CHRISTMAS MATES O MINE.

-[BY GLADYS JACKSON.).

My dear young Friends, I'm most sincerely hoping You don't believe the Intest crazy tale

That's caused my reindeer to go sadly moping, And even inado my scarlet cloake turn pale,

Twas started by some poor, deluded creatures Who thought 'twould bring them happiness and fame To fashion new ideas as Christinas features And take from me my old and honoured name,

To say there is no ME Oh, dent, how shocking! And that it's senseicis to put up one's stocking!

Of course, it must be only idlo banter, But still I know you'll think it ally wrong; Just picture Christmas without 'old friend Santa! I'm sure you'd look for me the whole day long." Why! Very soon wo'll hear another story. (So diretul that we mustn't say it loud), That fairica too have swept their train of glory. From mortal land, and vanished in life'n crowd!

Oh, mates o' mine, don't let your hearts get colder By losing life's best fun as you grow older! Perhaps you'll have your own especial dreaming.. About my methods-that we won't discuss, But fairy helpore and my own gay scheming Alike must fail if you lose faith in us!

This grey old world is full of golden wonder

If folks would shed their masks of doubt and shade,

Life's only foolish thing is just the blunder

Of thinking God forgets the world He made!..

That magic must be out of reach of mortala Because we seu it best through childhood's portals i

Think, little pala! A Baby in a stable

Wan, after all, the Lord of all the earth!

And if we listen well our care are able

To catch the angela' song that hailed His birth.

But don't forget, the magic of their singing

Is only heard by those who give it thought,

And mine the task is to show forth the bringing

Of that great gift the lowly Baby brought.

So, here I am, the old, old wish repeating, Goodwill and Peace,-- Hearty Christmas Grecting!
