life; it makes them feel Christmasy—
and the gay smiles they get when
they put down their dimes and quar.

age local color—in every sense of the
term. There is far too little of the

that holly is among the finest local
exhibits; we must not allow it to be
destroyed.
For those who hesitate to give up
the old way, wondering if perhaps
their quarters will mean difference
between a Christmas dinner and none
