Many writers give credit for its origination to Germany, while others claim that its beginning is lost in the annals of history. English literature dating to the 15th century is full of references to this Christmas favorite, an essential part of Yuletide celebrations In England. Old superstitions held that any person refusing to eat mince pie would be unlucky for the coming year. Should he accept the invitation, and partake of mince pie, he would have the same number of happy months during the year as the number of houses at which he ate mince pie. The oriental character of the spices and flavoring was said to represent the rich gifts of the wise men to the Christ Child.

Simple play things are more likely to hold in terest through long child-hours and less likely to be shelved perma nently. Toys should be safe to use—with out sharp corners or rough place!; or poor paint that might be harmful to a youngster. And toys should be washable. Finally, toys should have what the specialists call a “do-with” quality. Good old stand-bys such as wagons, blocks, clay, sand, finger paints, and the like may fit into the child’s interest of the moment m £ f CHsis 0e o . f ft ' iiirviiiiii]i]iiiinniiwii | iii 1 a. :- ^ vS* .i f.' w -cou. ;>V: THE STABLE AT BETHLEHEM . . .
