White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! a quick feminine change to hysterical tears and wails, necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat.

For there lay The Combs—the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims—just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.

But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim!"

And then Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!"

Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit.

"Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."

Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled.

"Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."

The Beatles

When people hear the name "The Beatles" most people think of co-lead singer, John Lennon. However, the role of Paul McCartney is often overlooked.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney were in other bands together before the forming of the Beatles. In 1962, along with Ringo Starr and George Harrison, they formed the rock group known as "The Beatles." The group featured a modern rock that was new and popular during the period with John and Paul composing and doing the leads on most of the songs. They were backed by George on lead guitar and Ringo on drums. George and Ringo also assisted on backing vocals.
When they first began playing, the main influence inside the band was John Lennon, who had an ability to compose songs at a moment's notice with an inspiration that others missed. He pushed the members of the band during their touring years and was able to achieve the best possible results from the group. However, McCartney was also a strong force in the group since Lennon many times asked for McCartney's advice about ideas for songs. McCartney wrote many of the group's biggest hit songs, and often, he didn't even ask for song writing credit.
After the breakup, McCartney launched a successful solo career. He has released many recordings both in the United States and abroad. One accomplishment was his first classical piece, Liverpool Oratorio, which is no small feat considering that McCartney never learned to read music.
