Three cen- turies ago the Purita'j decided it .was “superstitious.” and resolvcd to Parliament once ‘:l‘1€l\'e nothing to do with it. In 164-1 the Lords and Commons accordingly ordered “soâ€"called Christmas Day” to be kept as a fast instead of a feast. But it survived and many of its quaint, traditional customs have Lasted into our own day. Mari Ll‘wyld, or Holy Mary, for instance, is still practised in some Welsh villages. A party of villagâ€" ers, chosen for their quick Wit and aptitude at rhyming, dress up as mummers, the leader covering him-- self in a long white shed and horse’s head adorned with coloured ribibons. Round the village they go frmn‘ door to doorâ€"these have been shut and barred to themâ€"begging for permission to sing, telling of cold. hard winter days. and asking for food and drink. Those inside lament in turn that they are poor and have little to spare, and this leads to a merry contest in singing and rhym- ing, each party capping the other. This may continue for half an hour until those inside fail to find a rhyming retort; then the door is opened and‘ the revellers are we]- cormedl inside. In the old days in Wales. when the festive Christmas company gath- ered round the flaming Yule log, you looked furtively at the shadows [of your friends flung on the wall. If the shadow appeared headless its owner would die within a year. If a hoop fell off the cask of cider in the cellar on Christmas Eve, someone in the house would die be- fore next Christmas. The Vi’est Country has been rich' in ancient customs. One of the mast picturessue was that of visit- ing the principal orchards on Christ. mas Eve, saluting a chosen tree with an incantation, then sprinkling it with cider or dashing a bowl or jug of it against the trunk. This was to ensure plentiful bearing in the ensuing year. At Warleggan the trees were hailed with: I-fice’s to thee, old apple tree! Hats full, packs full! Hurrah! And‘ fire off the gun! Sugar cakes were often laid on the branches to propitiate the spirit of the apple harvest. Wassailing, a custom of Scandin- avian origin, is still observed ‘by shepherds and! farm laborers in some parts of the North of England. They go from door to door singing quaint rhymes and carrying “mazers” or | l 2% i il‘ ‘23 it s 5% g 5 Rich 0nd Hill fig iii WEEWBSQEA‘EWEEQ‘SEBQQE Market prices paid for worn-out live Horses Delivered Our Plant Dead Horses and Cattle picked up free of charge GORDON YOUNG Limited PHONE ADelaide 3636 - 166 Keating St., TORONTO aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaana Christmas in England Was Once Forbidden, ut it Has Survived .

To do this he must in the first place plant good seed.
