the earliest use of mistletoe. That
interesting plant was held in rever-
ence by those arch-pagans, the
Druids, who used 1t In their cere-
monies, where 1t was an integral
part Of their religion.
And for that matter, to be very
precise about these matters, did you
realize the mistletoe hung on the
chandelier is really only available as
an excuse for kissing the ladies SO
long as its little white berries last?
One berry must be removed for each
kiss-and when they are all gone
you understand perfectly, I am sure.
But let us return to candles. A
single candle lighted and placed in
window all by itself on Christmas
Eve Is to commemorate the Star Of
the. East, which led the wisemen to
where the young child lay. This
pretty custom has been particularly
celebrated in the last few years.
Let us 60 back to our forefather's
time, the day when the candle was
held in its greatest esteem, when It
was In fact the only light they had.

everywhere else candles were the
points of light for all.
Tallow candles were in general use
at first, and after while bayberry
candles were discovered, and became
very popular. Bayberry wax af-
forded better substance than tallow
for making candles, in that they did
not melt In hot weather, nor give
OF an unpleasant odor when lighted.
In fact, just after the flame had been
extinguished such candle would
give out an agreeable fragrance
which fact has recommended it even
UNI. now as gift Of unusual charm.
In fact, 80 important did the manu-
facture Of bayberry candles become

Candies and Christmas are now
20 closely associated In the COM
munity mind that they seem prac-
tically inseparable, and no wonder
1t is, for the association of the two
dates back to the earliest record Of
the celebration. AS for candles, they
are even more aged then Christmas
itself, for use at festivals. The Ro-
mans, before there was any Christ
mas, used them extensively for lights
and as gifts In their mid-winter
Saturnalia, q festevity which was the
forerunner of our pleasant holiday.

celebrations, you mustn't be too

KREISLER'S
 TRANSCENDENT PLAYING

Without exception critic and lay man alike Crown Fritz Kreisler, "king of violinists,'' and scarcely ever is there a dissenting note from the critics as to his technique his phrasing, his in- depreciation and his successful playing When MT. Kreisler gave his second concert of this season in Carnegie hall, New York city, one of the critics wrote as follows about his marvellous playing:
 Fritz Kreisler, in his seconod recital of the season. in Carnegie hall, on the afternoon of December 5, played to a sold-out house. The programme, ex- auisite in tone was illuminated by the transcendent playing of the master artist, and by the lighter numbers he injected as encores.
 With the able assistance of Carl Lamson at the piano, the Caesar Franck Sonata, which opened the pro- gramme, was an impeccable bit of playing. especially the third move- ment. The Bach Sonata in G Minor. for violin alone was a model of classi- cal repose and the very difficult fugue was splendidly given. The violinists own romance brought storms of ap- plause, and La Chasse, by Cartier cleverly played, was well received
