In no other city in America IL
Christmas celebrated in 50 many dr.
ferent ways as in Washington, for at
Washington are gathered the Official
representatives Of every land-Chris-
tan az we'll 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 we'll as national in
character. Quaint customs, indeed,
prevail in the diplomatic corps. In
one house you will find Christians
commemorative the birth of the Saw
Jour, while in a house across the street
a pagan brother from the orient is
celebrating an entirely different day,
for an entirely different occasion.
Pursuant to long-established GUS
tom, ambassadors and minister pleni-
potentiaries 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 vel
coined around the Yule log. which
burns brightly in the open fireplace.
A large urn full of gifts is placed
on 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. It 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.
berg's "old Kentucky Home"
The family of Senior Casasus, the
brilliant Mexican ambassador at
Washington, is happy one, and all
of it's members join heartily in their
native way of celebrating the "Pos-
ada" At half past seven on Christ.

ornamented with representations of
saints and angels, the Virgin Mary
and Joseph, the wise men from the
east, shepherds, sheep and oxen. The
presents are previously placed on q
great earthen swan in the center Of
the room, and as the young people
fall in line and march around the
swan, each gives it blow with a
small stick until the bird is broken.
Then the fun begins-a scramble for
the gifts ensues, followed by games
and the usual merrymalking.
An American hostess presides over
the embassy where floats the tri-col-
ored flag, and joins her welcome with
that of her distinguished husband, the
French ambassador. Here, again, we
find the Yule log burning, and in it's
glow the Bethlehem manger is rep
resented. Built on table in the
living room, it remains for two weeks
Of Noel" gentle reminder of the
sacred meaning of Christmas.
At the Russian embassy, few
blocks distant from the French, Nile
Rosen, the school girl daughter Of
the cars ambassador, presides over
the Christmas celebration.
Dreams had on that night are sup
posed to come to pass, and from the
Russian standpoint, unlucky is the
girl who has no dream to relate
while preparing her morning toilet.
Early service is attended in the EN-
bassy chapel (there is no Greek
church in Washington, and then for
tune telling games are in order.
The children of the Peruvian lega-
ton at Washington will celebrate
their Christmas around a "Grotto of
tn Nativity" in miniature, instead of
around the proverbial Christmas tree.
This grotto will be surrounded by
pots of nourishers of various sizes,
with growing plants of different
grains, while the gifts will be ar
ranged in and around the whole.
These presents are always selected
with the greatest care, the object be-
ing to have them indicate the prog.
ress of the world since the birth of
the Christ-child.
