Show The Christmas Tree Every time I see a Christmas tree studded with electric lights garlands of tinsel gold festooning every branch and hung with the hundred costly knlcknacks the storekeepers invent year by year to make trade until the tree itself disappears entirely under un-der Its burden I have a feeling that fraud has been practiced on the kindly kind-ly spirit of Yale Wax candles are tho only real thing for a Christmas tree candles of wax that mingle their perfume with that of tho burning fir not the byproduct of some coaloil or other abomination What It the boughs do catch fire They can be watched and too many candles are tawdry anyhow Also red apples oranges and oldfashioned cornucopias made of colored paper and made at home look a hundred times better and fitter In tho green and so do drums and toy trumpets and waldhorns and a rocking horse reined up In front that need not have cost 40 or anything like ItJacob nils In Century |
