T)LEASANT as it is to dream of a
* “White Christmas” with its car
ols and gifts, feasting and merry
making, the sparkling eyes of chil
dren delighting in Santa Claus and
the wonderful Christmas trees,
these things never can symbolize
the tremendous significance of the
day. I
The birth of the Saviour was the
greatest event in the history of the
world. In spite of all the back-
slidings, Christian peoples have
pressed forward steadily. ' *
However vicious and corrupt,
the world today is far better than
the world of pagan times; fa
miliarity with the cross and cruci
fixion has abolished legal tortures
and much cruelty—and, if given a
chance, might shame us into ban
ishing the curse of international
viciousness for the sake of Him
who became the Saviour of Man
kind.

Brazilian Christmas festivities
embrace an aggregation of mod
ern observances entwined with
ancient traditions brought over
from the mother country of Portu
gal.
The Christmas season in Brazil
begins on Christmas Eve and e^ds
with Epiphany on January 6. And
because it is really summertime
(south of the equator) festivities
and entertainments appropriate to
summertime hold sway throughout
the season.
Miracle plays have always been
performed in adoration of the Holy
Child. Prom olden times, the plays
have had all the dramatic fervor
of a religious performance together
with the gracious hospitality of a
social function.
The scene is at once solemn and
fantastic, with costumes bedecked
with feathers, spangles, jewels
and what-not sparkling in a setting
of luxurious tropical foliage and
blossoms.
Out of the great variety of mira
cle plays, all on different themes,
of which many are in the form of
elaborate dances meticulously per
formed and accompanied by the
music of an orchestra, the dance
of the Four Parts of the World
may be cited as a typical exam
ple.
The roles are enacted by girls
dressed for the part and, in, suc
cession, Europe, Asia, Africa and
America declaim. The discussion
finally involves their respective
rights to make* obligation to the
Christ Child. Eventually, Father
Time appears and settles the dis
pute to the satisfaction of all con
cerned.
HARD TO GET . . . Mary Jane
Ng (yep, that’s Ng) is only 14
months old, and as a result Is
playing hard to get with Santa.
She was at a Christmas party
held for 450 underprivileged
Bowery children in New York.
Make the Covering Gay
When Wrapping Up Gifts
TJALF OF THE GIFT is the wrap-
** ping—let’s make the covering
as gay as the gift inside.
For the girl who likes to sew,
material for a dress in a fabric-
wrapped box, rick-rack for the rib
bon and spools of thread with big
buttons for the decoration create an
unusual package. If you give yarn
for a sweater, use one skein for
the big bow.
Disguise a flat box of letter
paper as a desk pad. Use a real
blotter on top with corners of
metallic paper.
Why not use a necktie knot in
decorating the box containing a tie?
Fasten the ends of the ribbon under
the lid about % way down: bring to
center: tie the knot and shape the
ends tie fashion. Use a dark blue,
wine or green ribbon about one
and one-half inches wide. These are
attractive used on a striped or
plaid paper.
Or the package might resemble
a tiny suitcase wrapped in paper
with the ends bound in decorative
tape. Add a handle and identifica
tion tag.
