It was indeed '-merr1e old England" in the time of Alfred when Christmas began December IS and lasted until January 6.
 But a Puritan governor got himself mighty unpopular with the present day kids, by forbidding play on Christ mas day.
 The governor, we are told by Will l liam Bradford, found them in ye street at play, openly; some pitching ye barr and some at stoole-balI and such like sports. So he went to them and tooke away their implements, and | tould them that it was against his | conscience that they should play" | That's just the way father feels about 1t Christmas afternoon when he wants to nap and all the kids want to blow horns, pound on drums and run | the noisy train round the room. The British parliament abolished | Christmas in 1643, and it was 12 years before the day was again celebrated openly in England.
 In 1859 Massachusetts enacted a law placing a fine of five shillings upon any person who observes such a day as Christmas Day" They kept Santa Claus out of the colony until 1881.

you can't fool me-"
Fine place for the women to vote
for the first time. Why couldn't the
Board of Trade rooms be used for
polls"
"Is my hat on straight? Does my
skirt show? Why isn't my name
;here?'' were some of the questions
"No, sir" she said, "you don't
think I'm going down there and vote
looking like this. Not in this dress
no, sir.s
NOW, look here, John" she walled
you aren't going to vote without me
You just wait. I'll be ready this af.
ternoon sometime"
"I've done IT," shouted one Of the
ancient ones to another one who was
tardy. "That reminds me- said thu
tardy one. "I've got to hurry"
