MIRACLE OF THE THORN STAFF

1t is one of the prettiest legends
of ancient sBritaifl-the old Christmas
story OF the thorn of Glastonbury
William of Malmesbury, the chronic
| ler, told it hundreds of years ago ir
his Antiques of Glastonbury" 1t is
repeated often at Christmas time in
| England,
f.. The legend tells how Joseph OF Ari
lmathea, was SO prosecuted by ,Pontius
| PLATE, because he had laid away the
body of Christ in his sepulcher, that
he fled to Gaul, carrying with him I'M
der q cloth of mystical white samite,
the Holy Grail. In Gaul he found the
Apostle Philip, preaching. to the
heathen, and he rested with him a
flew days. zs..4e. 80 ~ :
One night radiant light awakened
him, and an angel babe him go to
Britain and preach the glad tidings to
King Arvigatrus; and, where a Christ
mas, miracle should come to pass,
there to build a church.
He and band of followers fol

and Arvigatrus gave them the Isle OF
Avalon, and babe them erect an altar
there to- the new God. II. WAS "a beau
tiful gift The tiny isle lay warm liz
a verdant valley. Sparkling waves
softly Tapped its shore. Soft breezes
played in it's trees, and nowhere was
the Sky so blue: as over Avalon.
When they reached the top of the
hill called Weary All, Joseph planted
his thorn staff he had carried with
him on his long journeys over land
and sea, deep into the ground, and
10! it took root, and immediately
there blossomed a bush of beautiful
white, flowers. = s,g3l.
This is where we will build our
church, the good man said, and So,
ut Glastonbury Abbey-for. so Avalon
is known today-the thorn bushes
bloom white at each Christmas time,
lend their fragrance to the frosty air,
| and remind all who see them of the
Christmas miracle.

MOTHERS CHRISTMAS.

You can talk about your Christmas
in the gay and festive town,
With its crowds of Christmas strolfers
- promenading up and down.
With it's lavish decorations and its
music sung and played,
But the Christmas to my notion was

AS to mothers bread and 'doughnuts,
shall simply pass them by,
Not a word about her cookies or her
golden pumpkin pie;
Not line about her buildings or her
Jams or marmalade ..>
But a volume: in the praises Of the
ChIistmaseS she made.
Oh, the presents, they were simple
and devoid of tinsel bright,
And were fashioned by her fingers
while we calmly slept at night;
And the stories that she told US were
as true as true could be-
Cause she heard her mother tell them
Christmastimes' the same as We.
Oh, the PLACE where, mother fitted
leaving others in the shade,
Was the genuine seldfash Toned, bang

CHRISTMAS, AT BETHLEHEM.


three kings are riding down this way,
From the gold East they are
one young, one swarth, one wise and
gray,
Led hither by star.
. where are We bound, We good seig-
neurs,
And whom seek we,
With all your gold and ivory wares
Most beautiful to see?
They said: The King of kings is
born!"
Noel! Noel! give praise this morn!
Then down there came three shep-
herd wights
With their shoon in their hands,
SuCn lads as herd the sheep by nights
In hilly pasture lands.
o where are We bound, ye shepherd
folk.
And whom seek We?
They said The angels songs awoke
The earth and heaven to see,
For 10. the King of the poor is born. "
Noel! Noel! give praise this morni
Then past the moon and past the sky,
Three angels hurried on,
Singing their anthems, clear and high,
With faces like the dawn.
AID where are we going, celestial
ones,
And whom seek ye%
With Gloria, Gloria!" rang their
tones,
20 come and you shall see,
f'or 10! the King Of heaven is born"
Noel. Noel! give praise, this morn
And in the desolate stable place,
Whereto we hurried all,
There were two oxen and an ass
That knelt beside a stall,
Wherein a little Baby slept,
Half hidden in the hay.
The beasts their patient watching
kept
Their mild eyes seemed to say:
'The King Of all living things is
born"
Noel! Noel, give praise this morn!
His Mothers arms were over Him,
Her face was to His face;
One staTveling rushlight fiickered dim
About the shadowy place
No purple draped the roof and wall.
The SHOWS blew everywhere;
No timbrel raised its voice at all,
Nor lutte nor harp player;
Noel! Noel! give praise this morn,
Then one by one the strange kings
went, :.> as-a..
And gave their gifts from afar;
The amber, and the gold, and scent,
Ivory, and cinnabar
And then the shepherd lads drew
near, ~.
One gave from out his smock
A little lambkin, warm and dear,
The youngling of the flock.
Sing on THE King Of the young is
born!"
Noel! Noel! give praise this morn,
And there the blessed Joseph was,
Tending his helpless spouse;
. The Child upon the sweet dried grass
Had glories round His brow.
And then, the awe was grown so
great.
lay upon the earth,
And heard far off at heavens gate
The angels sing His birth,
With Peace! the King of the world
is born"
Noel! Noel! give praise this morn.
On high there is a quivering star,
Shot through with white and rose;
1t draws all hearts from near and far
To go the way it goes 49,
Come travel to this lowly stall,
And lay before His feet
Your gold and gems, your life and all,
And yet no Offering meet
For Him the King whom the world
doth scorn,
Noel! Noel! give praise this morn.

