The gathering of mistletoe was I very important ceremony Hmong tht’ ancient Druids. About five days after the new moon they marched In state- ly procession to the forest and raised an altar of straw beneath the finest mistletoe-bearing ouk they could and. The archâ€"Druid would ascend the oak. and. with a jeweled knife, remove the sacred mistletoe. The others stood be- neath the [tree and caught the plant upon a white cloth. for. it a portion of it touched the earth, It was an omen of misfortune to the land. The lady of the house was seated on the young man’s left. Seeing the goose. beremarked: "Shall i sit so cioie to the goose? Finding his words a bit equivocai he turned round to the lady and laid in 3 most inoffensive tone: Another curious thing about the mis- tletoe is that though it blossoms earl- ier in the year than the tree on which it grows. yet the little berries do not ripen before December. Maybe that is because it has to steal Its food from the trees. and therefore cannot ripen early. The very name “mistletoe" gives some idea of its inslgulfit-nnoe. In the Anglo Saxon language “mist" means gloom, and it comes In mid‘wiu- tor, the gloomlest time of the yeur. “Excuse me. Mrs. Blank. 1 mean! the roast one."

MIRACLE or THE moan sfa‘fF There are about 300 kinds of mistle- toe in the world. and each variety grows on the branches of trees and has little white or pink berries. says St. Nicholas. But the pink Denies are found on only the cedar trees. The mistletoe. unlike other plants, gets no food directly from the ground. In- stead, it gets its nourishment from the trees on which it grows. And this is doubtless the reason why It In still the custom to hang It from the ceiling and why It Is supposed to lose Its charm If It touches the floor. It in one of the prettiest legends of ancient Britainâ€"Abe old Christmas story of the thorn of Glastonbury. William of Malmeshury, the chronicler. told it hundreds of years ago in his “Antiques of Glastonbury." It is re- peated often at Christmas time in England.

The legend tells how Joseph of Ari- mathea. was so persecuted by Poutinl Pilate. because he had laid away the body of Christ in his sepulcher. that he fled to Gaul. carrying with him an- der a cloth of mystical white samite. the Holy Grail. In' Gaul he found the Apostle Philip. preaching to the heath- en, and he rested with him a few days. He and a hand of followers fol- lowed the Instructions of the angel. and Arvlgatrus gave them the Isle of Avalon. and bade them erect an altar there to the new God. It was a berm- tlful gift. The tiny Isle lay warm to a verdant valley. Sparkling waves softly lapped lts shore. Soft breezes played In Its trees. and nowhere was the sky so blue as over Avalon. One night a radiant light awakened him, and an angel bade him go to Britain and preach the g'md tidings to King Arvigatrua; and. where 11 Christ- mas miracle should come to past. there to build a church. “This Is where we will build our church," the good man sold. and so. at Glastonbury Abbeyâ€"for so Avalon lu known todayâ€"the thorn bushes bloom whlte at each Christmas time. lend their fragrance to the frosty alr. and remind all who see them of the Christmas miracle.

Christmas day is the anniversary of the birth of Christ, and has been eeie‘ bmted as a Christian festival for sev- eral centurii-s. The Christxnastide lasts from the 25111 of December to the 6th of January. the twelfth day after Christ‘s nativity. The origin of the Christmas tree ll obscure; the thought of Christ as the Light of the World and the Tree of Life muy have given rise to the light- bearing tree, or the popular old belief that every Christmas eve. trees blow seated and bore fruit, may have been the foundation of the custom.
