W THEN King Christmas draws
NM so near YOU may hear the
v v bells on his reindeer sledge
and scent the spicy odor from
the thousand trees reared overnight In
his honor, IL is high time 10 bethink
ones self of the pithy toast against the
moment that the wassail bowl Is
brought forth and duly wreathed with
its Christmas garlands.
The good cheer Of Christmastlde does
nto seem quite complete without the
presence Of the holly-wreathed punch
bowl and the ebullitons Of eloqUence
called this many a Christmas day by the
general name OF "toasts"
In all ages and among all races the
punch bowl has played a prominent part
at convivial entertainments. Some Of the
first mentions Of wine figuring in the
celebration OF Joyous events occurs in
the Rsble in passages that throw light
on the habits or the chosen people
among whom wine was extensively
used. At the marriage At Cana the
Christ turned water into wine Our
pagan ancestors, Saxon and Celt
brought forth the wsssail bowl TO cele-
brste the Yuletide feasts while their
brethren Of SUMMER chimes pressed the
hector from the vine and drank to the
gods of good cheer and plenty.
Drinking Healths
AS Old As Memory.
The drinking OF the health Of ones
fellows Is as old as the memory of man.
At Athens. the guest drank TO his as
seembled companions and then spilled
tho remainder Of the wine over the altar
OF the gods.
81 drink your health" was the toast
~ the ancient Romans. while the Greeks
lifted high their garlanded cups and
cried,
Il salute you-bc happy
The word toast" used in describing
sthe proposal OF health is, too. a relic
OF medieval frolics, dating back 10 the
slime when the three-handled loving cup
was regarded as an Indispensable fea-
fure OF A feast Filled 10 the brim with
mead and wine the hugh cup bore on
the surface a piece Of toasted bread.
After slipping tho drink himself. the host
passed IL on to the guest Of honor at HIS
right hand, he in turn slipping and pass
snE tho vessel to his next neighbor
Round the board It circied until
reaching the master a second time he
drained the cup and swallowed the
toast as a tribute 10 all Of his guests.
Long since has the toasted bread been
4abooed as unnecessary. but long may
A be before the pithy verse and cpl
xrammatic saying win have fallen into
the limbo or forgotten things
