CHRISTMAS WAITS AT
PUBLIC CHRISTMAS TREE
Popular Old English Custom Growing
In Favor In America.

Christmas waits" those bands OF
singers familiar in England for several
centuries, have been less numerous in
recent years. but the custom. with GER
tain variations, is gaining ground in
the United States. The municipal
Christmas trees which will mark the
great holiday in many towns and cities
this year will have the singing OF
Christmas carols and anthems as a
part Of the exercises in connection
with the trees.
The town of Burlington. N. j., has
kept up the custom of the waits since
colonial days. Each Christmas eve
band Of vocalists, recruited from the
choir Of st. Mary's Episcopal church
start out an hour or so before mid
night and sing carols and anthems in
various sections Of the city. They visit
the homes of the rector. the curate and
members Of the vestry and sing before
their doors. As these homes are stu
ated in widely separated sections OF
the city, the singing is heard by prac'
tically all Of the residents.
Citizens Of the town who may have
retired early are usually aroused by
the singing. and windows in upper
floors are thrown open. AS the sing
ers move away after finishing the car
OILS the listeners yell greetings to their
Deighbors. close their windows and re-

In many Of the houses before which
the singers render concerts the occu-
pants are expecting them, and they are
invited in to partake Of refreshments.
They can linger but little time, for
they must cover their arranged route
before the Ginning Of the church bells
ushers in a new Christmas.

THE BLAZING YULE LOG.
It Holds Precedence Over the Christ
mas Tree In England.


The Christmas tree was rarely seen
in England until made popular by the
German husband of Queen Victoria,
and. while it is universal there at the
present time, it is the Yule log and the
mistletoe that hold the center of at
traction. Long before England became
a Christian country the Yule log was
burned in honor Of a pagan deity at
the winter solstice. and the infectious
spirit of cheer and good will which
prevailed at that time survived when
Christianity spread abroad.
The festivities in England begin with
the lighting Of the Yule log on Christ
mas eve. In many parts of the cOun-
try the whole family. including serv-
ants. gather about the hearth and
"beguile the long evening with rural
games, legendary jokes and oft told
Christmas tales" One Of the oldest
customs observed in England is the
singing Of Christmas carols from house
to house by Christmas carolers. Some
Of the carols sung today are at least
100 years old.
