In the Christmas Ladies Home Jour

superstitions and disorderliness with
which Christmas lad BECOME encum-
bered, strove with all tLeir arder to
destroy it, but happily did not sue
oeed. The argument some time used
against it. that the birthday of the
Child Jesus is not known, and there
fore cannot be observed, does not
prevail against the almost universal
longing to celebrate in some way
this great event. SO we are not sur
prised to learn that in the first cen
turtles of the Christian era Christians.
though generally celebrating the Ma

time chosen for the festival. At
