The early Roman Christmas, SAYS ].
A Symonds, probably kept Christmas

not become the glorious creature Of

being, partly confused In their imagi-
nation with "reminiscences OF pagan
deities. AS the Good Shepherd and as
Orpheus, We fnd him painted in the
Catacombs; and those who thought Of
him 40 God loved to dwell upon his
risen greatness more than on the idyl
OF his birth. To Thorn his entry upon
earth seemed less a subject of retoic-
Ing than his opening of the heavens.

Christmas Rites.
Life.

One of the charms OF Christmas IL
its perpetuation of ancient rites and
customs. The Christmas tree, the mis-
tletoe and the holly, the chants and
anthems, Santa Claus and the rein
deers-all bark back to earlier centu.
ries when life was simpler and man
kind sought it's Joys on less intensive
plan In a sense, there is no such
thing as q modern Christmas, though
we may give 1t a modernist touch here
and there.

HOW He DOES IT

ME)S COMES ME-: right down the chin
WI When the Christmas bells ar
EkSSSS rung,
NG0N When little folks are fas
asleep
And stockings all are hung;
All loaded down with pretty things,
With guns and dolls and drums
So be sure to hang your stockings
Where he'll see 'em when he comes.
YOU might hear him swiftly coming,
Riding on the wintry blast
His reindeer team a-jingling,
And their hoof beats falling fast
His furs are black with chimney SCOT,
His beard is white as snow,
His sleigh Is full Of pretty toys,
You ought to hear him go!
HE lights upon the sleety roof
And doesn't stop a minute
He jumps upon the chimney top,
And down he pumps within It;
He pauses on the hearthstone,
And he takes little peep
To see II all the curly heads
Are safe in bed asleep.
HE goes about on tiptoe,
Nor makes bit of noise,
He fills up all the stockings 81.
With sugar plums and toys
And then he gives little laugh,
Pops up the chimney quick,
And off he jingles on the wind,
The jolly old St Nick.
