YE JOYFUL CHRISTMAS SAY.
Blow, busies of battle, the marches of
peace;
East, west, north and south let the long
quarrel cease;
Sing tho song of great joy that the angels
began.
Sing of, glory to God and of good will to
man!
MOST of tho long-established im
portant American holidays are
significant only to those who
can look back to a long line of Ameri
can ancestors who lived tlu-ough the
events which gave occasion for these
(special celebrations. But Christmas Is
humanity's broad day. The day when
every class of people in every land
should onjoy a good time; should feel
that the spirit of "peace, good will
toward men" extends to even the least
of them.
Let tho spirit or love and good will
open the hands of those who are
blessed with plenty and scatter bounty
and blessings on every side; and let
there bo none left to grieve alone on
this day when tho very atmosphere
seems breathing joyousness and love.
To many, Chrlstmastlde brings little
.but the memories of happier days. But
in such homes let not the hearthstone
Brow cold or tho heart of the mistress
closed; for if home tie be broken,
there yet remains her kinship with all

humanity, nnd to some of these, nt
least, she owes obligations of hospital
ity at thla season, If ut no other time,
Remember that Christmas Is a day
of giving joy to others nnd If that giv
ing bo done through a spirit of broth
erly love, un unselfish desire to mnku
others happy, we will find that In the
pleasure of doing wo will see the face
of happiness, nnd pleasure that come
unlookcd Tor ore thrice welcome.
While Christmas day Ib one of family
reunions, Its significance gives it it
broader meaning than un occasion for
mere gratification lit eating, drinking
and enjoying the companionship of
those most near and dear to us. Tho
day la most opportune for putting into
.practical working the familiar admon
ition "Love thy neighbor as thyself."
Not thy rich neighbor, but the one to
whose cnvlonn eyes your lives nro
seeming Christmas all the year round.
If because your means are limited you
feel that it Is not Incumbent upon you
to make a feast and bid him to it,
better send him the turkey and "llxins"
us a sacrificial offering on your part
and lot him enjoy on this one day of
the year not only the luxury of a real
Christmas dinner In his own home, but
the knowledge that in one heart dwells
not only the spirit of peace, good will
to all men, but brotherly love, one for
another, that can so far efface all
thought of self as to forego the gratifi
cation of this part of the day's pleas
ure, that a less prosperous brother may
have this yently feast i,.Joy.
With our Christmas remembrances to
the poor, let us see to it tlrat the true
spirit of the day encircles them round
about like a loving benediction and no
suggestion of "charity," that hated
word among the honest tolling poor,
hhall creep In to jangle the sweet bolls
out of tune. Remember "that he who
rudely flings a crust to a beggar has,
indeed, supplied food for a. hungry
body, but has robbed both himself and
the beggar of what was their due
himself of the joy of showing forth the
spirit of Jesus and the beggar that
feeling of fellowship with Clod and
man, that places him In tho 'good
times' that the spirit of the day should
Imnnrt."
The Christmas Dinner.
Christmas dinner seems to be one of
the fixed considerations of life, but in
many homes it has ceased to be such
a. matter of grave importance as for
merly, although it is still given with
utter disregard to "all dletie rules In
most households, and It Is a brave re
former, indeed, who will suggest any
very radical change in the menu of u
good, old-fashioned Chiistmas dinner.
When we look over the list of dishes
which were considered necessary for
the Yule-tide feasts of, merry old Eng
land of long ago, we marvel how they
did it. Think of serving up
"Salmon, vonlson and wild boats.
By hundreds, dozens, and by scores.
Hogsheads of honey, kilderkins of mus
tard, ,
Pliim-puddlngy, pancakes, apple plos and
custard"," etc. ,
And the labor the preparations involved.
It is well to bear in mind Emerson's
definition of true hospitality when we
invite friend or stranger within our
gates to enjoy the mo'tt democratic of
all ,our public celebrations. "I pray
you, O most excellent wife! cumber not
yourself and me to get a curiously rich
dinner for tlila man or woman who
have juBt alighted at your gate, nor a
bed-chamber made ready at too great
a cost; these things, if they are defclrous
of them, they can get for a few shillings
at any village Inn; but rather let the
stranger see, If he will, in your looks
accents and behavior, your heart and
earnestness, your thought and will, that
which he cannot buy at any price, in
any city, and which he may travel miles
and dine sparely and sleep hardly, to
behold. Let not the emphasis of hospl
tality lie in bed and board, but let
truth and love, and honor, and courtesy
flow In all your deeds."
Table Decorations.
These, as well us the houe adorn
ments, must be of such nature as will
Impart the sense of warmth nnd cheer.
Endeavor to fill the atmosphere with
the chrlstmasy breath of the pine trees
and such spicy odors as suggest tho
good things of life. Counteract In every
way the gloom or the cold without. This
year we are threatened with a scarcity
or holly for our Yule-tide decorations.
When Christmas greens are difficult to
obtain wo may make very fair substi
tutes with the green crepe papers, which
can be made into very 'close representa
tions of tho natural greens, and knots
and loops of narrow scarlet ribbon will
give the dashes of color In lieu of the
holly berries, nod apples, esesentlally
tho Christmas fruit, polished until
bright and glossy, and dark evergreen
ferns aro easily obtained and make
very appropriate and beautiful Christ
mas table decorations. Red shades for
tho candles, bows of red and green rib
bon, red and green bon bons, all aid in
carrying out the color scheme, and In
dividual fancy will suggest their ar
rangement in accordance with sur
roundings. The Christmas Dishes.
In merry old England, famous as a
Christmas-keeping country, the boar's
head has been replaced by roast beef,
until recently, and now the American
turkey is wining its way to tho high
place on tho banquet board. In New
England the roast goose has relegated
to the past the former piece de reslst
ence, roast pig. Wild turkey and mlnco
pie have always been considered pre.
eminently American, although the lat
ter Is quite as symbolical as the world
honored plum-pudding. Both these
creations nro supposed to be emblemat
ical of the rich offerings made by tho
three kings to the lufunt Savior in the
stable at Bothlehem. Tho original
mlnco pie was made In tho shape of
a cradle to represent the manger. The
small pies which followed later wore
made like tiny coffins, a form too sug
gestive of the Impending fata await

of the day, but they must in no way
