Hunting Christmas Ghosts.

Ghost hunting bids fair to become
the ruling passion of Washington So
ciety. The fortunate of a
peaked house, roped with ivy and
densely surrounded by trees, are issu-
ing cards for a Christmas specter hunt.
The Christmas ghost hunt is imported
from England, where the houses are
ancient enough to harbor specters who
were there before William the Con-
queror. The comparative newness of
this country leads some to predict that
the fad over here will fail. There are
exceptions, however, for even in Wash
ington there is n of the treasure
guarding ghosts-an out and out bucca-
neer of the Spanish main variety, with
cooked hat, gold lace, ruffles, high vel
low boots, red Jacket and an odor of
antiquity. Those acquainted with him
say that he clinks his chains of stolen
Observation-Disclosures Star.

MR.. PICKWICK WENT SLOWLY AND GRAvELY DOWN THE
SLIDE WITH HIS FEET ABOUT A YARD APART.

began to stow the things rapidly away
in the cart, while the fat boy stood quiet
ly by and seemed to think it a very in
teresting sort of thing to see Mr.. Weller
working by himself.
The conversation of these two char
acters is too long to reprint here, but
not too much so to peruse with the
greatest interest. We must pass over
the story of the wedding, which was
the day before Christmas event at
Dingley Dell, at which MI. Pickwiek
distinguished himself by a felicitous
speech, and get to the story of the
dance. Dickens description of h old
sitting room is a gem:
The best sitting room at Manor Farm
was a good, long, dark paneled room,
with a high chimney piece and a capacious
Kinney up which you could have driven
one of the new patent cabs, wheels and
all. At the upper end of the room, seated
In a shady bower of holly and ever
greens. were the two best fddlers and the
only harp in Muggleton. In all sorts of
recesses and on all kinds of brackets
stood massive old silver candlesticks with
four branches each. The carpet was up,
the candles burned bright, the fire blazed
and cracked On the hearth, and merry
voices and nBnL nSdTleu laughter rang
through the room. If any of the old
English yeomen had turned into fairies
when they died, 1t was just the place In
which they would have held their revels.
After the dance was over, Mr.. Pick
wick having acquitted himself with
great credit, the reader is told about
the doings in the famous old kitchen.
Here hung the mistletoe and did its
mission well in adding to the jollity
of the occasion. The artist whose pic
lures appear on his pages has done ex-
cellent justice to Dickens text:
From the center of the ceiling Of this
kitchen old Wardle had just suspended
with his own hands a huge branch of
mistletoe, and this same branch of mis-
tletoe i-nstantaneously CAV rise to a
scene of general and most delightful
struggling and confusion, in the midst of
which Mr.. Pickwick, with a ~gallantry
which would have done honor to a de-
scendant of Lady Tollinglower herself,
took the old lady by the hand, led her be-
meath the mystic branch and saluted her
in all courtesy and decorum. *** Wardle
stood with his back to the fire, surveying
the whole scene with the utmost satisfac-
ton. and the fat boy took the opportuni-
ty of appropriating to his own use and
summarily devouring a particularly fine
mince pie that had been carefully put by
for somebody else. $50
1t was a pleasant thing to see Mr.. Pick
wick in the center of the group. now pull
ed this way and then that and first kiss
ed on the chin and then on the nose and
then on the spectacles, and to hear the
peals of laughter which were raised on
every side.
Finally we come to Christmas day
which was cold and cheerful and good
"skaiting" weather. The party all
went to a pretty large sheet of ice,'
where Mr.. Wrinkle, having assumed

The children were asleep when Mr..

decorating the tree. The father de-
cided to light the candles as a test.
They burned; so did the cotton snow

A Christmas WARNING,

the president of the National Mothers
Congress, "our first aim should be to
transport, to overjoy, to enrapture.

with excitement, rushed in from her

the airs of a man who could "skait"
and having shown his ignorance there
of. was smartly reproved by Mr.. Pick
wick. Meanwhile. "Mr. Weller and the
fat boy having by their joint efforts
cut out a slide" all hands participated.
Says the chronicler of the days sport:
1t was the most intensely interesting
thing to observe the manner in which
Mr.. Pickwick performed his share in the
c-eremony-to watch the torture of anx-
iety with which he viewed the person be-
hind gaining upon him at the imminent
hazard of tripping him up. to see him
gradually expend the painful force which
he had put on at first and turn slowly
around on the slide, with his face toward
the point from which he had started. to
contemplate the playful smile which man
tied on his face when he had accomplish
ed the distance and the eagerness with
which he turned around when he had
done so and ran after his predecessor, his
black CATERS tripping pleasantly through
the now and his eyes beaming cheerful
ness and gladness through his s~pectacles.
and when he was knocked down, which
happened upon the average every third
round, it was the most invigorating sight
hat can possibly be imagined to behold
him gather up his hat, gloves and hand
kerchief with a glowing countenance and
resume his station in the rank with an
ardor and enthusiasm which nothing
could abate.
Mr.. Pickwick unfortunately breaks
through the ice and gets a good wet
ting, but, being taken on a smart run
to the house, put to bed and given I'M
limited quantities of hot punch, finds
himself none the worse next morning,
when the party departs from Dingley
Dell.
Thus does Dickens tell us of one of
the merriest Christmases that a reader
could desire. There is nc touch of sad
ness in the chronicle, and all that one
could wish for is that the story were
longer. Long live the tale, and long
may we enjoy Christmas with the
Piekwickians!
