Why Food, Drink Taste
Is Affected by Vessel

Why meat tastes different when
eaten with a fish knife, and why
water tastes different when drunk
from a cup instead of glass has
simple explanation, according to
writer in Pearson's London Weekly.
Most people when drinking liq-
uid are under the impression that
they only taste the liquid. This is
wrong. They are tasting the COM
bined flavor of the liquid and the
vessel from which they are drink
ing. China, glass, tin, pewter and
composition drinking vessels all
have distinct flavor of their own,
which is impaired to whatever liq-
uid is drunk from them. Thus a
liquid would vary in taste according
to the composition of the vessel.
The difference in the taste of fish
when eaten with ordinary cutlery
and with a fish knife and fork is
accounted for in the same way.
There are two distinct flavors-
that of the fish and that supplied
by the utensils we are using-and
the latter varies according to the
metals of which they are composed.

ing her a gayly-wrapped package,
and taking her in his arms. Betty
Jane drew back. She wasn't sure
she liked this Bill so well-he
seemed so sure of himself. She re-
membered Bill as humble, wooing
for her favors.
"Come, say hello to the folks"
Betty Jane invited, "and see the
tree and smell turkey"
They went, hand in hand. 81 sup

"Well, there's just one I'm really

the fellows think she's swell. Her
pictures on my dresser, and when
ever I'm in doubt, l talk things over
with her"
Elbow grand" said Betty Jane in
a tight little voice. They came to
the mistletoe. How different from
last year, when she was just learn
ing to love him!
81 have her picture on my watch,
too" Bill went on, his eyes twink
ling brighter than the silver star
atop the tree.
"You used to carry mine there"
Betty Jane observed, and managed
somehow to laugh lightly.
"And still do" said Bill, exhibit
ing it. GAIL the fellows are jealous
of the girl I left behind me. There
isn't a girl in all the world, let alone
college, like you, Betty Jane. And

pretty girl should always stop when
she comes to mistletoe?"-Helen

Journey to Bethlehem
Not Like Today's Travel

A CCUSTOMED to our swift and
~ modern transportation, it is
difficult to visualize the hard
ships of that journey from Nazareth
to Bethlehem, or the great fatigue
and WEAKNESS suffered by Mary and
Joseph. CONSERVATION filled their
hearts at the decree of Caesar; yet
there was nothing to do but obey
the summons. They must make the
long, tiresome journey and at
once!"
No shining motor car waited out
side their gate; no silver-winged
plane stood throbbing in a nearby
field; not even the meanest ox-cart
was available. While others rode
by in gorgeous caravans, patient
little donkey was their only means
of transportation. We can imagine
the tall and bearded Joseph leading
the animal along, glancing back ev-
cry now and then with words of
cheer and encouragement for Mary,
or pointing out some landmark
along the way.
Behind them now was the Sea of
Galilee and Mt. Tabor. Through
the plain of Estraleon they labored;
then came the rough and uneven
trail through Samaria, where even
the sure-footed donkey stumbled at
times. To the west, the Jordan ran
it's course, to empty farther south
into the Dead sea. Along their way
they passed many places whose
names would be known and revered
around the world in the dim future
Did Mary have vision as
she went by that one day the Son
whom she was about to bear would
go up and down this country preach
ing new Gospel of love and peace
and hope for man, and that His
birth would be held in happy and
blessed remembrance by all the
peoples of the earth until time would
be no more?-Katherine Edelman.

"'The Cooky Lady" and
Tins Christmas Letter

DATSY liked to take her doll out
lin the sunny kitchen and watch
i Ann, the cook, roll out the
cooky dough and cut round moons;
then put them in a long pan ready
for the oven. When they came out
all smelly and warm Ann would put
some on a paper plate for Patsy
to eat. Ann had the incest dimples
when she smiled, and Patsy would
smile right back at her and say:
"Thank, you, Cooky lady"
Sometimes there were brown
cookies and fruity ones, too, but the
red and green candied ones that
Ann made for Christmas were the
very best of all. Patsy adored Ann.
Through the seven short years OF
her life she had been her constant
companion. Mother was just the
lovely lady who was always busy
with her clubs and going places,
and Daddy was too busy at the of
flee to be bothered much; but there
was always Ann.
Patsy liked the nice postman,
Tim, who came to see Ann and
sometimes they all went to the
movies together. Tim could play
"pretend" almost as good as Ann.
But once she heard him call Ann
his best girl, and say: "Some day
you're going to cook for me-" After
that she did not like him so well.
Things seemed all wrong, and Santa
hadn't answered her letter, and it
was only two days till Christmas.
She had said:"Please write soon"
and that had been days ago. He
must help quick, or it would be too
late. Several times day she would
go to the mailbox and stand on tip
toe to look in for fear her letter had
been overlooked.
"Here, Tim," said one of the of
flee clerks, sis another of the kid
letters to Santa Claus; guess this
ones up to you" Printed in
childish scrawl on the envelope, Tim
read: "Santa Claus, care of Tim"
He drew out the folded pape'. 1t
read: "Dear Santa, please bring
Tim another best girl cause Ann has
to cook for u.s."
"Your friend, Patsy Reynolds"
Tim stared, then chuckled: "San.
ia, old boy, you're up against it
this time" -Jocile Webb Pearson.

