Perhaps, too, there were other
things he taught her: for what should
a pretty geisha learn, but love?

Reverence BY the Druids and They
I Kissed Under It--How the Romans
! sessn to Celebrate the Day.

Comparative few of the millions
OF persons who annually enter SD
heartily into the festivities of Christ
mas give a thought TO the origin
OF the customs they observe. Young
people, middle-aged people and old
people who take indescribable pleas
IRE In decorating their homes with
holly, misletoe and other evergrecns
and in anticipation of reign of
fun and frvolity, do not, as a rule.
give much thought to the Nativity.
and never for moment does any
idea concerning the origin of such
decorations enter their heads.
How many good souls there arc
who delight in the old-fashioned
Christmas customs and who once a
year. at least. let themselves out
TO enjoy the revels of St Nicholas
feast in the good old style, who
would hold UP their hands in hor-
ror were it even suggested that
they were simply initiating the
wicked old pagans." Almost all
our popular practices In honor OF
the birth of Christ have their orr
gin in ante-Christian ones.
1T Is no longer controversial
point that Christ-child was not born
on the 25th, or even during the
month of December. We do not
celebrate the actual anniversary of
His birth. but the significance or
the event. The observance of our
