for its dominance over the Puritan celebra-
ton of Thanksgiving. but in this day and time
the only tie that binds it to the Christmas
dinner is size. delicacy and costIiness.
This year its cost is almost prohbitiye.
Besides. it is particularly appropriate that we
should think carefully of our manner Of cele-
bratinG Christmas just now, when the darkest
cloud in the worlds history is hanging over
us. 1t is impossible to tell what sacrifices
NAV be REQUIRED of us at the coming holiday
season. They may be of a purely personal
nature or they may be patriotic duty.
So. looking at it from every point OF view,
why not make our Christmas dinner at once
simple and symbolic? Why not use sacred
food to celebrate sacred feast?
By sacred food mean fish, a food that has
been held in reverence since the dawn Of civil
lization.
Centuries before the birth of Christ fish
was held as a sacred food by the pagan world.
He added still another significance when He
blessed the fish and fed the multitude on the
shores Of the sea of Galilee.
Many of the ancients maintained sacred
fish PONDS and ate the fish from them to
sanctify themselves. 1t was also an ancient
custom to robe the priests in the skins of the
animals that were held sacred by any par
ticular sect, and the images of priests robed
in fish skins are to be found on the carvings
among the ruins of ancient Babylon.
So it was with every people. The Jewish
custom of eating fish on sacred occasions IS
of such antiquity that its origin is shrouded
in oblivion. The ancient Greeks held certain
shellfsh in reverence and the Chinese still be
leve that the turtle, that delight of all cpl
cures. is too sacred to be eaten. When

the marketing is carefully done this should
not be difficult task, even in war times.
Turkeys, they tell US. will be cheaper than
they were at Thanksgiving. Even at 80 or %
cents a pound, the initial cost need not be an
extravaganza if every particle Of the bird is
used to advantage.
In the holiday menu, arranged for eight
nersons. turkey is planned for the main course,

the household allowance is limited.
At the Christmas dinner table IN many
homes this year there will be vacant chair.
The housewives heart cannot but go out and
wonder how the absent one is faring so far
away. Will it not make his absence from the
home circle little more bearable if the chair

ones could be each personally consulted, he
would vote for his place to be given TO some

Don Phillip, Duke del Miras, II. ]. Herbert
Count Ramirez. chancellor. james Neil
Old Luis, the charcoal burner, Paul Weigel
The Black Wolf is a bandit who
rules at the head of band known as
The Charcoal Burners Despite his
bold robberies he is benefactor for
the poor and helpless. This is proven
on many occasions when he robs 9TH
ers to help them.
The duke is riding with the chan
cellor to meet his daughter and on
their return trip see the Black Wolf
assisting friend to escape the police
The dukes men are outnumbered and
withdraw. A price is placed for the
bandits capture, dead or alive"
The duke declares his love for the
countess and takes her in his arms.
This is displeasing to her and she
frees herself and runs into the forest
with the duke in pursuit. He falls
and is discovered by a member of the
Black VOLTS band who takes a ring
from his finger. The countess meets
the Black Wolf, who takes her to the
castle, promising to return, which he
does and is discovered by the duke,
who plots his capture.
By comparing a locket and chain,
which he has, with the ring taken
from the dukes finger, the Black
Wolf discovers that he is the rightful
successor to the title held by the
duke, and the king declares him the
legal ruler and duke. The duke at
tempts to hold the countess to her
promise of marriage and trys to kill
the new duke, but in the duel that fol-
lows is killed himself. The lovers
are thus reunited and great happi-
ness lights the face of the countess
as she goes to the arms of the man
who has proven himself so worthy of
her love.
