Bayherry Candle Tradition Given Economic expediency not Christmas traditions prompted Puritan housewives of colonial New England to make their own bayberry candles. Puritan antipathy to Christmas celebrations disembarked from the Mayflower with the Pilgrims. The Massachusetts general court in 1659 welcomed (somewhat belatedly communications being slow in those Round-hea- d days) the tidings that the the abolished had Parliament observance of Christmas in 1643. Restoration of English royalty In 1655 brought a revival of Christmas customs to England but In several New England communities the Puritan prejudice against Chrlstmaa festivities persisted in spite of Improved facilities of communications until the early part of the 20th century. Foreign Christmas Various foreign countries contribute many strange Christmas customs. In Norway there Is a myth that the spruce grew from the bloodsoaked ground where two lovers died. The lights symbolize their love, faith and hope. At Saint Marks in Naples, the dogs are taken to church on Christmas morning. There they wait patiently until their masters leave. Russia holds that Mary is omnipotent and uses a scene with her rather than tha Christ Child. The Polish Wigilia, or Christmas The Last Supfeast, symbplizes per," and is the feature of their Christmas celebration. Twelve types of dishes, prepared in their individual style, are served only once a year and at this time. After the feast, the lights are put ut and bowls of nuts, raisins and fruits and Christmas cakes and candies are passed around and eaten by the tree in the flicker of the candles. it is really quiet and peaceful.

Build up a real Christmas by having a few strangers at your table, or taking part in canteen or hospital preparations. There mustnt be a single bed, among all our thousands of newly filled hospital beds, that has not its heap of gaily wrapped packages beside it on Christmas morning. Let us solve the Christmas problem by an extended hospitality, and by Ingenuity in planning for tne great family day. This shoulunfbe an extravagant Christmas; save your money for the long pull of the year or two immediately ahead; prices are high just now, commodities are scarce and often inferior in quality. Small Inexpensive presents and a plotted Christmas program will be in far better taste and much, more fun. Costumes for Children. If there are small children and Heaven help the family where there are not! remember how they love to dress up, and make costumes for them all. Cowboy and policeman suits are simple, cooks and pirates simpler still. The girls adore hoop-skirt- s and ballet ruffles, but a poke shortened bonnet, a grown-up- s skirt and a shawl will keep any girl from 4 to 10 absorbed for delightful hours on Christmas Day. Small canvas traveling cases, at a cost of about 50 cents apiece, add greater glamour to any costume that indicates the tourist, and to name the sitting room as Italy and the playroom as China adds some zest. Pencil games for young and old are always good, charades or a homewrit-te- n play, home movies, or the manufacturing of a home record to send to someone far away are all delightful, and dont cost as much as one modern toy. One old man I used to know would go into our small town post office every day during the week before Christmas, to pay the postage on small packages held for postage shortage. Scores of these went on their way because of his generous spirit, and he never was thanked and never wanted to be. One rich woman here went to the old peoples home a week before Christmas a few years ago, found that there were 118 inmates, and I laid down her check for $354. want every one of them to have a little money for gifts, she said. A kindly aunt of my acquaintance sent a niece at boarding-schoo- l her usual present. But a week before that she sent this same niece a box containing five or six small wrapped gifts, for the niece to give to her friends. A Day of Freedom. Another gift that always has seemed to me a marvel of thoughtfulness and sweetness was the one SAINT SINTER KLAAS The boys and girls in Holland look upon St. Nicholas Eve as their very own and call the good Saint, Sinter Klaas.

Dr. Moore was chagrined when 'The Visit of St Nicholas" was published in the Troy (N. Y.) Sentinel on December 23, 1823, as an anony tnous contribution: a Doctor vinity, he considered the poem neath his dignity and many passed before Dr. Moore allowed to become known that he was the author thereof; no doubt he suspected how "The Visit of St Nicholas had found its way to the SentineL Miss Harriet Butler, daughter of the Hev.

After the dark years of depression, and the anguished years of u ar, tee have suddenly emerged victorious and prosperous. While there is still ... d lunch-hourite- much sorrow, this is the best Christmas for most people in a long, long time. In our gladness tee should not lose sight of those less fortunate. There are many whose sad days we could brighten a little. Those in hospitals and homes for the aged; orphans and cripples; most of all those for uhom tec can never do enough, the wounded veterans of this and the other wars. If possible, we can invite some of these men to our homes. At least, we ran go and visit them and perhaps give them small gifts. my sister made to a friend of hers for many successive years. It was the gift of a day. Margaret married before my sister did, and presently had a baby. On the Saturday before Christmas my sister was at her house at nine oclock, and Margaret was off like a swallow for a day in town. Shopping, lunch, with a friend, calls, dinner with her husband downtown, and a leisurely return were Margarets for that one day. Next year there was another baby, and the year after that my sister brought her own, and presently her own two. And always it was Margarets miracle day, the day of complete freedom from anxiety and responsibility, as a present from Teresa. To put that sort of imagination and tenderness into the holiday that reminds us all of the infinite love of God for man, is to achieve several things One is that the January bills will not be a nightmare. Another Is that unpleasant discoveries as to the poor quality of toys and frocks will be avoided. And the most important of all will be that traditions of home, fun, home service, feasting, playing, laughter, home love, will be built into the hearts of everyone who comes within reach of that warmth, and some of the sadness and change of these strange days will be turned Into sweetness and light Good Dress Pattern Helps To Avoid Homemade Look Nothing gives a dress that unwanted "homemade look any more definitely than poor fit. One of the best ways of being sure your dress will fit is to start your dressmaking venture with a good pattern But a good pattern is only a start, because most women have figure irregularities that require changes in either pattern or basted garment for perfect fit. The easier, more economical way Is to alter the pattern. Farmers Bulletin 1968, Pattern Alteration," gives complete information on buying the right size of commercial pattern and explains how to measure the figure and take corresponding pattern measurements, allowing for extra width or length where It is needed. Methods for altering various pattern pieces are illustrated by sketches showing, for example, how to make the skirt pattern larger through hips, or the blouse shorter through back. After marking any alterations, rtp the garment apart, press pieces and cut a paper pattern from them Use this as a guide in checking lines and proportions of other patterns Keep your basic pattern up to date by making a new one each year, as shoulder, armscye and other structural lines change with the mode, or you may change in size I Morning stripping the Big Alley of its sparkling fig leaves, while the! sun exposes is nude ugliness. .
