IN MERRIE ENGLAND

The English Christmas is not unlike
ours, save that we do not have their
pretty custom Of bringing in the
yule." In almost every family in Eng
land the boys and girls gather about
the burning log on Christmas Eve to
sing carols and tell Christmas legends.
Often the children who live in the
country assist at the dragging in Of
the huge log. An English child would
not feel that it was Christmas If there
were not bit Of mistletoe hanging in
the hall, under which the unwary are
kissed soundly. Little and big eat the
rich and blazing plum pudding, and all
join in the singing Of Christmas carols
and churchgoing.

must make all possible haste back
