At the street door.-Hat off the

In the parlor.-Stand till every

Rise if a lady enters the room

In the dining-room.-Take your

Never play with your knife, ring

ure Of modern Observances. To ev-
en- speak of the Christmas-tree calls
up such q host of German supersti-
tions, and all the beautiful stories
of the Christ-child, that it is hard to
pass them by, and only touch upon
this most interesting and fruitful
theme. Year after year, in palace
and cot, in the broad ways of fash
ion and in famine's squalid lanes,
comes the sweet influence. The
German children see the Christ
child everywhere at Christmas
time, and st. Nicholas is the bearer
of these good gifts. A German
Christmas-tree is very resplend-
ent and glittering affair. The gifts
are not hung on its branches, but
instead, innumerable tiny candles
and cOlored lanterns, the whole
made still more brilliant by inter-
twining gold and silver threads,
which the little ones eagerly grasp
and sacredly hold, as hair OF the
blessed Christ-child.
Somewhere it is said that Old En-
gland, associated as it is in all oui
minds with the very essence OF
a Christmas merry-making, knew
nothing of a Christmas-tree until

The Russian method of stopping
