Iu Japan, as well os in other Oriental countries, special perform ances are given in the theaters. In the temples and'shrines priests and attendants entertain the people with special dances. The Kagurn, or .Sacred Dance With Music, is the fa vorite, for while it is being given prayers are offered for the continued happiness of the nation during the coming year. This very old dance Is performed by young girls, while the priests are the musicians. All are in appropriate costume. Another ceremonial, which has been handed down for centuries, Is the Shu Hal, or Dance of the Ancestral Sanc tuary. This Is given witlilu the palace by the imperial family on January 3, and it celebrates the founding of the Imperial house, centuries ago.

Huvlng Informed Ids mother, Frlgo, that a dream had warned him of his imminent death she Invoked all the powers of earth—fire, air, earth and water (Including nil animals and plants)—to come to his rescue. In the combats of the gods, therefore, he found himself uninjured. But Loake, his deadly enemy, was determined to discover the secret of Tils Invulnerability, and by Judiciously flattering Frlgn, and praising the progess.of her son. obtained from her the reason. But, she foolishly told him, there was one feeble little shoot she had not thought It necessary to In voke—the mistletoe. The treacherous Loake immediately procured a brunch of the mistletoe, and entering the assembly of gods pre sented an arrow made from It to blind Heda, with the words—"Balder Is be fore thee.

MYTHS OF CHRISTMAS SEASON Among Some of Peasantry of France It Belief That Bread Remains Freeh Ten Year*. ^^U9~|KGENI>R and myths without ^■1 number have become ssso- HP elated with the celebration of Christmas. Among some of the peasantry of France Is a strong belief that loaves of brend baked at Christmas will remnln fresh for ton years. It Is nlso believed by some of the simple folk that during the whole of the Christmas holidays a portion of bread should be left on the table day and night because the Holy Mother may come to share it. For some reason not to be explained, thero Is a superstition among some French peasant wives that no bread must be baked between Christmas day and the Feast of the Circumcision, because an infraction of thiB rule wilt bring dis aster on the household. There la a peasant belief of age-long standing that If the cattle on the fann be given drink Immediately after the midnight mass of Christmas their health will continue good throughout the year. Another belief is that if seed of wheat be wrapped In a tablecloth which hHS been used for Christmas dinner, a profitable harvest, will be Insured. Another strange belief Is that a cold bath taken on Christmas day will -protect the bather against fevers and toothache .throughout the year. CHRISTMAS RIBBONS TF CHRISTMAS ribbons could ^ express themselves they would suy that people were thrifty, for some ribbons claim to have been doing business every Christmas for many, many years. They are often pressed and made to look their best, but they’re the same ones used again and again. However, if they could philosophize they would rejoice that they were the meuns of adding gaiety, color and cheer to Christmas packages year after year! THE WILD BOAR'S HEAD FEAST The man who rebuilds a dilapidated fence or shod does as much for his home town as if he wrote a fine poem about it. Animal of Woods in Early Days Pro vided One cf the Most Popular Christmas Dishes. MEDIEVAL England tt J I was customary to commence u 11 grand Christmas feasts by tfie solemn ceremony of bringing In the boar’s head as the Initial dish. The master cook, preceded by trumpeters and other men with boar spears and drawn fal chions and pages carrying mustard, bore the smoking head aloft on a sil ver platter, which he deposited at the head of the table. The head was garnished and gnrlnnded with rose mary and laurel, and a lemon, symbol of plenty, was placed between its grinning chops. To the end of her life, Queen Vic toria retained the ancient custom: also In many of the public schools and universities the boar’s bead is still the great dish of the Christmas ban quet. On such occasions every diner rises and Joins in the “Boar’s Song,” which has been sung for centuries. Tlie words are set to the common chant of the prose version In cathe drals. IT’S DIFFER ENT NOW.

THE ANNUAL ROMANCE By Mary Graham Botmor l®. 1922, Western Newspaper Union.) ID OSALIND was engaged to be infer- tied. She was to be married th* day after Christmas. She couldn’t very well be married before then as her fiance was so especially, unusual ly busy at Christmas time, and tt would have been cruel, too, not to hnvo waited. For Bill, her beloved, took the part of a Santa Claus every Christmas for one of the Mg city stores. He was an ideal Santa Claus. He wasn’t too tall, he was not i -m short; he was rather Inclined to a stockiness of build, and extra clothes made him look an Ideal round Santa. He had a ruddy face nnd snapping blue eyes—and dressed in a Santa Claus costume he was per fect. How the chlldron did adore him! And how he loved them I They whis pered their secrets to him and their eyes danced with rare happiness when he waved a good-bye to them and called them; "Sweethearts,” and “My dears," and "Children dears,” and other affection ate terms. Rosalind had been thrilled when she had heard him first, in his deep heuutiful voice uttering such beautiful words! For Rosalind had met Mm first when-lie had been a Santa Claus and she had been an extra sales girl taken on for the Cln-lstmas rush. It had been her first meeting with him. But she had been kept at the store after the Christmas rush was over, and Bill had worked for the store for seven years now. Every De cember he wns Santa Claus. The oth er eleven months he spent In selling kitchen utensils In the basement. They had fallen In love with each oth er, though, at this time when he had been Santa Claus. And many a time when he had said: “Good-by dearie,” to a child, he had been thinking of the pretty girl who was at that very mo ment selling dolls and giving her smiles, her beautiful smiles to a moth er or to children. And now a second Chrlstmss was coming hround, and once more Bill was Santa Claus, and as soon as he was through being Santa Claus they would be married. “I’ve always hsd lots of romance In my nature,” she said to him one eve ning. "I’ve always thought it would be awful to be like some folks—some I know and some I’ve heard talk. One lady who came to the store with h friend was telling how she and her husband got along perfectly. They each had other friends, and sometimes they met and embarrassed others when they told that they were married. For one time ths husband had been having, dinner with a frieud, .and the frteha had been looking fllrtatibusly at his wife who was also in the restaurant. “The friend had been much embar rassed when he discovered he had been Took the Part of Santa Claus. flirting with the husband's wife. And she was telling this us a good Joke. “I wouldn’t want that kind where one goes one wuy and the other the other way. And I wouldn't want to be known as a wife because 1 was quarreling with my husband. “You know how you hear folks say ‘Well, you could tell they were mar ried, all right.' 1 don’t want that kind." “And you won’t have It, little girl," Bill said. “I’m for your kind of ro mance every time. I’m for the kind of a married life where folks won’t think we're married—we’ll be so happy! I had a friend once like that. Why, a cop called him down becuuse he was mak ing love to his wife and wouldn’t be- ! lieve they were married ’cause she I called him ‘darling.’ They found it awkward, but they had the right Idea.” And as Rosalind listened to her Santa Claus, us she counted the days before the wedding, she said to her self : “It will be an annual romance to see Bill as Santa Claus, for It was as Santa Claus that I, too. fell in love with him as well as the children, and every year our happy, merry memories will be revived for us. We believe in romance and romance believes in us, for It, too, is going to play its part.” And someone w{u> knew them both said: “It wouldn’t bo a bad Idea If every man could be as he was during his courtship days for a whole month of every year!” Have Breakfast Room Tidy. Start the day right by having th* breakfast room aired and tidy, even though a more thorough sweeping and dusting is done afterwards.
