Candles and
Yu1e Log

~ HRISTMAS gifts were common
VI in Medieval times. Accounts
tell Of the chambers guild send
ing out gratis to everyone a special
sort of big, fiat candles which were
burned with the Yule log to light
the houses for the coming of a super
natural Christmas visitor. The bak-
ers also sent out "Yule cakes" or
"Yule babies," which were little i'm
ages of Christ. This custom, in fact,
seems to be even older, it being re-
corded on the old Roman calendars
that on the Vigil of the Nativity little
images Of the Christ Child were made
in great numbers and presented to
the fathers in the Vatican.
Gradually the sentiment of "Peace
on earth, good will to men" and the
celebration of the spirit by general
gifts seems to have spread through
the other guilds, and finally to have
become general.
In England today there is a survival
Of the ancient custom practiced by
landowners Of setting big sacks of
grain or other products outside the
gate that whoever came might help
himself. 1t Is said that an extra
Christmas eve feed is also still given
to the cattle

cheaply that will hold the Christ
mas tree firmly in position.
The simplest of these consists of q
crosspiece of wood raised little from
the floor by wooden supports and hav-
ing a hole in the center to insert the
trunk of the tree.
More elaborate ones take the form
of wooden square, painted bright
red and surrounded by low wooden
railing.
Country dwelers who cannot pur-
chase these trees at the corner store,
but have to cut them in the nearest
wood lot, must devise some other way
of holding the Christmas tree in posi-
tion.
The easiest way to do this, if the
tree is not too large and heavy, is to
insert the trunk into the hole through
the bottom of a wooden box, and
either paint this box green or red or
cover it with green or red paper.
A starch box will hold up small
tree perfectly, but somewhat larger
box must be chosen for one of larger
growth. If, in spite of all precautions,
the tree seems too heavy and is in
clined to wobble, weight the box on
either side with heavy stones. Some
times the box IS filed with sand, the
trunk planted in that, and then the
wooden cover nailed in place to make
all very solid.
If one has any talent for carpentry,
even of the toughest sort, an effective
support can be made by mailing two
pieces of wood in the shape Of
square cross, holding the tree upon
this and mailing cleats to both tree
and support until it stands firmly.
A very pretty effect can be obtained
by covering the support Of the tree
and the floor directly around it with
white cotton batting on which silver
tinsel, called rain" in most shops, has
been sprinkled. This makes the tree
look as If It were growing in a bunch
of snow glittering in the sun.
