CHRIS T1NAS IN OTHER LANDS

One of the prettiest of Christina
customs is the Norwegian practice of
giving. on Christmas day, a dinner to
the birds.
One of the most joyous of Christmas
the day is observed with fairs and
bonfires and fireworks.
In France, Austria, Italy and other
Roman Catholic countries the midnight
mass on Christmas eve is one of the
most impressive services of the year.
Among the rural folk in many parts
of England it is q popular belief that
persons who die on Christmas eve are
certain of Immediate and eternal hap
pnesS.
In Spain it has been the custom for
ages to include in the Christmas cele-
bration the giving of pardons to all
prisoners who are serving sentences
for light offenses.
Many little Belgian boys and girls
lock under their pillows for the engels-
koek on Christmas morning. believing
that the Angel Gabriel himself will
have placed the cake there.
Christmas day in Corsica is observed
by the people as a religious festival.
but not as a social one. and there are
no family gatherings as in America and
in most of the countries of Europe.

fees were decorated with holly and
other greens, numerous gifts were ex-
changed and in two of the departments
