Marian never looked at the house, but turned her gaze to the other aide of the street.

Those staring windows were getting on her nerves. She took the doited net rem her bureau and went to work.

Perhaps It was the story of the Christ child put to tune or a ballad of love and cheer. When the singers were done the householder Invited them In for a bite and a sup, or gave them a coin or two for their song. Then on to the next house, to sing aguiu under the stars or veiled behind Rifted snow. And then, in the early morning, home again to thyir own firesides. It was a good old custom, this midnight minstrelsy in the season of peace aud goodwill "With the beginning of Yuletide, twelve days before Christmas day," as Perclval Chubb tells us In the Standard, published In New York by the American Kthlcal Union, "small bands of musicians went the rounds and, 'In the mire' or on the roud or on the steps, played the old folk tunes as a lyrical prelude to the great day." To some of the antique ballad airs, like "Good King Wenceslaus," says Mr. Chubb, the singers would add a hymn tune or two Once In David's Itoyal City" or "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." "Punctuating the bustle of domestic preparation for the coming feast, these ministrations In the still night gave a breuth of poetry that touched the spirit of Christmas with an endearing beauty. Day by day the tide of Joyous anticipation rose until the crescendo brttke Into s forte of exuberance." Those simple days of the folk are gone, says Mr. Chubb; the glory Is departed.

The Institution - r a CHRISTMAS DAY has had many ordering all citizens te observe Chris! mas day as a solemn fast, to be spenl in silenl atonement for previous festivals that had passed in riotous living and merrymaking. This order remained In force for 12 years. The authorities In several towns tried to reduce Christmas day to the level of oilier days. In Canterbury, by onu-- of the mayor, it was proclaimed that "Christmas day and all other superstitious fes tivals should he put down." People who attended service in The the cathedral were mobbed. Inhabitants formed themselves Into two parties, and feeling In the matter frequency resulted In the exchange of blows. In KJ.VJ It was proclaimed that "no observation shall be had of tiie live and twentieth day of Decemcalled Christinas ber, commonly day, nor any solemnity used or exercised In churches." The order was enforced by solOvens and larders were diers. searched, and where seasonable dainties or decorations were found they were carried off and destroyed.

Even those who hold creeds In which there Is no Christmas feel the splendor of that cry. and those who have no formal creed at all still know there Is one of the 3lV portions of the year which is es sentially the lay of the Child. It Is the day when even the most unsentimental adult, long since congealed and hardened by ihe years, can hear In his heart the footsteps of the little ones. Today they are running about so eagerly all over the world pattering to see what good gifts may have been received, ardent with a hope that only young hearts can feel.

On this day even those who have been the most careless feel like saying over reverently that beautiful prayer for wisdom In the rearing of children: "Almighty Cod. heavenly Father, who hast blessed us with the Joy and care of children; (live us light and strength so to train them, that they may love whatsoever things are true ami pure and lovely and of good report."
