleeper after anotheg
rubbed his eyes and crept to the foot
of the Le4 to fathom the treasures of
the Christmas stocking. As the still
rose higher tongues were loosened, sag
soon crackers cracked, and trumpet^
six of them, were heralding the mor%
If not exactly In the manner of 'Jie am
gels.
The noise worried no one. Bat when
we had had enough we dispersed ft#
seek baths, and some of us were OTSM
energetic enough to have a round of
golf before breakfast.?"The Heart of
the Veld," by Madeline Alston.
