and merriments come back year by year.
In schools and colleges and in social
and charitable societies there is a grow

giving and Christmas holidays. Parties
representing colonial society beft the
Christmas season. In Salem, Mass, a
party was given some years ago in which
the young people appeared in the cos
tunes of their colonial ancestors. The old
stately habits were observed, the old
tunes played on the fiddle, the old songs

often read to music in church Christmas
festivals. Robert of Sicily and 1.-THE
Blind Girl of Castle Guile" have been so
rendered.
