Decorations in Middle Ages.

They did their Christmas decora-
lions very thoroughly in the middle
ages. Every mans house, as also
the parish churches, were decked with
holm. ivy. bays and whatever the sea-
son of the year afforded to be green, :
we read in STOW, but he omits to men
ton that decking with evergreens in
the month of December, like most OF
the details of our Christmas festivi-
ties, was heather in origin. 1t orig
mated, for all that, in very poetic
idea, for the Druids did it so that
the woodland spirits might have 9
warm place in which to take shelter
until the spring came round agar
and the trees out Of doors once more
had leaves of their own.

The Syrian New Year

ESsgESILL the Christians of New

~ rSsSSH rians, for instance. who
RRlAaAEESz2s live in the lower end OF
Manhattan island, in Washington
street. from the Battery up to Albany
street. have an old custom OF giving
their presents on New Years day.
Then there also is a difference IN the
manner of giving The Syrian cniF
dren do not hang up their stockings
Neither do the parents disguise tnen-
selves as Santa Claus. On the con-

knows who is going to be his santa
Claus, and consequently Is treated 10
no extraordinary surprise. There 10
one thing. however. OF which ne re-

nature of the present he will receive
The child picks out whosoever ne

succeeds in meeting and greeting MIN
at the proper time on New Years day.
Then comes long vigil for midnight,
as the custom so prescribes it that the
one VINO offers the first greeting at
| the beginning of the new year shall
| receive a fitting reward from the one
| greeted. A good wish for success and
prosperity in the first hour Of New
| Years day is held by the Syrians to
augur well for the following twelve
month. and the one who first wishes
good prospects is entitled to reward.
Custom prescribes that at the time
of this New Years greeting whatever
the one greeted happens to hold in his
hand becomes the property of the 9th
err The one who receives the greet
ing is supposed to De so pleased WITH

first can lay hold on. This latter Gus
tom originated In feudal times, whel
the Emir was omnioCtent in his pro

their sustenance upon his gifts an
what he allowed them of the plumber
