first of all marshaled and arranged in
their places ut the table in the COM
pany's dining room, which the captain
then visits in order to make Il brief in
spection and see that "all's welr' with
the boys.
After that there is still another mat
ter which Thomas has to attend to be-
fore he can start feeding, but it is Il
matter which is very agreeable to him.

made his inspection the soldiers of the

and to order by the sergeant majors
"Shunr' and Immediately afterward
the colonel, followed by the adiutant
and OTTER officers, enters. Needless to
say, they are received with rousing
cheers. The colonel will drink the
health of - company, toast answer
ed with wild cheering and the time
honored refrain, He's Il jolly good fell

When the officers have gone it is not
long before Tommy proceeds to sample
the good things which have been pro
vided for his enjoyment. Roast beef
and mutton, turkey, goose and duck
are usually included in the company's
menu, not to mention such things as
potatoes, greens, buildings and pies.
After dinner Tommy INDUCES in his
favorite free and easy, enlivened with
songs of all descriptions Patriotism,
of course, enters into the greater part
of the music, although the comic song
is also great favorte. Tommy cares
little what the song may be- however,
so long as it has good swinging cho-
rus in which he can join. Thus the
hours pass by the days enjoyment
generally ending in the veterans of the
company being called upon to relate

n 70 matter where he may be or in
nj what circumstances he may be
placed, Tommy Atkins never
fails to make 4 special effort to
celebrate Christmas day in betting
manner. Four years ago saw thou
sands of British soldier lads spending
the festive 25th round camp fires on
the South African veldt, but they en-
JOyed themselves, nevertheless, in spite
of their surroundings and the difficult
ties under which the Christmas dinner
racks, however, which Tommy enjoys
best of all, next, of course. to spending
it with those who are dear to him.
Comrades unite with comrades, and
each contributes his share of help 90
ward making the occasion one of joy
Gus festivity.
Early Christmas morning secs the
soldiers busily engaged in turning their
respective barraCli rooms into dining
places. Bed cots, which at ordinary
times would be standing ut right an
giles to the walls, are ranged length
wise, and with the aid of spare pail
lasses and gay bunting borrowed from
the stores for the occasion are trans
formed into luxurious looking divans.
The companies vie with one another to
make their rooms as attractive as pos
sible
The homely custom of spreading fes-
toons of pink, blue and green paper
from wall to wall IS duly carried out,
while notices, usually of military
character, abound These notices. by
the way, are often dedicated to pop
ular officers, the following being exam
pies of the favorite forms: "LoLg live
Colonel and Mrs. -" "God bless the
general" "Good luck to Lieutenant
-" etc.
In some regiments it is the custom
to usher in Christmas morning with
flies and drums Immediately after the
sounding of reveille, and after break
fast Tommy has to prepare for church
parade. This duty finished, he is ut
liberty to make a grand attack on the
Christmas dinner The soldiers are
