C. o Christmastime is a beautiful season; yet it may bring anything but happiness to many people. It may bring lonesomeness, sorrow, or even tragedy. These things, per haps, we should expect as a matter of course. But how much could be avoided if those concerned would use a better choice—would use better judgment? 1 am led to this moralizing by the following folk ballad which I am presenting this week. It tells its own story; and I wish I had a more cheerful one to give. But for young people who may tend to be wreckless this Christmas tide, it may cause them to be more care ful. if perchance they read it. It is called: The Frozen Girl or Charlotte Charlotte lived by a mountain side, In a wild and lovely spot. No dwelling there for three miles around, Except her father’s cot. Her father liked to see her dressed Gay as the city bells, For she was the only child he had. And he loved his daughter well. It being almost Christmas time; The nights being long and cold. When she to the frozen window went To see the sleighs go by. As restless beamed her sparkling eyes, His well-known voice she heard. Came driving up to the cottage door, Fair Charles’ sleigh appeared. “There is a merry ball tonight, Within fifteen miles off; The air is freezing cold and dark, But our hearts are warm and light.” “Charlotte, dear,” her mother said, “Those blankets around you fold, For it is a dreadful night abroad, And you’ll catch your death of cold.” “Oh, no, oh, no,” Charlotte said, Loaded like some gypsy queen. “To go with blankets all muffled up, I never could be seen.” Her bonnet and her cloak went on As she stepped into the sleigh; And over the hill by the mountain side So merrily they passed away. “It is a dreadful night,” said Charles, These reigns I scarce can hold.” Charlotte said in a feeble tone, “I am extremely cold.” He cracked his whip and urge'd his steed Buchanan's 5 i 0 f Store Swannanoa, N.

He moved the mantle from her brow; While the stars upon her shown. She was quickly taken to the lighted hall. Her life'ess form he bore, For Charlotte was a frozen corpse And never spake any more. He twined his arms around her neck, And kissed her marble brow; His thoughts went back to where she said, “I’m growing warmer now.” Charles went back to her father’s house. Her father no harsh words spoke, For he saw by the sadness on his brow That Charles’ heart was broke. They laid her in her grave next day. Charles and his friends were there. And in her grave that day he laid His love and affections dear. The state of California will con tinue to enforce midnight closing of bars and, taverns, despite a San Francisco Municipal Court decision that the wartime restric tion has expired and that 2:00 a. m. is the deadline.
