Forgotten.


There are presents for all the girls and
the boys,
And even the baby has so many toys
That she doesn't quite know what to do
with them all.
Cause the toys are so big and her mouth
is so small,
There are slippers for grandpa and other
things too,
And for grandma a shawl of the loveliest
blue,
While for father and mother and all Of
the rest
There's exactly the present they say they
like best
And wherever so am certain to find
Santa Claus has been there and left some
thing behind.
But. although 1t is Christmas, I'm sorry
because
No one has a present for good Santa
Claus.

CHRISTMAS IN MEXICO
A RELIGIOUS FESTIVAL.

NHRISTMAS celebrations In Mexico
l. differ greatly from ours aud usual
ly last for several days. Bright
lanterns suspended In the air proclaim
the glad tidlngs of the holidays. and
every Mexican Jncal. no matter how
humble. puts out Its beacon TO light the
steps OF the Saviour should he per-
chance appear The story OF the birth
Of the Redeemer is annually portrayed
In all Mexican towns and In a sym
bollc language which the most igno-
rant can READILY understand.
The performance Is given by fifteen
players. consisting OF Joseph and Mary
and the infant Jesus, two archangels,
Lucifer aud three OF his minions and
number of shepherds. The costumes
are adapted to the Mexican conception
OF the characters and are novel In the
extreme All Of the costumes are got
up tastefully, and. while q strict con-
formnnce with the requirements OF the
first century might rob Joseph OF his
sombrero. still It Is doubtful II the
lesson which It Is desired to instill In
the minds Of tho people would DO as
effective II all the minor details OF the
early Jewish fashions were followed
The scene OF the play opens near
Bethlehem. where the shepherds are
tending their Hocks, by a host of angels
appearing and telling them Of the birth
Of the Saviour and inviting them to fol-
low to where he lies. They follow the
star which leads them to the stable. In
the manger of which the infant rests
In the urms Of Mary and Joseph. While
rejoicing, I.ucifer, armed with two
swords, appears and attempts to de-
stroy the child Jesus, but Is repulsed
by two angels. who Keep watch over
him Not to be outdone, Lucifer sum-
mons three archdemons, who light with
the angels for the course Of half an
hour. resulting In the hnal overthrow
Of the evil one and his emissaries and
| the plncing OF the feet of the angels
| lunn their necks
Then the shepherds break out into
rajnicing. and, while portion OF them
sing the praises Of the Redeemer who
Is born unto them. others chant In O
harmonious strain the goodness anc
mercy OF God This feature, accompa
lied by music on the harp and violin
Is kept up until late hour each nigh
until the holidays are over.
One must understand the Mexican
lenpIe and their devoutness and In
tense religious feeling to fully appre
ciatc how strongly the presentation o
he shepherds affects their minds.

A CHRISTMAS TREE TABLE.

A favorite idea for dinner en-
tertaining is the Christmas tree
table. Tiny fir trees, arranged
with Kate Greenaway SYM
metry in straight lines, are set
in a row, one little Christmas
tree being placed between every
two guests. This is not, how
ever, so successful in the case of
q round or oval table as il 10
whore dinner party for twelve
or more is concerned, neeessitat-
ing a long table. Tho trees, fes-
tooned from one to the other
with ropes of tinsel and sarlands
of silver and golden "rain," give
a most festive appearance to the
dinner.
Each tiny tree, planted in red
lacquer tub, is hung with mi
mute glistenin9 balls and with
bonbons wrapped in bright tin
foil paper in different oolors, the
light from the candles or eIeo-
trio lamps, reflected by the
bright decorations, giving tho
appearance Of lamps.

Burke states that the opening may be

AS the allotting will not be finished
