Christmas Eve.

The hoar OF time where the frost's gray
rime
In fantastic glamour lies:
sheen of light on the gieam ing white
That mirrors the spangled skies;
A great cold star in the heavens afar
And a moon trail on the hills;
The earth instilled with an awe fulfilled
And the night with music thrilled.
The carolers sing as the church bells ring,
While up in the organ loft
The sage owls Groom as the calm, sweet
tune
Comes swelling, but ever soft.
The message flies through the changing
skies
By changing time and tongue,
But ever the same as the tale that came
The shepherd men among
Where the mistletoe and the laurel boush
And the holly and bay are twined,
Where the hearth fire CLEANS as In an
cient dreons
One age is but in mind.
AS in modern dreams the hearth fire
CLEANS,
So, under the easement still,
The carolers sing as the tower tongues
swing
Mans peace and Gods good will

For those who want their plum pud.
dings homemade the following recipe
may prove useful:
Take one-half pound Of finely shred.
ded suet. one-half pound OF washed and
dried currants, three fourths of pound
Of stoned raisins, four tablespoonfuls
Of dried and sifted breadcrumbs. three
tablespoonfuls OF warm sifted flour.
five ounces of loaf sugar, three eggs,
three ounces of shredded citron, one
half nutmeg grated and teaspoon
full of brandy. Mix these well togeth-
er, adding enough milk to make It Of
nice consistency, and boil for six or
eight hours.
This pudding keeps admirably, and
when it is not to be used for some
time it should be boiled, say, for six
hours and then hung from a hook in
the storeroom until about to be used,
when it should again be placed in the
pan and boiled for an hour and half
or two hours longer.
1t may be boiled in a mold, a basin
or a cloth and must be kept in which
ever is chosen until ready to be served.

The arrangement Of a table at a
Yuletide party was quite unusual. in
asmuch as 1t was an old fashioned
square one, heightened to aecommo-
date twelve children. 1t was pushed
back against the wall, and at the back
was the largest sized Yuie log candy
box, resting ON bed of holly and mis-
tletoe.
On top of the log was a doll dressed
as a Jester, called the Lord of Mis-
rule" and attached to the front end
Of the log by red ribbons were six
dolls dressed to represent the first six
months of the year. Following after
the log were six more figures dressed
like the last six months. At each plate
were holly paper covered horn and a
wee tree lit with red wax tapers.
The children were to blow out the
candles, making a wish for each one.
If they go out with the very first puff
the wish will come true. A white and
red Christmas ribbon goes to each
plate. fastened by a spray OF holly.
