A.ST year we had much more
over the Christmas tree
I K S than ever before because
each parcel was^wrapped in
such a way that it was im
possible to guess what it contained.
To stimulate the children’s inge
nuity, a prize of a box of candy was of-
fered to the member of the family
who displayed the greatest cleverness
in wrapping gifts. This was won by
eight-year-old Jack. He hung a string
of remarkably lifelike sausages upon
the tree, as an offering to his mother.
When the strings were untied half-a-
dozen hemstitched
handke r c h i e f s
tumbled out. Each
handkerchief had
first been rolled in
a small cardboard
and then wrapped
in mottled paper.
A close second
to Jack’s was a fountain
pen
concealed in a candle made of thin
pasteboard wrapped in white tissue
paper twisted to a point at the
top to represent the wick and black
ened with a drop o f ink to show that
the wick had been lighted. This was
stuck into the kitchen candlestick be
fore placing it under the tree where
it presented a very realistic appear

Robt. A. Krims and a friend of Port

country with Dr. B, F. Giesy and Zeno

Swift an acrobat goes by,
To boyhood’s marveling,
And fascinated eyes rove high
To watch the wonder thing.
But, heart o f mine! across my sight
There floats a little homemade kite.

•With fifty feet o f track.
His modern spirit skims the plain
And brooks no holding back.
O Christmas when I used to bless
:My key-wound flfty-cent express!
My little girl I must amuse,
And so I buy at view
1A doll that wears French high-heeled shoes
And silken stockings too!
Y et lo! a vision from above—
My sister’s doll, o f rags and love!
O dear, dead days that brought to me
My earliest burst of speed,
When Santa placed beneath the tree
My first velocipede!
Yet my son tells the Christmas Czar
He’ s got to have a motorcar.

W hat joys you held apart!
Qke! how those mittens, thick and red,
Warmed both my hands and heart!
But now my wife I have to buy
A pair o f auto gauntlets high.

Amid the costly show,

The penny candles glow.

Again hangs on a branch of you!
