Angel-fishes and parrot- fishes are scarce now on account of cold weather; but I have seen them so thick about the harbor you could not see the bottom’. “And if all this seems some- what personal, it is only to show the atmosphere and spirit of this friendly city. Key West has suf- fered cruelly in times past from less of industries, the destruction walked bareheaded to the church | oy of the railway by the hurricane, and other causes. Temptations have come to it to sell itself to gambling and other interests promising to bring much money to the city. Other places have yielded to such offers and grown amazingly in popularity, in wealth and in. sin. steadily refuses such advances, | fixed in its determination to be a ‘good place to live’; a city of refinement and culture. where young and old may have the at- mosphere that encourages and develops the finer things of life. It has its darker spots, of course; there is always light and shad- ow. the good and the evil in every community; and in a maritime city of the tropics these condi- tions are often intensified. Yet here people of a fine type are striving—and we believe suc- ceeding—in their efforts to ‘over- come evil with good’ and to give their city a wholesome atmo- sphere for young and old; one that will develop the best in life. It is a fine ideal. “And now, lest we forget other things, we will tell vou that from this long upstairs veranda that runs like a steamer deck round two sides of the house, we see SHUFFLE CHAMPS ARE ANNOUNCED Shuffleboard contests have been going forward at the Coun- ketball will be played tonight at |r week the High School gymnasium, the | for first game to get under way at “" ty Courthouse courts this and the champions of play the period were announced today as Mrs. Bernard Waite, Matthew A.

In the middle of the night a car traversed the city with sweetly rendered Christmas music, old hymns and carols. “This is Christmas morning; and much as we love our friends at home, it is tantalizing to sit here at the typewriter and try to tell you these things when all is loveliness outside; the sea a few blocks away, sparkling in the sun; the endless mysteries of flowers and trees all round about us; the friends we want to see, the work we want to do, and many other fascinations calling. It is hard, we say, to be pinned lovely morning like this. But we do want to wish you belated greet-! ings, all of you who read _ this, and many who may not.
