SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
By every American soldier nail sailor
Christmas day is celebrated with feast
ing and sports, though the meu may
be thousands and thousands of tnilc3
away from home. Dinner, consisting
of turkey, mince pie and all other deli
cacies, is served. There is also a gen
erous supply of soft drinks, intoxi
cants are never permitted In array nnd
navy circles.
Thoso who wish to attend church In
the morning nro permitted fo do so.
although this Is not compulsory, as in
the BrlUsh army. It Ih not nlwnys
possible for sailors to go to the church
around the corner, but ivllglou exer
cises are conducted by the vessel's
chaplain. The afternoon Is usually
devoted to athletic sports.
It may bo that a concert of amateur
theatricals will enliven the ovenlng or
that tho men will receive permission
to give a dance. Those who wear Un
cle Sam's uniform do not lose their
taste for social pleasures nnd ns a rule
are capable entertainers.
Even tho men of an outpost, en
camped far in the Interior of some
Philippine province, attempt to invest
tho day with ns much of tho Christ
mas spirit as possible unless the coun
try Is in nn unsettled state and par
tlal war conditions prevail.
The British soldier makes the cele
bration of Christmas the chief event of
the year, and his only regret Is that
the day does not extend over an entire
week.
g A CHRISTMAS TREE TABLE.
A favorite idea fop dinner en
tertaining is tho' Christmas tree
table. Tiny fir trees, arranged
with Kate Greenaway sym
metry in straight lines, are set
in a row, one little Christmas
tree being placed between every
two guests. This is not, how
ever, so successful in the case of
a round or oval table as it is
where a dinner party for twelve
or more is concerned,' necessitat
ing a long table. The trees, fes
tooned from one to tho other
with ropes of tinsel and garlands
of silver and golden "rain," give
a most festive appearance to tho
dinner.
Each tiny tree, planted in a red
lacquer tub, is hung with mi
nute glistening balls and with
bonbons wrapped in bright tin
foil paper in different colors, the
light from the candles or elec
tric lamps, reflected by the
bright decorations, giving the
appearance of lamps.

LEGENDS OF CHRISTMAS.
German Folklore Connects Evergreen
and Garden of Eden.
In Germany there Is n legend that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple the
leaves shriveled, the tree changed its
nature and became evergreen, bearing
witness In all seasons to the fail of
man. Only once a year, on the birth
day of the Redeemer, it blooms with
lights and Is laden with gifts of love,
and so we have tho Christmas tree.
In the Black forest regions In Ger
many there is a tradition that on each
Christmas eve the Saviour comes to
earth in the guise of a poor boy and
asks alms at the house doors. On that
day no beggar is refused food and shel
ter. It Is said that the popular' tradition
of the entrance of Santa Ciaus by
means of the chimney arose from the
story of nerthn, a goddess of tho Norse
mythology. When the festival in her
honor was celebrated an, altar of stones
was erected in the bouse, and fir
branches were piled upon it and set on
Are. Through the dense smoke made
by the green wood the goddess was
supposed to descend and extend her in
fluence according to the petitions of
the worshipers.
Some of the Christmas hymns and
carols are very ancient and have been
in many cases transmitted orally
through many generations.- In Eng
land it is still the custom for men and
boys, called the Christmas "waits," to
go around on Christmas eve and sing
carols.
RECIPES FOR THREE
DISHES VERY POPULAR
AT CHRISTMAS TIME
WHAT is Christinas without a
plum pudding nnd a mince
pie? These dishes will bo
found on the table nt every
family reunion, at every big function
in our cities and towns, nt the llttlo
cottage on the hill where mother and
father nnd their two little children are
dining alone and, in fact, everywhere.
The following recipes have been tried
and uro excellent:
Plum Pudding. One pound of but
ter, one pound of suet, freed from
strings nnd chopped line: one pound of
sugar, two and one-lmlf pounds of
flour, two pounds of raisins, seeded,
chopped nnd dredged with Hour; two
pounds of currants, picked over care
fully after they are washed: one pound
of citron (shred flnei. twelve eggs,
whites nnd yolks beaten separately:
eno pint of milk, one cupful of brandy,
one-quarter ounce of cloves, one-quarter
ounce of mace, two grated nut
megs. Cream the butter and sugnr: beat in
the yolks when you have whipped
them smooth and light: next put In
the milk, then the Hour, alternately
with the beaten whites; then the bran
dy and spice: lastly the fruit well
dredged with Hour. Mix all thorough
ly. Wring out your pudding cloth In
hot water. Hour well Inside, pour In the
mixture and boil five hours.
