Long ago the Roman Catholic priests had masses for everything, and if a ship went to the West Indies they had a box in her under the protection of some patron saint, into which the sailors put money or other valuables in order to secure the prayers of the church. At Christ-mathese boxes were opened and were thence called Christmas boxes.

Longstemmed flowers also radiate from the central star with the blossoms toward the plates of those for whom the flowers are intended. Every napkin lies beneath a Christmas card with a sprig of holly tied upon it with red ribbon, and to the back of every chair is tied a bag with a big red satin bow.

New York City SONS TO GROW UP in Almost every mother keeps her boy knee pants just as long as she can; she hates to see him becoming a man, for she feels that he Is getting away from her. A mother sees only with reluctance the boy pass from the love and care and peace with which she has surrounded him, out into the world of pitiless endeavor In which he must part. The mothers selfish fondness discloses itself in the ludicrous childs garment and the wornout, home-brehorse with which she sends forth the would-bknight. These are to the modern analytical mind painfully symbolic of the unconscious interference on the part of parents with the proper adult equipment of their children for an independent life. Their apparent fondness conceals the unconscious wish that the child will find himself unequipped for the greater world and compelled to turn back to the shelter.

Some of these celebrated it on the first or sixth of January, other groups observed September 29 and still another March 29. As early as the fourth century, however, the period of the new year had been generally accepted as the time for celebrating Christs birth.

Pope Julius I., who presided in the first half of the fourth century, is credited with having set the date. THE Good Year for Violets.

Ivan, who ruled being ready for a wife, ordered all the beautiful girls in the country to come to Moscow. Preliminary contests were held in each province, and candidates selected.
