Mr. and Mrs. Graham Monroe 215 Harris Ave. > i//YY by Charles Dickens The tree was brilliantly lighted by a multitude of little tapers, and every where sparkled and glitter ed with bright objects. There were rosy-eheeked dolls hiding behind the green leaves and there were real watches (with moveable hands at least and an endless capacity of being wound up) dangling from innumerable twigs. There were French-pol ished tables, chairs, bed spreads, wardrobes, eight day clocks and various oth er articles of domestic fur niture (wonderfully made, in tin. at Wolverhampton) perched among the boughs, as if in preparation for some fairy housekeeping. There were jolly, broad faced little men, much more agreeable in appearance than many real men ? and no wonder for their heads took off and showed them to be full of sugar plums. There were fiddles and drums, tambourines, books, work boxes, paint-boxes, sweetmeat boxes, peep show boxes and all kinds of boxes. There were trinkets for the elder girls far brighter than any grown-up gold and jewels. There were baskets and pincushions in all devices. There were guns, swords, and banners, ntjfli tfitcKoe cfonrlintT in enchanted rings of paste hoard to tell fortunes. There were teetotums, humming tops, needlecases, pen-wipers, smelling bot tles, conversation cards, bouquet holders. There was real fruit, made artifi cially dazzling with gold leaf, imitation apples, pears, and walnuts cram med with surprises. In short, there was every thing and more. God's love, manifested on that very first Christmas, still lights the world. May that light dwell within every heart at this holiest of seasons.
