Phone hVesf 55The Christmns entertainment for the primary department of the United Church Sunday school (vill be held in the church hall on Tuesday af ternoon, December 28th, from 2 to 4. Parents are invited to come with the children. 17th Street Christmas Cheer On this &lay of pcaco nnd gla&1- ness Open wide your gates of cheer; Bi&I them come with love's own welcome Those who bear some secret care. Games, new an&i ol&l, will be 6 prominent feature of the mnny pnrties that will take place &lur- ing the coming festive season. One of the simplest aml most entertaining is thought-rca&ling. One of the guests leaves the room, an&I behind closed doors the remainder decide upon some simple act, such as moving 6 vase from one si&le of a mantel- piece to thc other which they will (rim to &lo. The guest to bo operated upon is then usher- ed into the room, blindfokle&l, and two of those in the room take up a position one on either si&le, with onc hand on his wrist and the other hand on his brow on each side. The two operators and the other guests in the room meamvhile maintain an absolute silence, but all concentrate the J minds on willing him to do th~0 thing that has been decided up- on. I The person blind-fol&led should refrain from thought and keep this mimi as blank as pos- sible, in order that the thought wave(( from the other minds in the room may reach his subcon- scious mimi, nnd be carried from there'nto his conscious min&I. There are very few who dn not re-act to the thought waves. some doing so at once nnd others morc slowly, the degree of rapidity with which they do the bidding of the others in the room depemling apparently on the greater or less normal activi- ty of the min&i of the person blind folded. A(Iother game demanding no apparatus will cause consider- able interest and amusement. One guest stands in the centr& of the room with both upper arms close to his side, and with the forearms bent at the elbow so that they are parallel with the floor, both arms being held rigid- ly in this position. Two other guests then take up 6 position, one on either side, and grasp the wrist aml forearm of the guest in the centre. The three alter taking three deep breaths in uni- son, each hold their breath, con- tinuing to do so while the two on either side start to raise th~ third. The latter, it will fo found, can be lifted as high ns is &lesire&l with no effort whatever, whether he be heavy lir light. It is one of the many mysteries that have so far baflle&l science. the law nf grnvity apparently be- ing under these circumstances temporarily susponded. It should lie remembered, in order tn avoid ncchlents, however, that the breath must be kept hei&i by the three until the lect of the person raised are resting again on the floor. There was a large atten&lance of children and friends at the IVhite Gift service held in the United Church last Sunday af- tenloon at 3 o'lock. The gen- eral theme of "Giving" was well brought out by the different classes of the Sunday school. In order each member of the vari- ous classes presented their gifts at the altar. In addition to the gifts an offering was taken which amounted to upwards of 625, which was handed over to the Deaconess Society, to be &lis- tributed with the donations to the needy in the district. Both Sunday school teams won thdir game on Saturday. The Junior "A" defeated Bea- consfield United and the Junior »B" team First United. There will be no matches until Janu- ary 8. Both teams have 15 points and stand high up in their respective divisions.

CHRISTiWIAS CAROLS Christmas, rolling 'round again to make faces at pocket- books and to bring happiness to the major portion of the popula- tion, brings with it a recurrence of the annual discussion of Christmas carols, their why and wherefore and their whence. hIany of our Christmas cus- toms, like the Christmas carol, go for their origin to &lays and years long gone. As a matter of fact most of them have their roots in centuries long gone. ihIodernity has not been able to do much in the way of adding to the Christmas celebrations, except in enlarging on old cus- toms or varying them. The carol is thought by most people to be of early English origin, but as a matter of fact there is much of the French about it. In any event, the Nor- man invasion left a marked in- fluence. And there are some carols that carry Latin couplets for what we would term a chorus. IVhfle many persons continue to insist upon the beauty of the carol, the truth is that some of them, as far as words are con- cerned, are far from beauty. Some, looked upon coldly, come near to being vulgar, or at best coarse. But many of them are exquis- ite in their conception and ex- pression, and presumably one may be permitted discrimination in carols as in anything else. This the &lay of God's own let- ting-- Healing hearts in sari repine; This the giving and the get- ting-- Let your Christmas candles shine! You la Murray. Here is a story from "The Road Round Ireland," by Padraic Colum, which seems to show that Scotland has not yet quite a monopoly of financial ability: A man had gone up to Dublin to see a prize fight. Having s~ cured his seat he went into the bar to get some refreshment be- fore the long engagement in the ring began. He came back to his seat; before him there was a man standing up and putIing on his coat. "Sit down," said I, "I paid to see this fight." "Fight," said the lad, "the fight is over." And it was over just like that. "Now, wasn't that the worst thI(t ever happened to a man?w said one of his auditors, "you having paid for your seat and all!" ".It was nearly the worst. But I had the presence of mind to go down the stairs and sell my ticket to a lad in the crowd." Trouble-Pavmg Ideas IVhen boiling a pudding in n cloth put an old plate at the bot- tom of the squcepan to prevent the pudding from sticking to thc pan. IVhen more pastry has been prepared than is required at one baking, wrap it in oilcj paper, and it will kIep fresh for quite a long time. If food has been burned in alu- minum sauce(lans, warm slight- ly, pour in bailing water, cover, and boil for a'few minutes. The burnt substance will then yiel&l quickly to scraping lvith a chip of wood. Two minutes after lighting burner in the gas stove, open the &loor for 6 second or two to al- low the moist air to escape, an&1 your oven will heat more quick- ly. Blacklead marks can be remov- ed from a carpet if a paste made .. of fuller's earth and water, to which a few drops of ammonia have been added, is left on the stains for some hours. When the fuller'6 earth is brushed away the marks should have disap- pca re&i. A good preservative for linole- um can be made by mixing one gill of methylated spirit and one ounce of shellac. Let the latter dissolve thoroughly, then apply to the linoleum with a snft flan- nel.
