MERRY CHRISTMAS
indeed, it was for the
company which gath
ered at The Inn from all
sections of the Village
on Monday, for an old
time Xmas tree; gath
ered much as children
gather, for an evening
long to linger in cherished memory. Best
of all, no one was forgotten, two mon
ster cedars upon either side of the stage,
sparkling with dainty souvenirs for
young and old ; assignment by lot intro
ducing a quaint element of mystery. Mr.
Charles Todd Parks of New York was
an ideal Kris Kringle whose mirth was
irresistible; graciously assiskd by Mrs.
Parks, Mrs. Frank Wight of Rockland,
Me., and Miss Mary S. Hayes of New
Bedford, to whom all credit for the suc
cess of the affair was due. From time to
time clever jingles which added to the in
terest of the evening, were read by
Santa Claus, the list including many of
the best known of the company, conclud
ing with a tribute to the ladies of the com
mittee and an appreciation for Santa him
self. .Refreshments were served at inter
mission and dancing rounded out the even
ing ; Paul Jones, Virginia reel and Jeru
salem figures adding variety to the pro
gram. Among the verses were :
Mr. Leonard Tcfts
"Pinehurst Forever!"
The Slogan rings true
This, my dear Leonard's
Our greeting to you.
Mr. II. J. Heinz
Believe me, my fair Pittsburg,
You'd be robbed of much fame ;
But for the "fifty-seven"
All of which bear this name.
Rev. Dr. David Gregg
From the Borough of Brooklyn
We welcome friend Gregg;
To accept our best wishes
Is the favor we beg,
Mr. C. R. Capps
Just so you may come again,
We are sending you this train,
If you can run it real well
Don't fall to tell "S. A. L."
Rev. Dr. E. M. Wood
It may not seem quite "proper"
To attach the name to him;
But he'd sure deserve the title
If they'd call him "Sunny Jim."
Mr. Benjamin Thaw
From the city of Carnegie
A name we speak with awe
We are always glad to welcome
The family of Thaw.
Mr. Allan Lard
In the field of sporting
He has won much renown;
Naturally Lard's arrival's
Of Int'rest to the town.
Mr. F. Louis Clark
When tired of globe trotting,
Turn your bteps this way;
You're assured a welcome
Make a longer stay.
Mr. Thomas J Check
In the circle lauding Pinehurst
Praises by the peck
You will always find a leader
In the golfer, Thomas Check.
Dr. Mvron W. Marr
We know, dear Doctor, you will feel
Most grateful for this aut-mo-beel;
Because, since you made that trip,
Your oldsmobile has had the "pip."
Manager H. W. Priest
Rather fond of hunting,
And owns a motor car ;
But 'tis as "mine host"
That he shines a "Star."
Mr. H. W. Ormsbee
Of course you've heard of
The Tin Whistle Club?
This is "Pop" Ormsbee
Who's really its "Hub."
Mr. C. B. Hudson
Sir Hendricks, we greet thee,
In the Village of the pine;
If you'll win the "United,"
We'll "hang you on the line."
Mr. George a. Mosher
We feel we really ought to
Give this to one of fame
In the hope he'll get a patent
And call it by his name.
Mr. Walter J, Travis
Bein'g you're most always "up"
We are sending you this cup.
Add it to your collection,
But don't permit inspection.
Mr. W. H. Micou
Says he's from New York
With Fifth Avenue and a bus
Dallies with the golf links, .
But mostly loves to "fuss."
Mr, James T. Twitty
We know the fox is crafty,
That he's fleet indeed,
Perhaps you may catch him
If you ride this little steed,
Mr. Spencer Waters
A year ago, dear Spencer,
T'was only me and thee;
But now we're most happy,
To note that it is three.
Manager A. I. Creamer
We don't need to tell you
That he comes from Maine;
For ne'er more diplomatic
Was our belov'd Blaine,
Mr. Wilbur Johnson
From the haunts of Hiawatha
Noble Birdie's come;
A wild and woolly Indian
Watch him make things hum.
Mr. E. a. Tracy
Always 'tis a pleasure
When we hear them say;
"Mr. and Mrs. Tracy
Are back again to stay."
Mr. W. E. Truesdell
They tell me that Truesdell
Is an easy name to rhyme;
Must confess I'm puzzled,
Also sadly pressed for time !
Mr. Frank Wight
A Sunny disposition,
Has our room clerk, Wight;
Try to get him angry,
Try with all your might !
Mr. W. H. Davis
PInehurst's friends are legion
They come on every train
We are esrecially glad to see them
y When they come from Maine,
To The Ladies of The Committee
To you, most gracious ladies,
For an evening hap'ly spent
Token of appreciation
These violets are sent.
Mr. C. T. Parks
To you, dear Santa,
We most grateful are;
May success attend you
On your travels far.
