Wandering Old Lady
Is Santa in Italy

Santa Claus doesn't visit children
in Italy. 1t isn't because they are all
naughty, but because there is no
Santa ClauS-in Italy.
No one runs down to well-deco-
rated tree on Christmas morning to
look for presents Brightly colored
flowers decorate the room instead
of Christmas trees, and presents are
not exchanged until January 6.
On that night, an old, old lady,
La Befana, walks from house k
house and leaves a present, beside
each little child she visits.
Exactly 1,940 years ago, accord
ing to the Italian legend, La Befana
was very busy sweeping her kitchen
when several men dressed like kings
stopped in front of her cottage. They
asked her where Bethlehem was,
but she had never heard of it.
The men told her about a baby
which had been born in Bethlehem,
and mentioned a star which had
been guiding them. The old lady
wished she could accompany them
when they left her in search of the
infant Jesus.
But La Befana Stayed home. 1t
was getting too dark out, and be-
sides, the baby could wait until to-
morrow. Later that night she no.
ticed the sky quivering with light.
The clouds seemed to take the form
of angels. All thought of sleep left
her. Rising, she carefully wrapped
two gifts for the Holy Baby, then
ran out into the night in the direc'
tion the kings had gone.
Fast as she hurried. she had mo-
reached Bethlehem when the star
disappeared and dawn filed the sky.
She frantically asked the way tC
Bethlehem, but no one could tel
| her.
And so La Befana has constantly
| travelled since that day. searching
for the Christ Child. On the Epiph
any, II days after Christmas, she
| goes from house to house, looking
into the faces of babies. With each
she leaves a gift, hoping that at last
she will give her presents to the
right child.

Place Ban on Christmas

Puritanism brought over with it in
the Mayfower the anti-Christmas
feelings.
In 1859 the general court of Mas
sachusetts, following the example of
the English parliament, enacted a
law providing: anybody who is
found observing, by abstinence from
labor, feasting, or any other way, any
such day as Christmas, shall pay
for such offense five shillings." The
law remained in effect until 1881.
The repeal, however, was bitter to
old Puritanisms. which kept UP an
even protest down to the early part
of the present century.

King for a Night at
Wassailing Tree Fete

'Here's to thee
Old apple tree!
Whence thou mGysg bud,
AHd tOheuce thou mdySt blOO,
And tUhence thou mGyst beat
AppLeS enOrO;
... Hats full, ..., ...
Caps full.
Bushels, bushels, sacks full,
Ind my pockets full too!
Huzza! HuszG!'
The rendering of this doggerel
rhyme, followed by the passing Of
the cider jug. was a popular feature
of Christmas during the middle 18th
century at Devonshire.
This completed, the male mem
bers of the party discharged guns
into a selected apple tree-said ia
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.

In the west Of Ireland, Christmas
takes a pious note. A candle is left
burning in the window as guide To
the Holy Family, should it be need
ing shelter. And food is left on the
table between meals in case any
souls from purgatory should revisit
their old homes.

Il 10Th Century Santa
Is William P. DuUyer

He was just a little boy, ever
though he was 10 years old, and one
shoe sole kept Tapping and turning
under when he walked. But there
was a look of hope in his eyes as he
followed the man ahead of him into
a big room full Of toys and ma
chinery.
On one side were stacks Of new
looking sleds and by these the mar
halted.
How about nice sled?" the mar
asked. would you like that?"
He did not need to wait for ar
answer; it was on the boys face.
So Santa Claus, in the person Of
William P. Dwyer, managing direc'
tor of the Santa Claus Castle ir
Kansas City, Mo-, had scored
again. The little boy was one Of 1,S2s
children who received free toys from
the Castle" last year besides more
than 400 children in orphan homes
for whom Dwyer had saved play
things.
His organization collects used toys
during the year, some slightly dam
aged ones being contributed by bust
ness firms. He and his helpers re.
pair and rebuild them. At Christ
mas they are given to needy chill
dren.
Last year they had about 2,20(
toys, MIR. Dwyer estimated.
