this novena OF nine nights. inviting

route singers have been placed ready
To chant their denial of shelter 10 the
pilgrims. Mexican houses are nearly
all built alike. with a centre courtyard,
the columns Of which support an up

are built. The posada procession
moves solemnly and slowly over the
entire house, first downstairs. then up
stairs. As it pauses In front OF every
door It chants the following request
for shelter, symbolizlng the appeal of
Joseph and Mary on their nine days
journey to Bethlehem,
These are the words OF this chant:

A HIDWINTER with us IL not the
MI season OF snow and ice to be
l. found in the North. Our
Christmas festival is warm
with the perfume OF flowers. rich in
its luscious fruits. for we celebrate the
sacred anniversary in the golden sun
shine Of our southern climate. While
you in the North are gathered around
big open freplaces. waiting for the
sound of sleigh bells on the reindeer
team driven by your wonderful Santa
Claus. We are celebrating the religious
significance OF this sacred memory
out Of doors.
The origin OF these posada parties
at Christmas time comes originally
from ancient Spanish custom, for no.
where except in Mexico and IA few
other places In South America is the
posada known except on the southern
coast OF Ireland, where II has survived
ever since the Spanish Armada went
ashore there. In our country we re-
serve the social privacy OF the Christ
mas festival even more jealously than
you do in other countries. II you are
not Mexican or at any rate Latin
it is difficult to obtain entrce to a
posada. 1t Is we'll that we should make
the occasion exclusive, for Christmas
commentaries the foundation of do
nestle life. it symboliZes the integral
units of the home circle.
Just outside the beautiful city of
Mexico IL the Holy HILL so designated
because it belongs to the patron saint
OF the Mexican Indians and peon folk,
the Virgin of Guadalupe. Although
Mexico is fortunate in many holidays,
none Is more universally observed
than Christmas As early AS Decem-
ber 12 these people flock into the city
OF Mexico from the villages and noun
tains TO pay their respects " their
patron saint on the Holy Hill, and
afterward they begin to build their
little puestos or booths. where during
the weeks actually preceding Christ
mas Day one can purchase the city
fiesta things suitable for the holiday.
The atmosphere of gayety and good
will which one sees on tho streets of
Paris, or London. or New York pre-
cedirg Christmas appears much
earlier In the city OF Mexico. The
brilliant bunting decorations Of the
puestos. their display of varicolored
wares, tho usual toy instruments. the
jostling Of crowds and laughter of
children in the streets last almost the
entire month Of December.

details upon which the extremists play

wife Is trying her hand AZ making
tarts. turnovers and individual pies,
using q rich crust instead Of the pun
paste Of the professional cook. After
a careful inspection OF tray Of these
dainties AZ they appear at the tea
hour at the hotels and restaurants,
there Is no reason why any woman
who can make pie crust need hesitate
to do n little experimenting.
Individual fruit tarts are the easiesr
form Of French pastry for tho un-
skilled cook to attempt. Choose de-
tached patty tins Of the size wanted.
Instead Of lining them with the pas
try. invert each little tin and cover
It with a circle of crust. IT will be
found that the pastry docs not shrink
from the rim in baking as when the
patty tins are lined with pie crust in
the old fashioned way. IL should be

to insure the shells keeping its shape
while baking.
Variety in crust may be given BY
using equal quantities Of entire wheat
and pastry flour or by mixing into
the ordinary crust finely chopped nut
meats or powdered macaroon crumbs
Little baskets can be fashioned from
these pastry shells by laying curves
Of crust which have been baked over
some curved surface Of suitable size.
Empty baking powder tins of the quar-
ter pound size are excellent for this
purpose and six strips of pastry may
be arranged over one can. These.
when baked. can be inserted into the
fruit filling Of the tarts. pressing
them In sufficiently to hold in place.
A favorite flhng for these tarts 10
Malaga grapes, cooked for few min
utes in a wine favored syrup. Tho
grapes must not lose their shape and
should be arranged in a little pyra-
mid above the rim Of tho tart. As
many as ten grapes should be al
