Christmas at Bracebridge Hall

seated in his hereditary elbowchair
by the hospitable fireside of his an
cestors and locking around him like
the sun of a system, beaming warmth
and gladness to every heart The
old Squire adhered to the custom OF
having his own MINISTRIES and so mu-
sic was soon had for the dancing.
Master Simon and the two other
sons of the Squire, one an OXonian
the other an officer, were the chief
merry makers, especially with their
dances and the bit of romance be.
tween the young officer and Julia, 4
preaay ward of the old gentleman.
At last the party broke up for the
night with the old custom of shaking
hands and Irving was conducted to
his chamber, in an antiquated part of
the manor
Irving was wakened the next morn
ing, which was Christmas, by the
sound of little feet pattering outside
of the door and a whispering consul
tation. Presently a choir OF small
voices chanted forth an old Christmas
carol. the burden of which was;
Rejoice, our Saviour he was born
On Christmas day in the morning"
He rose and dressed quickly and
opening the door suddenly he "beheld
one of the most beautiful little fairy
groups that a painter could imagine.
1t consisted of boy and two girls.
the eldest not more than six, and
lovely as seraphs. They were going
the rounds of the house singing at
every chamber Irving's sudden
appearance frightened them into
mute bashfulness. They remained
for a moment playing on their lips
with their fingers and now and then
stealing u shy glance from under
their eyebrows, until as is by one i'm
pulse, they scampered away, and as
they turned an angle of the gallery
he heard them laughing in triumph at
their escape"
Irving was soon called by a servant
to join the family in prayers, serv-
ice that was followed by the singing
of carols. After the service break
fast was announced. A little later in
the morning Irving went about the
grounds but presently he heard the
toll CT the village bell which called
the community to church.
1t is to he remembered that some
centuries ago the celebration OF
Christmas became so uproarious and
bacchanalian that it lost its sacred
aspect and with the advent of the
Puritans in political power. Christmas
as a holiday became taboo and re-
manned until the restoration Of
Charles the Second. This period of
history was fraught with political and
religious controversy but in Irvings
day the controversies were of the past

wing and Charles Dickens are much
alike in their appreciation and love
Tor old English customs, particularly
holiday customs. We all remember
the Christmas cheer in the Christmas

Dickens portrays so wildly that we

Our own writer, Irving, born when
George Washington became our first
PRESIDENT gives us his own keen de
light jim Christmas celebrations. To
express it in his own words he says
There is nothing in England that ex-
ercises a more delightful spell over
my imagination than the lingerings
Of the holiday customs and rural
games CT former times"
With this feeling he has given us
memorable description of his exper-
fence at Bracebridge Hall.
1t will be remembered that he was
travelling in England during the win
ter and making a tour in Yorkshire
by stage-coach on the day before
Christmas. Arriving at an inn he
CHANGED to meet Frank Bracebridge,
young gentleman with whom he
had once journeyed in Europe.
BraceLridge promptly invited Irving
TO his ancestral home few miles dis
tant where his father would keep
Christmas in "old fashioned style"

the main road which gave it every
opportunity to be secluded and aloof
from the more progressive spirit OF
the cities. Bracebridge's father be
ing u representative of the oldest
family in the neighborhood, and u
great part of the peasantry being his
tenants,--is much looked to and, in
general, was known simply by the
&ppellation of The Squire; a title
which had been accorded to the head
of the family since time immemor'ial.'
AS Irving and his friend came near
the Hall the sound of music and
dancing greeted them from the serv-
ants end of the building where a
great deal of revelry was permitted"
So joyous was the mirth that young
Bracebridge had to ring repeatedly
before gaining entrance. AS soon as
they were announced, the elder
Squire came forward and greeted
them warmly and they were ushered
