Eggs on
Christmas
Trees?
Eggs are usually thought of
as an Easter tradition.
But about 200 dozen eggs
have been turned into glittering
Christmas tree decorations by
Mrs. Isabel Baynes of Bowleys
Quarters, Md.
Tools for her hobby, be-
sides the emptied eggshells, are
semiclear glue, multicolored
glitter, sequins and ribbon.
Mrs. Baynes first saw Christmas
eggs which had been imported
from Germany and were selling
at $4 a dozen. "I decided I
could make my own," she says.
"It's a simple process."
Mrs. Baynes cracks the top
of an egg, emptying it into a
saucer. Then she breaks down
the egg shell to fit the design
she wants. Some eggs have
only the top segment removed,
but others are reduced to a half-
shell.
Her method of adding glit-
ter to the shells is to draw lines
and circles with the tip of a
glue container. Then she sprin:-
kles a spoonful of glitter over
the entire shell. When surplus
glitter is shaken off, the pat-
tern appears.
She completes some designs
with figures of clowns, angels,
snowmen and Santa Clauses
which peep over the shell's
edge. —Sarasota Herald-Tri-

Quaint Rehearsal
Of. Christ's Birth
Found in. Carol
'Auld Lang Syne' has become
such an integral part of our mo-
dern New Year's that no
celebratien, however gay,
would be complete without it..
The music sheets for those
nostalgic strains simply say
"Robert Burns — Scotch Airand
Robert Burns generally is suppos-
ed to have written it after he
had settled down on a farm and
taken himself a wife, following
the sweeping success in 1778 of
the second edition of his"Po-
ems." Well and good, but
Auld Lang Syne was not ex-
clusively a Burns product, nor
did he claim it to be.
In a letter to George Thomp-
son, a publisher, Burns explain-
ed:
"It is an old song of olden
times, which has never been in
print, I took it down from an
old man's singing."
Modern scholarship has dis-
covered that Burns was wrong
when he told Thompson "Auld
Lang Syne" never had been in
print. Its refrain, at least, was
printed obscurely long before
Burns heard his "old man sing-
ing':
Further, the original song of-
ten has been credited to Sir Rob-
ert Aytoun (1570-1638). Ay-
toun was one of the earliest
Scots to use the lowland dialect
as a literary medium. Multi-
tudes of Americans decended
from non-British stock are per-
petually mystified by this dia-
lect, nor does it seem to make
much sense in the standard Eng-
lish translation.
Regardless of its original
author and origin, it was Burns
who gave "Auld Lang Syne" its
immortality. And though the
bells now welcome the New
Year with joyous peals symbol-
izing mankind's hope for a
bright future the nostalgist of
"Auld Lang Syne" summarizes
an adherent reluctance to leave
the security and friendship of
the past and embark upon a fu-
ture which, however promising,
may not be more pleasant.
Thus it remains a part of the
English speaking heritage to
"Drink a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne."
