Things were almost too wonderful to
be true, Philip thought, but it really was
true. He was washed and dressed in
time for the party, and such a party
never had been known in that street be-
fore. Mrs. Mitchell sent the carriage
back to her house with note to the
housekeeper, and when it returned it was
full of the most delicious sweets, and
cakes, and jelies, and toys of every de-
scription.
And when the presents were taken off
the tree and distributed, who so proud
as Philip? for his very own beautiful
granny drew him to her and kissed him
and said.
Il shall always love the bird, Philsey,
darling, because if you had not gone out

A Quaint Christmas Custom

The burning Of the ashen fagot is a
curious custom observed in Devon and
Somerset on Christmas eve. The fagot
consists of green ash wood, cut length
ways, and neatly fastened into a bundle
with witty bands. At O'Clock in the
evening this is placed ON the fire with
much ceremony, when the family and in
vited guests are gathered round the. ingle-
nook. The flames lick round the bundle,
and when the first green witty holding
the fagots burst, glasses are raised and
emptied to "a Merry Christmas The
breaking of each bond is the signal for
fresh toast. Legend accounts for this
custom by the story that a fire of ash
wood warmed the stable at Bethlehem,
while local tradition tells of a green
wood fire kindled by Alfred the Great
during his lonely wanderings in Somer-
set.-London Daily Chronicle.
