Many quaint Christmas customs have survived in England, especially in country districts.
 In some sections Christmas still lasts the 12 days of old, winding up on the Twelfth Night Shakespeare wrote about. During that season, villagers turn hummer to act out centuries-old plays and to frolic in the streets.
 In Cornwall fisherfolk in coastal villages "guise dance" on street cor ners to the music of concertina and drum. The boys usually dress as girls and the girls as boys. Some times they assume historical charac- ters, sometime merely go in black face.
 In Hampshire ordinarily serious farm laborers strangely array them- selves in pseudo-Norman helmets and coats of mail, tlseir faces con- cealed by strips of wallpaper. That is the prescribed costume in which the workers re-enact the ancient mummers' play about St. George and the Dragon.
 When New Years night falls on Alendale two dozen quaintly-garbed men with pans of blazing tar bal anced on their heads, parade behind the village band to the market place where they touch of bonfire.
 At Burghead they "burn the Cla- vie." the Clavie being tar barrel

determined Mildred became, the less I wanted to humiliate Jennie. So finally I said, Girls, you can all do what you like. but I'm going. The upshot was that all of us ap- peared except Mildred and her nus band.
 Jennie gave us the surprise of our lives. She had a small, beautifully trimmed tree, with attractive look ing packages nestling in the branch es. We simply gasped. "Jenniel You shouldn't have done this!"
 She laughed. Really, it wasn't much trouble. In fact, had lot of fun"
 After dinner the presents were dis tributed One by one the missing ar ticles came to light. Kitty's face, as she lifted her Appenzell hand kerchief out of dainty velvet case, was the funniest thing I've ever seen! Raymond Fox unwrapped a tie holder from which tie was hanging, and Bill did the same. Ev- erybody was laughing uproariously by this time, yet looking decidedly sheepish, too. I was gazing in fasci- nation at my present-pictures of my children.
 Just to make it unanimous, she said, there was gift for John Mul- drow. I've been looking high and low for that thing" heard him say

KEEPING SPIRIT
 OF CHRISTMAS
HENRY VAN DYKE From The Spirit of Christmas.")

It is a good thing to observe Christmas day. The mere marking of times and seasons, when men agree to stop work and make merry together, is wise and wholesome custom. It helps one to feel the su- premacy of the common life over the individual life. It reminds man to set his own little watch, now and then, by the great clock of humanity which runs on sun time.
 9 But there is a better thing than the observance of Christmas day, and that is, keeping Christmas.
 Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people, and to remember what other people have done for you; to ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to put your rights in the background, and your duties in the middle distance, and your chances to do a little more than your duty in the foreground: to see that your fellowmen are jus. as real as you are, and to try TO look behind their faces to their hearts, hungry for joy; to own that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life; to close your book of complaints against the management of the universe, and look around you for place where you can SOW a few seeds of happi- ness-are you willing to do these things even for day? Then you can keep Christmas.
 Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs and the desires of little children; to remember the weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old; to stop asking how much your friends love you, and ask yourself whether you love them enough; to bear in mind the things that other people have to bear in their hearts; to try to un- derstand what those who live in the same house with you really want, without waiting for them to tell you; to trim your lamp so that it will give more light and less smoke, and to carry it in front so that your shadow will fall behind you; to

SPECIAL FAVOR OF CHRISTMAS
 ENRICHE5 LIFE

There is very special flavor about Christmas which has nothing to do with the giving and getting of presents, and which depends only cn the spirit which the presents represent. The adult who can keep this spirit and not let himself be worn out and exasperated by the material aspects of the season has kept a part of his childhood alive and can still feel the thrill which the season holds for children.
 The child who has experienced the finest essence of Christmas will always look upon the season with joy and anticipation. His senses will always be stirred by the smell of evergreen, the crackle of holly and the picture of people loaded down with mysterious parcels.
 To get the full flavor there must be secrets, hidden packages, whis perings and private consultations There must be also increased ten sion suntil Christmas Eve with the frantic efforts to sleep that the time may pass more quickly. or the de- termination to lie awake and peep for a sight of the unexpected.
 When Christmas has become too elaborate and is burden instead of {. joy, when everyone decides not to celebrate Christmas this year, the children have been robbed of one of the high spots of childhood.
 Life is enriched and quickened by an occasional break in the proceed Ire of everyday existence; and the season which offers the greatest possibilities for such a break is the feast of the winter solstice, when the harvest is over and the spring not yet at hand-the feast of Christ mas.

