The travelling public cannot all spend
Christmas at home such are the demands
of business and personal fortune. Those
who come and go make mention of the
fact and talk about where they were last
Christmas. and VOW that If life is theirs
next Christmas they Will AZ home. Those
who can see now that they will be i'm this
city on that day are wondering what
kind of dinner the hotels viii give and
wonder If they are studying up some spe-
cial programme and features for the day.
