SERVING OF B0AR'S
 HEAD YULE CUSTOM

Of the customs that grew up around the Christmas festival Tn Merrie England, the serving of the boar's head was one of the most stir ring. It endures to this day at Queens College, Oxford, where the 5O-pound tusked head-a lemon in it's grinning jaws-is borne in on great silver dish, escorted by trump eters and candle bearers. It is served up with wonderous flourish Of music and mustard at the high table where sit the dons.
 In the olden days there was an appropriate chant, half carol and half ritual, that the gentlemen used to below at the moment the dish troubled the board:
 Then set down the swineyard,
 The foe to the vineyard,
 Let Bacchus crown his fall.
 Let this boar's head and mustard
 Stand for pig, goose and custard,
 And so ye are welcome all.

Wise Men received the gifts of char ity and spiritual wealth, perfect faith, truth and meekness.
 When they returned to their own country, the three Kings reputedly sold their possessions and went about preaching the Christ-King. Legend continues, that they were martyred in India for their faith.
 The bodies of the Wise Men, trans ferred to Constantinople in the fourth century-by the Empress Hell ena, mother of Constantine - were enshrined at Milan for while after the first Crusade. Frederick Bar barossa authorized removal of the relics to Cologne where they remain to this day deposited within the magnificent Cathedral of Cologne.

THREE WISE MEN
 OF ANCIENT TIME;
 RELIC5ATC0L0GNE

Biblically we know very little about the Wise Men who came from the East bearing gifts to the Christ Child and, having adorned Him as the King of the Jews, returned to their own country.
 It is generally accepted that there were three Wise Men because of the three specifically mentioned gifts: church tradition has identified these as Melchoir, Caspar, and Balthasar; Melchoir, king of Arabia, brought a casket of old; Caspar, king of Tar sus, brought myrrh; and Balthasar, king of Ethiopia, brought franklin cense. These gifts are considered symbolic of what Jesus was to be- come-gold for king, frankincense for.a high priest, and myrrh for a great physician Collectively, the

 A more modern legend is that whoever brings the Christmas holly into the house first, either husband or wife, is the one who will rule the ensuing year.

APPLE CUSTOM

Apples play great role in Christ mas customs. In parts of England they are pared and the peeling, talk en off in one spiral, is thrown over the left shoulder. Tradition has it that the peeling will form the initial of the person whom the parer is destined to marry.

 Plan meals ahead, a few days at Q time. Then ehlldren's meals can easily be adopted to family dinners and much double cooking avoided, If, for example, your childrens routine includes heavy meal at noon, choose for the fam ily's meal foods suitable for both adults and children, and cook enough to leave Q noon dinner for the next day,
 Adult foods can be adapted for children in countless ways, Spices, pie crust and fried foods are not meant for youngsters so, of course, certain dishes must be modified, But meat loaf and stews are ehil- dren's foods If spices are omitted;
