Their back, to traditions of Morse my
thology, in which it played an impor-
tant part.
Long before kissing was invented or
ballads were made and sung the mis-
tletoe was a sort of fetch and is as
capricious as most heather deities, in
asmuch as II has marked preference
In the choice of tree TO grow upon,

lore ii had rare medicinal virtues, but
these have found oblivion with the
lapse of time.
Morse fables tell us that Baldur the
bright and the beautiful, the god Of
light, was regarded with jealousy by
some of the other deties. and Friga, to
protect him, made everything in heav-
en- and earth swear TO do him no
harm. But disregarding the mistletoe

the malevolent fire god, Selling this

till ii swelled to the size Of a spear
and, slyly giving IL TO blind Hodur,
told him to throw it among the gods
when they were at play.
1t struck Baldur and killed him, but
Friga miraculously restored him to life
and thereafter guarded the mistletoe,
which the gods at her pleading decided
should be unable TO do any mischief
again unless it touched the earth. For
this reason II always hung on high. and
the vigilant goddess was propitiated by
a sign of amity and good will.
Many of the most important rites of
the Druids were performed in connec-
ton with it, and today men and maid
ems hold that IL constitutes a sanction
for salutes that might otherwise be
too daring. Yet the old mysterious
glamour of its power TO harm still
clings to ii and imparts a touch OF SUI
perstitious witchery to the tragic fate
of the gay young bride who, mad with
merriment, hid in the oak chest that

During the middle ages the whole
Christmas season was given up to rev.
fls and jolity. in which eating and
drinking had a prominent part. The
Saxon instinct Of our English ancestors
led them to make Of every holiday an
occasion for feasting. Plenty TO eat
and to drink was their idea OF festi-
val, no matter how sacred might be its
associations On Christmas they not
only lined their stomachs with good
capon. as did Shakespeare's Justice,
but stuffed themselves with all sorts OF
rich, nourishlng food and strongly com
pounded buildings and pies.
