MYt^gptmmsTMAS SEASON Among domo of Peasantry of France ls Belief That Bread Remains Freah Ten Years. , jEGBNDS and myths without number bave become asso ciated with the celebration of Christmas. Among some of the peasantry of Franco is a strong belief that loaves of bread baked at Christmas will remain fresh for ten years. It ls also believed by some of the simple folk that during tho whole of the Christmas holidays a portion Of bread sbould be left on tho table day and night because tho Holy Mother may come to share lt. For some reason not to bo explained, there ls a superstition among soino French peasant wives that no bread must be baked between Christmas day and tho Feast of the Circumcision, because an Infraction of this rule will bring dis aster on tho household. There Is a peasant belief of age-long standing that If the cattlo on the farm bo given drink immediately after tho midnight mass of Christmas their health will continue good throughout the year. Another belief ls that If seed of wheat be wrapped In a tablecloth which has been used for Christmas dinner, a prob to hie harvest will be Insured. Another strange belief is that a cold bath taken on Christmas day nvill protect the bather against fevers snnd toothache throughout ^10 year. ?-:--m$$(mm CHRISTMAS RIBBONS TF CHRISTMAS ribbons could ?*? express themselves they would soy that people were thrifty, for some ribbons claim to have been doing business every Ohristinns for inaner, many y(ears.
