Chickens Supply Millinery.

No one can reasonably make objec
ton to the present fashion of wearing
feathers on the feminine head cover
ing, for no matter how brilliant they
may be, they originate in the barn
yard In former days many of the
feathers worn by women represented
ruthless slaughter Of useful and beau
tiful birds, but such a sentiment was
worked no in opposition to this that
feathers went entirely out of fashion
Now, however these millinery decora-
tons originate with the bsrnyard fowls
which have also decorated the dining
table. Many ingenious processes have
been devised for securing the brilliant
effect called for, and nc birds have been
sacrificed merely to supply the feathers
for miladys hat.

Christmas Is Traced
Back To AnCientS

While each country has its indivi-
dual manner of celebrating, the
dominant spirit is one of goodwill
and hospit ability, and sits ale
usual.
"Knecht R~uprecht" is the Ger
man equivalent Of Santa Claus and
"krlstine" is the scandinavian.
Spice and fruit cake are considered
especially important in Germany
and Italy. in Russia and Germany
the Christmas tree is the center of
festivities. In Italy medieval plas-
ter toys delight the children and
the Spanish children receive color
ed clay models Of the Christ Child
in the manager. Latin church cerc-
monies are observed in Spain. In
Russia regular work is often stop.
ped a whole month by laborers.
On Christmas Eve the peasants
sing carols beneath the noblemen's
windows for coins. Later they mas
querade as animals in memory of
the birth in a stable. In Holland
at the midnight hour men meet in
the principal square of the town
chanting "Gloria in Excelsis." At
forwards a supper is served begin
ming Christmas Day. In Norway
the people exchange calls and good
wishes serving refreshments to all
corners In Scandinavia it is the
custom to take a bath on the af-
ternoon of Christmas Eve, often
the only thorough bath of the year,
and the Yule-log is of special i'm
portance. Candles are kept in the
windows in Austria 50 that the
Christ Child may not stumble
while passing through the streets.
In South Austria there is no
Christmas Day celebration but a
church festival on the Eve of St.
Nicholas Day which is the TWEEN
tv-fourth.

Salisbury Merchants Are
Ready For Holiday Rush

away for things that you can OBJ
tain just as cheaply from local
merchants. Yet many people do
it, probably through habit but
more often through thoughtless-
ness.
Now that the holiday season is
here we may all expect to receive
unsolicited boxes of greeting cards,
neckties, stockings, and 80 forth,
from some institution or indivi-
dual which we may keep rather
than go to the trouble of wrap
ping and returning. Money spent
in these ways does not help local
business at all. 1t does not in any
way benefit our community.
On the other hand, local store
keepers can with this same money
make donations to charity, hire ex-
ira help, improve their stocks and
premises, and help raise the stand
ard of our business sections. If the
money is kept at home it benefits
us and our community.
This year, of all years, is the time
to make the dollar go farther. We
can be assured of this if we spend
it with our own store in our own
local neighborhood.

This remarkable stimulant is
perfectly harmless. 1t is, in fact, a
family doctors prescription. So, if

1t Is Probably The Only World
Holida)-Seasou Of Goodwill
By Alice Gordon Bell

By Alice Gordon Bell
Christmas, rather the celebration
of mid-winter-the top of the year
probably had an origin but the
origin is further back in time than
the memory or research of man has
yet reached. 1t was observed as a
time of festlvity by the ancient
Egyptians, Teutonic barbarhns,
pagan Greece and Rome. Our own
holly and mistletoe are but a sur
vival OF ancient Druidicial wor-
ship. These plants were venerated
by the Druids because they grew in
the oak groves in which their rites
were held. The custom of CAROL
ing on Christmas probably harks
back to the time when Roman
children sang hymns at the time of
the Saturnalia, festival of Saturn,
a sort of harvest-home held in
Rome at the same time of year we
celebrate Christmas.
The Christmas banquet is remin-
lscent of feasts in honor of ancient
gods and goddesses. The idea of
the Child-God was foretold by
sibyls and seers, and by the infant
gods of the Greeks, Egyptians,
Hindus and Buddhists. Nobody
knows anything definite about the
origin of the festival-or even if
December twenty-hfth is the right
anniversary Of Christ's nativity.
The Christians looked upon cele-
brations of birthdays as heath
enish. For twelve years in the
18th century England discounten~
anced observance of Christmas and
in the early Puritan days of Amer
lea a person who celebrated was
liable to arrest and punishment,
because exhibitions of gaiety and
happiness were considered sinful.
Only World Holiday
Today, though, Christmas is
probably the only world holiday.

