Christmas is the supreme season
CT happiness for children Their
brains are filled with the beautiful
imaginations of the good deeds of
old Santa Claus. Many of them re-
ceive their first strong Impressions in
discriminating between good and
wrong. and the rewards for the for
mer and the punishments for the
latter.
The festive character of Christmas
being undeniable, nothing can or
could be more pleasing to the children
and more strictly in accordance with
the spirit of the day than a house
party.
The day should begin for the child
with The finding of his stockings filled
with presents. which on the previous
evening were hung on the bed post.
This pretty custom should be encour
aged until the wonderful travels and
kindnesses of Santa Claus are looked
upon with doubt by the recipient of
his bounty.
The children should gather about
the Christmas tree as presents are dis
tributed. OF course If the father wants
to impersonate Santa Claus so much
the better. His appearance will be
appreciated by the youngest and can
not be resented by the more expert
enced ones of IL or 13 years.
Here are some suggestions in games.

In no other city in America is
Christmas celebrated in SO many diff
ferent ways as in Washington, for at
Washington are gathered the official
representatives of every land-Chris-
tian as well as pagan-and in the en-
bassies and legations the holiday is
celebrated according to the custom in
vogue in the countries having rep
resentatives there.
So it is that the celebration there
is international as well as national in
character Quaint customs, indeed,
prevail in the diplomatic corps. In
one house you will find Christians
commemorating the birth of the Say
iour, while in house across the street
a pagan brother from the orient is
celebrating an entirely different day
for an entirely different occasion.
Pursuant to a long-established Gus
tom, ambassadors and minister pleni-
rotentiaries entertain their official
STATS at Christmas, inviting also,
such other friends as they may desire
to have visit the legation at that
time.
Probably the ambassador from
Italy and his wife are the most gra-
cious hosts of any of the foreign
ers at Washington. and their guests
at Christmas time are always well
coined around the Yule log, which
burns brightly in the open fireplace.
A large urn full of gifts is placed
on a table and visitors have great
sport getting their presents from out
the vast pile.
Germany is the home of the Christ
mas tree and Kris Kringle. 1t is,
therefore, appropriate that at the kai-
ser's embassy the most cosmopolitan
Christmas should be celebrated-the
custom of the "Faderlandt" blended
with those of the Baroness Won Stern
bergs "old Kentucky Home"
The family of Senior Casasus, the
brilliant Mexican ambassador at
Washington, is happy one. and all
OF its members join heartily in their
native way of celebrating the Pos

an outstretched newspaper In this
paper two holes are cut. The paper
conceals the head of each of the play

MOTHERS CHRISTMAS
BY SUSAN HUBBARD MARTIN

There were three girls of them, all
but this evening new seriousness
was upon them. For one thing, moth
err had gone to bed with sharp neu-
falgic attack that somehow was be-
coming, of late, too frequent occur
renee. Another was that father had
just given them their Christmas al
lowance, for 1t was the 18th of Novem-
Der. and they had already begun to
plan for the great day.
Girls" he had said, as he handed
each one a crisp $40 bill. this year

indeed we ought, yet we are not ex-

Peace on earth, good will to men,

make $40 do the work of $25. We all
try to do too much, and under the
strain the sweet old merry Christmas
of long ago has lost its charm"
He had put on his overcoat and gone

looked at one another.

Joyce looked at 1t also. The sleeves
had heen patched. the collar mendad.
Joyce remembered with sudden
pang it was the best one mother had.
She swept the wrapper on the chair
and took up the little VOTE slippers,
then she went down into the sitting
room. Mag and Fan were still there.

holding up the old wrapper. do you

than any words, representing to these
three hitherto thoughtless daughters

further established sEis claim TO the
pool championship last evening by
defeating William White, of Tren-
ton. Pool enthusiasts who Witnessed
the game said that the exhibition
given by Duffy was one of the best
ever seer here. White was able to
secure but AS points. ~
Whites low was not, due to
fact that he played poor pool, but to
the fact that Duffy played such a
remarkably strong game. Some idea
of Duffy's work al be gathered when
ii is known that during the entire
game he had but two misses TO his
