the name of the cut. 1T is merely a
loin and has no name" answered the
servant. Well" said the king as he
tasted the juicy roast, 1T deserves to
be knighted." and borrowing a sword
from one OF his courtiers he tapped
the roast and said. Arise. Sir Loin

time certain cut of beef has been
6nown as sirloin.
Mince pie and plum pudding came
upon the Christmas table several CEN
turtles ago. but neither was anything
like so delicious as that to be found
at the twentieth century feast. for the
plum (speiled plumb" at that timex
was merely a coarse porridge TO which
some dried fruit had been added.
while the mince pie was usually made
Of tough boiled beef. suet. apples and
a poor quality Of liquor. Both these
dishes have improved by evolution.
The Famous wassan Bowl.
The wassail bowl is perhaps the old
est custom known of Christmas fes-
tivlties. for IT can be traced back 10
the ancient Britons. History records
very little OF the effects of this drink
although It's ingredients lead one TO
think that 1t would at least bring
about spell of biliousness even II II
did not effect the drinker at once.
At oxford. England, they claim to
have the genuine old recipe for MAX
ing the Christmas wassaH bowl used
centuries ago. The reader can. best
Judge of its merits from the recipe
which reads as follows:
Put into a bowl half pint OF

coarse sugar. and pour on it one
pint OF warm beer, CRATE Il nut

MY most remembered Christmas

went out OF the day for me. Since
then one Christmas has been about

coming and going of the Christians,
suddenly ordered the temples to be
burned while the birth of Christ was
being celebrated. and twenty thou
sand Christians persisted. When Con-
stantine became the head of the Ro-
man Empire In 3o6 he showed
friendly feeling toward the Christians.
and for the first time In many years
they were able to celebrate the Ma
tivity in public. Thus the Emperor
Constantine formally recognized Chris
tlanity as the established religion and
proclaimed It as such Just after he
moved the seat OF government to Con-
stantinople. now the stronghold OF the
Mohammedans. From that time
Christmas has been celebrated in some
form.
Ancient English Customs
Many of the picturesque customs OF
Christmas originated in England CEN
turtles ago. and while n few OF them
are still kept up by the old English
families the Nativity of the Saviour
OF the world Is celebrated in much
the same way at present there as In
the United States. 1t was King Henry
the Second who was the father of the
elaborate Christmas dinner. and It

mas was thus fi1ed at the time of the
year when the most celebrated fes-
tfvals OF the ancients were held in
honor OF the return of the sun which
at the winter solstice begins grad
ually to regain power. The Saxons
and other people of the north held
a festival at this season In honor of
Thor. when there was much festivity
and religious rites. This feast was
called Yule or julie. primitive word
conveying the idea Of the return OF
the sun. The Bacchanalia and Satur-
MALTA OF the Romans was festival
similar to that held In the north. and
presents were given and received on
that occasion just rs Christmas pres
ents are today.
Celebrated AS Early AS The First
Century.
That the Feast Of the Nativity was
observed as early as the first century
Is shown by the writings on the rock
hewn tombs OF the early Christians
Driven from place to place by perse-
cution these pious people found some
way Of celebrating the Nativity. AS
early as the year sos the tyrant Do
cletian, who In the early years Of the
reign had paid little attention to the
