And hid bchine the parlor chairs,
As still as two small baby bears
With butter on their paws.

All scrunched up like a Hottentot,
And skursely breathed at all.

And as the hours disappeared

At noises in the hall.
And nen old Sandy hove In view.
He wore a shaggy coat and two
Big goggles on his eyes.
He wore a pair of motor mitts
As fuzzy as pussy kits
And wool cap like my mother knits
For daddykin's surprise.
He whispered once or twice, and nen
He caekled like a settin' hen
Or like a rooster does.

While fixin' up the Christmas tree.
But old man Sandy can't fool me

shining out into the semi-twilight of

starlighted darkness of a properly
frosty Christmas morning and in ev.
eryday clothes, wearing mittens, If 1
choose, and my second best hat, walk
briskly through quiet streets to the
church and join the waiting congrega-
ton.
There won't be crowd. There will
be no display. Only few score of
those to whom Christmas means a
wonderful reality will be there And
there will be congregational singing,
lots of it, and we'll run the gamut of
the hymns Of the Nativity. Well read
the appropriate Scripture responsively
and listen to the Christmas story told
once again by the kindly voice of the
unpretentious clergyman. = New York

Turkey Not an Ancient Christmas Dish

Turkey Not an Ancient Christmas Dish.
The turkey as a Christmas dish was
introduced into England in the six
teenth century and is therefore Of less
antiquity than the huge sirloin of beef
or the mince pie. Mince pies were first
shaped like a manger, as were the
Yule cakes given out by the bakers to
their customers. The plum porridge
later developed into the plum pudding,
which dates from 1876. At the old
Christmas feasts peacocks and cranes
formed some of the dishes. Before be-
ing roasted the peacock was carefully
skinned, and after leaving the oven
the bird was reclothed with its old
Dlumage.

Healing Virtue In Christmas Coin,

Healing Virtue In Christmas Coins.
In certain parts Of Worcestershire
and Staffordshire the idea prevails that
n silver coin from the Christmas morn
ing offertory Is n sovereign remedy for
any i'll that human flesh is heir to. Ac-
cordingly any householder who hap
pens to have an ailing child or other
person In his house hles him to the
clergyman of the parish on Christmas
morning and asks as n favor sacra-
ment shilling, as the coin is called.
The coin given In exchange has to be
obtained by collecting a dozen pennies
from as many different maidens and
then changing the coppers for silver
shilling. For this coin the applicant
receives the coveted sacrament shill-
ing, which on being taken home Is
hung round the ailing ones neck and
is popularly supposed to effect a rapid
and complete cure Of the complaint, no
matter what 1t may be.

white beard, holding his big whip, and
from his face the small boy did not
turn.
Across the room was q creche; also
a wonderful and beautiful thing-the
infant Jesus In the manger, the mother
in her blue robes, st. Joseph with his
staff, the three kings resplendent.
The children had been perfectly still
for fifteen minutes looking at Santa
Claus when the little girl whispered to
the boy. He squirmed, struggled, but
she was too much for him. She dis
lodged him from his seat dragged him
to the creche and with motherly Irish
piety pressed him ON his knees.
Reverently she described the holy
group, then would incite devotion from
a more human motive. "See the COW,
Denny. You mind the COW We used to
see last summer at the farm when We
went on the fresh air? See the goat,
Denny. You mind the goat in our al
ley? It's his pitcher" But Denny
whined and pulled and pulled to be
back again to his idol.
The little girl looked up and met the
eyes of the Woman Who Saw. Her sigh
was that given by every woman since
the beginning, for every man for whose
soul she holds herself responsible.
'I'm afraid" she said, Denny likes
Santa Claus better than he likes God"
