Christmas Superstitions
in Homes Of Our Allie,

| HEl .@i|E OF the new world and
| BEDSElQlH the modern customs are al
| NC&MS8J)H ways deeply interested In
| H&$M4zEH any quaint beliefs or I'M
eGSSvS9f usual mannerisms of the
countries across the ocean.
Particularly have the habits of Eng
land and France held us; the former
because she is our mother country, the
latter because of the unquenchable
dear memory of Lafayette, and more
recently because of that same spirit so
gloriously upheld today by Frances
noble sons. And this holiday time
finds us with our eyes turned thither-
ward for more poignant reason-for
there aren't many homes who cannot
claim father, son or brother "over
there"
And 1t Is well to know some of the
nomeiy, sweet little superstitions
which prevail among the people Of our
allies.
In England and in Scotland the say
ing goes that it is unlucky for anybody
out brunette to first cross the thresh-
old on Christmas morning.
To bake bread on Christmas day is
praiseworthy, and loaves baked then
will never grow moldy. In these times
OF scarcity of flour, the poor loaves do
not stand half chance to moldl
Woe to the housewife who on this
day turns mattress. 1t bodies i'll luck
for the whole year.
A superstition which had its origin
In Devonshire tells us that it is bad
form and i'll luck indeed not to wish
the bees good morning and the compli-
ments of the season. On Christmas eve
the hives are decorated with springs
of green and bit of red ribbon. TITS
also said that bees sing all night ON
Christmas eve. But bees are rather
perpetual singers, anyway.
The graceful traditions prevail, in
northern England and Wales, that the
birds and beasts have some mystic
connection with the Nativity. Hence,
the farmers and landowners purchase
sheayes of oats from little boys who
sell them as our boys sell holly. These
bundles are placed in convenient high
places in trees and fences, that the
birds may partake. The cattle, sheep,
goats, and even the pigs, are all given
double the amount of feelings on
Christmas morning.
In Lyons, France, at the Founding
hospital, very pretty custom is to
welcome the first baby that arrives
with special honors-a beribboned
cradle, padded basket, soft clothing,
solicitude and a bestowal of gifts, and
careful attention. This is done in ex-
piation of the poor welcome given to a
Wee Child of Bethlehem 20 centuries
ago, and beautiful thought it is.
In some provinces in France it is
considered bad luck to cross strange
threshold on Christmas day.

"But who are your? cried the shoe
maker to all these visions.
Then the little child pointed to the
Bible on the table. and his rosy finger
showed the old man this PASSAGE:

Wherever there IS sickness
May Santa Claus bring health;
Wherever there is poverty
May Santa Clar bring wealth.
Wherever one : weeping
May tear to smiles give way,
Wherever sadness hovers
May JOY come Christmas day.
To every heart that's aching
May peace and comfort come.
And may an outlook rosy
Supplant each outlook glum.
May friends now separated
Soon reunited be,
And every one find gladness
Upon his Christmas tree.
