An Old Fashioned Party For the Chil
dren. Tho nrrnngemont of n tnblo nt a
Vuletldo party was qulto unusual, ln
asuuich ns It wns nn old fashioned
squnro ouo. lengthened to nccommo
dnto twelvo children. It wan pushed
back against tho wall, and at tho back
wns tho largest sized Yulo log candy
box, resting on, a bed of holly and mis
tletoe On top of tho log was a doll drossed
ns n Jester, called tho "Lord of Mis
rule," and nttnehed to tlu front end
of tho log by red ribbons wero six
dolls dressed to represent tho first six
mouths of tho year. Following after
tliu log wore six moro figures dressod
like tho last six months. At each pluto
wero n holly pnper covered horn nnd 11
weo tree lit with red wax tapers.
Tho children wero to blow out tho
candles, muklng n wish for each ono.
If they go out with tho very first puff
tho wish will cotno truo. A white nnd
red Christmas ribbon goes to each
plato. fastened by n spray of holly.
Then ench child looks nt tho dolls nnd
says which ono ho or slio thinks rep
resents tho month in which they wero
born.
If there bhotild bo two In tho samo
month tho ono who Is tho oldest gets
tho dolt for that mouth. As thcro Is
ono for each guest, n satisfactory ad
justment Is easily made. The Yulo log
nlso contains small favors for ench
guest.
Enollsh Plum Pudding.
Tor thoao who wnut their plum pud

may prove useful:
Take oue-hulf pound of flilcly shred

dried currants, three-fourths of n pound
of stoned raisins, four tubtcspoonfuls
of dried and sifted breadcrumbs, three
tnble.spooufiils of warm sifted Hour,

threo ounces of shredded citron, one-
half nutmeg grated nnd a teaspoon
ful of brandy. Mix theso well togeth
er, adding enough milk to mako It of
nlco consistency, and boll for six or
olght hours.
This puddlug keeps admirably, aud
when It Is not to bo used for some

hours nnd then bung from a hook, in
tho storeroom until about to bo used,
when It should again bo pluced In tho
pan and boiled for nn hour and a half
or two hours longer.
It may be boiled In a mold, a basin
or n cloth und must bo kopt In which

entire week. On tho way to church
the visitors nro beset by peddlers, who
Insist on pushing under their very
noses little ornaments of ollvcwood
nnd mothorofpenrl. Tho Church of
tho Nativity Is ono of tho oldest struc
tures In existence, nnd, although It has
been repeatedly repaired, It still ro

Christmas festivities this manger

Christmas Eve.
The hoar of time where the frost's Bray
rime
In fantastic glamour lies;
A sheen of Unlit on the gleam'ng white
That mirrors tho spangled skies:
A great cold star In the heavens afar
And a moon trail on the hills;
The earth Instilled with an awe fulfilled
And the night with muslo thrilled.
The carolers sing as the church bells ring.
While up In the organ loft
The sage owls croon as the calm, sweet
tune
Comes swelling, but ever soft
The message nies through the changing
skies
By changing time and tongue,
Out ever the same as the tale that came
The shepherd men among.
Where the mistletoe and the laurel bough
And the holly and bay are twined,
Where the hearth fire gleams as In an
cient dreams.
One age Is but In mind.
As tn modern dreams the hearth Are
gleams,
80, under the casement still,
The carolers sing as the tower tongues
swing
Man's peace and God's good wllL
