'Lord of Misrule/ ; 'Hodening Horse' Make Noel Jollier AVVTJbniLnA' piaymuc vw»ci*aftce for your Christmas festivities is lhe game ‘‘Lord of Misnile." When t your guests have all arrived and have been greeted by the miusic I of the Minstrels arid the song of the carolers, it is time for the most honored guest of the evening to arrive. With miich fanfare the “Lord of Misrule” iS announced. He enters with great pomp and ceremony and takes his plate as the master of ceref monies for the evening* ; - ! The Lord of Misrule comes to us from the Tudor courts where he was elected annually to reign over: the Christinas festivities. His word, during the festivities, was and the ridiculous commands he laid Upon the guests had to be obeyed. The introduction of the Lord of Misrule into our festivities offers an unusual method for introducing the many games with forfeits which are traditional for Christmas. At ybiir party, the Lord of Misrule will cohitnand each' guest to do his bidding He may call for singing, dancing, pantomime, imitations and stunts of all kinds. Failure to do the j bidding of the. Lord of Misrule results in the payment of a forfeit. And hefe another unusual note may be injected. The forfeit, ftistead of being f aid to the Lord of Misrule inay be paid to another Christmas character, 'the “hodening horse.” :' It was the custom in Kent, Englandj, for young men tq go from bouse to house with the hpdehing horse, an imitationot a horse’s hehd 1 attached to a long stick. Two J&ds, forining the body, of the horse. Were hiddeh Lorn view by a covering of cloth resembling horse’s skin. 'The hodening horse was accompanied by paraders who rang the bells throughput the town and begged for money i or food. ■ *&C *1 i xfc He'S* A X fej JK.is.A.t.* '- .

Chemical Solution Protects Christmas Trees From Flames To “fireproof your Christmas tree, which is still a hazard even with electric lights, select your tree four to six days before £ou intend toll decorate it. Then weigh the tree and buy one-fourth as many pounds of ammonium sulfate as the tree weighs. This chemical is available in rhost stores. that sell, seeds and fertilizers. For each pound of ammonium sul-. fate use 1% pints of water to make v the fireproofing solution. Mix the I solution in something tall and narrow that will hold the tree upright. Then saw off the tree diagonally so as to give a large cut surface. Set the tree in the solution in a cool place,awa/ from the direct sunlight,, and leave it there until most of the solution is absorbed. — ■A ; j ' ' Can Make a ChridtmaJ Candle You can make a bi£ long-burning candle to fit into your Christmas decorations if you have a number of bdds and ends of partly? burned candles around th® house. Melt thepi and pour into caroobayd containers and remold. Use ice creanf" cartons, oat meal containers or others.'Use plain cord for a wick. When the wax is beginning to set,, tie the wick to a pencil and suspend it in the wax. Let set hard, refnove carton and there is a nice candle for your table. ■ , . . ' \ A- ~~ \ 4 - 1 B. C. and 1 A. D. Were Not a Year Apart According to our calendar, one would naturally assume that between the year 1 B. C. and the yepr 1 A. D. Should be a year called As a matter of fact, go such year exists, as far as his-~ torians are concerned, and the year 1 A. D. -follows - directly after the year 1 B. C. A person born in 3 B C. would pot be five years old at 2 A. D., t|ut would be four years old when iine is calculating data ip that period. When adding B. C. and A- D years, it is necessary tp always subtract . one to compensate sot the year tero otnitted between 1 B. C. and fA. D. ? • . Why Christmas Candles? / On Christmas Eve the . Christ Child wanders all over the ebtth seeking\ deserving people—people who are kind and thoughtful of others, and people who have loving hearts. Lighted candles are placed in the-windows by such people sc that He may not stumble and fall. In the course of His search He visits every castle apd hut,, no matter how rocky and rough His path may be.
