And gladly bring in wood.

I know a little fellow
Who has been quite rude in

W And he’s broken every rule);
But late he is very nice
And just as sweet as pie,
Because you know, old Santa
Claus
Is coming bye and bye.
X know • certain girlie
Who’d always.rather play
Than try to help her mamma
Or put her things away;
But now she’s just as neat and
sweet
On errands she’ll just fly.
Because, you know, old Santa
Claua
Is coming bye and bye.

GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS
GOD REST YOU, MERRY GENTLEMEN m
We are made familiar with car
ols in many various ways at this
season of the year.
Yet, although the word has been
for a long period particularly as
sociated with Christmas, it was
not always so. Authorities differ
as to its derivation, opinions
varying between Latin, Celtic and
French. In regard to the latter
che word “carole” is undoubtedly
old French, and it is still used in
the Marne to signify dance and
fete.
In olden days a carpi was a ring
dance with song accompaniment—
a ring of men and women holding
hands and moving round in danc
ing step, singing as they went.
There are many references to the
word “carol” in old English lit
erature, as for instance, the fol
lowing, from Chaucer’s ii The
Dethe of Blaunche the Duechesse”
(1369).
I saw her daunce so comely,
Carol and sing so sweetly.
And this from Shakespeare:
This carol they began that hour,
With a hey, and a ho, and a
hey nonino.
As to the association with the
word Christmas, Bishop Jeremy
Taylor says: “The oldest carol was
that sung by the heavenly host
when the birth of the Savior was
announced to the shepherds on the
pUips of Bethlehem.
The earliest Christmas caro^
was written in the fourth centur)
by Aurelius Prudentius. The old
est English carol is the “Angelus
ad Virglnem, »» contained in a
church manuscript of the thir
teenth or fourteenth century. The
first English collection of carols
was published by Wynkyn de
Worde in 1521.
Proof of the antiquity of many
English carols is to be found in
the manner of times the source or
origin is simply given as “Tradi
WITH WOMEN
OF TODAY
A number of women in this
country and abroad are greatly
concerned over the question of be
ing allowed to use their maiden
names although they have hus
bands living. Members of the
Lucy Stone League are bent on
carrying the fight to the courts
of the land and Mrs. Helena Nor

The first named has beqn, and

One hundred and twenty-two
women were elected to office in
the last election. Of these 65 are
reported married, twelve unmar

the remaining forty-five is not
reported. The advance of women
in the public service has been
more rapid than in business and
the professions. They are repre

office. No woman coroner has
been reported to date, however.
Women have made more progress
into public office in the west and
