"Chris'mas!"

"Can he tell us anything about George Washington?" he questioned smilingly, in response to Miss North's glance.
"Oh, I think so. Who can tell me some one thing about George Washington, children? Hands, please."
"That little boy," smiled the rosy-cheeked gentleman; "he seems to be getting so very much interested!"
