"BOXzNG DAY''


a MERICANS go back to the "grind"
N on the day after Christmas, smok-
ing the cigars that the wife chose
because of the 'pretty bands,", but
the Englishman observes boxing day
that day. The name would lead one
to suppose something in the nature of
a fistic encounter, but the supposition
is wide of the mark. The boxing"
means simply boxes-the neat little
packages presented to the housemaid,
the cook, the postman, the policeman,
the railway conductor, the dustman.
The boxes are now generally quite
round, about the size Of a fifty cent
piece in the great number Of cases,
and are as much silver as the govern
ment thinks best to put into two
shilling piece or half crown.

ReUiUi1,g Old Time
'Yule Customs

CPECIAL efforts are being made by
- women in many communities to
spread a revival Of the old Gus
toms regarding Christmas. Some years
ago a Boston woman with touch of
antiquarian spirit managed to stimu-
late Boston to revive pretty Yule-
tide custom by celebrating its coming
by singing carols in the streets and by
Illuminating the houses through the
placing Of candles in the windows.
Other cities emulated Boston in this
matter. In Carlisle, Pa, community
Christmas tree was lighted in the pub
lie square, and its glowing joy was
continued all along the streets by light
ed candles placed in the windows,
many of which showed in the middle
Of the rooms so lighted up, displayed
to the passersby In the night, private
Christmas trees, the glitter and beauty
Of which thus were shared with all.
An objection to this attempt at glad
ness-at least so far as concerns the
use of candles-has been the risk Of
fire. But these days of electricity or
even of gas seem to minimize the idea
of danger, and there are different de-
vices that may be applied to do away
with all risk in the carrying out of
the friendly suggestion. 1t is advised
therefore that 'the gladness and
brightness of the home on Christmas
eve be not kept behind closed blinds"
and to that end It is suggested that the
light from every window, whatever its
nature, be permitted to shine into the
streets until midnight. The idea Of
light is associated with all that is good
in life. The glow Of the cracking Yule
log betokened the hospitality ready to
greet the stranger at that time, but
there was more to it than that. Light
in days gone by was supposed to keep
off evil spirits. Wistar in Phila-
delphia Public Ledger.

Here's a Merry
Christmas Game

TIME old English game of tip re-
quires the use of enough assorted
Christmas candies, nuts, raislns
and other dainties to make small pile
upon table, also pair of sugar tongs.
One of the party is chosen, who must
retire to another room, while the re-
naming players decide upon one Of the
dainties in the pile to be known as
Tip" The chosen person is then re-
called and with the tongs removes
pieces from the pile, trying to avoid
the piece named Tip, of which, howev-
er, he does not know the location. All
pieces removed belong to him unless he
moves ''tip," when all must be returned
to the pile and the turn passes to the
next player, who retires to the other
room while another "tip" is named. A
player may pass his turn when, after
drawing several pieces, he wants to
avoid the possibility of losing them
through drawing "tip." The game con-
tinues until the pile disappears.

BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT

thusiastic young philosopher to the
question, 'sWhat was your best Christ

to me once" he added, "but even that
isn't as necessary us a fountain pen.
If you get the rigke kind you simply
wouldn't be caught dead without it.
1t never leaks. 1t never clogs. It'll

paper. It'd be cheap at $40. and it
only cost $780,"

Passing Christmas
EUe Outdoors

HTE all slept under the stars, as
w usual, on Christmas eve. To
shut oneself up in room from
the delicious South African night is
simply to miss one of the joys Of liy-
ing. mo one knows the stars who
has not slept, as the French happily
put, 1t, la belle etoile. He may know
all their names and distances and sg-
mtudes and yet be ignorant of WI
alone concerns mankind-their serene
and gladstone influence on the mind"
Stevenson surely would have loved
Rhodesia for it's nights alone.
One great advantage of the long
drought from which we had been suf-
fering-in Rhodesia one must needs be
an optlmist or die-ts that there were
practically no mosquitoes and very few
flies, so that the stuffiness of mos
quito curtain was unnecessary.
The night was cool and silent, ex-
cept for the distant howl of jackal
and the occasional hOot of an owl.
About five o'clock the life of day began
to STIR and the sun gradually turned
the mopani and mimosa trees to
golden green and bathed, us in the
scent OF mimosa blossom, the go away
bird called impertinently from bush
close by, and two green parrakeets
few over our heads.
Then one little sleeper after another
rubbed his eyes and crept to the foot
of the Le1 to fathom the treasures of
the Christmas stocking. AS the sun
rose higher tongues were loosened, and
soon crackers cracked, and trumpets,
six of them, We're heralding the morn,
if not exactly in the manner of the an
gels.
The noise worried no .one. But when
we had had enough we dispersed to
seek baths, and some of us were even
energetic enough to have a round of
golf before breakfast.-"The Heart of
the Veld," by Madeline Alston.

