plious, regardless Of physical beauty.
Y5ut this latter meaning is probably the
right one after all, as the word doubt
less comes from Yule lYu-le), the pagan
Christmas, so TO speak, for be II known
that what we now observe as Christmas
day was a heather holiday chiied kule,
and the Yule festival was one Of noisy
demonstration. Yule indeed means
noise or cutlery, praising in loud voice,
chanting, singing, making outcry in
honor of their god. From yule, then,
to Jolly the step is short aud eaSy-both
meaning revelry, rejoicing. The words
are identica So, too, in large degree
the Christmas iollities, praises and those
of heather Yule. Into such close re-
lation do simple words sometimes con-
meet the present with the past.

There is talk OF reviving an amuse-
ment that has been suffered to fail into
diSuse, and already plans are on foot
for an amateur theatrical entertain
ment, an event of widespread interest.
1t is possible that a couple Of farceS or
short comedies will be presented before
the public some time just after Lent.
II it goes through it will be great So
ciety affair, for thoe interested will be
society leaders. There is more or less
amateur talent which can be used 10 ex-
cellent advantage, and such OF the older
members OF society as remember the
days Of ten or fifteen years ago, will re-
call the names Of several people who
used frequently to distinguish them
selves on the parlor stage. Added 10
these, who have not "scted for years"
still occasionally feel the impulse stir
within them, are some Of the younger
men and women, recent acquisitions 10
the social sphere, whose histrionic abil-
ity remains unrecognized only because
not called into use.
