Mexico sChrlstmas Eve

Christmas in Mexico lasts for nine days. ending with Christmas eve. They are described as E'the nine days wanderings,' being synbolical of the wandefiags of the Virgin Mary and Joseph in search of shelter prior to the birth of Jesus.
 One custom is to have nine families of friends or rela atiycs take part in this quaint observation. Each family en- tertains in turn for one evening all the others Both adults and children participate ill the wanderings. Arriv- ing at house, they apply at the door of each room for shelter, which is re- fused by those within. Finally all are admitted to the largest room, where refreshments of cold meats, cakes and wine are served. In many instances the children are garbed in fanciful costumes.

Santa In Grass Valley

One town in the United States has a practical and apparently perpetual Saata~CIaus. In Grass Valley, Cal. Ferybody gets Christmas gifts. There is no child so poor as to be disap- pointed when Santa passes his boun ties around. and, for that matter, no rownperson either. Twenty-Five years ago Mrs. Hansen of Grass Valley was an invalid, confined to her chair at the window of her cottage. She watched tNe school children troop by. Some of them were seantily clad and looked i'll nourished The good woman for got her own misfortune in her com passion for the unfortunate little ones
 She suggested. that on the last day of school before the Christmas holi- days pch child should bring to school something to give away to others. II need not tc anything big or costly just whatever the child could spare. \ committee was to distribute the things where they were most needed. So many little ones and their parents were made happy the first Christmas that Grass Valley adopted the idea per manently. Now for a quarter of century Mrs. Hansen's improved Santa Claus system has been in working or der, though leng ago the good woman herself was released from her chair of pain and laid to rest in the town ceme- tery.

 One child is blindfolded. turned around a few times and invited to break the pinata with a cane or rod. Three strokes are permitted, and 1t usually happens that the cane hits only impalpable air. After an hour or so of failures somebody hits the pinata n smart blow, and the legs and trunk of the grotesque figure split open.

The pastor grinned when he saw me again and remarked something like "Cast your bread upon the waters and it will re- turn to you after many days"
 The next Christmas the pastor sent me to his old college chum. who was sweet on Miss Susanna. There was every prospect of match. since Miss Susanna had despaired of winning the preacher who was known to be en- gagged to another lady. But-the very next Christmas the preachers college chum sent me to Miss Susanna with a perfuned note praising her dainty lh- tie feet This broke oH the match, of course
