DiStributing the Gifts

R DING to the post-offlce Is a jolly VD method of distribution. Paste
 board and brown paper, aided by judicious grouping of chairs and tables, easily transform room into a post-office, and wisely selected postmaster may make the collection of mail an occasion of much merri- ment. Have general delivery and lock boxes, and at the general delivery window see that each person Is properly identified.
 A Christmas hunt Is always excit- ing. The clue, given at the breakfast table is written on slip of paper in some such words as these: Pass the parlor, shun the hall, seek the summer kitchen wall" In that vicinity the gift will be found, wrapped and addressed It adds to the fun if the directions lead first to other rhymes, three or four being followed up before the hidden treasure is found.
 The cobweb party is not new, but is always good sport and is especially adapted to Christmas festivities. The tangled threads may lead to the laden tree or to the bulging stocking hang Ing from the mantel-shelf.
 Still another hunt takes the form of polar expedition and is great sport in the country when there is snow enough for It. Immediately after breakfast the entire party sets out for walk. When they turn toward home, the host or someone selected as guide informs them that supplies are hidden along the way in various caches and they will do well to look out for them Each cache is merely a mound of snow covering lightly a quantity of gift packages, securely wrapped. There need be only three or four mounds and the gifts should be divided promiseuously among them. If the walk has been long, the first cache to be found-that is. the one farthest from home-may hide box of cook les which will be hailed joyfu1ly and will make the gifts In the next cache an even greater surprise.
 The last cache to be reached may be the centerpiece on the dining table Here 1t should be of cotton glittering with diamond dust, with the pole ris- ing from the middle of 1t, a fat, squatty pole with jolly Santa Claus atop.
 Small gifts may he concealed in a Jack Horner pie, brought to the table when dinner Is finished. Choose a deep. round pan of size to fit the number of the party and put into 1t the presents. each daintily wrapped and marked with the name of the one to receive It.

OhrtHtntaH TpHt1ual

TT HE INSTITUTION of the festival Vk of the birth of the Savior Is
 attributed by some authorities to Pope Phosphorus. who died A. D. 13s.
 In the early days of the Christian religion it was one of the most nov able of feasts, being often con founded with the Epiphany and cele- brated by the eastern churches In April and May In the Fourth century the urgency of St. Cyril of Jerusalem obtained from Pope Julius l. an order for an investigation to be made concerning the day of Ghrist's nativity. The result of the inquiry made by theologians of the East and the West, was an agreement upon the twenty-ffth of December
 As told in the gospel of St. Luke, Christ was born in the night There fore, divine service is performed on the night of December 24-25. It is the custom in Roman Catholic churches to usher in Christmas day by the celebration of three masses, one at midnight, the second at early dawn, and the third in the morning. This custom dates from the sixth century.

Christmas Games

(ff1 ISTLETOE. Hang it up. Form YIA a circle. A slipper is required.
 Also a nice, slippery floor. The first player slides the slipper. He tries to land 1t under the mistletoe If he fails another makes the attempt. If he succeeds there is a lively scramble. It concerns the young lady toward whom the slipper points. She must seize 1t and get away before caught. Then the guests are given humorous gifts (preyiously wrapped) and are admitted Gone at time) to the Christ mas room to deposit them in the stockings.
 Another jolly game is played with Christmas stockings. q number of which are previously hung up.
 These are placed in Il separate room and the name of the person for whom each is intended is concealed upon it..
 Another Christmas stocking game calls for huge stocking Of tough tis- sue paper filled with toys of all kinds, Each guest is blindfolGed. given a light rod or cane. turned three times around and told to hit the bag The first to break the stocking gives the signal for general scramble each guest being supposed to get one of the trinkets or souvenirs thus scattered.
