AN ANCIENT SUPERSTITION
People formerly believed that the sun danced at Easter, but the passing of years lias dimmed that pretty fancy quite a lot. However, Christmas Morn all the good fairies, elves and gnomes of the world go a-sail-ing far and wide, bent on doing good where good is needed. So, in many a land, milk arid tiny flakes of pure white bread are laid in slippers outside the doors of houses for the “good people” to enjoy. If these have vanished from the slippers .by dawn, the wearer knows that every step he takes during the year, whilst wearing those‘slippers, will be one more step along the highway to good fortune.
