WHY AMERICANS CHOOSE PARIS.

Paris letter in Brooklyn Eagle.
The question whether a man about so
wear. who has been In active business
all his life in America, can come to Par
is and contentedly and happily live the
life of a gentleman of leisure, is often
discussed between members of the res
ldent. American colony and the travel
ing community. A Brooklyn woman
once said. at The Eagle bureau: Paris
is nice to start from" Brooklyn man
exclaimed: II would have no place to go
IL I lived in Paris With all this in
mind, and knowing that this question
often come ION the tapis" in clubs and
at dinners. i asked the opinion of an
American who for thirty-five years was
In active business in America. who has
put several firms on their feet when
they were on the eve Of failure; who
has not known for years what 1t was to
take a vacation, but who has been con-
terltedly settled in Paris as 4 gentle
man of leisure for the past fifteen years
and does not seem In the least to be
threatened with nervous prostration be-
cause he is doing anothing. We shall
call him Mr.. Smith for short" for he

two things that one can easily do with
out. that a profound knowledge OF tho
French tongue is necessary for an
American to be happy in Paris. You
well know that the French are the
most exclusive people in the world;
they tolerate foreigners in Paris. but
they never take them into their own
circles. If you become acquainted
with a French family they may invite
you to dinner, and to meet people whom
you will be sure never to see again. If
you return the compliment of that fam

once in two years, or once a year, but
you will never become a part of their
circle In fact, French circles consist
of families and family relations. But
you can live happily all your life in
Paris and not go frequently among
French people. The reason is that
American circles are an established

How Santa Claus Comes to the Pres.
ident's Family.
Wagon loads of gifts are received at
the White House at Christmas time.
They come from all parts Of the coun-
try, the majority of them from persons
unknown to the president and bis 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
given, through the established munifi-
cence of the president, fine fat tllr-
key. Fifty fowls, selected from the
best in the market, are purchased for
this event, so that everybody about the
famous mansion has reason for rejoic
ing.
No one expresses his happiness with
a. more beaming countenance than does

has been a member of the presidential
household since the beginning of
Grants first term. Jerry was Presi-
dent Grants cook, but in these days
he dusts the Offices of the White House
and keeps things tidy there as the ira
ditional pin.
The presidents and their advisers are
usually men of advanced years, and it
is to be second generation from them
that the White House looks for the frol-
les of childhood ON Christmas day.

A Quaint Christmas Custom.

The burning of the ashen fagot is a
curious custom observed in Devon and
Somerset on Christmas eve. The
fagot consists of green ash sticks cut
lengthways and neatly fastened into
a bundle with witty bands. At 8
o'clock in the evening this is placed
on the fire with much ceremony. when
the family and invited guests are gath
cred round the hearth. The flames
lick round the bundle, and, when the
first green withe holding the fagots
bursts, glasses are raised and emptied
to "a Merry Christmasv' The break
ing Of each bond is the signal for a
fresh toast. Legend accounts for this
custom by the story that fire of ash
wood warmed the stable at Bethlehem,
while local tradition tells of a green
wood fire kindled by Alfred the Great
during his lonely wanderings in Som

Russia's BeIated Christmas.

There are two Christmases at the
Russian embassy, but the real celebra-
ton 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 green's from their homes
Countess Marguerite Cassini, the mis-
tress of the Russian embassy, is super
intending the decoration Of monster
Christmas tree, generously laden with
presents, and the distribution Of these
remembrances is followed by a grand
dinner which is thoroughly Russian in
its menu and appointments and as pro-
tracted as some of the celebrated all
night feasts in the land Of the car.

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.

He Shaved For Greece.

In the old days of Bangor there
was a negro barber named Hanson,
who was full of patriotism and love
of liberty and who warmly espoused
the cause of the Greeks in their
struggle with Turkey. His enthusi-
asm at last grew to such pitch that
he announced that he would devote
q day to shaving for the benefit OF
the Greeks. The idea took, and GUS
toners flocked in by the scores, but
when they offered payment the bar
Der declined. He had given notice
he would shave for the benefit of the
Greeks, he said, and tsd'yer s'pose
will take pay when I shave for de
benefit Of de Greeks?" So he shaved
all day for nothing and probably
felt comforted afterward with the
thought that he had done something
handsome in aid Of the Greeks
