CHRISTMAS WEEK IN ENGLAND
Time When Scattered Families Are
United and Tender Memories
Are Revived.

MANY and great are the changes
lV1 which have occurred in England
since Dickens wrote "a Christmas
Carol" but they have not affected the
national love for the festival and the
determination to preserve unimpaireC
the traditional warmth and heartiness
OF its celebration. Christmas week Is
still the great week OF the year for
the English people. 1t is the one week
when scattered families are reunited,
when tender memories and old asso-
Citations are revived, when friend greets
friend with CHEEKY responsiveness in
striking contrast with the character
istic reserve of the English nature,
so. undemonstrative to those who do
not know 1t well, apparently so dis
tant and unsympathetic.
From Wednesday all business will
be suspended. not to be resumed till
Monday morning. The whole nation
will give itself up to good cheer and
good fellowship, and for brief season,
all strife and controversy are hushed.
and peace, charity and concord reign
supreme.

An Ancient Christmas Dish.

An indispensable Christmas dish of
ancient times was ''frumenty" OF
"frumante." Here is the recipe for
making the dish according to a faith
ful old chronicler: take clean wheat
and bray It In mortar until the bulls
be all gone of, and seethe 1t until It
burst, and take 1t up and let 1t cool ;
and take clean, fresh broth and sweet
milk Of almonds or sweet milk of kline
and temper 1t all; and take the yolks
OF eggs. Boil it little and set 1t
down and mess II forth with fat veni-
son or fresh mutton" Frumenty was
often served alone without venison or
mutton. When served by itself it was
well sweetened.
