CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENTS
Christmas entertainments how the
children enjoy them! What is it that makes
their little entertainments so splendid? Their
stage fright helps a little. The sea of heads in
the audience confuses them and gives them
stage fright, but whether they make perfect
orations, or fail in the attempt, their baby
faces creep into the hearts of the people and
makes them glad.
So if they distinguish themselves in their
recitations we love them, if they break down,
we love them in their discomfiture. This is
how the matter stands and no mother need be
ashamed of her boy because he fails in his
"piece."
