Another old fashioned custom, which is said to have been originated in Colonial days, is to include a tiny bit of mistletoe with the invitation.

Decorations for the Christmas table are not difficult to arrange. One may have a flat bowl of colored glass piled high with fruit. Or one may have a slender silver vase with a cluster of holly in it, or perhaps a lower vase with cut winter flowers. An old custom is to have a miniature tree in the tenter of the table tearing gifts or for the guests.

At such a party the wassail cup must lie passed around: the wassail is an old English custom. Dickens says: They sat down by the huge fire of blazing logs to a substantial supper, and a mighty bowl of wassail, something smaller than the ordinary washhouse copper, In which the hot apples were hissing and bubbling with a rich look, and a jolly sound that were perfectly Irresistible. Instead of containing the brew, ale, e or steaming punch of the wassail bowl, the cup at our modem . old-tim- English dinner may contain anyinlld punch or soft drink that the hostess likes. It Is passed around to carry out the old custom and to wish cheer with the brimming cup. After dinner the guests repair to tUj drawing room, which Is Illumined solely by candles and is decorated with mistletoe suspended from unexpected places. Here the famous old English games are played, old Christmas carols sung, and old Christmas stories related. If possible there should be a glowing yule log In the fireplace. Perhaps you would prefer a German dinner with all Us pretty customs. Use for a centerpiece a miniature representation of the Nativity, and have a tiny Kris Krlngle or a small, decorated Christmas tree at each place. Have gifts packed and marked with the names of the persons for whom each is intended, and then hide them throughout the house. After dinner start your guests ofLon a search for these treasures, which they exchange among themselves as the packages are found, until each guest has his own. This is an old German custom, and is always good fun, especially If the guests are young people. Another variety of Christmas dinner carries out all the traditions of the Druids. There should be a crackling lire In the fireplace. Sprigs of mistletoe should be distributed generously. For dinner provide a jolly feast, nuts and apples and things to eat. And after tills repast there should be dancing, music nnd entertainment. The Scandinavian Christmas dinner could be made most delightful.
