LIGHTING THE BAYBERRY CANDLE.

from this immemorial belief that we
must trace the present day faith in the
virtues of the Dayberry candle.
The bay is a species of laurel and as
poets and victors were crowned with
the laurel or the bay, wishing them long
life and happiness, so is the same wish
conveyed in the bestowal of a candle
made Of the WaXen berries borne by
the sacred tree.
Bayberry dips are also made as we'll
as the nodded candles. These dips are
smaller and less even in shape and
show us how candles were made by re-
peatedly dipping the wicks in the melt
ed wax of the bayberries and drying
each layer till the dip was Of proper
size. That was before molds were in
PRODUCED, early in the eighteenth CEN
fury
To accompany bayberry candle one
should send in the little box in which
1t is daintily wrapped a card on which
Is printed, in red and green lettering.
the legend:
ON CHRISTMAS EVE.
A bayberry candle burnt to the socket
Brings luck to the house,
Food to the larder
And gold to the pocket
When these cards are not to be found
the luck rime may be written on the
back Of ones visiting card and wrap
ped with candle, but in that case it
must not be forgotten that the in
closure of writing necessitates extra
postage.
Their color, soft olive green, blends
beautifully with other Christmas
decorations, and they burn with a
steady flame, emitting a delightfully."-
pungent fragrance, and they are con-
sumed evenly all around without max
ing unsightly cutters or ridges of wax
down the sides as ordinary candles do
From New England comes the tradi-
ton that If lovers separated by dis
lance each lights bayberry candle in
honor of the other at the same hour
the aroma or incense arising from the
burning wick will drift in the direc-
ton Of the absent one: hence the
candles make strong appeal to young
people Of romantic temperament.
A candle must be presented to you.

Christmas eve is the time for burn

follow out the old idea of the laurels

~ VERY one is familiar with the
viands that go to make up the
~ Christmas dinner of the Eng
lish speaking races-the tur-
key. goose, plum pudding and mince
pie festivals but how many Of us
know what they eat at Christmastide
in foreign countries?
The Frenchman's Christmas bill of
fare, for instance, is extensive and
varied and in many respects quite
different from our own. The great
Gallo national dishes are truf1led tur-
key and black buildings, of which
every Frenchman who can afford such
luxuries makes very hearty meal at
Yuletide.
In Russia the Christmas meal consists
largely of two dishes-one of wheat
porridge served with honey and the
other curious compound Of stewed
pears, apples, oranges, grapes and cher
ries, sweetened with honey and served
cold
Italians, too, are fond of rather
sweet and indigestible dishes. espe-
cially at Christmas. One Of their
favorite combinations is that of eels,
periwinkles and vermicelli, while the
inevitable macaroni and spaghetti form,

at all times.
The German Christmas dinner offers
as its principal attraction the goose,
without which your true German
would feel that he had not had q real
holiday feast. Germans. like Aus

taste. as evidenced by their numerous
varieties Of cake.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-(By Mail to

together" said King Edward. Muir
der has just been done in the palace
in Servia. King Alexander and Queen
Draga had been slain by bullets and
sabres in their bed room and King
Edward was mad about II.
He pointed out that there was
sort of trade unionism among kings.

and folks in the profession" must
stand by each other.
And, only the other day. while
Germans and Englishmen We're kill
ing each other, King George stood
by" the Kaiser If London rialto ru-
mors are true.
The story of London's Broadway
goes like this:
When Sir James Barrie wrote the
one act war skit Der Tag which
has the kaiser for one of its charact-
ers. he planned to have the German
ruler impersonated to the life. But,
to the establishment Of theater goers'
the actor who played the kaiser wore
no mustache and evidently dressed as
far away from the kaiser part as he
possibly could. Most OF the articles
wrote against the piece and most OF
them criticized the "kaiser's' make
up.

BOSTON. March 9.-To say that
baseball fans in Boston are already

Town for next seasons worlds Sc
ries is putting 1t pretty strong. and
the fans elsewhere will concede Bos-
tonians the right to figure" all they
want. and its fact that grows
stronger every day. Taking all in
all. from a viewpoint at this end OF
the line, both teams appear to have
Al chances of leading at the end OF
the 1915 season.
OF the two, the Red Sox look to
be in better trim than the Nation
ais. although the Braves are toting
the world championship pennant.
The Braves chances this year, all
around the circuit, are popularity sup
posed TO be OF the best. The team
can still be considered a young one.
The acquisition OF Sherwood Magee
will prove a great advantage both in
the infield and at the plate, but, get
ting under the surface, there are
many things to be considered. For
instance:
Evers' condition cannot be forecast

Stories From the War Zone

And then. so theater row says, the
truth came out. The censor, who is
member OF the kings household
wouldn't allow the kaiser TO be carl
catured on the stage. Theater folks
don't say why the censor took this
stand. But they understood.
War is war. but royalty and ma
jesty is majesty and the whole king
business is cheapened when one rul-
er allows his subjects to make fun OF
another ruler And there you are.
And then there's the additional fact
that both King George and the kais-
er used to sit on Queen Victoria's
knee and call her grandmother"
The English newspapers. it is true
caricature the kaiser mercilessly. but
no member OF the kings household Is
a censor OF what shall appear In the
newspaper.

Stin another point for consideration
arises. Will Stallings be able to
hold this bunch of youngsters in
leash as he did last year2 At that
time they were bunch, really un-
tried, without team work and on a
club that had been travelling in the
cellar for several seasons. Under
Stallings they played to the highest
notch in the baseball world and If
he can continue TO hold them, there
appears to be little doubt but the
Braves will give desperate fight to
any team that comes near them.
The Red Sox will open with prac-
tically the same lineup as they had
at the close OF last season. Very lit
tie has been doing in their camp
the past winter. All the doing has
been with the other clubs and. TAX
ing these changes into consideration,
especially the Athletics, the Red Rox
appear stronger than the year they
won the big series. At the start OF
the 1914 season the Sox showed a
decided weakness both at the bat and
on the first bag. 1t caused small
eruption and toward the end Of the
season Carrigan had the team work
ing in fine shape. The trip around
the globe during the winter OF 1873
Il Is blamed for causing Iris Speak
er's fall down in his batting until the
middle Of last season. He picked up
then and finished going strong. The
addition Of regular" first base
man, in Hoblitzel, did more to put
the club on its feet than anything
else. The fact that the present line
up has worked the best part of a sea-
son together raises the hopes Of the
fans to the extent Of picturing the
1915 American League and possibly
the championship pennant floating In
the Massachusetts, Bay breezes.
