TWO HOLLY TREES
•‘l’ve been standing here a long
time," said the first Holly Tree.
“So have I,” said the second Holly
Tree. “I am sure I cannot remember
how long but I do know that It has
been for a long, long time.
“W’e belong to a very famous place,”
the second Holly Tree continued.
"Ah yes,” said the first Holly Tree,
“I know. We're a part of the grounds
of Mount Vernon where George Wash
ington used to live.
“A little girl came to see Mount
Vernon not long ago and she said.
“ To think of holly trees being here r
“She hadn’t expected to see us. It
seems, because she thought of us only
In connection with Christmas time, and
Christmas decorations.
“But she was much pleased to see
two real holly trees growing Just as
any other trees would grow, or stand
ing anil blooming Just as any other
trees would do, though I suppose }
should say that we bloom and wear
our green leaves Just as any other
holly tree would do. That would be
more correct
“For of course hoPy* trqes haven’t
the same ways ns other trees.
“But I got thinking about Christ
mas and how fine It Is to be o Holly
Tree."
“It Is almost Christmas now, Isn't
It?” asked the second Holly Tree.
“Almost ChrlstmnH,” said the first
Molly Tree. “You know of course we
“A Moit Important Part.’'
hnvo lived here for so long a time.
We were tulklng o* 'hat only a few
minutes ago. ri
“And we belong to this most his
torical atid Interesting place.
"There are few, If any, pieces In
the country which nre as Interesting
as this one is. And we belong to It.
nml people come here to admire the
place and the beauty and they like ta
see us too. i
“We’re very gay and pretty, we
holly trees, blooming ns we do so
gaily! Our berries ’are so pretty and
bright and festive and gay. ,
“Ilut not only do we belong to this
historical place, but wo are famous
too. Because, you know, wc have, as
a family always been used for Christ
mas decorations.
“Oh yes, holly Is n most Important
part of the Christmastime, and I love
to think of how many of our relatives
have helped to make Christinas day
brighter than ever.
"It mnkos me feel quite excited as
Christmas time come* near add as I
henr the visitors talk about Christmas
as well as about the boautlea of this
placol
"It makes me feel so pleased too,
because I can think to myself, as I
stand here and look out over the river
below and the beautiful white house
Just above, that our family have done
their purt In the world too to add to
the pleasure and gaiety of people.
“I suppose It makes one feel that
way when one Is a part of a place like
this. To belong to the grounds of
Mount Vernon, and to stnnd so near
the house where General Washington
once lived, make* one want to be
proud of something In the family.
"Yes, It makes one wont to be proud
of something well done.
"And so I am glad that we have
given of our beauty and our bright
ness as n fkndly to the Christmas time
decorations. I’m mighty glad of that"
"Indeed, and so am sold the
second Holly Tree. "But hush! I
hear someone speaking.’
The Holly Trees both listened and
someone srtld.
"What lovely Holly Trees. They add
to all this beauty, don’t they? And It
Isn't often that I’ve seen Holly Trceu;
It’s really a treat to see them!"

Young William received anew
diary for a present and wus encour
aged by his mother to set down each
day’s doings.
The first day he wrote: “Got up at
seven,” and then continued to record
Incidents of the day.

his teacher for approval.
She criticized his first phrase. “Don’t
say ’got up,’ William,’’ she said. “The
sun doesn’t get up; It rises.
Upon retiring that night William re
membered his teacher's Instructions
