PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES:GAZETTE "THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1949 FS) Found: A Wilted Corsage, To Be Treasured for Posterity A rose by any other name. Many's the girl who will blush- ingly admit she still treasures. her first corsage, hiding it on the high- est shelf in her bedreom bookcase where dust collects on the once shining transparent flower box. This holiday season many anoth- er early teenster for the first time felt the thrill that comes from the arrival of a delivery box with a square green box labelled especial- ly for her; and five years from now chances are that the wilted re- mains of the beautiful cluster of blooms, now stretching out its last few hours in a glass bowl on her edroom table will be found stow= ed away in her "memory box." Whether they be fragile orchids, shrivelled in no time at all to a iimp scrap of nothingness tied with a large yellow bow, or hardy red and white carnations, once per- fectly set off against a black taffe- ta frock and now curled and brown at the edges, there are those senti- mentalists who preserve their worn out corsages like jewels. Scoffing at the dreamers who carefully stow away the remains of such beauty, others slyly remove the ribbons, pin them to the enclosure card and tuck the package away with old dance programs and news- paper clippings, safe for posterity. There may even be a few casual ladies who nonchalantly remove the bruised and beaten remnant on ar- rival home from the big evening and, without a_ thought, drop it in the waste basket. But these, with the first corsage, are very few. Later, the novelty wears off. Es- corts save their -pennies for weeks before a formal event, scraping to the very bottom of their piggy banks when 'they painstakingly select the corsage of their choice after discov- ering by devious means the shade of her gown. And the girl of the evening accepts the gift as a mat- ter of course with a barely audible "Thank you, It's tiful." But, gentleme: -- her re- sponse may be but her reac- tion is still present. The thrill of the flower box doesn't wear off and her eyes do light up when she un- folds the tissue to find a sprig of color nestled against fern.

An inter- esting display of crafts, by both pupils and parents was shown.

In his talk he skilfully pointed out that no one doctrine could save democracy. All must have the good of the com- munity at heart and work to that end. Using Denmark as an example he showed that all should do more to- wards teaching the adults as well as the children. As Mr. R. A. Jobb's room had al- ready received an attendance prize, The Twelfth Day of Christmas Wrapped in Tradition, Belief This is the Feast of the Epiphany, O}d Christmas or- Twelfth Day, de- pending upon who is observing it, and where. It is a very old festival, having. its origin in the eastern church, and is wrapped up in tradi- tion and customs, Owing to the vagueness of the name Epiphany, very different manifestations of Jesus' glory and divinity were celebrated on this feast quite early in its history, espe- cially His baptism, the miracle at Cana and the visit of the Magi. In the western church, the day commemorates the visit of the Magi, or wise men from the East, marking the manifestations of Christ upon earth to the Gentiles. The Gospel story recalls that, guided by His star which they had seen in the East, they came to visit Him at Bethlehem, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And warned in their sleep not to return to King Herod, who had designs upon Him, they returned to their own country by another route. In the eastern orthodox churches which keep. the old calendar, and several of which are located in To- ronto, the day is observed as Christ- mas. The occasion is a religious festival with the social celebrations the day following, and it is preced- ed by a period of Advent, very strictly observed in most churches. Outside of church circles, Jan. 6 is the day for throwing out the poor little Christmas tree which was so rudely uprooted from 'its native soil to give a few days' pleasure at Christmas - time. In fact, some people go so far as to say it is unlucky to keep the tree up after Little Christmas. Just why the tree should be dismantled and tossed out nobody seems to know. Just one of those traditions. - Twelfth Day evening parties are popular in England, in Continental countries, and in South America. They resemble the American Hal- lowe'en party as a rule, with accent on magic and picturesque legendry. The Scotch people bake a Twelfth Night cake with a solitary bean in it and whoever gets the" ir crowned king for the night. \ A Greek version of Twelfth Night recalls that people of the farm vil- lages save all their old shoes to burn at Christmas time to keep away villanious little elves, who hate the smell of burning leather. The practice of the Greek priest throwing a cross into a near-by body of water and the young men diving after it harks back to a very early observance. In the mountain villages of Ro- mania the children go on Twelfth Night from house to house, carry- ing brightly painted stars with tingling bells on them, singing Christmas carols, and the villagers throw them nuts and candies, very much like the western Hallowe'en. At midnight, troupes of gypsies come from the country bringing baby lambs with them. The gypsies sing and play flutes while the lambs gambol to the tunes. Christmas Festivities Wind Up Tonight ,' Tonight in England is Twelfth Night, the last night of the Christ- mas festivities. Tomorrow the pa- per chains will be taken down, sha- ken gently, very gently, to knock the dust out, because they're tear- ing a bit at the corners, and stored away for another year along with the folding paper bells. The sprays of holly that have been resting over the family por- traits and familiar pictures will be gathered up, thrown into the coal cellar and this will crackle beauti- fully on the fire tomorrow night. But not the mistletoe, that must never burn. The sprig of mistletoe that has been hanging from the light in the hall will be placed out in the back garden and allowed to blow away. But that's tomorrow's affair. To- night will be a party night. All the old guessing games will be played, and even if you are old and wise, starts again, and tomorrow the pantomime opens at the theatre, AFTERGLOW Now the Christmas Trees have gone-- The season's loveliest sights-- Vanished too the holly-wreaths, Silver stars and twinkling lights. Man resumes his daily round, Dawn to dusk, and dusk to dawn. He slips into his old routine-- Christmas again has come and gone. But the Christ-child comes to stay, Each lowly heart He dwells with- i i n. Christmas Day is every day, If we but desire Him. --Phyllis P.

PUTTING CIN THE BRAKE When most of us pass the 40- mark, nature slowly begins to put on the brake and wise people don't try to force their luck. At that age you probably have a good many healthy, vigorous years ahead, but you'll be wiser to act your age.
