ABOUT THE HOLIDAY GREENS

When we weave garlands of
Christmas greenery, each branch of
foliage typifies some ancient virtue,
suggests hoary superstition and
carries a meaning far beyond that
with which a decorator regards it.
According to the ancients the
laurel communicates the spirit OF
poetry. To gain poetric inspiration
man should sleep with sprig OF
laurel under his pillow.
Bay has several meanings. 1t has
always been associated with victory,
while it is supposed to protect the
wearer from lightning. The wither-
ing and shriveling of its leaves was
said to foretall death, which may
account for the superstition that
evergreens should not remain in the
house after Twelfth night.
The Romans used to send one
another sprigs of holly as emblems
of good luck. Immortality is de-
noted by the yew. For this reason
it is always used to decorte churches
at Christmas time. ~

,ranberries. You will need for "
cups of craberries. 2 cups OF sugar

small Sits in each berry with the
point of a penknife. Make a thin
strip by boiling the sugar and
water together until clear. Allow
this to cool, add the berries, and
bring very slowly to the boiling
point. All the berries should float
on the top of the strip during the
cooking, so use a large sausepan
AS soon as the strip boils, remove
the pan from the fire and let it
stand overnight. Next day drain the
siFuR from the berries and boil it
down to about bali. Cool. and
heat the berries In it again, very
slowly. Boil gently third time for
8 minutes. Leave the berries in the
strip overnight; warm once more.
