FOR RESULTS
| The ehair sang the anthem, ”

^Hoffman sang the solo 'The Won-

® "A Star in the Sky”. was presented *
'and receiving was as well ascertain-
ed as the quiddam honorarium of
; any barrister or physician.
! Queen Elisabeth received a large
'part of her wardrobe as gifts from
her courtiers, and if the quality or
quantity was not satisfactory, the
donors were unceremoniously inform
ed of the situation.
When Henry LU entertained a
thousand knights, peers and assorted
nobles who came to attend the Yule-
tide marriage of the Princess Mar
garet, his majesty received a royal
Christmas gift of 2,700 pounds, plus
GOO fat oxen from the Archbishop of|
; York.
With similar assistance, whether ex
horted or given in the spirit of gen
erosity appropriate to the season, his
majesty could well afford to give
Christmas feasts for the poor like the
one given in Westminster Hail in 12-18,
which lasted a week.
Striving to outdo his predecessors
and give his successors something to
shoot, at, Henry VUI kept one Yule-
tide at which the cost of gold cloth
that was used amounted to BOO pounds I
alone. He had tents erected and arti
ficial gardens plotted within the
spacious hall of his palace. Knights
came out of the tents to joust in
tournaments and fantastically dressed!
cancers, covered tram head to foot
with gay ribbon streamers, emerged
from the gardens to entertain the
guests.
Preparations for the feasting on
such oceastons is perfectly appalling
to epicures of the 20th century—and
can only be vaguely comprehended by
considering that Richard II normally
employed 2.-GG3 cocks, to prepare food
for the M0OO persons who dined—ir
respective of special feasting—at his
expense every day.
