The Christmas dinner of ancient ira

or design, attached to this ample meal
and its attendant good cheer host
Of dishes and beverages and customs
that really were intended to extend
throughout the Christmas season.
It is true that the Christmas dinner
in England since the time of King
Henry VII. certainly has been an i'm
portant feature OF the seasons FEES
tivities. 1t was this elegant prince
who, at his Christmas feast, person
ally brought to table the boar's head
and placed it before his son. the young
prince He made a ceremonial ob-
servance of this staple feature. He
was preceded. as he passed firmly up
to the table. by trumpeters.
Whether Henry VII. was the first to
establish the custom cannot now be
ascertained. But the custom obtain
ed throughout England in certain
quarters ever since. For ages the
custom has been followed at Oxford
university. and those who have dip
ped into the pleasant pages of Wash
ington Irving's "Old Christmas" will
learn how the ceremony was conduct
ed In the early part Of the last cen

butler, supported on either side by a
Nveried servant bearing lighted can

WILSON FORWARDS GERMAN
PEACE NOTE TO THE ALLIES
President Decides to Make No Recon-
Observation-Disclosures Arrived at
After Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, Dec. 18.-President
Wilson's decision to forward the CEN
trail powers peace notes to the entente
allies without any mediation offer by
the American government was made
after a prolonged cabinet meeting.
The notes received from Germany,
Austria and Turkey were meant to be
Identical but the TRANSACTIONS received
here differed slightly in wording, and
an effort was made to harmonic them.
Some officials suggested that the Amer
lean representatives in each Of the
central allies capitals should be re-
quested to transmit the documents di-
rect to American diplomats in the en-
tente countries.
The president has not determined
whether any action in behalf of peace
will be taken later by the United States
on it's own account, but is holding him
self In readiness to serve in any way
possible toward bringing the warning
nations together.
In other quarters than the White

entente allies toward the peace pro-
pOsal is being awaited with the deepest
interest.
American diplomacy in the various
questions relating to the war may be
said to have stopped short, temporar-
lily, with the announcement Of the
Teutonic offer to talk peace.

A New York paper printed few
years ago an amusing letter written by
a man who says be has invented a
simple plan whereby the prospective
sender of gifts may be put in touch
with the wants and don't wants OF his
friends. His idea is simply that cir
cular letter should be mailed to his
friends about Dec 10. The letter
should state that, as the recipient has
given him presents in the past. the
writer supposes he is considering
continuance Of such action, and in or
der to spare the giver worry and the
writer disappointment, the latter Is
solving the problem by the application
of little common sense.
He proposes to inclose two lists, one
containing the names of articles he
does not want, while the other list
would have upon it gifts he would like
to receive.

The balsam fir is almost known
botanically as the "Christmas tree
for when the carefully recording sci
enlist states that the balsam fir grows
to height of fifty or sixty feet. that
it's wood is used for the manufacture
of boxes. that it's bark furnishes the
balsam used in medicine and art that
it's leaves are gathered for fragrant

ancient Teutons used to celebrate the
winter season by decking little fir

it was a symbol of the glorious sun

didn't use them ON packages that cost
money. Not much What he did was
to buy a lot Of penny Christmas post
cards, and on each one he stuck tag.

Then he sent them to all his friends.
and they were SO tickled with the idea
that they never thought about how
cheaply he had got off. Mind over
matter, see?
And nearly as funny as the joke was
the fact that a lot Of women who re-
ceived these cards soaked them in
warm water and split them open. or
tried to split them open. in the firm
belief that the cards could really be
opened.

For Holiday Music

TOYLAND'S wise old superintendent
has thousands of sweet sounding
musical instruments, says Flea
nor Schorer in the New York Evening
World. And he is going to dash down
from the icy north just the very min
ute that the sandman has finished
throwing sleepy sand in kiddies' eyes.
He is going to slide down the chin
ney and leave something in the fire
place, under the Christmas tree, for
you, good boys and girls. What shall
he leave for you?
Would you be glad if you would
wake on Christmas day to find little
grand piano tucked underneath the
tree. a piano that will really play
sweet music. that one can sing with;
a mahogany piano, with a beautiful,
real Keyboard?
OF, if you are boy, would you like
one of the fine FURNISHED brass bugles
with a red cord and tassel tied on it:
To blow the bugle to wake the grea:
toyland army of bluecoats that stand
Stluly Ill even rows Ill ali dIlcullVR UOOy
awaiting your command-wouldn't that
be great sport?
How about a big boy scout drum
They are perhaps the newest things
in the snare instruments.
They are very strong and sturdy
having sheepskin heads, held down by
screw tension. Surely a tattoo beaten
on a boy scout drum would fire the
little tin army with energy.
There are plenty of other musical
toys that might appeal to little ones
who do not care for these-fifes on
which the American lad can easily
learn to play Yankee Doodle" and
Dixie and violins which utter sweet
low sounds from under the bow
Would you like French horn. clar

ments are very popular, so, if you dc
want any you had better write Santa
