BY L. w. DAVIDSON.

THE practice of Christmas decoration
is one of great antiquity, and is
ascribed by various writers to various
sources. As far back as the fifteenth
century we read in Slows "Survay Of
London:
1T was the custom at Christmas time
for every mans home, and also the
parish churches, to be decked with
holm, ivy, bays and, whatsoever the
season of the year afforded to be green.
| The standards in the street we're gar
| nished. Sprigs of holly and yew stuck
into holes in high pews in the churches
made them into miniature forests"
In England the practice of decora-
ton at Christmas time, wherever de-
rived, has existed from earliest days.
The green's appear to have been the
holly, laurel, ivy, rosemary and mistle-
toe. There Is also mention of box, fir
and pine. The greatest number of
these appear to have been so used, not
on account Of any mystic meanings
supposed to reside therein, but simply
for the sake of their green leaves and
rich berries
Among a few, however, there was
real significance. The rosemary, with
its rich fragrance, emblematic of f1del-
ity and constancy, was supposed to
possess occult virtues. It was also be-
lieved to have power to relieve head
aches and mental weariness, to
strengthen memory and make touching
appeals to the heart. It was used on
occasions of rejoicing as we'll as of
mourning. Perhaps from that source
first came the phrase Rosemary for
remembrance"
Holly, with its beautiful scarlet berry,
has its own place In superstitious an
mails. Among certain peoples have been
found traces of their belief in its sacred
ness. 1t Is also said to have been used
for divinationS. In preparing for this
it was important that nine leaves should
be used, tied with nine knots into a
handkerchief and put under the pillow
of the person who desired prophetic
dreams. Always the smooth leaves
without prickles were used. Old folk
lore tales tell how holly was hated by
the witches. Not perhaps due to any
pre- Christian Sanctity attached to it,
but to the association of its thorns and
blood-red berries with the passion-an
| association to which it is said to owe
| its Danish name of Kristdorn.
In certain parts of England holly
that has adorned churches at the
Christmas season was much esteemed
and cherished. A small branch with
berries was supposed to bring the pos
SCISSOR lucky year.
| There are many species of holly In
all parts OF the world. In some part.

Decorations of Ancient Origin

of Europe it thrives in abundance.
While it grows on low bushes, holly
trees have been known to attain a
height Of so or 70 feet. 1t will grow in
almost any soil not wet, but fourishes
best in dry, sandy loan.
OF quite different character Is the
miStletoe-the mystic miStletoe, with
its privilege of kissing the one caught
Hereunder. 1t is difficult to tell just
exactly the origin of kissing under the
| mistletoe, but it dates far back. One
of the early traditions was that the
maid who was not kissed under the mis-
tletoe at Christmas times would not be
married before the next Christmas sea-
son came around. Each young man
as he caught and kissed the girl would
pluck one Of the pearly berries from of
the bough, which he presented to her
as talisman of good luck for the en-
suing year. When the last berry had
been taken the privilege of kissing
ceased.
The mistletoe was deemed sacred
among the Druids, a religious order
of ancients comprised of bards, proph-
cts and priests. Their ceremony in
collecting it for the festival of the
Winter Solstice was one of high So
lemnity. With golden sickle the mis-
himself White-robed, he climbed the
oak Ohe only tree on which the mistle-
toe grew which was held Sacred) and
cut the branches. AS they fell they
were caught in white cloth, and two
white bulls were sacrificed with prayer
The mistletoe is also associated with
Teutonic myth and Celtic ritual In
Scandinavian mythology a story Is told
in which the .istletoe takes a very
prominent part. Balder. favorite of
the gods, son of Odin, King of Deities
as we'll as god of war, and of Frigga,
goddess of the sky, was slain by con-
trivance of the evil Loki. Balder's
mother had taken an oath from every
creature, and even from every mani
mate object, that they would not harm
her son, but she omitted the mistletoe,
Balder was therefore deemed invulner-
able, and the other gods in sport flung
stones and shot arrows at him, but
always without harming him. The evil
Loki, god Of mischief, adroit and cum
ming, able to transform himself into
innumerable shapes, fashioned an arrow
from mistletoe and got Hothr, the
blind brother Of Balder, to shoot It.
Loki himself guiding it, Ralder fell
dead, pierced to the heart. But he
was restored to life, and the mistletoe
was given to the goddess of love to
keep always, so that every one who
passed under it, receiving a kiss, would
| have proof that it was an emblem of
! love- not of death. -eeg @--e
