Christina. Wa. For Adults Then.

Christmas Was For Adults Then.
Seventy years ago Christmas was an
adult and home festival 1t received
all it's honor, all it's joyousness from
the ideas Of father, mother and home.
It was the golden ring that held all the
love and sentiment we associate with
those three almost divine words. Sons
and daughters might stray to the very
ends of the earth, but Christmas
brought them home again-in the body
If possible, but If not possible then in
the sweetest love and memory. If
child had done well it looked forward
to the Joy of telling it to father and
mother at Christmas; If it had done
Ill it felt sure of pardon and help at
Christmas. Father Christmas" was
their own father, and by his side stood
the dear, sweet mother, ever ready to
persuade and plead for all her chill
dren; glad to welcome, glad to forgive,
glad to praise; full Of sympathy for
every joyful and sorrowful condition.

Mistletoe Superstitions.

What superstitions cluster, thick as
it's berries, round the mistletoe! In
old times such were its magic powers
that it was worn as an amulet, and
potent love potions were brewed from
it. It cured wounds, enabled any who
held it not only to see ghosts, but to
compel them to speak. And that it's
magic is not all lost will be proved
this Christmastide in thousands Of our
homes, where its white berries lend
sanction to the osculatory homage paid
to pretty faces.

made an assignment for the benefit Of
his creditors. The assets are listed at
about $4,000 and the liabilities at

secured by real estate mortgage. The
creditors are mostly wholesale imple-

TNHE first century of colonial life
saw few set times and days
for pleasure. The holy days Of
the English church were as a
stencil to the Puritan nostrils, and their
public celebration was at once rigidly
forbidden by the laws Of New Eng
land.
New holidays were not quickly
evolved, and the sober gatherings for
matters Of church and state for a time
took their place. The hatred Of "wan-
ton bacchanalian Christmases' spent
throughout England, as Cotton said. in
''reveling. dicing, carding, masking.
mumming, consumed in corporations,
in interiudes, i'll excess Of wine, in
mad mirth," was the natural reaction
Of Intelligent and thoughtful minds
against the excuses of festival
which had ceased to be a Christian
holiday, but was dominated by lord
of misrule who did not hesitate to in
wade the churches in time of service
in his noisy revels and sports. English
churchmen long ago revolted against
such Christmas observance.
OF the first pilgrim Christmas we
know but little, save that it was spent,
as was many later one, in work.
BY 1859 the Puritans had grown to
hate Christmas more and more. It
was, to use Shakespeare's words, 1.-The
bug that feared them all" The very
name smacked to them of incense,
stole and monkish custom. Any person
who observed it as holiday by for
bearing Of labor, feasting or any other
way was to pay s shllings fine, SO
DESTROYS were they to ''beate down ev-
cry sprout Of Episcopacie
Judge Sewall watched jealousy the
feeling Of the people with regard to
Christmas and noted with pleasure on
each succeeding year the continuance
Of common traffic throughout the day.
Such entries as this show his attitude:
Dec. 25, 1885. Carts come to town
and shops open as usual. Some some.
how observe the day, but are vexed,
believe, that the body Of people pro-
fame it, and blessed be God no author
Wy yet ~ CO1pel Lucu " Keep II.
When the Church of England estab-
lished Christmas services in Boston
few years later we find the judge
waging hopeless war against Governor
Relcher over it and hear him praising
his son for not going with other boy
friends to hear the novel and attrac-,
tive services. He says, Il dehort mine
from Christmas keeping and charge
them to forbear." Morse Earle.

And the Christmas sleishbclls jingle and

As the last stray shoppers hurry. takin'

trundle bed
Where there's Christmas dreams a-danc-

But it REILLY is surprisin' what lot Of

And the little hand that hung it by the

Has grip upon our heartst-ings that is
