Every time that Christmas conies tinuiml again wo wonder why we iKivt-n't cultivated the Christmas spirit all the year. Here's hoping that all our soldier 1'oys, ou land and sea, will have a few Christmas plums on the day" of good will even though this year they may be mostly in- the pudding. Probably the girls are saying the same thing this year' that they have said every year in the past "Well, I'm going to start making presents right away for next Christmas." We get most of the enjoyment of Christmas out of the dreams that come before and after. Oh, to dream of it before it comes, to enjoy it while it is here, and to appreciate it when it har- gone! At least we are reasonably sure of one thingwhich is that no soldier will have to go without a good Christmas Christ-mas dinner. Well, this is as it should be, since to paraphrase our old friend, Mr. Dryden surely the brave deserve the fare. Not namin' any names, we are willing wil-ling to admit that there are folks in this world whose Christinas dinner doesnt interest us in the least except ex-cept that we hope they'll have plenty of food for reflection, and that after the meal is over they'll get their just desserts.
