Why are Holly and mistletoe used as Christmas decorations? In olden times holly was regarded as a.` sacred plant. The red berries were associated' with drops of holy blood, and the spines on the leaves with the thorn.- composing the Crown of Thorns, The beasts of the field would not touch the tree, but treated it with the greatest respect. Mistletoe dates back to 'the time of the Druids, who use.d' it at their Yule- tide feasts. Their name for it was "All'heal," and they laid it on their altars after sacrificing a white bull: The idea of bringing branches of trees into houses ` for the Yuletide ceilwbratiei was that the good spirits. of the woods night' be appeased by being "kept warm. The Druids• did it when celebrating their • pagan rites, and so did the Roinans, who . used laurel as an emblem of peace, joy and victor;;. - Yew has its place in our Christmas de ations because: it was supposed s �e : symbol of immortality,the life to 'b a yn of .,yew tree extending to a thousand Y years or more. ?Tamed After Christmas.• ..: At least thr eel'• places, owe their names to Cl ristrdas. Two of them are islands. One is an the East In- dies, not a great way from Java: It is the top of a huge submerged moun- tain 15,000 -feet in height, only 1,200 feet of which shote above the sea. The island is valuable because of the de- posits of phosphate of lime formed there by sea -birds during thousands of years. Before its .discovery in 1868 it was uninhabited, and even now the population numbers only about three hundred. The .other Christmas Island lies in the Pacific Ocean, nearly on the Equa- tor. It was discovered in 1777, but' was only, annexed by England in 1898 ewith a view to 'laying the Pacific cab' -e. Its riches lie in guano' and mother-of- pearl. The most important of Christmas's namesakes is Natal, a province of South Africa. The Portuguese dis- covered it on Christmas Day, and named it Natal, since it was sighted , en Christ's natal day. . s Cheek That Cough At Once - if You Don't You May Be sorry Too mush stress euneot be placed. on ,the fact that on the first sign of a ugh or cold it should be gotten ,rid f. immediately, as failure to do so Inay Cause years of suffering from some serious lung trouble.

Don't forget the "bread and butter" or the "thank you" .letters that should be sent after being entertained. Just now these are .specially in prominence because, during the vacation periods,, scores of persons have received de- lightful hospitality e-Iightfulhospitality from their friends, which requires 'acknowledgment., There is an exuberance that is most keenly felt immediately .after .being entertained that creeps into.notes sent promptly. It is partly for this reason that hostesses find inimediate,respons- rttaiity especially de- lightful It` is also for the same,rea- son that guests find the prompt writ- ing of the nates pleasantest. While everything is :fresh in one's. memory, notes are not actually hard to writs, though they may seem to be, df a per - soli sen is not a ready 'writer. Once the writing materials are out and the note i begun, it almost "writes itself." DELAYED NOTE DIFFICULT. I It is -the delayed , notes that are the difficult ones. Then two things have; to be expressed, first: the "thank you", part and then the excuses' or reasons for the tardiness, It is apt to be more. difficult to make graceful excuses; than to. express one's thanks, par- r ticu'-arly as the usual reason for the' delay is nothing :but a reluctance to write. The desire to; keep this thought art of the letter cramps the ready Prow of appreciation.

Parfait Christmas Cake Coffee So much for the menu. After the table decorations are settled, eve r.iust gest down to business with the recipes. The Christmas tab:e demands as much`thought and preparation as the meal itself. A Jack Horner pie is not a bit new, but it is always fun, and if the gifts are carefully chosen by a clever hos- tess, it is sure to cause much hilarity. The pie can be bought and filled to order, or you can make it yourself and fill it with jokes picked up at a )ve-and-ten-cent store. The pie itself can be in the shape of a huge snowball, a brick paper fire - p' -ace,' a brick paper chimney top with. a Santa Claus climbing over the top a Christmas sleigh drawn by cellu- loid reindeer, or a "dressy"- basket much beruffled with crepe paper and beribboned with scarlet bows, The jokes er gifts are tied to rib- bons which run to. each service plate. The ribbons can be drawn through the top of the chimney and fireplace, from the sides of the snowball and basket, while the tiny packages are piled. in the sleigh and pulled out in turn. And now for the recipes— The oyster cocktail is simple --each housekeeper usually having her fav- orite brand of sauce. A few drops of legion juice sometimes improve a sauce that is not quite piquant enough. Crisp crackers can be served with oyster cocktails if you prefer. The consomme would be very at- tractive if colored with tomato.,juice to carry out the Christmas colors.' The goose must be young—a "green" goose, to be at it's best.
