Note: If the hostess prefers to have
the marmalade made at home here is

it is well to make a quantity at time:

greens, with either fruits or flowers in

might be put into each parcel or knot
ted along the length of the ribbons.
And the rest of the room ought really
to be decorated, too, with holly or
green's draped over the pictures and at
the doorway, for the custom of bring
ing green things into the home at Yule-
tide dates back to very beautiful Gus
tom of the old Druid worshipers, who,
at a festival which to them was much
like our Christmas, brought into their
house branches of trees and mistletoe,
which was the sacred flower, and they
believed that the spirits of Druids driv-
en- away from their tree homes by the
cold would come and take up their
habitation in these branches and that
as long as this spirit remained good
luck would be with all the members Of
that household. So from this pretty
pagan custom has come ours of deco
rating our homes at Yuletide.
