WASHINGTON, D. c. Dec. 14-At
the White house, as in nearly all homes
throughout the land, the principal
theme of interest is the selection of
Christmas gifts and the preparation for
the holidays. President Roosevelt be-
lieves in keeping the holiday in the
good. old fashioned way and as con-
sequence Christmas is always a joy
Gus occasion for all the members of
his family.
1t is strictly a family celebration.
The children are home from school and
for two weeks the executive mansion
resounds with their shouts and laugh
ter, the president himself often taxi
ing part in their romps.
OF course the strictest secrecy is
maintained as to what the Roosevelt
children are likely to find in their
stockings Christmas morning, but the
tastes of the youngsters are so well
known that it is not difficult to guess
the nature of the gifts they are likely to
receive from their parents.

From her headquarters in Toronto
she is credited with doing remarkably

She had her first baptism of blood

came from disclosures in the course
of the trial of youthful dilletante de-

Comte de Warren are charged with a
variety of eccentric offenses. There are
believed to be about thirty so-called

pretty regularly.
Two prominent newspapers are
booming the subject. One positively
declares it is able to name the high
priest of the diabolical religion in
Paris; the whereabouts of the chapels
or temples; dates of regular service
and details of ritual, but has not vet
published the details. Researches and
inquiries appear to justify the state

of devil worship has existed in Paris
