greatest care. This task, because of
th wida range of yeurt covered by
ihe picture, was necessarily a most
difficult one. Hut the result leaves
nothlng to be desired. The difficult
part of John Khead, is taken by Mr.

ample scope for her skill and beauty
as are Mary Allen, Gertrude Allison

not until the year 1117 that It was made
a solemn feusl. Pope Telewphorus de

early Christinas day the Koiiian Em

Christians assembled in their church
were engaged In celebrating the birth
of Christ, commanded that the doors
of the chur n be closed and the build
ing set on fire. This was d'Hie and fit

of the w Inter solstice. The word is of
uncertain origin, says The llnusekecp

many nutlons of old marked the "turn
of the year" that la. the December
solstice by festivals. The KyptlttiiH,
the Hindu, the Persians, the (Greeks
and the Itomiitis all had founts at this
senson, but es(HMiully the Northern
nations the Teutons, the Seundlmiv
