Mrs. Willett stated that the custom of decorating homes on festive days is world wide. It is neither pagan nor Christian in itself but rather a natural expression of joy min gled with solemily and has been practiced in all parts of the world for thousands of years, she explained. The plants used traditionally as Christmas decorations were mostly evergreens: first, be- cause they were the only ones available in the winter jcason: century in Strasbourg, secondly, because from ancient ; In conclusion Mrs. Willett times, the evergreens have stated, the custom of decorating been symbols of eternal life. : with Christmas greens and flow Among Christmas greens, the ers has its roots in the legends mistletoe has perhaps the great- and folklore from many lands est number of colorful legends, j and many people. One opinion is mat tne wora,. mistletoe, comes from the mis-j sci inrusn, a rnc.ss,ciiKcr ui me gods, who brought the plant lo earth. Another explanation of the name mistletoe is 'hat it comes from misteltan. meaning a different twig. Its Latin name Phoradendron means tree-tnief. Was Sacred To the pagan druids of ancient Britain, the mistletoe was a sacred plant and valued it for its healing qualities. In France and Sweden, the people also be lieved that mistletoe had mi raculous healing qualities. The use of mistletoe has an interest ing history, the speaker related. Many meanings and customs have survived: the kiss under the mistletoe; Ihe token of good will and friendship; Ihe omen of happines and good luck; and the new religious significance: "The mistletoe bough at our Christmas board . . . Shall hand, to the honor of Christ the Lord: . . . For lie is the evergreen of Life." Medieval superstition in Kng-! land endowed holly wilh special j powers against witchcraft. Ilol- ly is Ihc symbol of Christmas : St joy and merriment and is used . extensively during the holiday ', season. The poinsottia, which is a na-, ? live piam 01 cenirai America, is used throughout Ihe United States and Mexico. Ihc Me.xi-1 cans call the poinsetlia "(lower of the Holy Night," and have a legend which explains its ori gin, Mrs. Willett explained. The cyclamen was called "Cock of the Mountains" by the Arabs. The cyclamen g r 0 w s abundantly in the Holy Land ! where it was dedicated to Mary because of its "red throat" at the heart of the flower, which looked like a drop of blood, it symbolized the sword of sorrow that pierced Mary's heart, the speaker pointed out. j Ivy Banished In pagan Home, Ihe ivy was the badge of Ihe wine-god Bac chus ami displayed as a symbol of unrestrained drinking and feasting.

Some of the carts will go home with the groceries. The ihett u( grocery carts has become almost a fad in thus city. The carls, which cost from S:'5 lo MO. often end up as barbe cue grills, laundry carls or baby buguies. Suburban stores regularly "lose" as many as 50 carts a week. Most of them are returned by the shopper or found aban doned by store employes. T M. Maass. manager of an A,'T supermarket on Ihe west side, sands a truck out daily to eight nearby apartment com plexes and rounds up mosi ot the stray carts. Last year, the truck crew found three carts 111 a swimming pool, another in a niov ing van and seven al a washateria.

Bui. he added, fewer than half the shoppers who "borrow" the carts return them Musi are found abandoned. The real loss comes from carls that are converted lo bar becue pits or even portable chicken coops. "Kids are Ihe main prob lems." said another store man ager, liichiird Newlon "They tear them up for all kinds of purposes One kid put Ihe wheels on a soap box racer " Houston markets are trying to stop the wandering carts hy of fering a cheaper cart that Ihe shopper may take home legally.

The use of ivy for Christ- mas decorations was opposed by most people in m e d i e v a 1 England and was seldom used in curope. Dui a s.yniouiisin oi human weakness clinging to Di - vine strength was frequently ascribed to the ivy. Another l reason for excluding ivy was its ' association with death. The Christmas tree is the main feature of modern Christ mas celebration.
