ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS TREE
History Of the YuIetide Emblem Ex-
tends Far Into the Mists of
Antiquity

AIW HE history of Christmas tree
SN usage extends far into the
~ mists of antiquity. Some
say its origin is connected
with the legendary Tree Of
Time, Ygdrasil, the great tree of Morse
mythology, within whose roots and
branches heaven and earth are bound
Some say the custom may be traced to
the Egyptians who, at the time of the
winter sOlstice, decorated their portals
with branches of the date palm.
To Scandinavian legend may per-
haps be traced our custom of illum-
mating the tree when darkness comes.
Among the Greeks, Christmas is known
as the feast of lights.
To people of different localities to-
day the term Christmas tree may mean
fir, spruce, pine, cedar or even mag
nolia, for each particular region makes
use of the most suitable species that is
to be found near it's markets. In the
vicinity of the midwest, a short-needle
pine found in Michigan and Wiscon-
sin may be used. On the Pacific coast
the white fir finds favor, while through
out Ohio, the Norway spruce is largely
used. In Maryland and Virginia, the
scrub pine and farther south cedar
and holly. Best of all is the SYM
metrfcal balsam fir, each tiny leaf of
which sends out breath of aromatic
fragrance.

CARD GAMES AT CHRISTMAS
Thin Pasteboards Afforded Means Of
Entertainment In England During
Yuletide Season.

UNIVERSAL Christmas Gus
"a tom Of England in olden
times was playing at cards.
Persons who never touched
card at any other season
Of the year felt bound to play q few
games at Christmas.
A prohibitory statute Of Henry WIS
reign forbade card playing save during
the Christmas holidays. OF course this
prohibition extended only to persons Of
humble rank.
Sir Roger De Coverley took care to
provide both creature comfort and
amusement for his neighbors at Christ
mas by sending "a string of hogs pud-
dings and a pack of cards" to every
poor family in the parish.
Even the pulpit comes in for it's
share of anecdotes regarding playing
cards. Fuller gives an example of
clergyman preaching from Romans
1913, LAS God hath dealt to every
man the measure of faith" The rever-
end gentleman in question adopted as
an illustration Of his discourse the
metaphor of dealing as applied to
cards, reminding his congregation that
they should follow suit, ever play
above board, improve the gifts dealt
out to them, take care of their
trumps, play promptly when it came
their turn, etc.
Short notes were frequently written
on the backs of playing cards. In an
old collection of poetry is found the
following lines:
'To Lady Who Sent Her Compli-
ments to a Clergyman on the Ten of
Hearts.
|'Your compliments, dear lady, pray
forbear,

to do with its selection. 1t is there because
Miss Teasdale believes that some boy or

for his collection an Introduction that tells

Christmas. For the same little folk there
is The Elves of Mount Fern" by Rather
inc Creighton Dorrance), known for her
nature stories. Elves and flowers and in
sects and birds play their different parts
in the quaint little book that holds five
different stories. A still smaller book is a
ballad arrangement of the famous old
yarn of Jack the Giant Killer" by Reg
inald Wright Kaufman (Henry Altemus),
where in rollicking stanZas we are told of
the various exploits of the intrepid Jack.
And for each stanza there is a full page

and the book is full of fun and laughter
and the most amazing adventures.
For little children and for little half
hours that call for amusement is this next
book, "The Pinafore Pocket Story Book"
(Dutton). Miriam Clark Potter tells them
as she told them once to her own children
and again for the readers of the New
York Evening Post. There are poems, lots
of pictures, and the whole book is a SYM

lots of thrills and fun. The pictures are
by Dorothy Hope Smith. For smaller chill
dren there is ''The Little Childs Book

Eleanor L. Skinner (Duffield), who have
gone to many authors and to folk and
legend for the tales they give and the
pretty songs they sprinkle through the
pages. 1t is enough to say that the pic

Another collection Of plays from nursery
tale sources is The Cat and Fiddle Book

Mrs. Herbert Richmond. The eight play

lively and amusing.
Half dozen or so books striking the
religious note come next. There is Amy
Lefeuvre's "The Most Wonderful Story"
(RevelD. a life of Christ written for small
children, told in a narrative form, simply
and with dignity and tenderness "The
Boy Jesus and His Companions" by Refus

dren. The stories are told with full
sense of their dramatic value and the au-
thor gives plenty of background by paint

toms of the Biblical era. He has long
since made a name for himself with this
type of work Bible Stories in Bible
Language" by Lorinda Munson Bryant
(Appleton) is exactly what the title indi-
Gates. The stories are all from the Old
Testament and have been chosen for their
representative and dramatic value, for
their sheer interest as human documents
told in a magnificent manner. Since il
appears to be impossible to send children
any longer to the Bible itself, nothing
could be better than book like this, which
adds and subtracts nothing from the orig
inal story. The book is illustrated by
number of reproductions of world famous
pictures. The King James Version is the
one which has been used Another book
