fine music and the Christmas service and its en-
vronments are made as beautiful as 1t is possible
to make them.
In the official foreign colony IN Washington the
Christmas holidays are an especially lively and JOY
Gus season. The managers OF the American Dfanch
offices of the governments of the world are ever
eager to show their patriotism and loyalty by OBJ
serving all holidays ceremonial occasions just
as thew would be observed if they were at home III
their own countries. Consequently Christmas IS
the occasion for many diverse and picturesque
celebrations in the homes Of the official foreign
colony There is scarce a household in the cos
mopolitan community that has not its quota OF
children. Many of the young people IN these for
eign households are for the time being, attending
American schools and have become 1mbued with
some of the traditions of the Yankee Christmas
Thus the yuletide programs in many diplomatic
home at Washington presents an odd mixture OF
foreign customs and American innovations
Especially is this the in the homes of many
of the diplomats from South and Central America
where there many young people. These Pan
American juveniles exchange presents as do their
American playmates and await with keen anticipa
ton the proverbia Christmas dinner but they also
show, allegiance to the customs Of their native
lands by attending at midnight on Christmas
Eve and afterward paying homage at miniature
representation of the city of Bethlehem the most
conspicuous place in which is occupied by gTot
to in which tiny figures of the infant Jesus,
and Joseph, together with the three wise men. In
the homes Of the Mexican diplomats there is
followed a novel plan for the distribution of the
Christmas presents. All the gifts placed in
huge earthenware jar which is suspended from the
ceiling and is then attacked by all the young geo
pie armed with When the jar is broken the
Christmas presents are precipitated to the floor
and there is a mad scramble for the mysterious
packages.
The handsome home of the French Embassy
at Washington will this year afford spacious set

the important events of holiday week at the cap

day proper is essentially a home day. the day
when the family likes to be party unto itself"
So it is that the affairs to which society and soc
etys children are hidden usually take place be-
tween Christmas and New Years although in
every particular they are Christmas gatherings.
For two weeks prior to the dawning of Christ
mas day the Washington markets filed with
holly and mistetoe. 1t is believed that before
long the legislatures Of Maryland and Virginia
will be forced to pass laws protecting the beau
tiful holly tree from the hands of the despoiler.
The demand for Christmas greens yearl- kills
hundreds if not thousands of holly trees. The
trouble is that the men who cut the branches for
the market use little or no discretion il securing
their spoils. Holly branches be cut without
injury to the tree if the simplest precautions
taken, but in their greed to secure quantities Of
the beautiful boughs with their shining green
leaves and polished red berries, the gatherers
hack great limbs from the tree injuring it so that
in many cases it cannot survive the wound,
The mstletoe which is found in great quanti-
ties in the markets of Washington at the Christ
mas time, is a parasite which fastens itself upon
the branches of many species of trees. Its re-
moval does the tree good, provided the limbs from
which it springs are not injured in the cutting.
The mistetoe of the Potomac river country is
very much like the mistletoe Of England. 1t is
supposed that this parasite growth was used by
the ancient Druids in their religious ceremonies
among the ancient Britons. All kinds of super
stitions are connected with the mistietoe and
many of them are traced back to the days before
the Saxon occupation of John Bulls island. These
supeTstitions were brought across the water by
the early English settlers, and they are found in
some parts of America in the same form in which
they have existed in England for century on cen
fury.
The White House in a holiday season literally
is turned into a conservatory. Washington loves
flowers and every man and woman who comes
here to live finds that the flower affection speed
lily takes its hold. The White House is supplied
with flowers from great conservatory carefully
tended by men trained to Horticulture. There are
probably flower shops in the capital in pro-
portion to the population than in any other city
in the United States. Almost literally they are
on every corner. The demand for flowers here at
the Christmas season is such that Notwithstanding

a Christmas tree hereafter probably will be in evil
dence at the White House at every holiday. Mr..
Taft need have scrupIes on account of forest
| devastation" because Clifford Pinchot formerly
chief forester of the government, has said that
| Christmas trees enough can be cut to supply the
market demand without threatening the future
supply Mr. Pinchot believes in saving the trees,
and he would not have issued this statement with
out proper study of the situation He did not
give out his edict, however until the Roosevelt
family had left the executive mansion, and while
the former chief forester is one of Colonel ROose
velts intimate friends it is probable that the
Roosevelt children think that the verdict of Mr..
Pinchot on the tree question ought not to have
been so long delayed.
They play golf all winter in Washington, and If
perchance there is snow the ground they play
the game with red balls instead of the ordinary
white ones, and when President Taft plays his
holiday games he will not stand in any danger of

Every employee of the White House receives a
big Christmas turkey gift from the president
and his wife. Some of the White House house
hold servants and some of the members of the Of
fee force have been in the employment of presi-
dents through many administrations. Col. William
H. Crook, who is the executive clerk has been in
the service ever since Grants day and recently he
has written his "reminiscences of White House life
under eight presidents. Since the early Civil war
days there have been children in the White House
under nearly every administration but whether or
not there were children of the presidents own
families to gather about the fire and the Christ
mas tree, young people always found their way
into the White, House circle to help their elders
celebrate the holiday
Christmas parties for young people are always
Ihe regular order of things in the White House
Turing the holiday season. The children of the
cabinet officials of the army and navy officers, of
senators and representatives and of the diplomat
lists stationed here always are invited to merry
making in the big east room.

Golden Gate Eoqs.

The fogs of the Pacific, and espe-
cially those on the coast of California
and Washington, present some char
acteristic features of their own. They
are low lying, dense and of frequent
and regular occurrence, and have been
the cause directly and indirectly of a
large percentage of marine disasters
In the vicinity of San Francisco. Ow-
ing to the general movement of the air
from the sea toward the land, and the
climate of the great interior valley, fog
is frequent and we'll marked. In sum-
mer the, afternoon sea fog varies in
depth from 100 to 100 feet, but it
rarely reaches far inland.
On some afternoons the velocity of
the wind at San Francisco rises with
almost cIocklike regularity to about
twenty-five miles an hour, and solid
wall of fog, averaging 1900 feet in
height, comes through the Golden
Gate, causing a fall in temperature to
about that Of the sea-namely, So de-
grees Fahrenheit.
The upper level of the fog can be
plainly seen from the hills in the vi
cinity. Above the fog level the air is
cloudless, and the afternoon tempera-
ture ranges from 80 degrees FahTen'
heit to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

of the southern atmosphere il the capital to
make the holiday partake Of the nature OF the

day of Christ always has been given warm ana
exulting recognition in the country south OF
the Mason and Dixon line.
There are children in the White House at
this holiday season as there were all through
the administration of Mr.. Taft's predecessor in
Office Theodore Roosevelt. The president has
three children at home with him to enjoy the
holiday festivities in the House Of State. 1t is

Of the younger set Charlie Taft has not out
grown the Christmas tree age and a Christmas
tree he will have.
During the seven years Of the Roosevelt ad-
ministraton although there were five chill
dren in the White House, there was a Christ
mas tree only once. Mr.. Roosevelt did not
like the Christmas tree idea because he is a
great believer in the conservation of the for
ests of the country, and he held that the
Christmas tree trade worked havoc with the
supply Of eYeTgreens. So it that while
Christmas in the White House during his term
of office was all that the holiday otherwise
should be, the children were not allowed a
tree. The Youngest Roosevelt boy, however,
had Christmas tree views Of his own and once
he secured one, trimmed it in seclusiOn, and
then hid it away in a closet where it was not
discovered by his father. the president, until
the Christmas season had pretty well waned.
