CHRISTMAS GREENS.
A Beautiful Custom Which Comes to Us
Evonl the Eomi.nS.

A Beautiful Custom Which Comes TO Us
From the Romans.
The fashion OF decking the house with
greens rs we do at Christmas datrs
back iutO old Roman times, when Il
feast III honor of Saturn was cClrhra ted
and the temples of the dwellings wCro
dressed with green bOughS--pOSsibly a
remnant of that tree worship which,
"in ITSELF" says Rusliin, 81 believe
was always hcalthy,' when "thc flow
crs and trees are themselves bchcld and
beloved with Il half wrrshipinH delight,
which is always noble aud hralthiul.' -
The plants most in demand for church
decoration at Christmas timo in Eng
land us we'll as in this country arc hol-
ly, bay and laurel. English holly is
sometimes imported, but the American
holly, which comes from Virginia and
otnCr sections OF the south, is Il very
good substitute ror it. The lay is tho
rarrst plant Of the three in this country,
but ground laurel is commonly sold and
is one Of the most effective Of the Christ
mas green's.
In decorating Il room with Christmas
green's it should be- remembered that Il
very slight touch OF color should be used
with green and that the most objcc-
tionallo Of al things is too pr0tusc dec
OraiiOn. Christmas greens arc usually
kept till after Twelfth Night, which
occurs on Jan. 6, and they should Ger
tlinly be cleared away by the 2l of
February, or Candl, mas day, or other
