THEATER COMPANY
ENJOYS CHRISTMAS

The In Convict Stripes company,
which is billed to play at the Lyceum the
alter, did not reach Tacoma until yester-
day afternoon, but no time was lost by
Manager Frank Whitman and Stage Man
ager j. A. West in preparing the rooms
in the Donnelly Hotel for Christ
mas eve. Determined not to be
cheated out of their Christmas festivities,
a tree was brought in and installed in the
center of the rooms, surrounded by toll
age-draped walls, while from the chande-
iers hung festoons of many colored paper.
The tree was illumined with dozens OF
candles, which shed their light on tinse,
which gave out the glitter of silver and
gold. In another room of the suite was
a table loaded with cakes, fruits, nuts and
sandwiches, with huge punch bowl occu-
pying the place of honor in the center.
On the sideboard were to be found wines,
liquors and cigars for the gentlemen. A
happier party never stopped at the hotel

Christmas eve, the same ceremonies are
gone through with every night. The men,
bers of the family and the guests assem-
bic in a large room, in which is a repre-
sentation of the nativity A musical SER
vice is then held, which is followed by
all the guests, headed by child bearing
on a tray a wax image of Joseph Mary
and the Holy Child, parading through all
the rooms in the house. Finally the child
enters a room alone and the door is closed
Those outside plead for admission and the
child finally opens the door, when all en-
ter, the pleading song changing to one
of joy and praise This ends the re-
ligiOus ceremony.
The servants are then called in and a
scramble for nuts and sweetmeats takes
place among them. This is followed by
the scramble of the members of the fam
lily and the guests. Great figures of men
and women are suspended from the cell
ing. Inside these figures are earthen lars
Tiled with sweetmeats. A child is blind
folded and given large stick, with which
it is supposed to break the figure or "pi-
nata," as it is known. When the lar is
broken the sweetmeats fall to the floor
in a shower and everybody scrambles on
the floor for them. This is repeated until
all the ''pinatas" are broken As part
ing gift, the guests are presented with
delicate porcelain dishes filled with sweet
meats.

In Austria and in Russia Christmas is

Christmas feast which is an occasion of
joy and hilarity. In Austria particularly
the celebration is very similar to that in
Germany, although not so elaborate.

in the Tyrol, strange belief exists that

IN ITALY

In Italy, particularly in the southern
cities, Christmas is very different from
the day in northern chimes. At Nice,
the fashionable winter resort of all Eu-
rope, the streets are filled with flowers
and blooming plants. The southern sun
shines brightly and the scene as the peo-
pie throng the streets and attend the
great churches is one that is hardly con-
sistent with most peoples idea of Christ
mas. The Italian peasants do not cele-
brate Christmas largely as holiday, al
though it is one of the important festi-
walls of the year.

IN FRANCE.

French children do not look forward 10
Christmas with the pleasure of their Eng
lish and German cousins. Save for the re-
lgious services there is little celebration
except in some of the border provinces
and in Paris, the gayest city in the
world. All over France the children the
night before Christmas place their highly
polished shoes in rows before the fireplace,
where they may be filled by Jesus BAN
bin" who is supposed to come in the
night attended by host of angels bear
ing books and toys for the good chill
dren.
Christmas eve in Paris is a sight long
to be remembered. From the Church of
the Madeline to Port St. Martin the
boulevards are brilliantly lighted and lined
with little booths where everything mag
Unable is sold 1t is the custom of all
Parisians to spend an hour or two in this
fair on Christmas eve, and the jostling
crowd is a very interesting sight AT
midnight mass is held in all the great
churches, attended by thousands of wor-
shippers. AS the clock strikes u the host
is elevated, the hundreds of bells burst
out into joyous peals, the organs roll
forth bursts of music and the affairs be-
come masses of light and flowers.
On Christmas day the theaters are open
after noon and evening, and great merry
crowds attend them. The Latin quarter
has its own celebration on Christmas
night. Enormous dinners are served in
the student quarters and these are usu-
ally followed by balls.
