Future FOretOLd
By DrOWsy Hens

Divinations were an important
part of the Christmas festivities in
Czarist Russia.
After a special family Christmas
dinner, the girls of the household
placed five piles of grain upon the
kitchen floor: each pile was given a
name, such as Hope, Ring, Money,
Thread and Charcoal. A drowsy hen
was fetched from the henhouse and
allowed to walk around the kitchen
floor and choose a pile of grain.
Obviously the hens choice of
Money meant wealth; Ring, foretold
a wedding within a year; and Hope,
promised the fulfllment of a wish
or a long journey. If the sleepy
chicken chose the grain designated
as Thread, a life of toll was pre-
dicted for the manageable maiden
of the household; and Charcoal was
considered an omen of death in the
family.
Old songs were sung to accom-
pany such goings-on, while the girls
and women We'd to devise complete
stories based on the antics of the
hen.

"Be Tbou 0uell"
On Christmas Dap

Among the happy customs of
Christmas is that of drinking a wish
for health and happiness to the as
sembled guests-the early name
used was "wassail."
The name "wassail" is a contrac-
ton of the middle English "waes
hael," meaning "be thou we'll"
Wassail was usually prepared in a
large wooden bowl. The base of the
drink, which was cider, was placed
in the bowl and other ingredients
added for seasoning. It a then
set on the hearth in front of a log
fire and apples we're tied above. AS
the apples began to roast, the juice
dripped into the wooden bowl.
Here is a recipe for wassail to-
day:
/ gallon cider, dash of grena-
dine, 6 egg whites, separated and
whipped. Add allspice, cinnamon,
crushed cloves to suit and one pint
of milk or cream.

Mexiro Dib Amap
0aitb Santa Claus

In 1880 the authorities in Mexico
decided to abolish Santa Claus dur

considered him out of place in a
country where snow is seldom seen.
The well-known bearded figure
was ousted by Quetzalcoatl, the In
dian god, half bird, half snake, who
was worshipped by the Aztecs be-
fore the Spanish invasion.

Hunting the Wren
In old Ireland

Once upon a time in Ireland, the
wren was hunted and killed on
Christmas morning: a branch of
holly and bright ribbons we're at
tached to his body which was car
ried from house to house by wren
boys who sang songs and expected
to receive a dole from each house
hold.
The story goes that during the
Danish-Irish war, the Danes were
resting after an arduous march and
the Irish were creeping up quietly.
All of a sudden a wren, spying a
few crumbs which the drowsy Dan
ish drummer had dropped on the
drumhead, swooped down and be-
gan to peck at the crumbs. The
pecking awakened the boy, who
aroused the camp: the Irish, driven
off and defeated, blamed the wren.
Modern Irish, ashamed of the
once-honored tradition, say the guilty
bird may have been a starting or a
sparrow anyway, and now welcome
the wren to their farms and homes.

Devin, to confer with maritime strikers in an effort to determine what relief supplies should be sent to strike-iSolated Alaska was agreed upon at a meeting in the mayors office today, attended by represen- tatives of the unions Committee for Maritime Unity.
