little Dorothy in the hours when her

served as shelter and home.
Santa Claus may not come here

Little Dorothy paused in her task
of sweeping the one room of their

the ashes to bake, that her fathers
supper might be ready for him, she
had wrapped herself in his old coat,
donned her red hood and started out

An Ancient Custom Still Observed In

An Ancient Custom Still Observed In
The North of England.
A custom at one time prevalent in
England and still observed in some Of
the northern districts of the old coun-
try is that OF placing an immense log
of Wood-sometimes the root of a great
tree-in the wide chimney place. This
is often called the Yule log, and it was
on Christmas eve that it was put OH
the wide hearth. Around it would
gather the entire family, and it's en-
trance was the occasion of a great deal
of ceremony. There were music and
rejoicing, while the one authorized to
light it was obliged to have clean
hands.
It was always lighted with a brand
left over from the log of the previous
year, which had been carefully pre-
served for the purpose. A poet sings
of it in this way:
With the last years brand
Light the new block, and
For good success in his spending
On your psaltries play
That sweet luck may
Come while the log is attending.
The Yule log was supposed to be a
protection against evil spirits, and it
was considered a bad omen if the fire
went out before the evening was over
