AND now the Chri^mas candles are alight- 

 /\ Ing and the bright red holly berries are 

 ^ ^ agleaming in the dark, ghttering green 

 of the leaves. There is cooking and 

 baking, roaming and baling, laughter and mer- 

 riment. And there is real joy in abundance, for 

 at this season of the year our hearts are renewed 

 within us, the years with their cares fall away, and 

 we become again as little children in spirit, with a 

 profusion of good will towards man in general and 

 a wealth— -a profundity— of rich, warm fellowship 

 for our friends and our old friends in particular. 

 And, realizing as we do that our own especial joys 

 are made possible in a great measure by the fair- 

 ness, co-operation and support of the florins' trade, 

 we drink a health to you. And, too, before the 

 clangor of the Christmas bells rings out and drowns 

 our voices, we want to wish you, Mr. Florid, and 

 all the loved ones gathered around your fe^ive board, 

 wherever that may be, a Merry, Merry Chri^mas.
