MY CHRISTMAS PRAYER (With apologies to Van Dyke) Father , of all men, With a loving heart, I bless Thee: For the peace that is within our Country, For our kinspeople fond and dear. For the loving tender mercy. —Jessie Martin. A REPRODUCTION OP THE BIRD’S CHRISTMAS CAROU Carol Bird was born on Christmas Day. She was the first girl to be born in the Bird family. While her Mother was half asleep, the church choir poured forth beautiful strains of music on the frosty air and her ■ mother dreamed she and her little ones were in paradise and the angels were welcoming them. Then she realized the song they were singing was “Carol Brothers Carol,” so it in spired her mother to call her Ca:*d, not being aware of the fact her other name would be bird. Ten years of time has lapsed. Don ald, her brother, has gone to college and a great misfortune ‘has befallen the family, because Carol had a frail body and they knew some day not far off she would leave them and go to live with the angles. Although Ca ATHTiETlCS Grand Honor Roll—No Tardies CHINESE LECTURE rol was frail, she had her own per sonal charms and everyone loved her, because she was so unselfish. When she learned that Uncle .lack, who always brought bushels of fun with him, was going to spend Christ mas with her, she began to make her preparations for Christmas. She in vited the Ruggles, a poor family, who lived in the back alley, to take dinner with her. The Ruggles were all ex cited over the invitation and the mother prepared a complete outfit, as she termed it, for each one, but perhaps in standard society it would be different, for those who had hand kerchiefs did not have collars and cuffs. After dinner they were given a complete lesson in manners and as Peter said he had been taught so many manners until he could not eat any dinner, although that is yet to be seen. Carol received them very kind ly and served a dinner that made the little Ruggles’ eyes shine. After din ner they were ushered to the Christ mas tree, which Carol had fitted out with money that was intended to buy her presents. After they went home Carol was tired but very happy with the true Christmas spirit she had shown. Her mother left her alone on her bed watching a beautiful eastern star and listening to the music from the church choir, and she silently pased away. Her mother was glad she died on the happiest day of her life. —Lila Aaron. On November 15th, Miss Tucker gave a lecture on China, in which she told many interesting things about their modes of travel, dress and cus toms. She showed us some models of sedan chairs, jinrickishas and wheel barrows, which are used almost en tirely for transportation. Miss Tucker’s description of the dress of the Chinese was especially interesting, as she dressed pupils to represent the Chinese. The bride’s costume was red, which is worn only by brides. The bride wears a long veil, which is lifted after the cere mony, when she sees her husband for the first time. She always carries a large handkerchief, for her wedding day is a sad one. The truths Miss Tucker told us will help us to remem- l)er more about China. —Louise Kirkman. Grades With Bc.st Attendance Primary—Miss Reid, grade 3A, 98.15. Grammar—Miss Burgiss, grade 71, 98.45%.
