The same kind of a Christmas we knew when
we were boys and girls, when bob-sleds
plodded merrily over country roads and the
brooding peace of Yuletide dwelt everywhere
in the hearts of men.
. . . that is the kind of an old-fashioned
Christmas we are wishing you now.
And with our wish may we extend a word
of thanks and appreciation for your contin
ued friendship and patronage.

In the second section, the glee club
divided into five parts will give a
portrayal of the first Christmas in
Bethlehem, with atmosphere music
being furnished by unseen singers.
This is to represent the music of an
gels heard by the Judean shepherds.
For this purpose, some of the oldest
Christmas music possible is being
used music which liâtes back as far
as the tenth century.

the birth of Christ as given in the
Bible, and he will be interrupted
from time to time as different groups
of glee club members sing music ap
propriate to the episodes he describes.

Ann Carson climbed quickly
down off the small stepladder she
was using to hang the glittering an
gel on the topmost bough of the
Christmas tree. The sharp clang
of the doorbell was a welcome
sound Hastening joyously she flung
the door wide open.
“For me? Come in, Timmy.” She
smiled down at the wizened old
hunchback shivering on the door
step. Ann took the package tendered
almost ceremoniously, bearing con
spicuously the label of his own small
flower shop. And with the privilege
of a lifelong friend Timmy followed
her into the warm lamplit room.
Slowly and musingly Ann untied
the bright tinsel bows. She knew
without looking what the box con
tained and as her fingers broke the
seals she seemed again to hear Jer
ry's voice, low, quivering and hurt.
They had gone to a dance that
memorable Christmas eve and
homeward through the whitening
mist she had tried, bravely, to tell
him she must marry another man.
A frantic Jerry pleading and a
strange new ache at her heart, she
had stood for a moment on the run-
charge of the Western Recruiting
Division, which includes the eleven
western states, has ordered all dis
trict recruiting stations to remain
open seven days a week during the
day and in the evenings. This order
also affects the recruiting substation
in Walla Walla, Wn.
Decide to investigate now, and be
among the first to sign up to aid in
the defense of your country.

whispered: "But, darling little Ann,
IT) love you always—always!”
lie had touched with reverent
clumsy fingers the single crimson
rose she was wearing on the soft
black fur of her evening wrap. The
touch seemed to give him an idea.
Jerry was romantic and they were
both so young. "No matter wherev
er I may be, little Ann,” he said,
“I'll send you red roses at Christ
mas time and you will know.”
"If ever,” he had added, crush
ing her close as he lifted her down,
“if ever I feel I can live without
you, when the scars of this night
heal. I’ll send white ones. Remem
ber!” and with a quick stride he
was gone.
But she had not married the other
man.
Somehow after that she
couldn't. But impulsive hot-headed
Jerry left that night, a stowaway on
a tramp steamer bound for China,
and now one, two, three, four long
years unrolled before her.
Her letters, pleading and un
ashamed had followed him half way
around the earth gathering curious
postmarks,
undecipherable,
but
eventually they had returned, tat
tered, torn—but unclaimed.
But they had come. From strange
lands in far odd corners they had
come, those orders to old Timmy the
florist for the red, red roses as red
as her own heart’s blood that now
beat so chokingly in her throat.
And she would wait, wait forever if
need be, for Jerry.
Exultantly she lifted the lid.
Roses!
But slowly over her face froze a
look of piteous unbelief. The mass
of blossoms blurred before her eyes
and Jerry’s pain-torn words rang in
her ears: “If ever I can live without
you. I’ll send white ones.” And—
these were white. As white as the
drifting snow outside. White roses!
Mutely her lips formed the words.
Oh, God, it couldn't be, after al!
these years! White roses!
“You don’t like them? I very sor
ry.” Crestfallen, apologetic, old Tim
my was turning to go. “But the
order came so late. No red ones
left for you, only leetle wilty buds
and so I peeck the beeg, beeg white
ones for you." His dim old eyes
pleaded eloquently for her under
standing.
Oh!—Oh! —breathlessly. The light
that ne'er was on land or sea came
flooding back into Ann's face and
clear as a child's faith in Santa
Claus the far-away chimes were
pealing Peace, good will to men!
Jerry had meant red roses after
all.

Christmas Brought Jesters
Medieval kings used to have fools
and jesters to amuse them. Later,
however, the wearers of the cap and
bells were not the exclusive posses
sion of kings and queens, princes,
counts, barons and bishops, for the
fashion of keeping buffoons passed
from sovereigns to corporations and
private individuals. These jesters
were then brought into requisition
during the Christmas season, and
retained to brighten up the hall and
kitchen with their witty sayings and
practical jokes.
V
CI N old fashioned Christmas
. .. the kind of a Christmas that helped make
the gay 90’s gay . . . yes, the kind of a Christ
mas that the old family album could tell
about so eloquently—that’s the kind of a
Christmas we wish for you and yours.
We’re grateful for your patronage during
the past year, and hope for a continuance of
our pleasant relations.
