 YuIe Babies and Their
 Symbolism

s-wHERE seems to be little doubt
 that porridge (and not pud-
 ding) was the older and more
 correct designation of this time honored delicacy. The word pudding was formerly used in the sense of stuffing tor forcemeaD Porridge, on the other hand. was used in the sense of our present day pudding. When Shakespeare speaks of ''porridge after meat" be undoubtedly means pudding after meat" And in Sheppards "Epi- grams" (published 165D we read. NO matter for plomb porridge or shred pies" P. H. Ditch6eld says: 'The plum pudding Is not older than the early years of the eighteenth century and appears to be house of Hanover or act of settlement dish. The pre- revolution or Stuart preparation of plums and other ingredients was DOT ridge or pottage and not a pudding and was made with very strong broth Of shin of beef"
 Christmas plum buildings have Of late years become the toys of fashion. In the good old days, when the fule log cracklcd fin the spacious fire grate of the rich and poor and when snow actually fell at Christmas time, people were well content with plain homely plum buildings topped with dancing spitfre But custom has changed with the times, and the present generation Cor at any rate part of ip requires It's Christmas buildings enriched with jewelry or gold coins. This innovation commenced about 1905.
 But of greater importance Is what has been considered the theological reason for being of the plum pudding. The searchers after symbolical in- terpretations contend that on account of the very richness of its ingredients the plum pudding is emblematic of the costly gifts of the Magi
 About Yule babies. Yule doughs or pop Qollypop) ladies, custom existed in some parts of giving sweetmeats or a special kind to children at Christmas. These tasty morsels in the shape of doll-eyes, mouth and all-were made of dough and entrants. They were flat cakes about the size of a hand. roughly shaped in the figure of wom- an with the hands crossed over the breast, and in the crossed arms was smaller figure. representing child, the features being rudely suggested by means of entrants. There can be no doubt that this sweetmeat-which was made and given to children only at Christmas-represcn the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Holy Child, practical and pleasing way of bringing home to the mind of the children the central facts and figures of Christmas tide.

~NHE Christmas of 1869 found the
 happy, wide awake family of
 General Grant settled in the
 White House, It was just fourscore years on March since Mrs. Washington was executive mistress" During their eight years in the White House the Grants were counted an un- usually happy home circle
 All their holidays were marked with simplest pleasures and unselfish char ities. Mrs. Grant was very systematic in her charities She made lists and distributed Christmas gifts with wis dom and good sense. There was no end of calls upon them soon after the war; and none went away empty.
 In 1870 President Grants father spent Christmas at the White House. The sons came home from college. and Nellie and her friends made the old house ring with good times. Mrs. Ere mont gave them a dancing reception. and the sewing club of which Nellie was the president had a wonderful Christmas entertainment, furnished mostly from the White House.
 General Grant, like General Sher- man, had a great love for children and their pleasures. One Christmas the matinee was "The adventures and misadyentures of Clown and Panta- loon in the wonderful pantomime of Jack and the Beanstalk,'" and the White House children were determined to go.
 "Now. father. please" urged Nellie Grant, and "Yes, father, you promised us," said Jesse, and General Sherman said. "We1l go. all of us. and take the whole tribe"
 And they did-uncles and cousins. several distinguished generals and the president. Officers of church and state were forgotten in the ridiculous pranks of Jack and the Beanstalk." A great banquet was afterward served in the state dining room by the new steward, Melah. All the distinguished guests joined with the children in games and fun. There were music and prone aades through the east room.
