CHRISTMAS SECRETS.
The crinkling of paper. The snapping of string, , Thump! Thump! On the labels That firmly must cling. The dip, dip of ink: You almost can hear A Christmas wish think. The snip-snip of scissors. The prick-prick of pins, The clicking of needles When knitting begins*. The laughter and whispers, How tuneful are these! “You’re sure you wont te*l.. Now, promise. Dad, please. “ I’m making a—something For mother myself; If you look you will see it High up on that shelf. Be quick; she is coming. Oh, don’t let her see! It’s my special secret, To hang on the tree.’* Sent in by David Guild, 18, Alpha Avenue, Papanui.
