BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, and to the children
of Brownie Troop 637, their tree at the light in Dallas is something to
be proud of. However, a few Scrooges have been complaining that
‘Dallas’ Christmas tree looks terrible,” etc., etc. But the little
Brownies had a glorious time doing what the ‘‘grown-ups’’ believe
they can do better. The only problem encountered during the trim-
ming, was that the children couldn’t reach much higher than the
length of their arms. So to all you scrooges out there wondering
‘“‘when are they going to finish it,” it is finished, and in the best of
manners.
