AN OLD CHRISTMAS CUSTOM
Village Boys in North England Re-
produce Play That Is as Old
as the Race.

ATTN THE North OF England
MSH some Of the oldest of our
wI Christmas customs are still
faithfully observed. One Of
the quaintest is that of the
village boys who call themselves "The
Mummers." AT Christmas time they
perform little play that is as old
as the English race.
There are three chief characters
st. George, resplendent In silver-pa.
pered armOr, and brandishing a
wooden sword; BeelZebub, who is, of
course, the famous dragon; and the
Doctor, who wears battered tOp-hat.
AT the beginning Of the play it is
announced that the countryside is be.
ing laid waste by Beelzebub. Various
minor characters make an appeal for
deliverance from the monsters sway,
Then st. George bursts upon the scene.
A fierce battle rakes place, in which
he slays Beelzebub, but is himself
badly wounded. At this point the Doc
tor rushes In with a bottle, which he
places to the saints lips.
"Tak SOON o nah niff-naff dahn
thy tiff-taff," he prescribes. SO George
drinks and Is cured.
Some of the words used in the play
are so old that neither the boys nor
the majority of the audience can un-
derstand them.
