Annual Trip of the Grand Old Man With
His Presents and Goodtes-ServIces in'the
Churches-Monday to BE Observed as the
General Holiday by Suspension of BUSH
ness.
Christmas, the greatest festival in
lchristendom, comes tomorrow. 1t is
childhood ideal day-when visions
and dreams rife in the juvenile mind
since the wintry season set in come true
in the arrival of membranes from
that grand and good old man, Santa
Claus who, while pursued by the
grip and all the other ills mansis heir
10. never allows himself TO become SO
indisposed that he cannot make his
annual trip and climb down the chin
! neys and steal over to the tireplaces
and place the pretty things into the
little ones stockings.
And when the children are happy,
of course, the elder folks are con-
tented and happy, and will do every
thing to make the little heart glad.
There will be the usual discussion
over MIR. Turkey and the other favor
ties of the feathery kingdom. Rela-
tives from afar, sons and daughters
at college, will come home to gather
at the parental board and freside and
enjoy the blessings of the festival.
| As Christmas comes on Sunday this
year, as is usual under such
circumstances, the general observ.
ance will be on Monday, when activ-
| ity, so far as the business world is
concerned, will be generally sus-
pended.
In all the churches tomorrow there
will be services appropriate to the
Christmas festival. There will be
midnight mass tonight at Trinity
Episcopal. and at St. Joseph's, st.
Mary's and Sacred Heart Catholic
churches, the usual early Christmas
morning masses will be celebrated;
attended by special music.
