government control of packages and

Christmas Afternoon

AAlAAA AAAA lA.AA.A AAlAAA. Al AA.A Az A.
The afternoon of Christmas day may be rather
a quiet one for the older folks. The gifts have
been unwrapped and arranged and lowered over
from time to time The usually tidy room looks
like a bazaar for the sale Of fancy goods Per
haps neighbors and other friends may come to
exchange Merry Christmases !" and to say, May
thank you here for your lovely gift?"
Between the dark and the daylight, after the
callers have gone and the children have returned
from their play. comes the peaceful and happy
Christmas evening The great day is dying;
Christmas is nearly over. 1t will be a whole year
before we shall enjoy Its merriment again or re-
member happy Christmas seasons of the past.
We may lose many things-home. friends, health.
money-but memory abides and no one can take
from us the happiness that has once been ours.
On Christmas night we remember the old days.
We think of those who were once here to share
our joys. christmas never be the
again 7" many people exclain when they feel as
II the Joy Of life has gone forever. If all took
that view Christmas its"lf might die. 1t depends
upon deep spiritual insight.
Let US, II we can, forget our troubles and even
our sorrows and try to rejoice. If we have chill

constantly Mt work in what was called the spin
ning-house" This Industrial annex of. the estab-
shment remains to this day, and visitors at
Mount Vernon taken by the guides to see the
very room in which the spinning-wheels were
operated
OF course there was high festival not only for
the master and his guests. but also for ''my peo-
ple," as Washington was accustomed to call the
negroes on his estate. He would never have
thought Of speaking of them as slaves. There
were at that period about one hundred negroes on
the place, and at the Yuletide they en-
joyed exceptional privileges. Good things for
their consumption were distributed with mig
gard hand by the mistress of the house, treat
much appreciated being drink known as "methlg.
ler" composed of fermented honey, spices. and
water. Another beverage brewed by Mrs Wash
ington was sort Of peach brandy sweetened with
honey.
Those were days when capable housewife was
supposed to know how to compound variety Of
beverages. Beer was brewed at Mount Vernon
under Mrs Washington's own supervision, and
cider as well. the latter being drink of which
her husband very fond. He always had it on
the table at dinner and would take 1t freely in
place of the wines which were more to the taste
of his guests
By ten O'Clock in the evening the festivities of
Christmas day at Mount Vernon were over. Even
had the fashion of the time been otherwise Mrs.
Washington would scarcely have tolerated late
hours. She always insisted on putting her hus.
band to bed early, and he meekly obeyed. Wheth-
1t be true or NOT, as some CHrOulCleTS nave as
serted, that Mr.. Washington was henpecked, it Is
certain that he considered it judicious to submit
in most things to his wife's wishes.
The frame for this picture of Christmas at
Mount Vernon before the Revolution is ready
made for, thanks to the efforts of patriotic wom-
en-, the old mansion stands today almost exactly
as 1t was when Washington lived there There
Is much of the old furniture, and even great
deal of the old china and glassware The house
is a veritable fragment of American history, and,
though than q century and quarter has
gone by since the merry Yuletide festival here
described. the Imagination readily repeoples the
old place with its throng of guests. eating drink
ing, dancing, and making love, and hears the joy
Gus laughter Of the romping young folks. while
through the crowd moves the stately figure of the
host who, offering his hand to the prettiest girl
in the room. proceeds to lead her through the
graceful and decorous steps Of a minuet.

READING ALOUD TO CHILD
BY HAMLIN GARLAND,
(Author Of "a Son of the Middle Bor.
der0 Etc.)

der" Etc.)
The value Of reading aloud to child
cannot be overstated. In the first
place, it establishes delightful COM
radeship between parent and child. 1t
builds lasting foundation of COM
mon interest and mutual understand
ing. The child associates with the
face and the voice Of his sire much
of the dignity and poetry of the book
he has heard read. He infers that his
father has something Of the quality
of the author. and he carries with
him grateful memory Of the busy
man who laid aside his large affairs
in order to give pleasure to a small
boy.
A fathers voice can vitalize the
printed page to his son even before
the son can comprehend the written
words. commenced reading aloud
to my daughters before they could un-
derstand the spoken words, for the
reason that the very music Of the bal
lad or the drift Of the story enthralled
them. 1t was good to see them strive
to comprehend. It developed their i'm
agination. They are growing toward
womanhood now and they are able to
tell me that they remember those
nights when read to them, with an
emotion which they find 1t hard fit
tingly to express. I gave them both.
in this way, a feeling for glorious
verse, and love for choice words
which has been of the highest value
to them up to this time, and which will
increase in value as the years pass.

