day proper is essentially home day, the day
when the family likes to "be party unto itself"
So it is that the affairs to which society and soc
ety's 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 dawnng of Christ
mas day the Washington markets are filled with
holly and mistletoe. 1t is believed that before
long the legislatures Of Maryland and Virginia
will be forced to pass laws protecting the beau
tful holly tree from the hands of the despoiler
The demand for Christmas green's yearly kills
hundreds If not thousands Of holly trees. The
trouble Is that the who cut the branches for
the market little or no discretion IA securing
their spoils Holly branches be cut without
injury to the tree II the simplest precautions are
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 that
in many cases it cannot survive the wound.
The mistetoe, 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 ii springs are not injured in the cutting.
The mistletoe 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
Ititions are connected with the mistletoe, and
many of them traced back to the days before
the Saxon occupation of John Bulls island These
superstitions 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 GEN.

serving all holidays ceremonial occasions just
as they would be observed If they were at home In
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 or
children. Many of the young people in these for
eign households are, for the time being, attending
American schools and have become imbued with
some of the traditions of the Yankee Christmas.
Thus the yue-tide 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 antcipa
ton the proverbal Christmas dinner, but they also
show allegiance to the customs of their native
lands by attending mass 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 a grot-
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 are placed in a
huge earthenware jar which is suspended from the
ceiling and is then attacked by all the young peo
pie armed with canes. When the jar Is broken the
Christmas presents preciptated to the floor
and there is mad scramble for the mysterious
packages.

at Washington will this year afford a spacious set

the important events of holiday week at the cap

Christmas tree hereafter probably will be in evil
dence at the White House at every holiday. Mr.
TART need have no scruples 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 IL
perchance there is snow on the ground they play
the game with red balls instead of the ordinary
white ones, and so when President Taft plays his

Christmas is the great day in the household OF