Why Russia Sent Warships Here

In the spring of 1868 a fleet of
Russian war vessels was stationed
in New York harbor and another
at San Francisco, where they re-
manned for many months. The adj
miral of the fleet at New York, be-
ing asked why he was here, an
swered that he did not know, that
his orders were sealed and were
not to be broken, except in a GER
tain contingency which had not oc-
CURED. 1t was afterward learned
at st. Petersburg that the orders
were, that in case of war between
the United States and England or
France, the Russian fleets were to
report to the President for duty.
Various motives for the action of
Russia are given, the most plausible
of which is that the Crimean war
had left with her bitterness toward
France and England.

Christmas Poinsettias
Popular Holiday Plant
.HE brilliant street lights of a
large city were Pickering into

TIME brilliant street lights of
large city were Pickering into
n the coy front apartment of
the Mallory sisters. They were sit
ting alone on Christmas eve enjoy
ing their snow white tree cleaning
under it's burden of blue electric
bulbs in true modern fashion.
ooh, DEAR" sighed Lois, doesn't
Christmas always remind you of
poinsettias?"
"Sure does" replied her sister,
wistfully. "How could we ever for
get them? Remember how mother
used to send us out in the sleigh to
deliver those scarlet beauties to our
friends, every Christmas? Those
were the good old days!"
Wasn't it fun, though? can
just see the dear old home simply
loaded down with the Christmas
stars as we used to call them"
At this very moment several
blocks down the street the telephone
was ringing profusely in one of the
busiest florist shops on the avenue.
An order was being placed for the
largest and very best poinsettia
plant in stock. It was to be deliv-
cred to the Misses Lois and Mae
Mallory, on Rugby street.
Just fifteen minutes later the door
bell at this residence rang and
messenger delivered the gift beauti-
fully wrapped and tied in Christmas
colors.
ooh, Lois, come quickl" shouted
Mae. "a gift from the home town.
What can it be?"
"Why, it's a pot of poinsettias-
one mass of crimson stars! Who
could have sent it?"
When they discovered the card, it
was more puzzling than ever, for
the only inscription upon it was,
"Poinsettias For Christmas" -

CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS
IF YOUR Christmas tree is

IF YOUR Christmas tree is a
L balsam-and that is the love-
Hest kind of all, both for appear
ance and for fragrance-then
when you first light it a cheerful
old superstition urges a glance at
your shadow on the WALTZ you
dare. Should it appear headless
you will not live to see another
Christmas. Their, later, when the
tree is burned, another tradition
suggests keeping a partly burned
stick to ward off lightning.

First Christmas Carol
When Christ Was Born

@HRISTMAS is the time when
men are drawn together in a
~ great unity. Much of this may
be attributed to our response to IA
miliar songs, sung year after year
to commemorate the advent of
little Child on earth. The first
Christmas carol ever heard, we like
to believe, came over the fields of
Bethlehem, when Christ was born
"Glory be to God on high, and on
earth, peace, good will toward
men,"
But it was 1900 years later that
st. Francis of Assist and his broth
ers took up the singing in public of
carols at Christmas to combat the
unbelief Of their time. With lighted
tapers they went about the streets of
the small Italian village pouring out
their hearts in songs of praise. In
the 800 years since then the singing
of Christmas carols has gone around
the world. Wherever Christianity is
known carol singing follows.
The simple vision of a mother
1ulling her babe to sleep gives
Christmas music its strength. Some
sing as tribute to their religious
faith, others as a custom they en-
joy. But whatever the reason, the
important thing is that more and
more people do it. From such wide
ly different sources as churches,
theaters, schools, clubs, radio sta
tons, come the words of away in
a Manager" "Silent Night, "Jov to
the World" Little Town of Bethle-
hem," "Hark the Herald Angels
Sing" and "Come All Ye Faithful, :"
sung by soloists, choirs, choruses or
the voices of school children. So
each year new joy is expressed
through old channels. - Frances
Grinstead.

AS Little Santa Claus
Canary Was a Success

MYTH Christmas so near and
wv no money for gift for
w Media Langley, his sweet
heart and inspiration for compos-
ing, and now this cold rainy day,
Carl Woods felt very low spirited.
Then he saw the little bird out
side the window. He opened the
window-the bird flew in and
perched on the piano where it
seemed quite at home. Standing by
the piano wondering what to do with
his visitor, Carl let his fingers wan
der over the keys. "Tweet tweet,"
the bird said and then began to sing
Justify. Intensely interested, Carl
continued playing and as long as he
played the bird sang.
Suddenly realizing he was playing
something he had never heard be-
fore, Carl began making note OF
what he had been playing. Growing
chilled, he arose to close the win
dow he had left open. To his sur
prise, the bird was gone, nor could
it be found in the room. He couldn't
remember when he had last heard
it singing. Where could it be?
Looking across thu court of the
apartment building he noticed in the
window opposite, a bird cage, and
a canary was hopping around on the
window sill. Although the window
was closed now, it must have been
open earlier and the bird had taken
advantage of its freedom.
Whether it was the same bird
that had visited Carl, he and Media
always felt it was and called it
"Little Santa Claus" for it had
brought happiness and prosperity,
for Carls composition was accepted
and an advance payment made
