These pupa and others J need homes, says the society* Bayberry Candles Have Long Been Part Os Tradition ‘ To lean gow hcck for the year they eay, Burn a bayberry dip on Chrietmcu day. If the flame burnt bright and the Ught ehinee clear, Good luck wiU be youre throughout the year. This old verse repeats the tradition from the early years of our country that burning a bayberry candle on Christmas eve would insure one of a long and happy life. The settlers of our country found that the bayberry gave oft a wax that would make fine candles. Since animal fats were important as food and for other uses, it was the bayberry candle that was used as much as possible. It was usually the task of the children to gather the berries. Candles have always been associated with Quistmas and many legends give them a place in the observance of this holiday. In Ireland, for instance, on Christmas Eve a large candle was burned which could be snuffed out only by one named Mary. Even today homes that never use a candle, or have one about during the rest of the year, have mantels, windows and dining tables decorated with them during the holiday. And on Christmas eve, with the family gathered about the tree and firepldce, nothing adds to the atmosphere like the warm, soft glow of Christmas candles. [Wt V ‘ 7'!' >■ ;.-o '4 1 ><? Uy fYlxy.
