AN HISTORIC CHRISTMAS

The column was row broken into two d.

company, which had been enlarged by pick

the village and the column then entered
the Pennington road, about mile beyond
the village.

Bethlehem, Palestine. December 5.--of
course. the Basilica Of the nativity Is the
great center Of all life and interest here at
Christmas time. aud one sees such hetero-
genous mass Of co-rellgionists celebrating
the occasion within its walls as can be
found nowhere else on earth.
As you stand on the esplanade In front
Of the Basilica and look for the church
your search is practically in vain. Two
sides of the square are surrounded by
high, bare walls, which might represent
either those of a convent or fortress, be-
ing pierced here and there by small, high
windows. One looks In vain for sight Of u
gateway. Indeed, there is none, for when
it WIS hu'lded, in the Fourth century. the

ton arch. Beneath this king and peasant,
bishop and sinner must pass.
The church Is practically Enclosed by con-
vents belonging TO Roman Catholics. Greeks
and Armenlans, which are built so closely
around the original walls that they have
practically disappeared. shutting out an ex-
terror view of the Oldest church in the
world.
But If that fate has befallen the exterior,
what has befallen the interior? The nave
Of the church, with its superb monolith
columns, believed by archaeologists TO have
been actually taken from the runs of sol
oroon,s terntie on Mount Moriah is used by
tbe natives as a market place, much as

pecially for the holiday season.
1t does not require a minute devoted to
tiresome explanations or practice, and any
girl can prepare the cards 10 couple OF
morning hours.
Buy at ststIoner's several sheets Of thin
white cardboard and one sheet each of
scarlet and green paper Cut the white
sheets into small cards, carte de vlsite size.
Cut from the green paper half as many
little holly leaves as you have white cards
and an equal number OF berries from the
red paper The leaves should be about an
inch In length and the berries a triAe
smaller. To insure O prettily shaped leaf
and a nicely rounded berry the outlines can
be traced from the holly decorations en-
Christmas card or booklet and used as Pat
terms.
on half the white cards paste berries, and
on the other half green leaves
In playing the game the cards are thor
oughly shuffed and seven are dealt TO
each player. the rest forming a pool The
object of the game lie TO secure hand
containing either all holly leaves or all
berries As soon as a player secures a
hand Of this hnd--it must contain seven
cards-he shows IL 10 the other PLAYERS.

A TOY RACE.


Another idea for a holiday party is tine
mechanical toy race in which toys OF va
rious descriptions moved by springs, etc,
race across the drawing room in order to
win prizes for their owners.
TO prepare for a race ask each member Of
the party to secure and bring with him a
mechanical toy. In order to afford an
equal chance II should be understood that
no toy entering the contest is TO cost more
than so cents. Any toy capable Of being
wound up and running a race--surh MS an
engine, horse or bicycle--is eligible. II the
party is large. 1t is better 10 divide up the
number Of players and have only six entries
In each race.
Every toy which wins a race Ia eligible
for the test which follows at the end. The
test races continue until some particular
toy has come out winner three times.
Little mechanical devices In silver make
charming awards. Thus, II two prizes ore
given the lady's trophy might be a silver
hair barette with patent device; the gem
tlemens a novelty appertainlng to the
smoking outfit.

was suddenly taken with fit and fell
into the river. Several other clam

rescue him. His body was found
about noon. He was veteran of the
