After the meeting one-time Amer
lean "wobblie" came up to ask about
certain well known figures in the
|. w. w. of his day-Ettor, Giovanitti.
'Gurley-Flynn and Haywood. He was
astounded at the tactics of the lin.
junctionites" and gloried in the
creation of the Committee for r. T..
U. Afiliation." The armed struggles
of 1918 and 1923 shoulder to shoulder
with the Communists in the very
forefront OF the fight had drawn him
INTO the ranks of the party and he
left with the wish that similar ex-
perience might be granted all his Am.
erican comrades, and with similar
result.
Following the reports the confer.
ence took up detailed discussion Of
past work and new tasks. A hopeful
militant spirit pervaded the whole
delegation and its 1000 visitors. and
outside on the streets parade of
"Black-White-Red" patriots gave point
to the statement that the war was
still on in full force. ~

His birthday. Nowadays Frenchman
wishing anyone MERRY Christmas"
says, "Joyeux Noel !"
Now the title. 1.-THE First NOVEL;"
Of the English Christmas Carol, from
which quotation has been made in the
foregoing, throws a sidelight on his
tory. This carol lis, probably more than
500 years old, although it did not ap-
pear in print until 1888. The Norman
conquest of England was responsible
for the "Noel'' in its title. And this
in turn was changed to NOVEL;" to
make It look English and to insure its
pronunciation in two syllables.
silent Night" is probably one Of
the most popular of all the Christmas
Carols. It seems to have been first
published in Leipsic as "Tyrolean
Song" Before that it had been in
the repertoire of family of strolling
Tyrolean players. Its origin was then
unknown and 1t was said to be old.
In time 1t was credited to Michael
Haydn. A few years ago Ludwig Erik
made thorough investigation and re-
ported that "Silent Night" was written
and composed in 1918 at Oberndorf,
Germany; that Joseph Mohr, assistant
priest, wrote the words; that Franz
Gruber, a schoolmaster, wrote the
music. According to Erik, the carol
was produced Christmas Eve in the
church. the poet. tenor, singing the
melody, and the composer singing
bass. A chorus of young women sang
the refrain. The church organ was
out Of repair and the accompaniment
was played on guitar.
"God Rest You Merry Gentlemen"
Is believed to date back to the Seven
teenth Century. 1t certainly is as
familiar to the English-speaking world
as any. One version has the first line.
God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen"-
one does not know whether or not the
use of the comma is authorized.
1t win be noted that the Christmas
Carols in general have a common char
acteristic-which is especially promi-
nent among the older ones: They are
set to pleasing and not difficult music;
they are simple in form and pic
turesque; they are often childlike in
their naivete. In short. they are real
bits of folklore.
Yet men famous in the world of
letters have not disdained to try their
hands at the Christmas Carol. For
example, 10 little Town of Bethle-
hem." deseryedly popular, was writ
ten by the Boston divine. Phillips
Brooks. 1t was intended for Sunday
schools only. Several composers have
written music for it. These include
Joseph Barnaby, the Englishman, and
Louis II. Redner, the American.

MARRIAGE AND REFORM
BY THOMAS ARkLE CLARK

nROWN and l were rather closely
- associated the year before he was
married. Our work brought us into
contact nearly every day, and he took
occasion to pour out his feelings to
me as we walked along together.
He had his faults. and some of
these he recognized and commented
on. He was childishly optimistic. OF
course, optimism is an admirable
quality and one which constantly en-
courage. / see good deal of youth.
and youth is constantly and quite
wisely given to looking upon the bright
side of things. Brown, however. over
did the matter. He was always sure
that his salary, which in no case
varied, would next month pay twice
as many bills as he had been able with
1t this month to liquidate. In conse-
quence, if he saw something in shop
window, or If book agent came along
and urged him to buy the latest edi-
ton Of the Encyclopedia Britannica,
Or IL he had q chance to subscribe to
the relief Of soldiers and sailors
orphans, hey promptly obligated him
self and bought the stuff or made the
subscription. He was, as a result, con-
stantly upon the financial rocks,
though just as constantly hopeful that
the incoming tide of next months
salary would raise him up and permit
him to drift off.
His optimism invariably made him
late to an engagement. He knew
exactly how far it was from his lodg-
ing place to the Baptist church upon
which he was a faithful attendant and
he was well aware, too, how long 1t
took him to cover the distance. He
never got there upon time, however.
for he always figured that this time
1t would not take so long.
He was always making obligations
that he found it impossible to keep,
always burdened with debts which he
could not meet, always late to his
appointments or missing them entire
". He had other faults, too. with
which he struggled. but he looked for
ward hopefully and optimistically to
his coming marriage, quite sure that
this new obligation would help him
to meet the old.
Things are going to be different
with me next year." he would say
cheerfully after relating to me his
last optimistic blunder.

"Has she no faults?"
II suppose So"
"Quite likely, and the trouble will
be that it will be about all she can
manage to correct her own without
giving much time to yours" He
sighed, but when he left me he was
still optimistic.

Lords of Misrule" of England was a
leftover from the Roman Saturnalia
The Christmas Carol goes back u
long way into early English life. The
first printed collection came in 1921
from the press of Wynkin de Worde

London to be assistant to Caxton.
whom he succeeded in 1891. 1t is inter
esting to know that a fragment of this
edition is still extant and contains the
famous "Boar's Head Carol" which
is still sung on Christmas Day in
Queens College, Oxford-whether the
serving of the boar's head on silver
platter in the big dining hall still OBJ
tains, one is not prepared to say. III
the old days the serving of the boar's
head, with much pomp and ceremony
and minstrelsy and song was the
feature of the Christmas feast in the
homes of the wealthy and great. The
authentic wording of this carol is as
follows:
The boar's head In hand bear I,
Bedeckd with bays and rosemary;
And pray you, my masters. be merry,
Quot estis in convivio,
Caput april defero,
Reddens laudes Domino.
The boar's head, as / understand,
Is the rarest dish in all this land
Which thus bedeck'd with gay garland
Let us servire cantico

In Reginensi Atrio,

At the time Wynkin de Worde pub
lished the first collection of Christmas
Carols in 1921 carol-singing was uni
versal practice in England. In 1925,
when Henry VIII lay i'll. there was an
edict specifically prohibiting carols,
bells or merry-making." In 1925 a
license was issued to Thomas Trysdale
to print, "Certayne goodly Carowles to
be songe to the Glory of God"
The Puritans endeavored to put a
stop to carol-singing and practically
succeeded. Parliament, it will be re-
membered, ordered the abolition of
Christmas Day and to show that 1t
had been abolished sat in session
December %, 1652-"commonly called
Christmas Day."
But Christmas day came back with
the Restoration-ands so did the Christ
mas Carol. In 1861 appeared volume
with the title, 'The New Carols for
the Merry Time of Christmas, to Sun
dry Pleasant Tunes"
In France also the Christmas Carol
is very old. The French word for the
Christmas Carol is Noel. The Breton
word is "Koroll," which means dance
