Distributing
the Gifts
OING to the post-office Is a Jolly
method of distribution. Paste
board and brown paper, aided
by Judicious grouping of chairs and
tnbles, easily transform a room into
a post-office, and a wisely selected
postmaster may make the collection
of mall an occasion of much merri
ment. Have general delivery and lock
boxes, and at the general delivery
window see that each person ia
properly identified.
A Christmas hunt is always excit
ing. The clue, given at the breakfast
table, is written on a slip of paper
in some such words as these: “Pass
the parlor, shun the hall, seek the
summer kitchen wall.” In that
vicinity the gift will be found, wrapped
and addressed. It adds to the fun if
the directions lead first to other
rhymes, three or four being followed
up before the hidden treasure Is found
The cobweb party is not new, hut
is always good sport and is especially
adapted to Christmas festivities. The
tangled threads may lead to the laden
tree or to the bulging stocking hang
ing from the mantel shelf.
Still another hunt takes the form of
a polar expedition and Is great sport
In the country when there is snow
enough for It. Immediately after
hreukfast the entire party sets out for
a walk. When they turn toward home,
the host or someone selected as guide
informs them that supplies are hidden
along the way in various caches and
they will do well to look out for them.
Each cache is merely a mound of snow
covering lightly a quantity of gift
packages, securely wrapped. There
need he only three or four mounds
and the gifts should he divided
promiscuously among them. If the
walk has been long, the first cache to
be found—that is. the one farthest
from home—may hide a box of cook
ies. which will be hailed Joyfully and
will make the gifts in the next cache
an e\*m greater surprise.
The last cache to be reached may be
the centerpiece on the dining table.
Here it should be of cotton glittering
with diamond dust, with the pole ris
ing from the middle of it, a fat. squatty
pole with a Jolly Santa Claus atop.
Small gifts may be concealed in a
.Tack Horner pie, brongbT to the tnble
when dinner Is finished. Choose a
deep, round pan of a slxe to fit the
number of the party and put Into It
the presents, each daintily wrapped
and marked with the name of the one
to receive It.
To a far-away relative may he sent
the kiddies' latest photo (It may be
only a snapshot If It be well taken)
accompanied by a little verse after
this sort:
We’re very small, but we want to send
To our Auntie far away.
Some love, and a kiss, with a happy «1A
For a Merry Christmas Day.

T TNTO u< a Child is born;
In your hearts, while joys abound,
Christians on this blessed morn.
Let a place for Him be found;
His dear Name is in the greetings
Friends with friends exchange today;
Let not gifts or festive meetings
Steal from Him your thoughts away.
Unto us a Son is given,
God’s Eternal only Son;
Bonds of Sin by Him are riven;
Grace for man by Hina is worn
He in love becomes our Brother,
Virgin-born of Adam's race;
Truth and mercy meet each other;
Righteousness and peace embrace.
Unto us a Child Is born;
Unto us a Son is given;
Church and home with boughs adorn.
From our hearts all ill be driven:
Go we forth with joy to meet Him,
In His temples here below,
As the Shepherds went to greet Him,
Nigh two thousand years ago.
—MARY ANN THOMPSON.
Chestnuts Stewed In Gravy.
Boll the large chestnuts for ten
minutes, take them out, shell and peel
them, having care to break them as
little as possible. Skim and strain
the liquor In which the giblets were
boiled, season it to taste with salt
and pepper, and to a pint of It add a
tablespoonful of browned flour rubbed
smooth with a teaspoonful of butter.
In this gravy place the peeled chest
nuts and let them simmer ten or fifteen
minutes at the side of the stove. Serve
as a vegetable.—The Delineator.

Christmas Games \
ISTLETOK. Hang It up. Form
a circle. A slipper Is required.
Also a nice, slippery Moor. The
first player slides the slipper. He tries
to land It under the mistletoe. If he
fulls another makes the attempt. If
he succeeds there is a lively scramble.
It concerns the young lady toward
whom the slipper points. She must
seize it and get away before caught.
Then the guests are given humorous
gifts (previously wrapped), and are
admitted (one at a time) to the Christ -
mas room to deposit them in the
stockings.
Another jolly game is played with
Christmas stockings, a number of
which are previously hung up.
These ire placed in a separate room
and the nnme of the person for whom
each is intended Is eoncealed upon it.
Another Christmas stooging game
calls for a huge stocking of tough tis
sue paper filled with toys of till kinds.
Each guest is blindfolded, given a
light rod or cane, turned three times
around and told to hit the hag. The
first to break the stocking gives the
signal for a general scramble, each
guest being supposed to get one of the
trinkets or souvenirs thus scattered.

'7TT 11E INSTITUTION of the festival
U[/ of the birth of the Savior In
attributed by some authorities
to Pope Telesphorus. who (lied A. D.
138.
In the early days of the Christian
religion it was one of the most mov
able of feasts, being often con
founded with the Epiphany and cele
brated by the eastern churches In
April and May. In the Fourth century
the urgency of St. Cyril of Jerusalem
obtained from Pope Julius I. an
order for an Investigation to be
made concerning the day of Christ’s
nativity. The result of the inquiry,
made by theologians of the East and
the West, was an agreement upon the
twenty-fifth of December.
As told In the gospel of St. Luke,
Christ was born in the night. There
fore, divine service is performed on
the night of December 24-25. It is
the custom in Roman Catholic
churches to usher in Christmas day
by the celebration of three masses,
one at midnight, the second at early
dawn, and the third in the morning.
This custom dates front the slrth
century.
