Houston Is typical Southern town.
Although busy. growing city. that is
easily holding It's place among the halt
dozen metropolitan cities OF the South.
It retains most Of the old-time Southern
customs and traditions.
The all-absorbing haste. the breathless
rush. the restless scramble for gain so
noticeable In Northern cities is absent
here Houston people are prosperous. and
they take things easy. believing that one
may gather few roses of pleasure on
the way through life. and still keep up
with the march of progress. In no city
in the South Is Christmas more merrily
welcomed with social pleasures, the ex-
changing OF friendly offerings, and gen.
eral rejoicing than In Houston. The I'm
mense crowds OF people that have lined
our streets and stores for the past week
testify to the fact.
Yesterday was probably the busiest day
among the merchants that the season
has witnessed: and there Is no question
but that 1t brought to the children an
ticipations OF the brightest nature.

ner and view the people.
