THE BUSY FAIRIES

have heard from Uncio Peter who is
wonderfully wise.
That Just before tho Christmas snow is
falling from the skies
The little folk In Fairyland begin to work
away
AT all tho very incest toys for Santa
Claus sleigh.
He says they choose tho nighttime, when
you cannot hear sound
When the playroom fro has nickered out
and shadows gather round.
But silent hours they do not mind they
do not heed the night
For tho moon holds up her candle and
they want no other light.
And Uncle Peter tells me- so think you
should be told
That those who work for other folk arc
very seldom cold
They trim the dollies' bonnets and they
plait the dollies' hair,
They sew the dainty dresses that the
pretty dollies wear,
They paint the lovely engines and the
sailing boats they make,
And the best OF all tho mincemeat pies
are what the fairies bake.
And Uncle Peter tells me-and think he
must be right
That work like this Is just tho sort to
mako our Christmas bright.
And don't you think loving thought
should go on Christmas day

ask nc other pay7

RELIGIOUS FEELING IN
ERIN'S CHRISTMAS
TSHG celebration Of the festival In
III Irnlnn1 lliAinr

TSHE celebration Of the festival In
n Ireland does not dhfcr to any
great extent, perhaps. from It's
method Of observance in other c0un.
tries. The deeply religious sentiment
of the country makes the religious OBJ
servance OF the festival its dominant
feature.
The humblcst habitation wears an
air Of checrfulncss when decorated
with holly and ivy. from which the
red berries which grow on the holly
peep out in great profusion.
In the Catholic churches in the larger
cities and IN many of the smaller
places as well masses are celebrated
hourly from midnight on Christmas
eve, thousands docking first to the mid
night mass and later to those that fol.
low. Even in the penal days. when it
meant death for Clergyman to per-
form the holy sacrifice or for those
who assisted ut it to be caught iii at
tendance, the midnight mass was ne7-
er abandoned.
When the churches were destroyed
by Cromwell and Elizabeth the priest
took refuge beneath some protecting
rock. and with scouts among the flock
thrown out to guard against surprise
by the soldicry the mass was offered
up rs it had been in the earlier days
of lrcland's religious glory.
Today. happily there is no such
ban on the religious faith Of the people,
and the throngs who then flocked to
the glen or the mountain side to assist
In the holy sacrifice can attend their re-
ligiouS services in comfortable churches
everywhere throughout the land.
On Christmas morning. especially in
the rural portions or Ireland, the peo-
pie flock to the morning masses. often
travelling eight and ten miles from
their homes in the remote hills and
valleys OF their respective parishes
The goose hangs high in Ireland on
Christmas day, and no family Is too