chance to impress forever upon the
young mind a clean and wholet ome
knowledge Of one Of the most impor-
tant facts of nature.
Let the mother strive for two things:
to start the child with beautiful and
reverent feeling concerning the origin
Of life; to give this knowledge before
the child can learn 1t in harmful way
outside the home.
It is well to anticipate the direct
question by getting ready before the
child Is old enough to ask It. How to
do this? Begin, perhaps. with seeds.
seeds are the children of the plant.
The. plant gives them protection and
feeds them with its juices. They are
part of the plant. The plant Is the
mother of the seeds. When the seeds
are ripe the pod opens and the seeds
leave their mother to live their own
separate lives.
Dwell upon the care the mother plant
takes of her little seed-children, of the
beautiful flower petals she wraps about
the tiny pod. Speak often and rev.
erently of motherhood. Make the little
boy as well as the little girl under
stand and love the mother.
Lessons From Nature.
In the springtime show birds nests
if possible. If not, show pictures and
talk about the building and how both
parents engage in it. Then show or tell
about the eggs. Explain how the eggs
grew inside the mother-bird. They are
part of her just as the seeds are
part of the plant. When the eggs are
ready the bird lays them in the pretty
nest and sits on them to keep them
warm. The father bird sings to her
and feeds her. Both birds love the
baby birds and as soon as they hatch
out, father bird and mother bird feed
them and care for them and teach them
to n.y. A hen sitting on her eggs can
be used to teach the lesson. The
egg grew in the hen. How wonderful
it is that little egg can change into q
beautiful bird or a cunning little chick.
en-! AS the child grows older lead
him to notice that the seed grows into
a plant just like the parent. that the
egg becomes bird like the parent.
Tell the child how important 1t is for
children to come from good parents.
Speak Of parents and children when
talking of, plants and birds; this will
cause the child unconsciously to con.
meet the ideas gained about plants and
birds with human life.
When a chance comes to show the
child young kittens or puppies or rab-
bits, or the young of any animal, tell
him quite frankly, whether he asks or
not, that of course the young ones
come from, the mother, that before
they were born they were part Of
her. Make it all seem natural to the
child.
Teach Mother-Love.
Dwell upon the love and care the
mother everywhere bestows upon her
children. Include father-love wherever
it is expressed in the lower animals.
When ut last the great question
comes, the child will probably answer
it himself: Mamma, did come from
your" "Yes, darling, you were once
part of mother. How mother. loves her
little son (daughter) :"
Each mother will think Of way to
tell tn. story according to circum-
stances. Only remember two things.
Tell the story properly before anybody
gets ahead Of you and Doisons the
child's mind. And tell 1t in way to
make the child reverence and love
parenthood.

recall the song to sing with this little
game In few minutes, when baby
was ready to play Failing, Falling"
again, sang softly, lifting her this
time by holding my hands at her back
Down goes baby.

Baby we'll may laugh at harm,
While beneath is mothers arm.
Down goes baby.
Without fear;
Up comes baby,
Gaily here.
All is Joy for baby while
In the light Of mothers smile.
Upon her return the little mother
expressed great admiration for my
skill as baby-charmer. "It was quite
simple" said and described what had
happened. She was much interested
and wanted to know more about Froe-
bells Mother Play.
A few days later when she came to
call 1 had my old worn copy of the
Mother Play ready to show her. It
surprised her to learn that this book
which is used so much by kindergar-
teners was written especially for moth
ers with children up to six years old,
and she listened eagerly as 1 showed
her the six or seven games which
baby might play. My new ac-
quaintance thanked me most ap-
preciative]y for the help I had given
her and when she left she carried the
little book away with her tucked under
her arm.
