MINCE FIE
a r ALL THE holiday delicacies, none carries more of the old-time
traditions and associations of good eating and festivity than mince pie.
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.
HELPING SANTA
When Buying Toys for Children
If you wish your child to get the
most available from this year's
toys, be sure to look for the five
major qualities recommended by
specialists.
Toys to be thoroughly satisfying
for the small fry should have five
major qualities, say specialists at
the college of home economics,
Cornell.
First, toys should be durable to
withstand the rough and tumble of
any one child and his playmates.
Sturdy toys can be repaired and re
painted and passed on for the en
joyment of other youngsters, in or
out of the family.
Toys should be simple and easy to
handle and operate. 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

The Christmas tree, now almost a
universal symbol, probably came to
America from Germany, although
tradition has it that Christmas trees
originated in Egypt. The palm tree
is supposed to put forth a branch
every month, and a spray of this
tree, with 12 shoots on it, was used
in Egypt
German writers mention the tree
as early as 1605. The German prince
Albeit, consort of Queen Victoria,
introduced the Christmas tree in
England when he had a tree tor his
daughter.
Basilica of the Nativity

der Justinian.
It is surrounded by three con
