MEMORABLE CHRlSTMASES
IN MERRIE ENGLAND

One of the most extraordinary
Christmas days London ever had was
that of 1891. The shops had been, as
usual. specially prepared and decor
ated with the object of attracting
the buyers when suddenly, on De-
cember %, thick fog came on. Not
until the evening Of December 26 did
it lift. This particular fog held the
record for being the heaviest London
had known. Thirty lives were lost
and over 200 accidents recorded.
Christmas, 1860, was the coolest
England and Scotland had ever ex-
perienced. Just three years later
Christmas day was marred by news
that William Mackepeace Thackeray,
the great novelist. was dead.
