Christmas lights are beginning
to blossom along our streets. Mrs.

and they must show over the beach
and out to sea. The Fire Station as
usual is early to light our only

showing. And Santa has arrived
for his trips down our chimneys,
beginning with the Marion Coleys
in the Estates, which seems to be
his favorite place. And the Three
Wise Men have halted on the Coley
lawn as they make their journey.
Next week we shall note others
who will be making our ways love-
ly with the Spirit of Christmas.

turn in 1951.
ROVING READER
The Roving Reader writes—
"'The Sweeper of the Skies' (being
a biography of Maria Mitchell) has
been In the library since June.
Are you one of thOBe who have
enjoyed it? It is a small book and
very easy to read. You will be filled
with pride that 'The Cape and the
Islands' produced and sent forth a
woman of such intelligence and
unswerving devotion to her life-
long labors. And the reader, not
having seen Nantucket, delighted
in the touches of description of the
Island , its moors and growing
things, birds and wild creatures
and its wild storms and unequalled
sunshine. Do take It out."
