This meal is eaten as all evening dinner before mid night mass, and when the worshipers return from their church after midnight the table is set with cold pork, bonbons and corn brandy as a drink = Exchange.

But on Christmas day, although all these styles may be united on one table. there is an invariable although unwritten law that roast goose shall be the chief dish. The dessert is a marvellous mixture of Swiss cunfectioneries, experiencing every thing from little cocoanut cakes to elab. urate structures of flour and sugar inter spersed with all sorts of nuts and small fruits.
 But between the opening goose and tho closing patisserie is introduced the really national Christmas dish called tho Geneva fritters. These fritters are made after the following recipe

CHRISTMAS GIVING.
The Poor Were Not Forgotten In tie Days
 of Long Ago.

The Poor Were Not Forgotten In tic Daya
 of Long Ago.
 There is all ancient custom for inc rector of Fiddle Hinton, in Dorsetshire, 10 give away OH old Christmas day, the 9th of January, annually, pound of bread, pint of ale and inince pie to every poor person in the parish, and this distribution is regularly made by the rector to upward of 300 poor persons. At Stafford there is an old charity for providing poor people with plums for their Christmas puddings, sxd Il kind hearted man at Burnham left sum sufficient to provide the inmates of the poorhouse of the parish with Christi mas dinner, followed by proper supply of ale, tobacco and snuff.
 At Prince Risborough, in Bueking hanshi1e, there was very singular Christmas usage. Up to about 1918 a bull, boar, Il sack of wheat and sack of malt were given away to the poor by tho lord of the manor at about 6 o'clock every Christmas morning. This practice was then discontinued, and for about | five or six years beef and mutton were distributed in place of the above articles. Mir Grubb-ft name for the dispenser of what Rittmaster Dugald Dalgetty would call ''the provend d''-of the par sonage house, the then lord of the man. or, whose father first stopped the above customary distribution, produced to the commissioners of charities case which his father had laid before justice, rel ative 10 tllis custom, with vioW ef ob. taining the opinion of counsel as to whether it could be sustained as q GUS tom at common law, and whether he should be subject to legal process if he omitted to make the distribution.
 It appears from the document that the custom had then prevailed for a considerable number of years; that it was mentioned in the local histories. but that it's origin Ras lost in obseurity. The practice, while it lasted, seems to have been productive of much intoxica- tion and riot The poor are said to have pa1aded the town during tho whole night preceding the distribution with an incessant elamor, effectually banish- ing all repose. On the following morn. ing they marched ill crowds to Mr, ttrubb's house, and these assemblies of. ten comprised many strangers as we'll as parishioners. On the doors being opened they all rushed to the feast prepared for them with so little decorum and for bearance that often in their zeal for priority they inflicted wounds on one another with their knives. The whole remaining portion of Christmas day, it iz stated, was spent by many of them in the public houses. The justice before whom the matter was heard was of the opinion that this custom was not sus tainable as common law right, and the charity commissioners reported that they had received no sufficient evidence that the custom could be considered as a charitable donation the continuance of which could be enforced.

pn MaarI.., 1lked the Fashions.

Ii was inevitable, as She principle ex- Eonent of topical art by pictorial satire, that Du Maurier should hold pretty strong opinions about women's dress and fashions generally. and it is fact that he was by no means decrier of the productions of the modern modiste. On the contrary. he admitted very warm admiration for his feminine contempo- raries-small waists, pointed shoes, big hats and Gll--and felt a constant pleas ure in delineating them. And as for the children of this fortunate country, he would say he could think of no painte or sculptured children of the past wb1 were moro eharming-at least, to him And this, from an artist who never for. got that he was French by birth. was praise indeed. -Ladys Pictorial

1rab Tn Favor.

Drab is one of the seasons favored colors. The French call it winter sky, but this is too poetic title for it's un- compromising dull, metallic tone. It IS not like soft nuns gray, swallow gray. silver, dove, fawn or anything as deli cate and dainty. Drab isnot becoming color on it's own merits. We associate it with the coats and gowns of the Quakers, when far stricter ill sectarian and dress matters than they are now, and with the old Puritan drivers of tho defunct stageooaeh, with their many Gaped, long, drab coats. But French modiste can easily make q gown of beauty out of even drab cloth. She com pines it with black and Danish or Span ish or British red so artistically and deftly that the dowdy dress of drab be- comes in the hands of this sartorial pres tidigitator triumphant success. Set it against, for example, one of the brick red gowns of cloth, with black and white vest and brick red velvet toque en suite, and rivalry there is none be- tween the two. The one is vulgar and proyekingly aggressive. the other snffi- ciently smart and eminently attractive: but quiet withal.

What Is Paterna!ism ?

When opponents of postal saw
ings banks have no other Object
ion to offer to the establishment OF
/ the system IN the United States
they take refuge III the assertion
that it is ''paternalistic.' assuming
that such declaration establishes
thol: position.
The indefiniteness of the term
pa; ernallsm does, indeed, make 1t
difficult to attack the position of
those who hide behind Its pro
tecting shadow. All government
is and must be in Il sense pattern
alistic. Therefore the only con
sistent opponent OF paternalism in
all its forms is the anarchist, and
it Is notable that among the com
ments on The Records postal saw
ing's bank bill by worklngmen
and trade unlonists the only op-
position expressed was by few
men of avowedly anarchistic no
tions OF government. When the
state undertakes to protect its
citizens from violence and theft
it is IN sense pdternalistic. All
the things which the government
undertakes to do for the benefit
Of the people might be called pa
ternalistic. The public schools,
the fire department, the postollice,
are all paternalIstIc institutions,
yet without them a people would
be lacking in important elements
OF civilization.
Generally the term paternaiism
is taken TO imply offensive activ-
ity in looking out for the supposed
interests Of the people and in reg
ulating their affairs on the part OF
a government that is outside of
and above the people. III the
United States the government is
the people, and is engaged IN
carrying out their will. The at
tempt of a free and self governing
people to use their government
for fostering Of helpful lnstitu-
tions is cooperation, not patcrnal
Ism. The value of the latter term
as catch phrase in opposition to
the postal bank system consists in
lnsinuating into it certain notions
OF autocratic rule which have nc
place In this country.
Paternaism implies depend
ence. The object of the establish
ment of postal savings banks III

verse Of this. The effect Of the
