Mince Pies We're Symbolic
OF Magii's Visit to Manger

The Christmas mince pie had a
Christian symbolism in the begin
ming. The pies represented the gold,
frankincense and myrrh brought by
the Three Wise Men to the manger;
the crust symbolized the gold, and
the mixture of spices the franklin
Ems and myrrh. Originally the
pies were made oblong and followed
the shape of the manger.
There was a superstition that
there was no luck in store for the
lar OF woman who did not eat a
mince pie at Christmas. To eat one,
it was believed, was to be sure of
having at least one happy month.
To enjoy a year of happiness, a per-
son had to eat one pie on each of
the twelve days after Christmas.

Mary nodded and the woman hur-
ried away.
Mary selected an especially nice
doll the next morning and laid il
carefully beneath the counter. Then
she watched, between spurts of last
minute shoppers, for the timid old
lady. At noon the doll still rested
beneath the counter. At six it was
still unclaimed. When Mary sold
her last remaining doll a few mo-
ments before nine, she reached for
the hidden one.

Serving of Bears Head
One of Old YuLe Customs

Of the customs that grew up
around the Christmas festival in
Merrie England, the serving of the
boar's head was one of the most stir
ring. 1t endures to this day at
Queens college, Oxford, where the
50-pound tusked head-a lemon in its
grinning jaws-is borne in on a great
silver dish, escorted by trumpeters
and candle bearers. 1t is served up
with a wonderous flourish of music
and mustard at the high table where
sit the dons.
In the olden days there was an APP
propriate chant, half carol and half
ritual, that the gentlemen used to
below at the moment the dish
touched the board:
Then set doton the suineyard,
The foe to the vineyard,
Let Bacchus croion his fall.
Let this boar's head and mustard
Stand for pig, goose and custard,
And so ye are Welcome all.

Nj ARY'S feet throbbed. Her
knees wanted to buckle be-
meath the weight of her slim young
body.
Fifteen minutes more!"
She saw Mr.. Adams, the cross
looking floorwalker, frowning in her
direction and she fastened to tidy
her counter. Clerking in the five
and ten, she decided, wasn't such a
bad job-eXcept during the Christ
mas rush.
A shabbily dressed old woman
stood across the aisle looking visit
fully at a display of curly-haired
dolls on Mary's counter. The faded
blue eyes were making an effort
to read the price tag.
May l help you, madam" Mary
asked. The woman looked up guilt
lily, then her fingers fumbled nerv-
ously at her shabby black purse.
"I-ah-I-no, 1 don't guess So"
The woman turned and almost a
from the store. At the door, how
ever, she turned and slowly re-
traced her steps to the counter.
"How much for that yellow-haired
doll, miss?"
"Twenty-nine cents. Shall 1 wrap
it in our gift pack? That will be
ten cents extra"
"N-no, I'll come back later. Not
tonight, please"
As Mary nodded her head the
woman's shoulders seemed to sag
lower, and she trudged slowly to-
ward the door.
Mary's thoughts kept returning to
the wizened old lady as her tired
feet dragged through a long Wednes-
day and a longer Thursday. AS she
left the store Thursday night she
was almost happy, rejecting that
there would be but one more day
of the Christmas rush.
A timid hand clutched at her arm.
Mary recognized her near-customer
of the preceding week, and smiled
encouragingly.

"jlTTERBUG5".H
 COMING FEATURE
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy form a perfect team both on and eff the screen. In fact the boys write most of their own material Stan is usually the creative side of the team while Ollie does the edit ing.
 l. Ideas leap like popcorn from roaster when Stan starts per colating. Then Ollie selects the most promising gags and incor- porates them into the scripts.
 In fact there is never a dull moment when the two comedians are working on a picture. Not even the director knows what the two slap happy comics will pull when the camera starts turning, as they seldom stick to their scripts.
 In "Jitterbugs," which opens at the 20th Century Sunday, Stan and Ollie are cast as a team of way faring musicians, whose 25-piece, two-man tive band gets them in a heap of laugh-provoking situations.
