SOLDIERS-ARD SAILORS CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS fi.v every American soldier and sailor eUrisnijKs day U celebrated, with feast­ ing and stiurtK. though the wen may be thousands and tlionsnuds at miles trwny from home. Dinner, consisting at turkey, mince pie and all other deli­ cacies. is served. There Is also a gen. erous supply of soft drinks. Intoxi­ cants are never permitted la army and navy circle:;, v • Those who wish to attend church in the morning are permitted to do so. although tills Is not compulsory, as in the British army, it Is not 'always possible f<Jr suitors to go to the church around tlie corner, but religious exer­ cises are conducted 1#’ the vessel’s chaplain. The afternoon is usually devoted to athletic sports. If may lie that u concert cff artiateur theatricals will enliven the evening or that the- meu will receive permission to give a dance. Those who wear Un­ cle Sam's uniform do not lose their taste for social pleasures and ns a rqlo are capable'entertainers. .Even the men of an outpost, en­ camped far in the interior of some Philippine province, attempt to Invest the day with as much of the Clirist- riuts spirit as possible unless the coun­ try Is in ah unsettled state, and par­ tial war conditions prevail. The British soldier makes the cele­ bration of Christmas the chief event of the year, and his only regret Is that the day does hot extend over an entire week,, • ' ?> A CHRISTMAS TREE TABLE. A favorite idea For dinner en­ tertaining is the Christmas tree table. Tiny fir frees, arranged with Kate Qrcenaway ■sym­ metry in straight. I.insa,. Are set in a row, one little Christmas tree being placed between every two guests. This-is not, how­ ever, so successful in the case of a round or oval table as it is where a dinner party for twelve or ipore is qp icerhed, necessitat­ ing a long table. The trees, fes­ tooned from one to the other with ropes of tinsel and garlands of silver and gotten “rain;" give a most festive appearance to the dinner. Each Jiny tree,'planted ina red lacquer tub, is, hung with mi­ nute glistening balls1and wf(h bonbon* wrapped -Ip bright tin ’ foil paper In differentysolors; the ' light from the canefles or elec­ tric lamps, reflected by the bright decoration*, giving the appearance of Ipmp*. - * - LEGENDS _OFCW$STMAS, Germain Folklore Connects Evergreen and Garden of Eden, * In Germany there Is 14 legend that When Eve plucked the fatal Apple the leaves shriveled, the free changed: its nature and became evergreen, hearing witnessf in all seasons to tUo fall of man. Only once a year, ou the birth­ day of the Redeemer, It blooms with lights and Is laden with gifts bf love, und so we have the Christinas tree. In the Black forest regions in Ger­ many there la a tradition that on each Christmas eve the Saviour comes to earth in the guise of a poor boy and nsks alms at the house doors. On that day no beggar Is refused food and shel­ ter. It is said that the pc, ttlnr tradition of the entrance of Santa Claus by means of the chimney arose from the story of nerthn. a -oddess of the Norse mythology. When the festival In her honor was celebrated an altar of stoues was erected In the house, and fir branches were piled upon It and set on lire, Through the dense smoke made by the green wood the goddess was supposed to descend und extendhor in­ fluence accordin $ to the petitions of the worshipers, Some of the Christmas hymns and parols are very ancient and have been In many cases transmitted orally through many generations. In Eng­ land It Is still the custom for men and boys, called the Christmas "waits," to go around on Christmas eve and sing carols. A Christmas SubUrfug*.

New England’s First Christmas | T UB first Christmas celebrated inside a house on the Ameri­ can continent was on Dec. 115, 1018, Our I’urltnn ancestors fin­ ished their first house at Plym­ outh, Mass.; having spent mote fhan a mouth in pandering about in search of a place of settlement. The company was divided into nineteen families,- and to each person was assigned a lot for house and garden. It was not n very ehcdrfnl Christ­ mas for the Puritans. All of them could not boaccommodated ifislde the house, so that some of them were left out In the cold, hut the religious features of the day were not forgotten, and It may be said that the Babe of Bethlehem was prayed to and sung to In » most fervent mnn- ner.
