If you were a little Belgium girl or boy,
you would All your shoes with beans and
carrutB, and set them in I he ohimney place,
for the good Saint's horse. In the morn
inir your carrots and beans would be gone,

place would he sweetmeats.
If you lived in Italy you would go to the
elm reo to see I he Bambino, or image of the
Christ-child, who is supposed to give the
preset) I b.
If you were a little Spaniard you would
hide your shoes or slippers in the bushes
on Christmas Eve, and find them filled
. with fruit aud sugar plums in the morn
ing. In Bohemia you would watch' and listen
for the chariot and the white bora? of the
Christ child who comes flying through the
air with his Krippe full of gift.
If you were a French child, you would
find gift in your shoes if you were good.
Bu, If you had beeu naughty, Noel, who
brings the Christmas gifts, would leave in
stead, a whip in your shoe.
If ycu lived in Norway or Sweden, you
would set in the window a candle to guide
Krisliue, who brings the gifts. And all
the shoes, nicely polished, would be set in
a row before the hearthstone, to show that
alt wou'd be peaceful in the family during
the coming year. The Bible would be read
in every house, at eve, during the Yule-fred
or Yule-peace, as Curistmaatide is called.
And you would spend much time skating
