How One Family Made the HO“‘“I‘Y Pleasant and Profitable. l.\' many childless homes in this country no preparations are be- ing made to observe Christmas with its old fashioned customs and traditions, But in Germany, the historic home of the Christmas tree and the source of many current Christ- mas customs and devices, in no home, crom palace to hovel, however old or poor, are the members without their Christmas tree at Yuletide. Where there are no children it is a beautiful sight to see gray haired old men and women, with perhaps their married sons and daughters and grandchildren, standing around, greeting with undis- guised delight their well laden fir tree. It is an essential part of their Christ- mas and would not be Christmas with- out it. In a refined American home in a small city a few years ago much en- joyment was derived from a Christ- mas celebrated in childish style by a family of adults. During the preced- ing year a son-in-law and a daughter- ! in-law had been added to the fawily group, and the other wembers were a father, n mother, a dear old maiden aunt, the two married children, two unmarried grownup sons and their one sister. A real Christmas tree was purchased, and the women folk triu med it with popcorn, tinsel, candles and all the vest of the paraphernali: required for a geanine okl fashioned Christi 0 On Christiigs morning the house hold assembled, and, ling the in- foetion of the orcasion, all sat on the floor around the tree to receive their preseuts from a boua fide Santa Claus, Among the first packazes distributed were somic made to veeidl fuuny bap- penings of the yenr just passed, which had been selected in order to create merrimment. Screams of lnughter greet ed the opening of a package labeled with the bride’s name, which was found to contain a larze leather medal foseribed with the following: “For patience in making apple jelly.” As a novice in the culinary department she had struggled time and again with the task of making this delectable dish To her husband went a small slide trombene, because in his boyhood days he had aspirations toward learning to play that instrument, practicing on a large one of the ear spitting type. To the maiden aunt, an enthusiastic admirer of Shakespeare and a member of several clubs devoted to “readings,” a plaster of Paris bust of Willle was awarded. One of the boys had taken a pleasure trip south a few wouths before, accompanied by a valuable camera. Ile had left it on the steam- boat dock when be embarked and nev- er recovered it, To him was given a photograph of a beautiful camera cut from an advertisement page of a pop ular magazine, To the father, a min ister of the gospel and hizh up in ec clesiastical eircles, a toy watch—Just a gentle reminder of the length of his sermons. The mother'a early days had been spent on a farm. QOccasionally she had been known to grow homesick for a famillar sizht of something re- sembling farm life. and she had re- cently purchased a few chickens, which she housed in the extreme end of the back yard, much to the disgust of the daughter of the house. To her was glven a toy rooster with a real “crow.” The son-fu-law received a dime bank, to indicate that his responsibilities nad Increased. and the other and younger brother rose colored glasses, to remind bim of his visionary ideas. To the sin gle sister who had been “out” several sensons a ring with a solitaire stone of real glass was given. After these had been distributed the handsome and real gifts of the day were exchanged, and it was a jolly. happy crowd which filed into the dining room to enjoy the feast which had been in course ot prepara- tion. During the following year the father departed this life, followed within a short space of time by the married son. The surviving members bave the memory of that delightful Christroas when they were all together. On Christmas Morn. Th:y fared across the lonely plaing, They dared the desert way. Above them moved the starry trains That rest not night or day. One star from out the splendor shone, A rift of heaven's own light. In fearless faith they followed on, Thelr eager faces bright. Three kings were they of great renown, And from the east afar Until it stood o'er Bethichem town They journeyed by the star. It stood above a cattle shed, And there its light grew dim. To heaven's own Child the star had led. Its glory paled for him. Immanuel! A little Child That very day newborn. They knelt before the undefiled That earliest Christmas morn. Each head was bent to give him praise. Their incense, gold and myrrh They offered him in glad amaze ‘Each humble worshiper. What gifts have wo for Christ today? We, too, have scen the star, And we have found the happy way To Bethlehem afar. Our gold, our myrrh, our incense sweet Shall we not hither bring? Ah, ot baste to Kiss his feet, The little our King! argaret E. Sangster. Salutation.
