 While ticket brokers, and some others familiar with the situation, states Mir. Savage as preface to out lining his plan. "claim that the public does not object to patronizing agen- cies and paying an advance of 50 cents ticket for the privilege oi buying choice locations. yet my owr belief is that the public does resent being constantly told at theater box offices that there are no seats nearer than the fourteenth row, even weeks in advance. Our present plan, which goes into effect this morning at the opening of the seat sale for The Clinging Vine, is to have good, front seats on sale at the box office at all times, if the public will buy in ad- vance.

The gay Christmas carol is found principally in the British isles. Be- fore the island people were Christian ized they had mid-winter festival called Yule which was a season of merrymaking. When Christianity was established instead of attempting to suppress the carols, their use was encouraged with the new religious in- depreciation of Christmas. Occasion ally the old pagan songs were pre- served in their original form.
 Such one is Deck the Hall" It comes from Wales, the land of hearty singing and vividly pictures the house. hold preparation for the feast. At midnight of Christmas eve the Yule log, decorated with all kinds of de- vices and garnished with evergreen was brought in with a procession of lights, banners and songs and placed in the middle of the room. Each one present was supposed to sit on it and sing a Yule song.
