An' every care is chased away

An’ all the smiles are brightest

With all the love that hearts can hold Come bfflldilly Gifts to mother.

We keep her presents till the last C

An’ then when she sits rocking

An’ all the other gifts are passed: We go an’ get her stocking. We gather round her easy chair, First one an’ then the other

Steps up an’ says: "Well, I declare

Here’s something else for mothcif.”

An’ with each present goes a kiss,

An’ all is still an’ quiet

' A Chi`ld’s Song of Christmas

My counti'rpane is soft as silk, My blankets l:'hitc as creamy milk, '

The hay was soft to Him, I know, Our little Lord of long ayo-

Above the roof the pigeons fly In silver wheels across the sky,

The stable-doves they cooed to them, Mary and Christ in Bethlehem.

Bright shines the sun across the drifts, And bright upon my (fhristmas gifts, '

They brought Hiln incense, inyrrh, and gold Our little Lord who lived of old.

0, soft and clear our mother sings

0f (llirisliiias joys and Christmas things,

G`od’s holy angels sang to them, Mary and Christ in Bethlehem.

Our hearts they hold all Christmas dear, .rind earth sccms‘sii'eet and heaven seems near

0, hcarcn :ras in His sight, I know,

That little Child of long ago.

Among the nioclern bottles there are some charming

French oncs \\'hicli \'\'culd bc especially lovely as perfume coiitaincrrs. They are round, \\iili sioppcrs niadc in thc sliapes of animals or birds. One of black glass has a white puppy dog as a stopper. Another of white opaque glass has u bluebirci with wings spread out on the stopper.
