The Christmas Dinner

The Christmas dinner of ancient ira
dition has expanded into an almost i'm
possible meal in the course of centu-
ries through the industry of innumer-
able writers of various generations,
who seem to have, through ignorance
or design, attached to this ample meal
and it's attendant good cheer a host
of dishes and beverages and customs
that really were intended to extend
throughout the Christmas season.
1t 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 fes-
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 OBJ
servance Of this simple 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

At the Window

SWHEN Christmas time is pretty
w near, if we're good girls
an boys,
Our mothers take US up the street an
let US see the toys,
An we forget that it is cold an that
our clothes is thin
An think we're mighty lucky just
to stand there lookin' in.
If we could only have our wish I
guess that we would pray
To have some angel come some
night an take that glass
away,
An it would pay the angel, too, to
see the mothers smile
If we could play with all those toys
for just a little while.
Some day when we are all grown up
an rich as we can be,
If Santa Claus would just bring
things like those in there
to me
An for awhile it seems almost as if
he really had,
An then I member that he amt,
an, my, it makes me sad!
Some day when we are all grown up
an rich as we can be
We're goin' to buy a store like that,
an when kids come to see
The things inside we'll let 'em in to
help themselves to toys.
An, my, we know what that will
mean to little girls an boys!

An Eskimo Yule

A SEA captain once said that when
- God was creating the world he
threw all waste material aside in
a heap, and that was Labrador. God
neverintended it to be inhabited, maybe.
But it is inhabited, and into that waste
of ice clad cliffs and crags Moravian
missionaries have penetrated so that
amid the desolation of Labrador snow
the Christmas festival is celebrated.
AS service time draws nigh all. old
and young, the men on one side. the
women on the other, are waiting in
eager expectation. By o'clock it is
quite dark, and the bell rings. All
come trooping in, clad in the best
clothes they can muster. l say all,
for not one will be wanting. unless
kept at home by serious illness. Even
those who are i'll, if not too sick. will
be brought on sleds and carried into
the church, and those who really can
not come weep at home.
For the little children the happiest
part of the service comes later, when
each child receives a lighted candle
symbolizing the light of the world.
Each candle stands in a white turnip,
which has been saved from the hard
won harvest wrung from that inhoS-
pitable soil A hole is cut into the
turnip and the candle inserted, so that
it serves as a candlestick. In former
years, when deer hunting was more
successful, the Eskimos brought the
deer talloW to the missionaries. who
made the candles out of it. Then aft
er the service the children had not
only the turnip to eat. but also the
rest of the candle which had been
brought home unconsumed But now
imported candles are used. and they
are not fit to eat, so the children have
only the joy of seeing them burn.-Rev.
Adolf Stecker, Moravian Missionary in
Labrador and Alaska, in New York

The WassaiI Bowl.

Inc WdSSan BOWL.
Wassail, or wassail bowl, is regard
ed as of such antiquity that it is said
to have been known to the ancient
Britons. For many centuries it has
been favorite beverage during Christ
mas festivities, although it was calcu-
lated to cause biliousness. if it did not
have a more immediate disagreeable
effect. Such a mixture ought to have
been intoxicating. Here is the way
they used to manufacture it in Oxford:
Put into a bowl half pint of Lisbon
sugar; pour on it one pint of warm
beer; CRATE a nutmeg and some ginger
into it; add four glasses of sherry and
five additional pints of beer; stir it
we'll; sweeten it to your taste; let it
stand covered up two or three hours,
then put three or four slices of bread,
cut thin and toasted brown, into it,
and it is fit for use.

Christmas In Oberammergau.

In Oberammergau, Germany, a dis
tinctly religious tone is given to
Christmas. The Christ Child is the
guardian angel of the time. 1t is he,
they say, who brings the Christmas
tree. He comes down from heaven
on Christmas eve, holding it in his
hands. Two angels bearing presents
fly before him and two behind. He
puts the tree on the table, rings a
bell and flies away. He brings a
blessing to the children that have
been obedient
To the children of Oberammergau
st. Nicholas is an angel in disguise.
He goes about from house to house
in ragged clothes and with a bag on

leaves fruits and candies. If the an
swer is mo" he leaves a stick.

ties of the holy month. as they called
the month of December AT these
times the Anglo-Saxon and afterward
the Danish kings of England lived in
state and were surrounded with all the
great men of their kingdom, who were
sumptuously entertained. There was
also an outflow Of generous hospitality
toward the poor.
During the reign of Alfred the Great
law was passed with relation to
holidays by virtue of which the twelve
days after the Nativity were set apart
for the celebration of the Christmas
festival. 1t is said that but for AL

Use Little Santas.

The Christmas house decorations
should, of course, include plenty of
holly and Christmas green's; but, if
possible, small Santas should play a
conspicuous part in the scheme. Pa
per or china or cloth-whatever they
are-they should perch over the doors
or windows, cling to holly wreaths
and hide themselves in the holiday
greens.
The dance orders should have small
Santas painted or printed or pasted
at their head. These orders can
be bought decorated in many stores,
but any hostess who can use water
cOlors could make them herself, and
one who cannot use water colors can
use the same sort of little gummed
Santas or Santa Claus heads for these
orders that she used for the seals of
