IT WAS in 1G21 t!iat Governor Krad-
I'li'd was Ciilied uiioii U) ;.diainisrer

tiie Ne,v Kii.^liind colony wlio h:nl jiist

and who warned to teielinue the h(‘li-
<hty, the I^etroit Xews recalls, i’uritan-

tlower tile iiiUi-Christiuas leoliiic. «ti<l
when tlie groiii) of lusty younii^ters at
tempted to observe the day they werr
sharjiiy criticized hy the coloiiy.
The men were called out to worU
that day as on other <!ays. hut the
iiewcoiners declared it a^'aiU'Jt tlieir
consciences to work on Chrl^'tmas day.
The {governor left them and led away
the rest ol the workers. lUU when he
returned at noon the youni.' men were
i'l the street at ]»iay—some pitchiii;;
tlie l*ar and some playinjr-s'ool hall,
ile took awny the!’' impieii:eiits and
told (hem it was ajja'ust his (vmscietice
that thev shov.ld play while others
worked and that they co\iUJ' observe
the day witlr.n doors, luit there shoitld
be no reveling in the streets.
On the day in. fniestiun a tree was
choppe<l down and d:;i^,c<'d futo one of
the ron;r!i cabins v, her^ it was
tritnined with cranberries and pop
corn, while the youn-j: poopie feasted
their eyes on its b(*a\jMes. The,se •'ri'v-
e’ries" w<*re frowtUMl upon by the ma
jority of the colonists and in the
"eneral court of Massafiiusetts eliricteo
a law that made any p»*rs(>n iMiservin,;;

The carol “God iU'.-
CentleiiH'n.” is L: ^iisn
and dates back to ;;b(ji:t
of the Seventeenth -en ur;.-. althou;;h
the niithor of the wonl> .-mi the com
poser of the music are .liki.oui.. The
fine old luelcdy .sun" to rhis poem po.s-
sesses all the best qual.McaT;ons of a
sterling hymn tune and will probably
last as long as the verses with which
it Is always associated.
The carol “I>r:iw Nigh, liniiumuel.’'
is one of the oldest pieces of colierent
music in existence, and both the word-
and nnisic far antedate any of the oth
ers. Tlie niii.sic is an old French mel
ody, dated from the Thirteenth cen
tury, although, of course, it has been
hj>rmon;ze<l to conform with more
nuulern standards.
There is a most curious htit heatiti-
ful musical eflv?ct at the close of this
carol. The words of “I>raw Nigh. Im
manuel," are about KW years older
than the intisic, being taken from the
Mozarabic breviary of the Twelfth cen-
.tury, and it is generally believed that
they were taken from the liturgy of
the early Christians at Toledo, Spain,
where the Mozarabic breviary was for
mulated.
Another carol, "The First Noel,”
has a traditional French melody and
probably originated in Breton, al
though tlie exact origin of this tine old
song is somewhat in doubt.

HY should men kiss girls who
stand under mistletoe?
Because they like it and be
cause cu.stora allows it. Every kiss
under the 'nistletoe, however, is a kiss
which celebrates one of the most
charming events in Christmas tradi
tion.
The romance goes back to the days
of the gods of Scandinavia, when Bal-
dur the I’eautiful was shot by Locke,
