" We Should Hang Garlands. The singing of carols in English vil lages was a good old custom and ught to be revived, as well as the lighting of the Yule log on Christmas eve, for the memory of the English Christmas lingers ever in the British heart, wher ever he may be. In the early days at Jamestown, Va., the cradle of English civilization on this western continent, John Smith says: "The extreme cold, frost, rain and snow caused us to keep Christmas among the savages, where we were never more merry. nor had more good oysters, fish, flesh, wild fowl and good bread nor ever had bet ter fires in England." Kipling, too, refers to the memory of Yuletide in his "Black Sheep" with the couplet, "At home they are making,merry, twixt the white and scarlet berry." And so we should garland the house with trail ing pine, hang the wreaths of holly in the window and the mistletoe 'neath the chandelier. It helps others if it does not help you. Boston's Fine Example. Last Christmas in Boston the mayor requested everyone in the city to leave their window shades up on Christmas' eve to help light the city. Such a, (cheerful glow as it gave to 01(1 Ben coni street amnd Comamonwealth avenue! Downs in the Public gardlens thet city wasI enjoying its municipal Chsristmias tree, a stately fIr, hedcked with myri ad( coloredl electric bulbs, while tihe band~ layed old familiar carols that ve(eredl into popular street songs be fore the crowdl scattered. The scene was significant of Christmas now be- j lng a cosmopolitan festival holding thme heart of Puritan New England, whose holy of holies has heretofore been Trhianksgiving. This is right, and ais it should be, since ours is a land of religious liberty and Christmas is the season of "pea~ce and good wvillj to sall mankind." I A LITTLE BABY SISTER.
