There are the almost happy people / f t
People who sometimes tic k e r and
quarrel, make speeches only half 1ZP
m eant which sound twice as harsfi ' f t
C hristm as comes and they rouse them- / f t
helves. A fter all, there Is happlne*; a i
for them. The wives with loving sly 1
ness make little sacrltlces and hay the ' f t
husbands gifts they know will be ac ' f t
ceptable. The husbands rush nt the last
minute Into gaily /ft
decorated shops, /ft
purchasing those >ft
gifts they know / f t
will be accepta
ble. They have / f t
paid more atten /ft

There are the poor families, buying /ft
w hat toys they can for th eir children
v.-ho have the same eyes as all chil
ien. Eyes which see doll's carriages,
train s of cars, dolls, mechanical toys, /ft
books. Eyes which look deeply into
the windows of shops. Perhaps those /ft
more financially fortunate will lead
them Into shops and let them realize /ft
some of th eir dreams.
There are the charity children, chib /ft
dr en who receive dinners given by
charitable organizations, being photo /ft
graphed so th at those who are Inde
pendent may feel undisturbed by all
th at they possess. Children whose
pictures reveal a t times a little sham e
a little shyness th at they must be
photographed when eating a regular
meal. And yet they know the meaning
of Christmas, too. This, for them. Is
good luck. P erhaps it can be made
better.
A Merry Christmas.
Three words—but synonymous with
those three words are many others -
children, children's gay, excited, happy
voices, paren ts with home coming
song and daughters, gifts and generos
ity.
C hristm as trees, appealing,y

A Merry Christmas.
