Some Christmas Love Myths
STRANGE RITUALS T0 DI!- COVEB FUTURE HQSBAND -.-By.- Wilfred Wolff
Girls, if you want. to know about your future husbands, Christmas time will, if you ioliow tradition, give you your chance of piercing the mystery.
Will the all-important "he" be old or young? liyou heed the old prescriptions. you will go to the nearest sly on Christmas eve and knogk loudly on the door. If a great hog grunts iirst in reply. your future man will be old; but if. in- stead. you hear 3. little pig squeal, at young mail will meet you at the altar.
But when will you be taking that walk up the aisle? In Devonshirc they can tell you.
Hope To Hear The Rooster
It is to the fowl-house they go, on Christmas Eve. ior this secret. Tapping distinctly on the door, they are supposed to wait with bated breath for the answer. The crow- ing oi a cock in reply inside will be accompanied by a sigh of re- lief outside: for it. will mean that the girl will be married beioro the end of the year. The outlook would not be so good if the hen got in tint and supplied the answer.
If you want still more precise in- formation about these mysteries. then are indeed a. number of ways, according to ancient lore, in which you can get it. Go into the garden late on Christmas Eve. At precisely midnight, pluck twelve sage leaves. As you loot: up. you will see the shadowy figure of your future husband emerging from the dark- ness. But take good care not to break any of the stems of the leaves in your nervousness. Illigiblc man are said not to like that to happen on Christmas Eve.
Talking Strictly Forbidden
I you do not iancy going out at so late an hour-though you need not fear ghosts, they never come on Christmas Eve-you oan my indoors. and, with a little more trouble, get the inlonnatlon you seek
The way to a man's heart being through his swmuh. you must bake a dough cake. on Christmas Eve. Prick your initials on it and place it on a. stone in iront of the hearth. Then iind yourself a. hid- ing place from which to watch it late at night. As the clock strikes midnight, your Iuturo humsnd will come walking in through the open door and prick his initials beside your own. Only one thing must you beware of. On no account must you chatter, either while baking or

And since there is no reason why lmthor Christmso should not be tall, dark and handsome (or blonde, if you prefer it that way). don't let the others get in ahead at you and pluck too many of the berries. So the lucky one yourseli!

it would be astonishing, indeed. if no candles appeared in homes throughout the nation on Christ- mas Eve. The legend which sur- rounds tho custom is believed to have started in Ireland. There on Christmas Eve a large candle was burned which could be snuiied out only by one named Mary. M the Irish put it: "Who known, on some alrlstmu In. Jesus and Mary and Joseph may come again. not to Palestine but to the Holy Isle on the fartherest edge of Europe?" Their ilrst use for (mriotmu is not recorded in the annals of saw nation, but that the "Christ Child Candle," burned in the window on Christmas Eve is, according to an old legend. placed there to light His way if He makes an earthly visitation and atonement. for the night of ms birth when more was no room for mm.
Also among the legends in one about bayberry candles burned on Christmas.
During the early history of our country, animal fats were relative- hnnchas oi the
