The dolls were given prin tpally TO
children, although their sigr tAcance. y

flee Of human lives to the Internal god
which was practiced at Carthage.
Hardly was the Saturnalia over when
the Paganalia began. At this festival
an altar was erected in each village
throughout Italy. For this all pei sons
contributed money. Hence arose the
custom, so an old medieval chronicier
writes, for the parents to give cakes.
toys. boxes. garments. little wagons.
apples. nuts. etc., to Their children on
Christmas eve. and sometimes rods
were added to the presents In order
that the children might be the more

Pie and Mistlctoe.
TO many people there is, perhaps.
nothing more simply, national than the
Christmas mince pie. unless II be
pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving day. This
gastronomic dainty has a history as old
as Christmas in the North. IL not
older.
Its earliest known appearance was at
the winter feasts of the half-Chris-
tanned Britons. It was then, and la
still In some parts of Great Britain,
made in the form of a manger, and Is
supposed to represent that In which
the infant Christ was laid.
The mistletoe was held In great
reverence by the Druids. 1t was be-
lieved to be particularly and divinely:
healing In fact, 1t was given this at
tribute for centuries. 1t had special
significance as the cause of the death
OF Bladder, the Morse Apollo, who was
killed by an arrow made from it's
branches and given to the blind Holder
by ,LolSi, the god of mischief Balder
was restored to life, the mistletoe tree
was placed under the care of Friga;
and from that time until ii touched the
earth was never again to be an instru-
ment of evil.
The present custom Of kissing under
the mistletoe Is the outcome OF an
old practice of the Druids. Persons of
opposite sexes passed under the kiss OF
love and peace In full assurance that
though It had caused Balder's death,
1t had lost all its power Of doing harm
since his restoration.
Despite the Pagan origin of the ma
jority of our Christmas customs, they
have been so much infused with the
spirit of peace and good will that their
original Significance is completely lost
and there Is an entirely different senti
nicnt in the merry festival day.
