THE SALEMITE KRISS KRINGLE VISITS SALEM ON SATURDAY EVE. Seniors and Faculty Guests at the Party. At last, when Messrs. Burrage and Tally had completed their deeds of good cheer, did the faculty and seniors all merrily rally to the Christmas spirit which invades Salem each year. For days before Kriss Kringle was duly expected, we were so excited! To tell of it would ruin the poor pen. But even then not one of us had suspected what a marvelous time we would have when the love sick juniors, bold, bad sophomores, and green young fresh men, to keep the spirit right, did send us an invitation for diimer at six on Saturday night. We packed up our wit and humor, loaded up with Yuletide cheer, and brought all our pep and elation to the happiest meal of the year. Then when the clock did point to eight at last, and all were gathered around the brightly lit tree, all of a sudden— with excited whispers—our eyes we did cast on the jolliest Kriss Kringle ’er mortals did see; all snowy and red —like a picture—Klid he look, this Santa who brought presents for all. For his pack contained everything, from hobby horses to stoves for dear cook. And indeed! there was many a hilarious shout when, with each gift, he did unveil, a jolly jingle telling what ’twas all about. Finally, when pack and tree were both left bare, we all did beg old Kriss Kringle not to return immediately to his snow bound lair. And so he stayed, while his reindeer were out side, all a-jingle. Then while fun and laughter did reign supreme, came snowy ambrosia—which food of the immortals we rightly call. Truly we would have thought it all a dream, but “It’s time to leave”, some one did squall. And so a happy evening came to its end, while we departed with hopes and wishes that from this happy Christmas custom Salem will ne’er unbend. JOKES. Amelia Galloway (hastening to Y. W. C.
