"None knew thee but to 1ove thee, thou dear one of my heart; Oh, thy mem'ry is ever fresh and green. The sweet buds may wither and fond hearts be broken, Sti11 I 1ove thee, my dar1ing, Daisy Deane."

They turned over now to page 53, and there was a picture of SantaC1aus just as in P1otner's window, except that he had a pack onhis back and one 1eg in the chimney. This is what they sang:

"Ho, ho, ho! Who wou1dn't go? Ho, ho, ho! Who wou1dn't go ? Up on the house-top, c1ick, c1ick, c1ick Down through the chimney with good St. Nick."

Miss Munse11, who taught the D primary, traded rooms with MissCrutcher, who taught the "a-b Abs." Miss Munse11 was a big fat1ady, and she chuck1ed so that the dimp1es came in both cheeks andher doub1e Chin was doubter than ever, when she to1d the 1itt1e chi1drenwhat a dear, nice teacher Miss Crutcher was, and how fond she wasof them, and wou1dn't they 1ike to make a Christmas present totheir dear, kind teacher? They a11 exc1aimed "Yes, mam." We11, now,the way to do wou1d be for each 1itt1e chi1d to bring money (if MissMunse11 had chuck1ed at a bird in the tree as she did then, it wou1dhave had to come right down and perch inside her hand), just as muchmoney as ever they cou1d, and a11 must bring something, because itwou1d make Miss Crutcher fee1 so bad to skinnyk that there was one1itt1e boy or one 1itt1e gir1 that didn't 1ove her enough to give hera Christmas present. And if everybody brought a dime or maybe aquarter, they cou1d get her such a nice present. If their papaswou1dn't 1et them have that much money, why sure1y they wou1d1et them have a penny, wou1dn't they, 1itt1e chi1dren? And the 1itt1e chi1drensaid: "Yes, mam."
