Merry Christmas to All
Christmas
CTime
By THOMAS A. CLARK
Dean of Men. University of Illinois
C®, 1924, WeBtern Newspaper Union.)
F ALL the Illusions
of childhood, I
up with most re¬
luctance those that
clustered around
Christmas.
The old saint who
climbed down the
chimney into the
fireplace In our sitting room and
filled our stockings on Christ¬
mas Eve was as real to me as
Moses or George Washington or my
grandfather or any other person of
whom I had heard but whom I had
never personally met. He Is to me
real today when I am In reminiscent
moods, perhaps because I have always
wanted him to be real. Long after I
recognized all the subterfuges which
were being practiced on me as a child
at Christmas time, I never admitted
them even to myself, for T was quite
willing to submit to the deceptions; I
was made happy by all the ceremonies
nnd surprises.
I have never in all my life been
away from home at Christinas time; I
hope I never shall be. Christmas joys
are for me the most delightful; Christ¬
mas memories, the most precious.
Everything about our holiday prepara¬
tions at home was of the simplest
character, but the season was full of
possibilities nnd surprises. The din¬
ner lacked the conventional roast tur¬
key. Instead there was a roast goose
or a huge joint of roast beef (following
the English exstom with which my
mother was familiar) with suet dump¬
lings and gravy. There was always,
too, a loaf of spiced bread nnd plum
pudding with a delightful sauce of
drawn better, and there was mince
pie followed with nuts and raisins and
other goodies.
Just ns “home” always suggests to
me cpgnr cookies, hot from the oven,
with mother warning me not to eat so
many as to make myself sick, so Christ¬
mas Invariably brings to my mind the
thought of raisins. They ware in the
spiced bread which mother made, the
plum pudding was congested with
them, I found them always on Christ¬
mas morning in my stocking with other
good things to eat, nnd there was reg¬
ularly on Christmas flay a dish of them
on the table to be eaten after dinner.
It was not altogether what we had to
eat that gave < hristmas such a high
place In my regard, though that helped
materially, no doubt. It was the mys¬
tery, the antielpation, the preparation
and the surprise of it all; the gather¬
ing together of all the family, the
games, the roaring fire In the fireplace,
nnd the general hilarity nnd good will
prevailing that made Christmas for me
the best loved of all the holidays of
1 die entire year.
“We are rather outgrowing Christ¬
mas,” a friend said to me a few days
ago. “I don’t believe it is ever going
to be for any one again Just as It used
to be.”
I suppose not! though there are some
events connected with the celebration
of Christmas, there Is the real Christ¬
mas which I am sure I shall never out¬
grow. If I should hang up my stock¬
ing by the fireplace now, I feel Just as
sure as I ever did that old Saint Nick
would get In some way before morn¬
ing and fill It as he used to do when
I was a child. My faith In Christmas
has never waned, and my need for It.
I practice economy badly at any time,
but with the greatest difficulty at
Christmas time, and especially since
the prices of my own particular varie¬
ties of frankincense and myrrh have
been so affected by the economic con¬
ditions. It Is what is In our henrts that
makes Christmas real. The song of
the angels Is In the air If the Christ¬
mas spirit is in our hearts, Christmas
Is as great a reality as It ever was, If
we will make It so, and for us all the
angels are again proclaiming as they
did that night In Palestine, centuries
ago, "Glory to God In the highest, and
on earth pence, good will toward men.”
I shall hang up my stocking at
Christmas Eve, there will be raisins
In It In the morning. I huve faith that
the old Christmas joys will be mine
once more.

