 A CHRISTMAS CAROL 
 
 So now is come our joyful feast, 
 
 Let every man be jolly; 
 
 Each room with ivy leaves is drest, 
 
 And every post with holly . 
 
 ❖ ❖ & ❖ 
 
 Then wherefore in these merry days 
 Should we, I pray, be duller? 
 
 No, let us sing some roundelays 
 To make our mirth the fuller. 
 
 And whilst we thus inspired sing, 
 Let all the streets with echoes ring; 
 Woods, and hills, and everything 
 Bear witness we are merry. 
 
 George Wither

HOLIDAY BOOKS FOR BOYS AND 
 GIRLS 
 
 HIS list has been prepared to meet the 
 
 many requests for suggestions of 
 children’s books as holiday gifts. 
 
 The selection includes old favorites in new 
 editions and such new titles as seem worthy 
 of a special place in a child’s own library. 
 The make-up of the book has been very 
 carefully considered in determining the 
 selection, and preference has been given to 
 editions with the best illustrations, the clear- 
 est type, and the most attractive book 
 covers. 
 
 As the list of “Vacation reading for boys 
 and girls” includes camping and woodcraft, 
 out-door and indoor games and sports, gar- 
 dening, animal stories, handicraft, etc., these 
 subjects are omitted from the holiday list. 
 
 Copies of the vacation reading list may 
 be had on request and the appropriate books 
 listed therein will be included in the exhibit 
 of children’s books to be shown in the cen- 
 tral children’s room during the month of 
 December. 
 
 Any large book shop should have all the 
 books except those marked *. As these are 
 foreign books the name of a New York 
 importing house is given instead of the 
 publisher.
