Christmas Games

Lost at hot cookies, round Christmas
 fire"
 From the changed surroundings of a twentieth century Christmas it is pleas ant to look back into the days when Christmas logs still glowed on the hearths of peer and peasant, squire and yeoman alike; when the robust English folk fell naturally to playing Christmas games-for
 England was merry England, when Old Christmas brought his sports again when the Christmas holidays lasted for F full days of genuine merifment.
 Sir Walter Scott has given us an in- comparable picture of the Christmas of those devout and cheerful middle ages the ages when
 Domestic and religious rite Gave honor to the holy night; On Christmas eve the bells were rung: on Christmas eve the mass was sung That only night in all the year Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear. The damsel donn'd her kirtle sheen The hall was dressed with holly green; Forth to the wood did the merry men go To gather in the mistletoe. Then opened wide the Baron's hall To vassal, tenant, serf, and all The heir with roses in his shoes That night might village partner choose The lord, underogating, share The vulgar game of post and pair

The Feast of the Day

With most people Christmas Is a fam fly meeting time, and though such meet ings are very delightful they mean extra work flor the maids. In order to min imize this as far as possible on the day itself, always arrange to have dinner that can, to large extent, be prepared beforehand
 With the menu now given the soup can be entirely made the day before, left in a clean basin, and will only need warming.
 The turkey or goose can be stuffed and put all ready in the baking pan.
 Then, remembering that some visitors may have delicate digestions, arrange to have outlets as well as turkey, as they can be egged, crumbed and fried the day before, time relocated gently in covered baking pan in the oven.
 But if they are to be treated in this way, remember they must not be cut too thin, and should be under rather than overcooked.
 The Christmas pudding will, of course, be ready all but the final relocating, and the mince pies ditto.
 The cold sweet can be made the previ- ous day. and in the menu substitute the ever popular cheese for a savory, n order to save cooking.
 Croutons for the soup, thick gravy, bread sauce and sausage or bacon to go with the turkey, will all need to be garnish of vegetables to put in the cen ter of the outlets will also be needed, as well as sweet sauce and warmed brandy for the pudding. Crackers to go with the cheese are always appreci- otod

On Christmas Day

This festival commemorates a day many years ago, when the worlds greatest Man came to Us very simply, as come the humblest.
 Therefore. let us make 1t day of loving democracy, of bread sharing, and of hand clasping, between high and low.
 If we are poor. let us remember that even the rich are human, and bear their own share of the common travail-for per haps We also would be rich If we could.
 If we are rich, let us remember that even the poor are divine-potentially, as sharers of Godhead-and have their own need, their own desire for joy and beauty flor, perhaps we shall yet lose our riches
 And because this is a festival of gifts, let us make it a day of glad giving;
 For We can all give something. if it be only the silence that endures a taunt
 And because it is festival of joy, let us take joy in giving ioy-a just exchange of benefit and beauty.
 And because it Is festival of birth, let it be d day of service to women, and of affectionate homage to mothers;
 For no hero or savior comes into this world, save by their agony.
 And because this is a birthday of a won drous Child, let it be above all things a day for children
 For the plainest and dullest children. for the sweet little children that play. and Gods pity.-for the sad little children that work.
 Let us greet those in our houses and those we pass on the street, those who serve and those who rule, the friend the homeless stranger, the enemy, striving in our hearts to wish for each and all:

Distributing Gifts

Here is rather jolly way of giving presents at a party.
 Get somebody kind and clever to make pretty bag out of colored pa- per. It should be rather large one.
 This should then be filled with num- erous little gifts-penny toys and wee colored paper, bags filled with sweets do splendidly-and hung up at com venient height in a doorway.
 Then each of your little guests should be given a pretty light wand made of a piece of cane or a tree twig-with colored N ribbon wound round it. s
 The children are then blindfolded in turn and led somewhere near the bag, and told to try ahd hit it and break the paper. A 5
 This isn't half as easy as 1t sounds, chicks, so each child is allowed three trials

Christmas Time!

Christmas time! That man must be misanthrope indeed in whose breast something like a jovial feeling is not roused-in whose mind some pleasant associations are not awakened-by the recurrence of Christmas. There are peo- pie who will tell you that Christmas Is not to them what it used to be; that each succeeding Christmas has found some cherished hope or happy prospect, of the year before, dmmed or passed away: that the present only serves to remind them of reduced circumstances and straitened incomes-of the feasts they once bestowed on hollow friends, and of the cold looks that meet them now in diversity and misfortune
 Never heed such dismal "reminiscences. mere are few men who have lived long enough Tn the world who cannot call up such thoughts any day in the year. Then do not select the merriest of the three hundred and sixty-fve for your doleful recollections.

 This is the true idea of the Christmas spirit That Christmas spirits which per- meates our great country from coast to coast, and which finds expression in the multitudinous works of charity carried on everywhere at Christmas time. It is a spirit to do good for others; to make the world better; to unite in charity for our fellow men and in praise for our God, and with such a Christmas spirit will not the chorus of angels be heard again sing ing, Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth to men of good will''
