To thoso trappings of ! man was added a sifting down of nature's snow, whloh scattered count less crystals In all the branchos of' I tho small park. j At sundown tho chimes burst forth from the lofty heights of tho ! metropolitan tower near by. Soon ' trumpeters appeared at tho different .entrances of tho square sounding tho Ifanfaro from "Parsifal." From tho church of r. Charles II. Parkhurst poured forth a choir to lead the caroling. As tho strains of "Stilly J Night" broko upon tho air there filed ! Into the park tho lonely ones from all; tho metropolitan millions.
