What the Christmas "Waits" Sing S ANTA CLAUS being about to de sert the city streets for his annual reindeer ride over the roofs, the "waits" prepare to sing their centurie.s old carols. In several American cities has been revived the beautiful old custom of the "waits" going about from house to house sInging the familiar old sopgs. Light the Christmas candles in your window if you want them to stole be fore your home I God rest you merry, gentlemen; lei nothing/ you dismay they will surely sing that, perhaps the best known of all old Englisl cauols. And this too: Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn king. And, of course, "0 Little Town of Bethlehem." I'erhaps, too, they will sing what is said to be the earliest known Christ uns carol, dating from the Anglo-Nor man days of the thirteenth century, which begins: Lordlings, listen to our lay We have come from far away To seek Christmas. In this mansion we are told He his yearly feasts doth hold; 'Tis today! May joy come from God above To all those who Christmas love. This carol ends with the toast of those (lays: "Here, then, I bid you all wassall, cursed he he who will not say drink hall." Wassail" meaining your health and ''drinkhall" heing the usual and courteous acknowledgmuent. One of the best known of all the old carols, although not one of the oliest. was written by Nahum Tirate in 170;; and is cnlled the "Song of the Angels." 'It begIns: While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All scated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down And glory shone around. Many are the carols in which Brit aIn's ancient holly figures. "Then drink to the holly berry," pledges one writer of songs, while another in "Un der the IHoly Bough" summons "All ye l J -LIl Singing; at the oors 1/!71 who haive scorned each other or injur ed( frIend or- broth1er, coime gaither here."' And thn there's thiat grand 01ld hymn "Adeste l"Ideles,"' suing in every church ini this landIz and hn others, at this Chiristmans season: Oh, come, all ye faithfuel, Joyful and triumnphiant! CJome ye, oh, co-me ye to Bethlehem I Christmans would not he ChlrIst mas, of course, If the "walts" were to nteg bect one oilher of thle most15 beautIful of eld1 carols: H~ohl night, peaceful night! Through the dIarkness beams a light. Holy night, peaceful night! Through the darkniess beams a light! Yonder, where they sweet vigils keep O'er the babe who, in silent Bleep, Rests in heavenly peace, Rests in heavenly peace. If there are any of you who have in mind an after Christmas dlinner even ing of song to the accompaniment of a harpsichord, a spinet, a lute or a plano or even the modern and much adver tised disk macliae, It might be wvell to try this on the company: "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." Hark! The herald anagels sing, Glory to the newborn king; Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled! Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies, ' With the angelic host proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem. Hark! The herald angles sing, Glory to the nwborna kiun Mr. FARKMER rI Why Do You Build a House---Then Let it Go to Wreck A EYOU Aware of the fact that the los by de terioration of your rous e gfr onz. year WOL.d e ai ly buy enough paint to paint it:, beides adding a lot to its looks, sanitation, light cormfort and valuz?

All iny shopping had been done (or so I thought) when I suddenly re Inembered hearing nly eldest son, a lad of eight years, say, "Oh, I hope Santa will bring mei a harmonicon this Christmas," says a writer in the New York Evening Sun. Of course I could not disregard such a wish, and, although it was raining, I put on my storm coat anId rubbers and with umbrella in handi started out for one of our irge departmnent stores. On arriving lit the counter where this particular tIicle was displayed I fo'uond every one so hisy I could not ' ; ' _ _I y The '1 .do Boys Looked at Me. get attention for somne titne, :nd while waiting ily tin 1 noticed two sadly neglectel looking little boys of about six and eight years respectively stand ing very close to the counter and look Ing. ohl, so longingly at these stone hlar nineicons, when suddenly one of the young saleswilnlen tirned sharply ;arounl and( in i lod( voi(' said, "Now, t hen, if you two hoys (lon't get away f'roinl here at once ll enll the tloor walker, andi lavte you arrested." At the tinte this sl(bin attack was iniade upon these pour little wailfs I was holding in mIly hands two of these sainel1 1tuu slial ilstruients, trying to lecide which of the wo kinds I would take. The larger one t of the boys looked up at uie with a frightened look, its if to say. "Ih. we didn't Itenn to- steal any thing," wienh I said.