Mince Pie. Two pounds of lean
fresh beef, boiled, and when cold chop
ped flue; one pound of beef suet, clear
ed of strings and minced to powder:
five pounds of apples, pared and chop
ped; two pounds of raisins, seeded and
chopped: one pound of sultnna raisins,
washed and picked over; two pounds
of currants, washed and carefully
picked over: three-quarters of a pound
of citron, cut up (hie: two tnblespoon
fuls of clnunmon. one teaspoonful of
powdered nutmeg, two tablespoonfuls
of mace, oho tablespoonful of cloves,
one tablespoonful of allspice, one ta
blespoonful of fine salt, two nnd one
half pounds of brown sugar, one quart
of brown sherry and one pint of best
brandy.
Keep in stone Jars tied over with
double covers. Add a little more liquor
(If it should dry out) when you make a
batch of pies. Let the mixture stand
at least twenty-four hours after it is
made before it is used.
Lay strips of pastry notched with n
Jagging iron In crossbar pnttern upon
the pie Instead of a top crust
Oyster Pic. Make a rich puff paste;
roll out twice as thick as for a fruit
pie for the top crust, about the ordi
nary thickness for the lower. Line a
pudding dish with the thinner and All
with crusts of dry bread or light crack
ers. Some use a folded towel to fill
the Interior of the pie, but the above
expedient is preferable. Butter the
edges of the dish, that you may be
able to lift the upper crust without
breaking. Cover the mock pie with the
thtck crust, ornamented heavily at the
edge that It may lie the more quietly,
and bake. Cook tho oysters as for a
stew, only beating into them at the
last two eggs and thickening with n
spoonful of fine cracker crumbs. They
should stew but live minutes, and time
them so that the paste will be baked
Just in season to receive them. Lift
the top crust, pour in the smoking hot
oysters nnd send up hot.

A Christmas Subterfuge.
Oil, bashful Jack, why did you lack
Tho bravery to do It?
And pretty Jill Is blushing still.
You know you drove her to It
'Twas very late and at tho Bate.
You never would havo dono It
Had mistletoe not chanced to grow
'Mongst trimmings on her bonnet.
New England's First Christmas
THE first Christmas celebrated
Inside a house on the Ameri
can continent was on Dec. 25.
1018. Our Puritan ancestors fin
ished thdir first house at Plym
outh, Mass., having spont more
than a month in wandering
about In search of a place of
settlement. The compnny was
divided into nineteen families,
and to each person was assigned
a lot for house aud garden. It
was not a very cheerful Christ
mas for the Puritans. All of
them could not be accommodated
inside the house, so that some
of them wero'left out in the cold,
but tho religious features of the
day wero not forgotten, and It
may be said that the Babe of
Bethlehem was prayed to and
sang to in a most fervent manner.
WWWfWWW9WW)
For many reasons the Christmas sea
son is especially enjoyable in the south.
New Euglanders, following Puritan
initiative, make much of Thanksgiv
ing, but the resident of Dixieland cele
brates Christmas with all his might
and main.
Because of the severity of weather,
earth's deep carpet of snow, ironbound
game laws or other reasons hunting is
more or loss restricted in the north at
this time. But .there are rare joys for
the game seeker in all that great sweep
of country from Virginia to Texas.
Fox huutlng. quail and duck shooting
and even the more prosule rabbit chase
are Indulged In to the heart's content
It is the most typical of southern win
ter sports, however, that stirs the blood
like n draft of wine when "Merry
Christmas" is In the air.
Nights spent In chase of the possum
or the coon, snappy days In the forests
after deer or wild turkey, expeditions
in ennebrakes after bear these make
lite worth living for the man who
hunts for the love of hunting and
warms to the local flavor and traditions
of the south.
An Old Christmas Carol.
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day, on Christmas day;
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On ChrlstmaR day In the morning.
And all the angels In henven shall sing
On Christinas day, on Christmas day;
And all the angels In hem en shall sing
On Christmas day In the morning
And all the souls on earth shall sing
On Christmas day, an Christmas cUij-;
And all the bouIs on earth shall sing
On Christmas day In the morning
Then let us all rejoice nmnln
On Christmas day, on ChrlstmaB day;
Then let us all rejoice-amain
On Christina? day In the morning,
Wrapping the Present.
Use n heavy lirowu paper to wrap
the Christmas box and a stout, strong
cord, taking care that the ends are not
cut too closely, making It possible for
be kuot to become iinfusteiH'd
