A Russian Christmas Legend.

The Russian peasantry have a curious
tradition. IL is that an old woman, the
BabOushka, was al work in her house
when the wise men from the East passed
on their wav to find the ChriSt-child.
Come with us, they said. I've have
seen Ills star in the East and go to wor-
ship Him" Il will come, but not now,
she answered II have my house TO set
i'm order: when that is done, | will iOl-
low :ud find Him But when her work
was done the three kings had passed on
their way across the desert and the star
shown no more through the darkencd
heavens. She never saw the Christ
child. but she is living and searchidg Tor
him still. For his sake she takes care Oi
all little children. Ii Is she who IN Rus
sian and Italian houses is believed 20 fill
the stockings and dress the tree on
Christmas morning. The children are
awakened by the cry of "behold the
Baboushka,' and sprang up, hoping 10
see her before she vanishes out OF the
window. She fanCies, the tradition goes,
that i'm each poor little one whom she
warns and feeds she may find the
ChriSt-child, whom she neglected years
ago, but is doomed to eternal disaPpOnt'
mCnt.
