BY GRACE V. CHRISTMAS.


It is Christmas time. and there is a
sense. Of stir and excitement in the
crisp, cool atmosphere The pavements
of the Eternal City are trodden by
people of varied nationalities speaking
in various tongues and the shops are
gay with glittering baubles.
Plum buildings for sale" The print
ed notice attracts the eye from the win
dows of the English Tea-Rooms, and
the English and Americans, as they
pass to and fro across the sunlit Piazza
df Spagna, seeking souvenirs of the sea-
son for "the old folks at home" dis
cover suddenly that the prosaic an
nouncement is invested with touch of
poetry and pathos-under an Italian
sky Scarlet hollyberries CLEAN
amongst the purple violets and many
hued chrysanthemums at the fioWeI
stalls, and Christmas cards may be
purchased on every side. The native
shopbeeper has fully grasped the sit
uation. and finds both pleasure and
profit in supplying the national wants
OF the lavishly disposed forestieri with
in his gates.
Regarded from a Roman point Of
view. however. Christmas day is not so
much a family fiesta as is the case in
other countries. II is celebrated with
All possible pomp and magnificence as
one of the greatest feaSts of the church,
but the presentation Of useful or orna-
mental gifts plays no leading part in
The programme.
The exception to the lack Of Christ
mas presents is found within the walls
of the Quirinal Palace. Queen Marghe-
rita is extremely lavish in her ideas,
and enriches her maids of honor and
particular friends with a variety of
splendid gifts. thereby gladdenins the
hearts and filling the pockets OF the
shopkeepers on the Corso on these oc-
Casions. King Humbert of the melan-
choly visage is also not behindhand in
this respect and his nephews come in
for a large share of his munificence.

road little could be seen of the city

the path pursued by Jesus did not lie
far from Bethpage. which was on the

The question of the particular gate
through which Jesus entered Jerusalem
that first Palm Sunday with the people
shouting around him may seem super
fiuous. for common tradition has named
the Golden Gate. But the kaiser's visit
to Jerusalem in the spring of last year
brought up another. version. The Hulda
gate was mentioned then. and it IS
high time TO look into this question
and determine the truth.
The Hulda gate is the name that tie
Jews of today give to the old temple
gate that lies at the foundation of the
mosque of Aksa, but it is also known
as the double gate. Josephus tells us
that there were gates on the south side
Of the temple and the Talmud says

Che Royal Babe.
BY CAROLINE D. SWAN.

BEhe-black sky, alive with stars
patient expectation past!
0 earth, forget thy battle scars
Thy King has come at last.
A tiny hand, a rose-leaf touch,
Babe, whose silence is Divine:
Thou who hast sinned and suffered much,
That hand is laid on thine.
It crowns, it pardons. Grieve no more!
1t lies divinely on thy heart
Arise and shine! His grace adore,
Whose heritage thou art!
He comes in love- His infant smile
It's primal poisoning reveals;
His Blessed Mother kneels the while
Its sweetness Ger her steals.
Bud of Heav'n, unfold Thy rare,
Ensanguined petals to the light!
Bright Babe of Bethlehem, how fair
Thou dawnest on our sight!
The world is in Thy little grasp,
Still lingering with delicious thrill;
Oh, keep it in Thy tender clasp,
And mould it to Thy will!
