The two walked slowly across the
lawn toward the house. Charlie Kent
had been married to his young wife for
five years. She had been famous as n
of the most beautiful girls in all the
Oranges. It was in this lovely region
that they now lived. They had youth,
wealth and everything to make life hap

source of sorrow to the young wife-a

Il bad been thinking of a pair of
ponies and a phaeton, " said Charlie re-

winter soIstice, when the days begin to
lengthen and to hiEt at coming spring.
The Yulo log, tho drinking bowl or
horn, the boar's lead, tho holly. mistle-
toe and evergreen were then symbols Of
material rather than spiritual truths.
The American, Scandinavian, Ger
man and Englishman keep up the an
cient custom, whilo the Latin races seem
to know nothing about it. They cele-
brate New Years day, and do it in the
same fashion aswo at Christmas.
The Chinese and Japanese came CEN
turtles ago from Mongolia and Siberia,
their early if not original home. Living
in a land whose winter brought snow
and ice, they also noticed and rejoiced
over the solstice and the return Of the
sun. Their merriment took the form of
eating, drinking and generous hospital
ity and developed into q great festival
like own. By degrees it was trans
ferred to their New Years, where it
still remains.
Yet even today the astrologers notice
the solstice in their almanaes, horo-
scopes and tables, and in the last week
of the month are two festivals, whose
nature is ch%armingly poetic. About
Dec. 25 is that Of the genius of the
north fwho is the evil spirit of ice and
winters privation) and about Dec. 80 is
that of the angel of sunlight. In the
same week is the day of Chang Sin, the
tutelary deity Of parenthood, to whom
young married couples pray for healthy
male issue. The first and second are the
equivalents of Yule, the pre-Christian
Yule- The first contains an element of
humor. The Monaghan is gladly bid
ding goodby to the cruel ice spirit. He
does not wish the latter to see his hilar-
ity lest spiritual vengeance be aroused
and a cold spell in March or April ruin
the crops. So he puts little cups Of
fragrant tea, plates of sliced boiled
chicken and pieces of roasted spiced
pork on a we'll carved table where the
winter ghost can regale himself with
comfort. But at the same time, to pre-
vent his invisible visitor playing any
pranks, John Chinaman pastes written
talismans on the wall, burns joss sticks
in groups of three at every point %vulner-
able to malicious COLLINS and even fas-
tens a porcelain charm to his rooftree.
When it ONE to the festival of the
angel of light, tho observant traveller
can SEQ the spirit of Yule shine out in
Chinese eolors. In place Of the Yule
log, there is a steaming pot of tea; for
the boar's head there is a young pig