CHRISTMAS REUNIONS

TTOW many families whose mem
bers have been dispersed and
scattered far and wide in the
restless struggles Of life are on this
day reunited and meet once again in
that happy state Of companionship and
mutual good will which is source of
such pure and unalloyed delight and
one so incompatible with the cares and
sorrows Of the world that the religious
belief Of the most civilized nations
and the rude traditions Of the rough
est savages alike number It among the
first joys Of a future condition of ex-
istence provided for the blest and
happy! How many old recollections
and how many dormant sympathies
does Christmas time awaken Charles
Dickens.

The Mothers
Christmas Gift

Il never comes to Christmas but |
think about the times
We used to save our pennies and
our nickels and our dimes,
And we punched them all together,
even little baby brother
Putin something for the presentt that
we always gave to mother.
We began to talk aboutit very early
in December,
Twas a very serious matter to us
children, l remember,
And we used to whisper nightly our
suggestions to each other,
For by nothing cheap and tawdry
could we show our love for
mother.
Hers must be gift Of beauty, fit to
symbolic her ways;
Itmust represent the sweetness and
the love that marked herdays.
1t must be the best our money, all
combined, had power to buy,
And be something that she longed
for;nothing else would satisfy.
Then it matterednot the token, once
the purchase had been made.
II was smuggled home and hidden
and with other treasures laid,
And we placed our present proudly
in her lap on Christmas day,
And we smothered her with kisses
and welaughedher
II never comes to Christmas but !
think about the times
We used to save our pennies and
our nickels and our dimes, :,
And the only folks | envy are the
sisters and the brothers
Who still have theprecious privilege
Of buying for their mothers.

A CHRISTMAS LULLABY

Half an hour before midnight on
Christmas eve in Mexico the "Litany
of the God Child" is sung. 1t is after
this that the world-famous lullaby
song Of all Mexico, the 'Roro," is
heard. Every Mexican mother knows
this "Rock-a-bye" song, which is sup
posedly for the soothing of the infant
Jesus. In time and tune it is not un-
like the American song, "Old Gray
Goose"
Many other nations besides the Mex
leans have their Christmas songs, but
not many have distinctive Yuletide lul-
labies.

7heChristn1asBird

ID OASTED swan was the Christmas
N piece de resistance in Chaucer's
day, but this dish gave place to
the peacock, and the peacock in Its
turn was conquered by the turkey,
when Capt. John Smith, fresh from
his 'Virginian wars, came home to tell
the amazed English folk of the bird
that he saw parading the new world
forests, EXACTLY like a proud Turk
showing off before his harem."
When the peacock was in its glory
at Christmastide its plumage was gen.
orally restored to the roasted bird and
Its beak gilded. Sometimes the whole
bird was covered with gold leaf and a
strip of cotton, saturated with spirit,
set alight in it's beak-a relic possibly,
with the English snapdragon and
blazing pudding, of the fire worship of
pagan days. A lady of noble birth and
great beauty was always chosen to
bear the bird into the banqueting hall.
In the days of tournaments it was
over the peacock that the knights, with
uplifted swords, swore their oaths of
chivalry and yalor. The last record of
such fare seems to have been not upon
Christmas, but al the banquet given
by the duke of Granada to the duke
Of Clarence. afterward William " of
England.
1t must be admitted that golden pea
cocks and boars' heads have most al
Turing sounds to one with a jaded ap-
petite, and the England of old. with
its roistering carol singers. seems a
most attractive land to have lived in.
But the Englishman of today is more
than well content to have his carols
sung by little cockney lad, to laugh
at the pantomimes in his magnificent
ly comfortable theaters and to feast at
home on turkey, mince pie and the
blazing pudding.

It's Christmas
Time Again

There's a FIRE in the CRATE and a
light in the hall,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the sleighbells ring and the
children call,
For it's Christmas time again.
It's time for a Christian land to raise
Her Ioudest paeans Of love and
praise
For the Holy Babe Of the Bethlehem
days,
For it's Christmas time again.
There's a wreath Of green at the
windowpane,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the church bells echo the glad
refraln,
For it's Christmas time again.
Oh, it's time to turn with the golden
smile
To the friend we doubted and
scorned awhile,
To rid our hearts Of their greed and
guile!
For it's Christmas time again.

Ladies' Home Journal.