Quaint British Customs Survive

filled with wood. It is demolished while still aflame and there is mad rush for the glowing embers, which are supposed to bring good luck.
 Luck also is the underlying theme of wassailing in Carhampton, Som- erset. Pans full of cider are car ried into the orchards. Then each man dips his mug in and after drain ing part of his mug, throws the rest of the cider at the trees while he shouts to scare away any evil spirits which may be lurking in the branches.
 At Hax in Lincolnshire, men from five rival hamlets gather there to play a 600-year-old game called throwing the hood" Something Of the games ruggedness is indicated in the preliminary warning chant of the Lord referee:
 "Hoos again hoos, toon again toon.
 If man meet man kn0ck c
 man doom
 -Bmt don'f hurt him."
 The hood, tightly rolled piece of sacking, is then tossed into the air and each player tries to get it and run for home. As finale, the men lock in scrimmage and try to push each other down hill. Lady luck is supposed to favor the winners dur ing the ensuing year.

I give you my word l was never more flabbergasted in my life than the afternoon I found Jennie Null drow looking through Bills closet. Bill is my husband. I must have made a sound-gasped, maybe-for she turned around with jerk. If saw guilt on human counte-
 lnce it was on hers. Then sud- enly had an inspiration. I laughed ueakly. You gave me a start, Jen- .ie,7 I said T didn't know anyone was in here. Were you looking for your coat?"
 "Yes. I-I was" she stammered.
 Perhaps it would be better if I be- gan at the beginning. You see, the bridge club was meeting at my house. Just the usual crowd, two , tables. Jennie Muldrow, only a few minutes earlier, had invited us all to a dinner party at her home the week before Christmas.
 q That night Mildred Carr phoned me. Mary" she said, did you see pair of brown pigskin gloves any where? I thought they were in my purse but I can't find them"
 The next day I told Mildred couldn't find the gloves. Just as thought" she answered. ! What did you say?''
 Mary, hate to say this, but I'm terribly afraid we have a thief in | 3ur midst"
 Immediately I recalled Jennie Muldrow in Bills closet, but I didn't mention it. Why, Mildred!" I ex- claimed, What makes you say that?"
 Well, Betty Hicks lost compact yesterday. I don't mean she dropped it somewhere. She had it at your

house. But when she got home it was gone"
 And that ism all Kitty put lovely Appenzell handkerchief in her bag when she left home, but this morning it wasn't there"
 I started to speak but Mildred said quickly, Now don't say she was just mistaken, Mary Ellsworth, be- cause that isn't all. Guess what Mar tha Fox told me!' This was just rhetorical, so I didn't answer. Evi- dently Mildred had had a busy morning. Jennie was visiting Mar tha last night and, when Martha was called to the phone and her back was turned, Jennie pocketed a tie of Raymond's! Martha was facing a mirror but Jennie didn't notice.'
 Well! felt weak
 What do you think? Could Jennie be a-a kleptomaniac?"
 T don't know" I answered. I said nothing about seeing Jennie in Bills closet I never did tell anyone but Bill. He was inclined to pooh- pooh the whole business.
 The burning question was: Should we go to the Christmas party or not? There was difference of opin- ion about what to do. Martha want ed each one to make up a water tight excuse and stay at home. Mill dred Carr said ruthlessly, No, that won't solve anything Jennie must resign from the club. We can't have criminal in it. She must under stand she isn't wanted" The more

make grave for your ugly thoughts and garden for your kindly feel ings, with the gate open-are you willing to do these things even for a day? Then you can keep Christi mas.
 Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world
 stronger than hate. stronger than evil, stronger than death--and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem 1900 years ago is the im- age and brightness of the Eternal Love? Then you can keep Christ mas.
 And if you keep it for a day, why, not always?
 But you can never keep it alone

KING FOR A NIGHT AT
 WA55AILlNG TREE FETE

Here's to thee
 Old Apple tree!
 Whence thou mayst bud,
 Any whence thou mayst blow, And whence thou mayst beat
 Apples enow;
 Hats full,
 Caps full,
 Bushels, bushels, sacks full,
 And my pockets full too!
 Huzza. Huzza!" The rendering of this doggerel rhyme, followed by the passing of the cider jug, was popular feature of Christmas during the middle 18th century at Devonshire. This completei, the male members of the party discharged guns into a selected apple tree-said to result in bumper apple crops. The men would then knock at the farm house door, guess as to the kind of roast in the oven. The one who guessed correctly was king for the night.
