The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-04-22

News that the Waltham Watch Co,
has decided to close its branch in Green
field recalls the efforts that were made
three or four years ago to get this con-
Germ to locate in Rrattleboro. At that
time it was believed that the policy of
the company would be to establish
branches in various communities and de-
vclop them into pcrmanency. but the
closing of the Greenfield branch is taken
to mean that the idea has been aban-
doned Under the circumstances it is
probably just as well that the concern
did not come here, for it is much less
disappointing to fail to land a new in

Christmas Games

an ISTLETOE. Hang 1t up. Form
IT'LL 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.
1t 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 previously wrapped), and are
admitted Zone at time) to the Christ
mas room to deposit them In the
stockings.
Another jolly game is played with
Christmas stockings, a number of
which are previously hung up.
These are placed in a 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 It's
sue paper filed with toys of all kinds.
Each guest is blindfolded, 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 a general scramble, each
guest being supposed to get one of the
trinkets or souvenirs thus scattered.

FESTIVITIES OF OLD TIMES
Lord of Misrule Was important Func-
tionary at Yuetide Celebrations
of the Long Ago.

~ HE Lord of Misrule was an impor-
" tant functionary at the Christmas
festivities of those long-ago
times. An account of this important
parsonage has been preserved by the
historian and antiquary, John Stow,
who lived during the reign of Queen
Elizabeth and during the first year Of
the reign of King Charles l, and was,
therefore, a contemporary of Shake
Speare.
in the feast of Christmas" writes
Stow, there was in the kings house,
wherever he lodged, Lord of Misrule
or Master of Merry Deports, and the
like had We in the house of every no.
bleman of honor or good worship,
were he spiritual or temporal. The
mayor of London, and either of the
sheriffs, had their several Lords Of
Msrule."
At Cambridge university the Lord Of
Misrule was a master of art, elected
to superintend the representation
OF Latin plays by the students, besides
taking charge of their games and d.
versions during the Christmas season.
similar Master of Revels was chosen
at Oxford
In the Inns Of Courts in London.
where the barristers had their offices
and belongings, a Lord of Misrule
reigned with great splendor, being
surrounded with all the parade and
ceremony of royalty, his guard of hon.
or, and even his two chaplins who
preached before him in the Temple
church"
On the Twelfth day he abdicated his
sovereignty, and we are informed that
in the year 1885, this mock representa-
tive Of royalty expended In the exer-
else of his Office about two thousand
pounds from his own purse, and at
the conclusion of his reign was
knighted by King Charles / at White
hail.

that night, her mother said to her
What are you going to say, In
your prayer tonight, about that poor
little blind boy you saw to-day?'
So Hilda asked God about him.
The very next day she took the lit
tie blind boy a big orange.
IT was now Ruth's turn.
"once asked a little girl If that
was her sister," said Ruth. THE lit.
tie girl said: at amt sister. It's a
baby"
One of the other boys now had a
story to tell.
"Once | saw a cyclone come around
the corner of street" he said. "a
man had tent there with lot of
dolls In It. The man wanted to sell
the dolls, but the cyclone took the tent
right up into the sky, with all the dolls
in It,
another man asked him: what are
you making such fuss about2
Weren't your dolls for sail?' and
everybody laughed except the doll
man."
The Old Folks were having such a
good time listening to The stories that
they thought the children ought 10
have a good time, too, SO they took
all their presents that had come off
the tree and gave them to the little
folks who had come in.
Every boy and every girl had toy
and box of candy--Lucy, Peter,
Billy Mary. Sally, Hilda, and the
others.
Then, all the young Old Folks and
all the children marched around the
dining room singing.
They sang merry, Merry Christ
mas" and SO the fun ended
But l guess it didn't quite end then,
either. For as the young Young

brother Harry looked when he did
that. So Billy thought he wouldn't,
and he didn't.
Mary told about the songs she sang
to her doll
She said that the song that her doll
liked the best was:
The little dog went to the market town
With one foot up. and one foot down:
But when he came TO a muddy place
He jumped cle-e-e-an Overt
Mary said that she always jumped

most as long as the night before
Christmas but she did remember
a ride she once had on little donkey.
She said they had to send the old
donkey on ahead 10 make the little
donkey hurry.
Then she remembered about the cats
at her grandmG's house. There was s
big cat for the big mice, ard little
cat for the little mice
Hilda told g story aboug little blind

When she said her evening PRAYER

an alarm clock. Its bell was ringing
like everything. This was to wake the
Old Folks up.
First, he called the roll, to see If
they were all up and awake. Then,
he began to pick the presents off the
tree.
Soon the room was gay with dolls,
horns and jumping jacks.
A doll was riding in her carriage,
squeaklng and rising up every few feet
as she rode along.
There was a talking doll, too. She
sang and talked when they pushed the
buttons on her dress.
There were hot dolls for cold nights
and cups and balls for the Old Folks
to play with when they could not
sleep.
The Old Folks all played with their
presents. They blew on their horns,
and amused themselves with the jump
ing jacks. and sent the moving toys
running about the room all at once
But, after all, the Old Folks thought
it wasn't so very much fun because
there were no real children there SO
they sent out to see if they could find
some.
They found Lucy, Peter Billy Mary
Sally, Hilda, Ruth and some other
children who all came to see the
Old Folks Christmas tree.
Lucy told the Old Folks the story
about her dog Trump.
Trump was tramp dog, but he
could do some tricks. He loved to be
dressed up in a blanFet, with a belt
Then. with o beribboned straw hat
on his head, he would walk across
the room upon his hind legs.
After Lucy came Peter.
Peter said that he did not know any
stories, but once he carried the flag
for the big boys baseball team, and
they let him go in to see the base
ball game, free.
Then Billy told a story
He said that once he sat up all
night waiting for Santa Claus to come
and fill his stocking. That is, he
tried to sit up all night; but Santa
Claus didn't come and so he fell asleep
in the dark. The next day the doctor
came to see him. The doctor told him
he had had "stockingitis."
Billy said, too, that when he woke
up in the early morning and found
that Santa Claus had forgotten to fill
his stocking, he was going to throw
himself on the floor and pound his
heels on 1t and boiler. But then he
happened to remember how ugly his

Besides, the young Old Folks have
been talking about their "Old Folks
