He probably was considerably consider-ably older than Mary, but people may have thought of him as being older than he actually was because he enjoyed earnest conversation and the companionship of selected friends rather than boisterous pleasures. When Joseph thought of Mary, he forgot the difference in their ages: she was the girl he had waited for, his beloved. They were espoused or, as we would say, engagedwhich en-gagedwhich was almost as official of-ficial as being married. His heart soared on wings of the approaching approach-ing wedding day, and then . . . What Mary insisted had come to pass, simply could not be! Joseph wanted desperately to believe Mary, but such things just didn't happen, and if they did, they happened hap-pened to somebody else. Much as he loved Mary, Joseph was a righteous and God-fearing man and while he couldn't even think of making her a public example, ex-ample, he had just about made up his mind to put her away privily. That is, he thought he had made up his mind. In his heart, he knew he couldn't; what would become of her ... of her child. . . . Then one night, after he had exhausted ex-hausted himself with tortured thinking, he fell asleep and the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream: saying, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not . . ." And when Joseph awoke, he did as the angel bad bidden him, and took Mary as his lawful and cherished wife. "Fear not," the angel spoke unto un-to Joseph. "Fear not," the angel had declared de-clared unto Mary. "Fear not," the angel said unto the shepherds of Bethlehem.

Jucia baij Starts CliriAtmaA Season Jn Swedish Custom Celebration of Lucia Day on December De-cember 13 inaugurates the Christmas Christ-mas season in Sweden. It takes its name from St. Lucia, or Lucy, martyred for her faith and virginity virgini-ty in Syracuse in 304, A. D., and venerated by the church each December De-cember 13. The prettiest blonde in every home, office, factory, village and town is elected a "Lucia" and visits the sick, leads carnivals and processions and attends banquets and balls accompanied by her "handmaidens." The ancient custom coincides with the winter solstice, when the sun swings toward the earth once more and the days begin to lengthen. length-en. In addition to beauty, other qualifications for "Lucias" or "light queens" are fair hair, a nice disposition and high character. charac-ter. Dressed in long white robes, wearing crowns of lighted candles (the traditional costume for "Lucias") "Lu-cias") the girls present gifts and the traditional Lucy day coffee and rolls to hospital patients, etc. The queen and her maidens, enthroned en-throned in a star spangled horse-drawn horse-drawn chariot, lead festive processions proces-sions around the village squares and through city streets. Parade participants depict alternate alter-nate scenes from Sweden's picturesque pic-turesque Lapland and the Wild West of the United States, whils musicians in multi-colored costume cos-tume alternate playing northern folk tunes and American jazz.

Eng-land. Jt is observed religiously in the churches and as a day for family reunions and social gatherings, in contrast to the lavish feasting and boisterous merry-making of olden times. Merry-making and gift-giving come in for their share, however, on December 26 which is Boxing Day. The origin of Boxing Day antedates ante-dates Christmas and can be traced to the custom of gift-giving during the Roman festival of Saturnalia. In Christian liturgy December 26 is observed as the feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and during the centuries when Journeymen Jour-neymen and apprentices were in the habit of levying upon their masters' mas-ters' customers, 'Christmas Boxes' were collected on St. Stephen's day. Thus, the children receive their presents, in boxes, as do old servants, serv-ants, the postman, and everyone else. And reminiscent of the Roman Saturnalia, householders dance with the servants and, toward evening, there is revelling in the streets as groups of merry-makers gather on street corners or ride about London-town dancing on the 'flats' of trucks.
