day are conscious of Its sa-
cred character: They know of course
that 1t stands for the anniversary of
the birth of the Founder Of the Chris
tian religion, but that thought il not
uppermost in their minds. To such,
for the moment, II is merely a holiday
In which they wish to give gifts to per-
sons they care for and whom they wish
to please. 1t is period in which they
forget themselves In order to give Joy
to others.
In this one thing. though they may
not be aware of 1t, they demonstrate
the teaching of the One whose day
they observe, for unselfish thought for
others is one of the great lessons
taught by the Teacher Of teachers who
was born in Bethlehem of Judea CEN
turtles ago. There are Christmas givers
today who make no sacrifice when they
purchase rich gifts for family or
friends; they know no self-denial,
though 1t does not follow that they do
not give all their hearts But with the
great mass of givers there is setting
aside of personal wishes and even ur-
gent needs in order that those they
love may be glad on that day of the
year when all the Christian world re-
joices. The self-sacrifice is as nothing
compared to the end to be attained.
On the other hand, multitude of
men and women are spiritually aware
Of the character of the day They look
back across the centuries to the Child
in the manger and see in 1t the dawn
of new hope to mankind, revela-
ton of new life, bond between NOR
tai existence and the hereafter that
has given comfort to myriads and a
light to the world that grows brighter
with the passing of the ages. The gifts
that they bestow and those they re-
ceive typify to them the greatest of all
gifts to the world-the One who came
TO point the way to eternal life.
No, Christmas for all its seeming
frivolity and thoughtlessness is not a
mere holiday like others Even the
light-minded and needless ones realize
difference, and If pushed TO explain
would do so reverently. Under all the
hurry and confusion and gayety of the
preparations and the celebration the
significance of Christmas is not lost.

CANDLES OF sAYsERRY WAX
Important and Decorative Yuistide
Accessory May Be Made f.--
With Little Effort.

@@7AYBERRY candles for the
n Isl Yuletide season were the
H. pride of colonial DANES.
Then they went out COM
a pletely and no one ever
heard of home made bayberry candles
until few years ago saw revival OF
the art, when one found them again In
arts and crafts shops. writes Helen
Harrison In the New York Post. Anna
teurs began to experiment. and they
learned that candle making Ii not
difficult art. -
One amateur experimenter found
that brass or copper kettles used Tor
melting wax made the gray-green OF
bayberry wax much greener.
The Old-fashiOned candle dip meth
cd Is simple, or one can construct
molds of heavy paper II regular forms
are 70. available.
One quart measure OF berries VIII
make mediumsized candle. The old
fashioned candle molds are large and
require about two qurats Of berries
for one candle.
The berries should be covered with
water and set over the fire to melt
off the wax coating. AS twigs and
leaves get in with the berries, it is
necessary to strain the wax through
sieve at first. After the first strain
ing the wax should be reheated and
then strained again through coarse
cheesecloth.
When ready to mold, fasten lengths
of candlewick through each mold,
knotting the wick at the mold's point
and tying the other end around stick
that will rest across the top Of the
mold.
Heating the wax again, fill in each
mold. making sure that the wick Is
taut To remove from mold without
cracking, warm 1t slightly in hot wa
ter before slipping the candle from
each form.
Heavy paper can be sewed or pasted
into mold forms and bottom glued
to each, leaving a small hole In the
center of the bottom, through which
the wick can be slipped and knotted.
II is a slower process, but satisfactory
as a makeshift.
To make candle dips fasten two or
three pieces of wick TO a stick and
far enough apart to prevent touching
but not too far to extend beyond the
sides of the kettle holding the wax.
Dip into hot wax repeatedly, as each
coat chills, until desired size has been
obtained.

SPIRIT OR SOUL OF THE OAK
Sturdy Tree, Looked Upon by
0ruids as Holy Thing.

OFT HE mistletoe season draws
II near. Many boughs or
~ pendants of this mysterious
i and beautiful plant will be
torn from oaks and other
trees and suspended from chandeliers
and doors.
Many myths are associated with
the mistletoe. The Druids of Britain
looked upon 1t as a holy thing. To
them the oak tree had a strong relIg
ious significance and seeing the curl
Gus plant growing out of the oak they
conceived that 1t was the spirit or
the soul Of that tree. In this way
1t is believed that the Druids came to
regard the mistletoe as the symbol of
life and they therefore treated 1t with
manifest reverence and gave 1t a
prominent place in their religious
rites. II is also believed that the Dru.
ids held the mistletoe MS sacred to
Fraya, the goddess of love. and that
this Is how 1t came to be associated
with love-making and kissing.
The old herbalists, the forerunners
II the physician, regarded the mistle
AVV ao "a NAihS NihS iclhdi theE-
apeutic properties. 1t was held to be
good for epilepsy and for various con-
vulsive "distempers." Many of our
British md our Irish ancestors be-
lieved that the mistletoe was charm
against disease.
The mistletoe is n plant parasite
and yet not altogether a parasite
Though II would rather live or of the
tree, 1t was the means of self.support
It fastens itself upon Its host, pene-
trates Its tissue and draws nourish-
ment from II, often deforming 1t and
sapping its vitality. Yet the mistletoe
Is a green. leafy plant: that is. 1t pos
sesses the green pigment, chlorophyll,
which gives the green color to normal
vegetation. The presence of green
leaves indicates that the mistletoe has
the power. which Independent green
plants everywhere possess. of con-
structing organic foodstuffs, such as
starch, out of Inorganic compounds,
carbon dioxide and water. utilizing
sunlight as the source of energy in
the process. 1t Is, therefore, only
partly q parasite SO far as dependence
upon Its host for food Is concerned.
but II IL none the less harmful on that
account.