becoming more popular. The DOM
inant spirit is charity and the chief
interest the church devotional SER
vices. In Southern France it is
customary to bless the Christmas
log and offer prayers for the I'M
fortunate while it burns. Noels are
chanted after dinner until mid
night mass. The Christmas feast
lasts three days. Christmas is a
fete in Paris. There are festive
midnight suppers on Christmas
Eve. Latin quarter students Of
ten go dinnerless for a month be-
fore or after because of celebrating
in a too expensive restaurants. in
Peru a midnight mass is observed
.on Christmas Eve and a religious
procession of priests, monks, Sold
iers and costumed people is held on
Christmas night. Bull fighting is
an important event of the day. In
Mexico the "Pastores," called the
Mexican passion play, is presented.
The Christmas celebration lasts a
week and is marked by brutal
sports, gambling and revels. In
South America on 'Noche
Buena" GOOD Night) trade is live
ly till long after midnight. Color
ed people in fantastic DISCUSSES
parade chanting accompaniments
to catanets and guitars followed by
Indian women with streaming
black hair playing flutes or harps.
Christmas In Summer
In Australia the Summer season
is at its height. Roast beef and
plum pudding are served. The
streets and houses are decorated
with palm branches, ferns and mis-
tletoe. In the Philippines Christ
mas bells ring over the islands for
hours. The churches are decorat-
ed with palms and flowers, and
wreaths of flowers are carried by
the singing children to the church,
es in a parade led by bands, floats
and banners. The afternoon and
evening is devoted to dancing and
music.
In Bethlehem the customary
quiet is greatly disturbed the day
before Christmas by the arrival of
strangers. The services begin
Christmas Eve in the Church of
the Nativity. When the convent
bell strikes the hour of midnight
there is great rejoicing.
America dumps into her famous
melting pot the silver, gold and
dress of the customs of all the
other countries and celebrates
Christmas in almost airy, or every
way. The general family holiday,
though, very much resembles the
German one.

Men, women, and children who

at once thus prominently the com
munication below, expressing at
the same time our great gratihca-
ton that its faithful author is
numbered among the friends of
The Sun:
Dear Editor-I am s years old.
Some of my little friends say there

Please tell me the truth; is there a

virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected
by the scepticism of a scepticsl
age. They do not believe excpet
what they see. They think that
roti,ing can be which is not COM
%prehensible by their little minds.
"All minds, Virginia, whether
they be mems or children's, are
little. In this great universe of
our man is a mere insect, an ant,
in his intellect, as compared with
the boundless world about him, as
measured by the intelligence capa-
bic of grasping the whole of truth
and knowledge.
Eyes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly IS
love and generosity ard devotion
exist, and you know they abound
and give to our life its highest
beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary
would be the world if there were no
Santa Claus! 1t would be as dreary
as if there were no Virginias, There
would be no childlike faith then,
no poetry, no romance, to make
tolerable this existence. We should
have no enjoyment, except in sense
and sight. The eternal light with
which childhood fills the world
would be extinguished.
mot believe in Santa Cluas?
You might as we'll not believe in
fairies! You might get your papa
to hire men to watch in all the
chimneys on Christmas Eve to
catch Santa Claus, but even if
they did not see Santa Claus COM
ing down, what would that prove?
Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that
is no sign there is no Santa Claus.
1.-THE most real things in the
world are those that neither child
rem nor men can see. Did you ever
see fairies on the lawn? Of course
not, but that's no proof that they
are not there. Nobody can con-
ceive or imagine all he wonders
there are unseen and unseeable in
the world.
'You may tear apart the baby's
rattle and see what makes the noise
inside, but there is a veil covering
the unseen world which not the
strongest man, nor even the united
strength of all the strongest men
that ever lived, could teal apart.
Only faith, fancy, poetry, love ro-
nance, can push aside that curtain
and view and picture the supernat-
ural beauty and glory beyond. Is it
all real? All, Virginia, in all this
world there is nothing else real and
abiding.
mo Santa Claus! Thank God!
he lives, and he lives forever. A
thousand years from now, Virginia,
nay, ten times ten thousand years
from now, he will continue to

Stretching Dollars
The problem of making a dollar
60 farther is more important than
ever this year. People are looking
beyond mere cheapness and search
ing for real dollar values. This i.
not only necessary, it is praise
worthy. 1t is cultivating thrift,
which is a desirable characteristic
in a citizen, a community, and i'll
a nation.
One aspect of the question i,
sometimes overlooked. That IS,
that we should not only buy wisely
but where it will do the most good.
Nobody doubts that it is good for
the community and good for the
citizen to purchase at home. Pat

cally sound.

same, there is no ms in going
