"Breaking the Pinate''

Not until after the religious service in the cathedral does the real Christ mas dancing and feasting begin in the City of Mexico. One of the curious GUS toms is the breaking of pinates. says a Mexican writer in the New York Sun.
 The pinate is very brittle earthen- ware pot or vessel, usually gay ill color and of various shapes. These pinates are sometimes modelled and dressed to represent a clown, a ballet dancer, an angel. almost anything your fancy might conceive Into the pinate arc stuffed the small favors of the Christ mas season, such as candies, peanuts, unbreakable toys and little silver ar ticles
 Swinging high in the well lit court yard of the Mexican home, the game is for the children to reach up and break the pinate. Parents and chil- dren all gather under it. Each one is blindfolded and given a long stick, placed under the pinate, turned round three times and told to strike at it. One is given three tries, usually un successful. Finally some one does smash it, and as the innumerable things tumble to the ground there is a general scramble for them.
 This ceremony takes the place of the Christmas tree, which is purely a fiesta for the children. After the children have been sent to bed we who are grown up enjoy a typical Christ mas supper. It is usually feast of fish, salads, sweets and wine. Dancing on well waXed floors to the music of a stringed orchestra follows.
 Around the sala, or dancing room, on tables are placed costly gold and gilt ornaments. These might be analogous to your cotilliOn favors. except that they are bestowed on everybody. It is long after midnight, far into the dawn of Christmas day. when the dancing is over and the guests, loaded with little gifts, depart.

A Legend of Christmas

Tn sword and sash and scarlet coat Upon Christmas day, Through frosty woods and hoary
 fields
 A soldier rode away. She watched him through the falling
 snow,
 A young and lovely maid In milky pearls and flowing robes Of velvet green arrayed. With rumors of the distant wars The months went slowly by Till once again the Christmas bells Were pealing to the sky, And, walking in the lonely wood, A bush the maiden found With thorns as sharp as little swords And scarlet berries crowned. She leaned against an ancient oak And wove wreath to wear Of scarlet berries, bright and gay, And set it on her hair. And, To, the pearls upon her breast Were changed to berries, too, And, rooted to the oak, branch Of mistletoe she grew. When sweet and clear the Christ.
 mas bells
 Ring out OCT vale and hill The -mistletoe is seen In pearls and velvet still, And with her in the revels ruled By music, mirth and folly, Tn sword and scarlet still arrayed, Behold .he soldier-holly!
