holiday season is taking on a new tone
;jl is uecuumii; mine ul u puuiic mun
ition, participated in by the orgaui.ed
public, and less the chimney corner
I celebration of the family. Not thut
I the home Christmas is being done away
I with, but that the celebration which
reaches "the lonesome poor and rich,"
that is participated in by tho church,
.charity organizations and the municip
ality, is forging to the front all over
tho country.
Official Christmas Trees,
The biggest thing ill this movement
is the municipal Christmas tree, which
! serves as n rallying place fur all who
have no Christ mas trees of their own
and who are yet touched by the holiday
spirit. It is truly "the people's Christ
mas tree" and worthy of erection ml
every city, town, village and hamlet.
In I1H2 it blazed forth for the first!
;time. Mrs. K. I). I.. Mi'i reshuff of!
New York City was the woman uf iu
' spiiiiiiciu and vision in the east who
;originated the idea. Siie coinniuni
cute I her plan to her friends. It was
jtake-.i up by the press ami filially de
cided to have its first municipal Christ
'mas tree.
.Madison square was selected as tlu'
point at which me nrst tree simuiii no
set up. From over the mountains one
:."0 feet tall was ordered. It was labor
iously put ill place, elaborately hung
with decorations, dazzling illuminated
(with electric lights. To these Mappings
of man was added a sitting down of
I nature's snow, which scattered count
less crystals in all the linim-iics of thiM
sninll park.
At sundown the chimes burst forth j
from tin' lul'tv heights of the mctinpnl- j
itnn tower near by. Soon trumpeters
npp.Mied lit the different enlunu cs of
the square sounding the t'nnlnio from
" I'li'Ml'al.'' From the church of Lr. '
I hmles II, I'nrhhiirst poired forth n ;
choir to lend the enroling. As the!
st ruins of "Stilly Night" broke upon:
the air there filed into the pink the
lonely ones from all the mctiopulitaii
milli.nii. From sundown until mid
night the star of Mi llileliem twinkled
I'niiii thi' tree-top, and the hordes uf
people thnt surged lack ami lortli ab
sorbed n bit of the l hristnias spirit
that they inifcht nut otherwise iiave
of the holiday spirit. Seven Christinn i
trees were set up in different parts of
llolden' Cute park.

of this system of farming, anil the wa
