scandinavian mythology and the GUS
tom OF hanging branches Of this plant

CHRISTMAS FARE OF OLD.
What the Holiday Menu Consisted OF
Five Hundred Years
Ago.

In the old days the standard Christ
mas dishes were the peacock and the
boars head Each OF these dishes was
served up with every circumstance of
pompous ceremony, preceded Ivy trum
pets and followed by a numerous rai"
OF ladies' knights and squircs the
buars head was brought into the hall
by a server, sometimes mounted on a
horse. who sang a carol rs he placed
the dish upon the table
The peacock. the food OF lover,
and the meat OF lords was usually
served in all It's natural splendor OF
plumape. and this was doubtless the
mastcrslrusc of the chef dc cuisine.
The royal bird was "ctcn roysh zyu-
Eorc, and no expense was spared over
him. According to Massngor in his
City Madame they used the car
casscs OF three wethers. bruised Tor
gravy to make sauce for n single pea
cock. The b0ar's head was served b.
man. but the ceremony Of distrib-
utinG the peacock was usually reserved
for the noblest lady present at the
feast.

The Tom Thumb Wedding.

The repeated performance of
the Tom Thumb Wedding last
Saturday night was rendered to a
good audience aud was a very en-
joyable show. The latter part of
the program was entirely new.
The wedding itself was very pref
ty, the little folks provoking
much amusement in their dra-
matte parts The ladies of the
Episcopal Guild realized some
thing near $40 out of the perfor-
nance, which makes n very nice
showing.
