Of honor. The myths that chung
around il In their wondering, pug
zling minds were many more than
the few that have come to US in
these later years. But, old as they
are, those hoary, heather myths
lack the true flavor of antiquity

that the Druids become merely
modern innovators. 1t was one Of
the noblest Of the trees in Paradise
the lordly tree of good and evil;
and on its twig hung the apple
which Mother Eve plucked with
such disastrous consequences. Alas
for Mother Eve and Father Adam
And alas for US, their punished
heirs-at-law divine! But alas, toe
for the wicked, handsome, tempting
tree of knowledge which put human
Ity in such graceless plight, Upon
its lofty crown, its massive trunk,
its delicious fruit, descended the
universal curse. 1t shTiveled away
from the Mortified earth; it dwin-
died to the meanest smallness; it
was cast out into the bitter cold;
1t became a parasite and beggar,
existing by the bounty of vulgar
neighbors. Only in the pearly
translucence of it's shrunken fruit,
the most trivial of berries, did it

Ditchfeld in his "OId English Customs" saws
that the Christmas tree was first imported into
England by some German merchants who lived
at Manchester in the first years of the nineteenth
century.
IN 1900 a writer on folklore said: Although
sc are accustomed to consider Germany the
home of the Christmas tree it has not been gen
eral there for more than a couple of centuries
Old people are still living whose parents never
saw one in Germany. The decoration of houses
with olive leaves and green branches as in Eng
land at Christmas, is a far more ancient custom
and can be noticed in Botticellis picture of The
Alteration of the Shepherds" in the National Gal
lery in London. 1t is, as Fritz Ortwein observes,
a distinct remnant of an ancient heather custom,
as at the turn of the year during the twelve
days of the Jul festival in honor of Wooden green
cry could be fetched by all from the woods
without punishment. and every hall was deco \
rated with green leaves and branches.
Again, in old works English customs we
hnd many references to the decorating of the
interior of the dwellings, as well as the pious
adorament Of the churches with greenery, and
the Introduction of fir tree as symbolfcal of
the palm. In the halls of the barons and the
squlres and in the gigantic kitchens of the
farmers a Ar tree ever held prominent place
but whether ordinarily decorated or not is not
specifically recorded. Here we are in doubt
In all probability the remaining fruits of the
orchards of the year were huag upon the
branches a population to IT, gods Of the
fruits of the ea-eh to insure good harvests
Going abroad we get fuller knowledge of these
things, The custom of carrying away branches
and trees from the woods at Christmas time in
various parts of Austria became so extensive on
account of the superstitons of the peasantry
that at Salzburg, in 1855, and at Nuremberg. in
1853. severe bylaws were issued against persons
purloining from the forests. In some regions of
Hungary solemn procession with a decorated

Is that our Christmas tree? Anyhow the idea
tnat Prince Albert introduced it into Great Brit
ain is very prevalent One Of the prettiest and
most eagerly looked for events of the Christmas
ude-that Of the setting up of the Christmas
Tee-ls associated with the late Empress Fred
eIlcK OF Germany. Queen Victoria after the
birth of the princess royal had Christmas ceIe-
GRATED at Windsor in 1870 and "on that occasion
Prlnce Albert introduced the pretty German Gus
tom OF decorating a Christmas tree Since that
period 1t has become welcome custom for both
rlch and poor, and affords a graceful means Of
distributing little presents It was probably
hrst imported into Germany with the conouering
ieglons OF Drusus, and is alluded to by Virgil in
the Georges"
1t will be seen by this that the generally &C
cepted notion is that Prince Albert was respon-
slble for the British adoption of the pleasing
tree and all that it means, symbolicaI and prac-
ucaI. to the youngsters. But on the threshold
OF this acceptatfon are met with this state
ment from the "Greville Memoirs" under date
Dec II, 1929, when Queen Victoria was vet but
ten years old. "On Christmas day the Princess

This legend is well propagated in
old Irish and Welsh fairy tales.
The idea is that in ancient Egypt
they used a slip Of the palm tree
with twelve shoots on It at certain
winter festivities. The tree SYM
bolized the year with its twelve
months.
Consequently, any one who is
equal to the effort may believe that
the modern Christmas tree repre-
sents that tWelYe-shooted slip of
palm Minds of less stalwart Gre
dullty may prefer to trace the
Christmas tree back to Germany
only, where they had Christmas
trees long before they we're ever
heard Of in this country or England
or France.
The Christmas tree was not in
troduced into England from Ger
many until after the marriage of
Queen Victoria to her German con-
sort Prince Albert. But where did
the Germans get the Christmas tree
idea from? S. J. Adair Fitz Gerald
writing in T. P's Weekly. offers an
explanation of this by saying that
far away back in the ages you find
Teutons believing in a mystic ash
tree, Yggdrasil, which, with its
roots and branches, united the
world of the living and the world
OF the dead. AT the foot of Ygg-
drasil sit the three Norns. who de-
termine the destinies of men and