bachelor of fifty. Then, too, every¬
body loved him, which is a very pe¬
culiar thing about a successful busi¬
ness man with competition, you’ll ad¬
mit.
This year Holcomb was very busy,
nnd his Christmas gifts—general gifts,
you know—hadn’t even occurred to
him until two days before the day.
He was passing through a new
street between a restaurant and his
office, when he saw a small shop with
windows crammed with toys—nothing
but toys. At this season, nearly the
middle of the afternoon, a toy shop
ought to be crowded with customers.
This shop was closed. On the steps
stood a small, anxious looking man,
and a big one dangling a large key. It
looked like a store key.
Seemed peculiar. So Holcomb went
to the steps.
“Like to look at the toys,” he began.
“Can’t now," boomed the big man.
“This chap can’t pay a bill, so I’ve
taken It. Auction day after tomorrow.
Pm sheriff.”
“Meaning,” said Holcomb, "that If
the bill Is paid, the store belongs to
this man again? How much?"
“Of course—-and $200.”
“What's It all worth?" to the little
man.
“About $50 if sold at auction," de
Jeetedly. “I picked a bum street. Ne
business.”
“What did you pay or agree to pay?”
“$500.”
“What will you sell for?”
“Can’t sell until—” nodding toward
the sheriff.
Holcomb counted out $200, and
passed It to the sheriff.
“Good-by," he said. “Now what do
you ask?” to the small man.
“I’d rather like $300, but will be
glad to accept half that,”
Holcomb counted out the $300.
“Give me the key,” to the sheriff.
“Thank you. Now where can I find
two men to move the toys?”
‘Til be one,” beamed the man out
of business. “I know about toys. And
I can get another man from the next
building."
“Do so, and I’ll bring round my car
from the next corner.”
Inside of an hour the shop was
emptied and the limousine filled. Then
Holcomb took the most country of all
the country roads, stopping at every
house that showed signs of children.
“Hello-o,” he would call to any small
boy or girl he happened to see; “got
some stuff for your house. Flease take
it In for me. Ym in a hurry. Give you j
a quarter." !
He had provided a pocket heavy
with loose quarters.
There were about three hours cl
daylight. When the daylight was gone j
the car was empty. He was glad of
the darkness, for he had to go back I
by tha seme road.

mountains. And marvelous ts the
beauty and scenery they bestow upon
mortals.
We wanted to look at the mountains
from this quaint little settlement with
its wooden sidewalks now crisp with
sparkling frozen snow.
So that we might have a few hours
longer to walk about we arranged to
arrive very early In the morning. The
sun was not up. Almost we wished
we had not so decided. But we were
told we could have an excellent break¬
fast at the Chinaman's. And to the
Chinaman’s we went
He had never made orange juice—
but he understood what we meant
when we explained it to him.
His portions of everything were
enormous. His place was never closed.
When he slept his brother kept It
open. It was Immaculately clean. H«
didn’t mind if you went Into his
kitchen and helped yourself to your
second cup of coffee or tea—It was a
shining kitchen, a kitchen of which
any man ■would be proud!
Ah, this was a!! so nice. Here we
were, far away from every traveler
and tourist, on a beautiful Christmas
holiday, about to take a splendid walk,
having a hot, delicious breakfast, un¬

OLCOMB did things :
in a peculiar way
—a peculiarly nice
way, though. It af¬
fected his Christ¬
mas gifts, his butil
ness, even his
friendships. But
human beings. all of those fellows
were.
Their voices rose higher.
“Oh, of course! Nothing conld >e
simple and sweet and nice. Always
men had to be..talking obeutvwome.n,
about their charms, about their capa¬
bilities, their powers, their “beautiful
lines.”
Here they were; all discussing wbat
"beautiful lines” “site” had, boasting,
each taking so proprietary an Interest
In her. And she had them all dangling
after her 1
Oh, yes; human nature was the
same, no matter where you went. Al¬
ways men were thinking of women or
talking of them, or longing for their
society. The Interesting little- China¬
man and his clean kitchen and h!s
eager willingness to Serve nnd thp
newspapers he had about to amuse
his guests—he wasn’t so Interesting
any more. Doubtless he, too, was
thinking of some Chinese “she.”
Couldn’t one get away from it for a
little while—'way off here, for ex¬
ample?
Couldn’t we feel the beautiful, pure
spirit of Christmas for a sustained
length of time?
And there we sat—mortified.
It was our human nature that was
the same no matter where we went.
It was because we thought people
were all the same.
We had thought “she” was a woman.
“She” was a new engine, and they
called her their Christmas love. For
the trainmen loved her and her power
and her beautiful lines and her at¬
tractiveness and her speed.
CHRISTMAS CARDS
WILL BRING CHEER f
—THEY all adorned the mantel
Qj piece—the many Christmas
cards. How gay they were.
How much they helped in the
way of making the room cheery
and decorated for Christmas.
Each one did its part to add.
Yet many of those cards had
almost never come!
So many of the senders had
said—
if S “Oh, I don’t believe I'll send
them a card this Christmas. We
•5 never see them any more.”
2 But then they added—
S >1 “Still they are friends and It
would be nice to send them a
g Christmas wish.”
§ % So all. the cards had come.
And not |>ne of them was In the
