clung all my sweetest and holiest
thoughts; to buy there a little land
to tread the old paths, ramble in the
same woods, look upon the same
scenes, dwell among the same people,

But now? Could 1t be?
AS | walked back to my lodgings
through the street and by the market

tions, some with punches of holly in
their hands. a girl or two with sprig
of mistletoe slyly hid In her muff, a
man wheeling a Christmas tree on a
barrow, butchers boys carrying joints
for the morrow's dinner. Plum pud-
dings and mince pies were displayed
in the confectioners' shops. The
chemist, the hairdresser, the seeds

slim girl walking before me with a
basket on her arm. and l noticed that
the bottom had come out, and that
the contents fell On the pavement.
OF this she was unaware. / stopped

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 Saw
iour, 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 a long established Gus
tom, ambassadors and minister pleni-
potentiaries entertain their official
staffs 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 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 Senor Casasus, the
brilliant Mexican ambassador at
Washington, is a 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
mas eve they assemble in a room
