That night, In the middle Of the
darkest hour, Ruth sat up straight In
bed. She was absolutely sure that the
telephone bell over her desk had just
rung. All was still, so, after q min

laughing to herself. The telephone
had been so busy all day bringing her
messages that she had heard it in her

she had waited what seemed long,

"Why, of course" she said slowly,
"he will be up country today" She
was Just about to hang up the receiver.
"Walt minute" cried her heart.

Celebrating the Day
Anciently and Now

On Christmas eve the bells were rungi
On Christmas eve the mass was sung.
That only night in all the year
Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear.
The damsel donned her kirtle sheen;
The hall was dressed with holly green
Forth to the wood did merry men go
To gather in the mlstletoe.
Then opened wide the baron's hall
To vassal, tenant, serf and all
Power laid his rod of rule aside.
And Ceremony doffed his pride.
The heir, with roses in his shoes,
That night might village partner choose
10 sang Sir Walter Scott of the
> glories Of Christmas eve and of
~ Christmas itself And the world
yields to him the palm for the
best practical description Of the sea-
sons dear delights.
Christmas with US is day of giving
and receiving, of good cheer and good
feeling. and essentially it is one Of re-
ligious significance. Hence 1t will
sound strange to many to be told that
number of our Christmas customs
come down to US from pagan times.
Yet such is the%fact- Traces of some
heathen rites are found in England as
well as here, and the cause Of their
survival lies deeper than theology.
When the mother country, so called,
was converted to Christianity the
priests found her people welded to
many old customs. Not all Of these
were what they would have had them,
but they had a practical work to per-
form and went at it in a practical way.
The more revolving of these customs
they properly uprOoted altogether; the
better Of them they preserved, only in
grating the rites of the church upon
them.
Thus it came about that festivities
which had their origin in the old Ro-
man Saturnalia and had come into
use among the druids survived in the
grim mythology of the Saxons and are
a portion of our inheritance today
Conspicuous among these are the burn
ing Of the Yule log and the hanging
Of the mistletoe bough.
Among all peoples who celebrate the
day at all it has always been a day for
eating and drinking, for singing and
dancing and merriment Of all kinds. In
deed, this has been the criticism of the
church against the manner Of observ-
ance-that its spiritual meaning was
too often forgotten in the general tide
Of worldly cheer
In England its observance is univer-
sal. The chroniclers tell us that in
Cheshire no servants would work on
this day, even though their failure to
do so resulted in their discharge. The
richest families were compelled either
to do their own cooking on Christmas or
eat what had been prepared beforehand,
while dancing and merriment reigned,
And the games that were played
number nearly legion, the most Of
them, though. on Christmas eve. Run
