FATHER CHRISTMAS.
A Suggestion to the Boys For Christ
mas Celebrations.

A Suggestion to the Boys For Christ
mas Celebrations.
Why couldn't our boys get up some
holiday plays similar to the immemo-
rial" Father Christmas" play, in which
the lads of Merrie England have SO
much fun? The origin Of this play is
lost in antiquity, but it deals with
knights and their adventures, certain
of which challenge and fight the fol-
lowers of Father Christmas, and are in
turn routed, till Father Christmas and
the Black Knight cope in mortal COM
bat, the latter, Of course, being worsted.
The boys are dressed in fantastic
style, with tall paper caps on and pa
per fringe around their jackets, wear.
ing masks to conceal their identity.
They are called the "mummers, and
go from house to house of their friends
invariably receiving a kind welcome
and little treat at the end of the per-
Torrance. They also take up penny
collection, and everybody has penny
for the mummers who afford SO much
amusement.
In our early history there is abun.
dant scope for the youthful playwrights
and the object of their performances in
holiday week might be some charity in
which boys are the benefciaries, such
as treat of goodies" to dozen news
boys or bootblacks, to get supplies for
sick boy or the like.
The Indian in our early history is as
good as the knight element for stir
ring play for mummers-Massasoit
and his tribe, in war paint, feathers and
blankets, on the one side, and Oh the
other the prim Puritans, in broad
brimmed hats and short breeches.
Or the Pocahontas and Powhatan
drama, with John Smith, the hero and
band of cavaliers to make it lively
The boys of Boston Common and the
red coated Britishers was an el isolde to
inspire their fraternity of today, and it
would be great fun for our laddies in
Christmas week to dress up and illus
trate the valor of their ancestors, as
their English cousins annually COM
memorate some otherwise forgotten
achievement of feudal days.-Phila.

Some weeks before his death, Mr. Har-
old Frederic finished the book on which
he had been at work for months past.
This last and most notable novelof this
brilliant writer-fOr it is the only man
Uscript which he left-far eclipses in
power any Of his earlier stories. Written
when his genius had fully matured, he
put the best Of himself into "The Market
Place." as the novel Is called, and 1t Is
destined to be the book Of the year. For
marvellous portrayal and analysis Of
character, for vigor Of style, and for the
briIliance and faithfulness of its pic
tHres, 1t Is novel among novels
The story has to do with the fortunes
Of daring speculator, and, incidentally,
with the corruption existing among the
titled directors of English companies
Though written before the Hooley dis
closures, it seems almost a prophecy Of
this cause celebre Mr.. Frederic's pic
lures Of English society and English
country life are the best and most con-
vincing that have yet been given to us
by novelist.
