Russfn's BeIated Christmas.

There are two Christmases at the
Russian embassy, but the real celebra-
tioh comes on Jan. 6. The fact that the
joyous festival is, by reason of the use
of the Russian calendar, somewhat be-
lated does not, however, affect the en-
thusiasm with which the celebration is
carried out At time when most of
her American friends are removing the
Christmas greens from their homes

tress of the Russian embassy, is super

Christmas Cards.

The first Christmas card ever pub
iished was issued in 1916 by London
er named Joseph Crandall Crandall
was indebted for his idea to Sir Henry
Cole and employed the famous artist
j. G. Horsley to make the design. 1t
was Autographed by Jobbins of War
wick court and colored by hand.
About LOCO cards were sold. Such was
the small beginning of what has grown
to be a gigantic industry. Every
Christmas after 1916 cards of some
sort were put upon the market, but it
was not until 1862 that they came into
general favor. Then Goodall & Son of
London began to publish cards in
scribed simply with the words "a Mer-
ry Christmas" and "a Happy New
Year" and in illuminated form, and
the following year robins, holly
branches, embossed figures and land
scapes were added. With the succeed
ing years the popularity of the holt
day cards increased, and the cards
grew more elaborate until they have
STAINED their present gorgeousness.

How Santa Claus Comes to the Pres

Wagon loads of gifts are received at
the White House at Christmas time.
They come from all parts of the coun-

unknown to the president and his wife.
These miscellaneous articles are the
private property of the recipients, and
the numerous parcels are placed in one
of the family rooms for examination.
They generally contain the names of
The donors, and to all these notes of
thanks are sent.
On Christmas eve all the employees
of the house-the clerical staff, the
ushers and the domestic servants-are
given, through the established munifi-
cence OF the president. a fine fat tur-
key. Fifty fowls, selected from the
best in the market. are purchased for

Holiday Customs.

At the saturnalia. the heather pro-
totype of Christmas, it was the Roman
custom to decorate the house with
evergreens. This was done to give the
woodland spirits refuge from the cold.
In Atlanta, Ga, it is the Christmas
custom to let free all prisoners whose
only offense has been against the city
ordinances.
The holly and mistletoe that we use
for Christmas decorations show the
survival of the customs of the Druids.
In Russia branches of fir trees are
used for decoration. In most parts Of
southern Europe evergreen trees are
used, while in India the English
churches are decorated at Christmas
tide with all kinds of flowers, palms
and berries.
