Not Only Gold, But Frankincsnss, Myrrh Were Precious Gifts, Too

 Thus St. Matthew describes she first Christmas gifts of all. brought to the Christ Child by ''wise men from the East. Each of the gifts was rare and. especially in Biblical times. truly a treasure.
 Among the gifts. the value and beauty of gold is most readily apparent to modern readers. Then, however. it's worth was even greater. for it 'was still more rare and pre- cious than it is today. Archae- ological diggings in ancient Troy, Crete and Egypt have re- vealed that articles of gold were usually royal treasures.

 Frankincense and myrrh, while less familiar today, have modern uses.
 Frankincense, or "olibanum," !" is gum resin which flows from a tree growing on bare rocks in the mountains of southern Asia and northeastern Africa. It was formerly used in medicine but is now chiefly employed as incense Tn Cath olic churches and Indian and Chinese temples.
 Myrrh is the popular name for gum resin obtained from a small gray-barked tree which grows in Arabia and adjacent Africa. From earliest times it has been used for making in- sense and other perfumes, the Encyclopedia Americana says.

The willingness of people all over the world to believe myths and legends that have b e n passed down from generation to generation, is well known.
 Because Christmas-and the festival of the holiday season is so interwoven with mysti- cism, legend and historical rec ords, many superstitions have resulted in various countries.
 The very Santa Claus story itself, is perhaps the greatest of all the Christmas myths, and as research has revealed, is expressed differently in var ious parts of the world.
 AS matter of fact, the act ual modern symbol of Santa Claus with his round belly, twinkling eyes, rosy cheeks, flowing white beard, driving his reindeer-drawn sle i g h across the sky on Christmas Eve from the North Pole where he has mammoth toy factory, was created in New York as early as 1882, a mere eighty years ago.
 There are, however, equally as fanciful beliefs in other parts of the world, and while there is no documentary evi- dence to support actual belief in these superstitions, they are nevertheless accepted as legend and passed on, keeping them alive.
 For example, if you were born on Christmas Eve in Scot land, it wouldn't be at all amiss if you believed that you had the power to see spirits, and yes, even to command them to do your bidding.
 If this idea gives you pause and you mentally raise quiz zical eyebrow in disbelief, con- sider the peasantry of France. These gentle folk believe (the story goes) that all babies born on Christmas Eve will have ready a n d facile tongue. We wonder if by that they mean gift of gab."
 But that isn't all with these French folk of the countryside. They also believe that those babies born on Christmas Day will be gifted with logic; moot quality, one often born with the progenitor of argu- ment. But ah, the maidens of
