hurrying to the buffet, he would drink

salad, ices, caviar sandwiches, trufned

"The host, after several hours of

Fastino at christmas.

7
When Cromwell ruled England he is-
sued an edict against all festivities at
Christmas. The festival was altogether
abolished. and the display Of holly and
rnistletoe and other emblems OF the
happy time held toibe seditious.
In 1914 the Long parliament COM
manded that Christmas day should be
observed as strict fast, when all peo-
pie should think over and deplore the
great sin Of which they and their fore
fathers had been guilty In making
merry at that season.
This act so provoked the people that
on the following natal day the law was
violently resisted in many places.
Though these scenes were disgraceful,
they served their purpose and put an
end to an unjust order.

Their curly locks cleaning in auburn and

There were dolls with bright faces and
books full of song,
Tin trumpets and drums, blocks and bon

And there by the chimney, with arms full
Stood Santa Claus watching the girls and
the boys.
They spied him-they rushed with volley
of cheers;
They pulled off the wig that curled white
round his ears;
They poked at his eyes. gave his whiskers
twist.
And laughed at the shape of his chubby.
fat fist.
They tore of his coat, rolled him over the
floor,
Jumped on his legs, banged his head
'gainst the door.
Pulled his nose till it cracked, pinched his
cheeks with a vim,
And laughed till the tears made their
bright eyes grow dim.
Then he burst with thud, and again
rang their shout.
On. on went the wild, merry frolic and
rout,
AS they formed in battalions. while each
bold brigade @
