What you’re looking at
This page mixes nostalgic Irish-American sentiment with early 1900s advertising. **"Christmas Green" Poem**: A sentimental verse by Kate Masterson about an Irish immigrant longing for home. The speaker receives a shamrock and letter from Ireland, dreaming of return while wearing "the green" (Irish identity symbol). References to Irish geography (Killarney, Shandon, River Lee) and Catholic imagery anchor the immigrant experience. The tone celebrates Irish-American identity and romantic attachment to the homeland—typical of Judge's era appeals to Irish readers. **Remington Typewriter Advertisement**: Claims a 50% increase in branch offices since 1912, emphasizing "Quality and Service." This reflects early-20th-century business expansion and the typewriter's importance in modern office work. **Krementz Gift Boxes & Mennen's Shaving Cream**: Standard period advertising for luxury goods and grooming products. The page illustrates Judge's dual audience: nostalgic Irish-American immigrants and urban professionals—both targeted through sentiment and consumerism.

Christmas Green. By KATE MASTERSON, TWAS a scent of dear old Ireland came to me from the letter, And out fell a four-leafed clover from the one across the sea— Just u bit of green—God bless her! —that the colleen sent to me; Christmas shamrock plucked beside the fairies’ hill where first I met ber— Ah, the touch of them is soft upon my lips, Girleen Machree! And I’m dreamin’ that I’m home again, with you beside me strayin’ In the glen, the stars above us and the daisies at our feet; And your teasin’, laughin’, lovin’, cryin’, dancin’ eyes are sweet, Till my heart is gone and to the saints above for you I'm prayin’ That again among the clover of the fairies’ hill we'll meet. When they light the Christmas can- dles and the priest the mass is singin’, Say a round for one that thinks of you, asthore, the whole day long, Wishin’, longin’ for a sight of you; and when I hear a song Or a band strikes up the Kerry Dance, my eyes with tears are wringin’ To be back beyond the ha'nted hill where lucky clovers throng. Ah! the girls at home—God bless them! sure their soft hearts are the truest, And I'll pin the Christmas sham- rock on my coat, where 'twill be Seen; But close to my heart the letter from the sootherin’ colleen. Oh, the ways of her—the daze of her big eyes that are the bluest! And 'tis proud I am this minute to be wearin’ of the green, Maybe ‘tis you like Killarney or the blessed bells of Shandon, Blarney Castle or the Abbey's ivied towers that you see, Where the gray monks dreamed of angels when they sang their litany; Or the Shannon, or the River Lee them same bells sound so grand on, But the fairies’ hill and her blue eyes—between the stars and me! 4h, your Christmas green is warm against my heart, Girleen Ma- chree!