TIFFANY POUNDS
SCHOOL OF ART
Turns Over Estate and Cold
Springs Harbor Collections
To Foundation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-Announce-
nent was made yesterday that Louis
Comfort Tiffany has turned over his
estate and collections at Cold Spring
Harbor. together with an endowment
Of more than a million dollars for the
foundation OF an Institution where
artists and art students of profes-
sional maturity may pursue studies
and original work under the most
favorable conditions. The institution
will be known as the Louis Comfort
Tiffany Foundation.
Work has already been started TO
convert the buildings on the estate
into studios and dormitories and II IS
expected that the first dozen students,
all men. may Re installed in May.
In addition to the founder the fol-
lowing will constitute the board of
trustees: Robert W. de Forest, Daniel
Chester French, Francis c. Jones,
George r. Kunz, Henry W. de Forest
and Charles L Tiffany, with George
l.. Heydt as secretary and treasurer.
An advisory art committee has been
appointed with Cass Gilbert, Robert
vonnah, Harry W. Waltrous and Mrs.
W. A w. Stewart as members.
Lsthrop To Be Director.
Stanley Lothrop, formerly with the
Boston Museum and more recently
lecturer in fine arts in the American
Academy in Rome. has been appoint-
ed director OF the foundation and is
already established at Laurelton Hall,
the name OF Mr.. Tiffany's place at
Cold Spring Harbor.
The foundation Of this institution is
understood to be the consummation OF
q long cherished dream OF Mr.. Tiffany.
He has worked in almost all the arts
himself. being a painter and sculptor
OF skill and a designer of costumes,
textiles and interior decorations as
well as the inventor and developer of
the famous Tiffany glass. His collec-
tions at Cold Spring Harbor contain
The Washington times., 1919-10-20

no great classic originals, but cover
perhaps the widest field of any col
lection in this country. embracing well
chosen examples in both the fine and
applied arts. Oriental as well as Occi-
dental.
Though all Of Mr.. TifTany's trustees
and the art advisory committee indi-
cate that the academic tradition will
pervade the atmosphere at Cold Spring
Harbor. Mr.. Tiffany has made IL very
plain that he is not founding a school
of dogma, but a place where men, and
later women, of promise and know
ledge may work out their own ideas
in both the fine and the Industrial arts.
Founder Explains
my intention" Mr.. Tiffany said, "is
to provide a place where artists who
have had elementary training and who
show real ability, can work in sympa-
thetic and inspiring surroundings.
There will, of course, be necessary
rules which must be observed, but
there will be no head master to pre-
scribe cast iron methods of teaching
to which iall must conform Ny hope
is by stimulating love Of beauty and
Imagination to give free play TO de-
velopment without the trammels or
schools or conventions"
The estate comprises eighty acres.
For the present it is planned TO oper-
ate the institution only in the summer.
AS the facilities are improved, how
ever, il is stated that women students
will be admitted and that the institu-
ton may be kept open the year round.
Mr.. Tintany's art library which he
has also turned over Is one of the
largest and best selected in New
York. He will continue to live on the
place, but will not attempt to direct
its work. 1t is understood that a
small fee will be charged for the
living expenses OF students. but that
in certain worthy cases even this will
be remitted.
