AID the Little Brown Elf to his friends, one day —
In the regions of Christmas past :

“There comes a time when it’s wise to play
Lest, withered with age and with wisdom gray,
Wefling but a joyous life away,

And our time has come at last.”

So they played high jinks on the sands at noon

In the palmetto land of the turtle and coon,

In order that none might be able to say,
“They studied too hard and fast.”

But between you and me,
I never could see
Where the difference lay
"Tween their study and play.
Lilian Crawford True.
