of ST. Nicholas.

Christmas stockings have come
down to US from the good st. Nicholas,
who was saint of the fourth century
Of the Christian era and was born De-
cember 8, 342. in Lydia, Asia Minor.
He was regarded as especially the pa
tron saint Of children, young girls and
sailors. The Christmas stocking Gus
tom arose as follows:
Il seems that st. Nicholas. who was
the archbishop Of Myra, lived in the
same town with an Impoverished mo-
bleman who, because he had no pOr-
lions to give his daughters and, In
deed, no means with which to support
them, was about to sell them into q
life Of sin. st. Nicholas, who was &C
customed to dispense his large for
tune In gifts Of charity, resolved to res
cue the young women. AZ he ap'
preached their house, wondering how
he should proceed, the rccnn shone out
and displayed an open window. In
stantly st. Nicholas threw purse OF
gold In at this window which. falling
at the feet Of the father Of the girls,
enabled him 10 portion his C.uSst
daughter. The second time st. Mich
olas visited the house he also was able
to throw a purse of gold through an
oren window, thus providing for the
portion Of the second daughter. On
