preparation for the important arrival. Mr..
Blaine will devote Christmas Day to trot-
ting the child on his knee. He is very fond
of children. Cne OF the rules he has estab-

Colonel Boo lngersoll observes Christmas
almost like a Christian. He makes it a
regular holiday for himself and his family.
The only difference he makes in the ortho-
cox observation of the dsv is that no pres.
ents or gifts are exchanged among the fam
ily, with the exception Of his sisters child,
Eva Farrell. This little girl is very besuti
ful. She is about the age Of little Nellie
Arthur. She is always overwhelmed with
Christmas presents, but she is not deceived

absolutely nothing about Santa Claus. The
Colonel says that he will not have her
taught to be lieve in this superstition. She

serves Christmas simply because it is pub
tic holiday and he likes TO spend quiet
