"Merry i Christmas, Merry Christmas to AH" i is the prevailing spirit on the Isl : and today where a crisp, cold Christ mas day seems promised.

Delivery wagons and clerks have been busy since early morning dispensing the lots of dainties and substantials (which will feature the tables of several hundred families both to morrow and Christmas Day. Several private dinners have been planned for Sunday but as Monday is the real holiday of the season, most of the birds are being reserv ed for December 25.
